Unreliable App

This app used to be reliable; however, it has not worked properly for quite some time.
1. I cannot redeem kicks for rewards.
2. The app is no longer available in the play store.
3. The website is no longer working.
4. Some people cannot even get the app to launch at all.

It would be great if someone from shopkick would step up and explain the issues and/or get them fixed.

Waste of time app

First of all, I tried to write a review on the email that they sent me and it goes. Oh something went wrong. That’s what their app always says oh something went wrong. You shouldn’t have to work so hard to get your kicks. I take a picture of the receipt and submit it and it goes. Oh something went wrong. It’s always something went wrong. It’s a terrible app and you scanned stuff at the store. It’s the exact product goes took the goal support or it’s not the right product when it’s clearly the right product

I enjoy getting out and into the stores. My sister and I go together now. There is also lunch involved too yum. There's just one thing that bugs me. Back several years ago it was so exciting to get a lot of points for scanning an item. I paid for Christmas for 20 shop kicking. But now the points offered to scan an item are so low. Not an incentive to go out. Also I am not in this to communicate with others on line. I will keep doings it to hang out with my sister. Thanks

It’s great to scan items and get points to help with gift cards to help with purchases . So this is a good app for all who wants to save money. I would love to see more items like bread, sanitary items, cleaning products. Just a suggestion.

The app has some decent offers although not as good as ibotta, Swagbucks and Checkout 51. But they keep sending me emails every month claiming that I have earned X number of kicks the previous month and on checking I haven't earned even 25% of what they say.

Seems to me this app is a front for some sort of money laundering based on their numbers.
I've replied to their emails disputing the monthly totals they claim I've earned, but no response so far this year.

Going downhill

I have been a Shopkick user for over a decade. For years you could make some nice extra fun money with the app. I even won a sweepstakes that made me a lot of cash. Lately though the number of available offers has crashed. I could make 10-20 dollars a week in the past, sometimes more. But now you’re lucky to be able to cash in every two weeks. I still use the app, but I don’t put anything like the effort I used to put into it. It’s just not worth my time anymore

What a WASTE OF A GOOD APP TO JUST UP & DELETE EVERYTHING,NO WARNING, SHAME ON YOU!! I have used Shopkick for many years & totally enjoy making a few bucks extra for gift cards to use for groceries or whatever.

Not what it used to be

This app used to be the best app for earning points ("kicks") toward gift cards. I earned over 25,000 kicks per month by scanning items in stores, with 25,000 equaling $100. Last month I earned just over 2,000, not even enough for $10. There aren't nearly as many scan options as there used to be, making it not worth the gas money to drive to the stores. In the past I have bought iPhones, a Vitamix blender ($500), and other big ticket items with my kicks. Now it takes way too long to earn kicks for those items. I still scan for kicks but know it will take a very long time to purchase anything. Shopkick gives kicks for up to 200 videos a day, but those don't even work anymore. Some days I get zero. They just don't work like they used to.
