Editor's Review
How it works:
This is a loyalty scheme rather than a shopping app. Scan a code at the till or link an online order, and money accumulates in a cashpot that can be spent against a future shop. Earnings arrive by two routes: star products, which pay a set sum for buying a named item, and missions, which pay for hitting a spending target or collecting several items from a category inside a time window.
What it gets right:
The cashpot is denominated in pounds rather than points, so the value is legible without arithmetic. Missions are personalised around what you already buy, and a household shopping here weekly will clear several a month without changing habits. Receipts are stored and active missions show progress bars.
The rating problem:
A 2.68 average across 5M+ installs is low, and the reviews agree on why: missions that fail to register after a qualifying trip, balances that lag or disappear, scanning that will not work at the checkout, and logins that break after an update. For a scheme whose whole purpose is accurate tracking, tracking failures destroy the point, and support has a reputation for resolving them slowly.
Bottom line:
Worth having if this is your main supermarket, because the money is real and the effort is small. Expect to verify that a shop counted rather than assuming it did, and hold on to receipts until the balance updates.

Questions people ask
Do I need an account?
Yes. The cashpot is attached to an account, and in-store scans and online orders have to be linked to it before anything accumulates.
What if a mission does not register?
This is the single most common complaint. Keep the receipt, since customer service can credit the missing amount manually, although reviewers describe the process as slow.
Can it be used outside the UK?
No. The scheme covers stores in the United Kingdom only, so the app serves no purpose elsewhere.
