Rewardle

Gamified design that puts too much in your face while penalising you for withholding certain personal data like your birthday or Instagram. Not one of the apps aligned with contemporary user-centred data privacy concerns. While it’s theoretically a sensible idea to leverage people’s craving for coffee rewards to help businesses attract and retain customers (good!) this app is complicated, overstuffed and demands far too much of my personal information. Won’t be using it at my cafe.

Would be great to be able to add the code to Apple wallet rather than having to access the app.

I have used rewardle for my daily coffee for years but today it wanted a formal login with password. Disgusted. I don’t have the password. Will return to a card.

Locks you out once you try to redeem

The functionality of this app is poor. Too many pieces of the puzzle need to be in line for a simple transaction. Vendors have no incentive to keep their devices online.

I am not providing my mobile number to you for the purpose of collecting coffee stamps, and there is no option to opt out of 2FA. So the only choice to uninstall.

A barely functioning app, poorly designed and implemented. Doesn’t feel like a professional iOS app. Can’t even search the list of card vendors, and the Back button disappears! Worse, other reviews make it clear that these problems have existed for years. Abandoned app?

Such a bad experience. Horribly designed and too busy. Going to convince my local business to stop using it.

Hi, how do I delete cafes from my places that have closed for good or stopped using Rewardle? I have a number of cafes I want to remove from the list.

Can’t even get through the registration process without allowing access to location data, so you don’t get me as a customer. Massive invasion of privacy with no way of not allowing if you want to register. Luckily my local cafe is ditching your rubbish system.
