Fun app, but prizes are VERY disappointing
8thFloorBranch
I will start by saying that this app is definitely interesting and entertaining. It’s very fun to participate in the polls and analyze the results, and I think it is a good way to get people thinking about certain important topics. However, when I first signed up, I was most excited about the prizes. I took as many of surveys as possible to save up points, but I eventually realized that I was wasting my time. Even when there were some better prizes available on the app, most of them were for gift cards that still required for you to spend a certain amount of money — more than the value of the gift card — with whatever website they were for. These days, the prizes section seems to have been reduced to only raffles and charity donations. Considering that I once redeemed points to get a “personalized report” of my survey responses, which I never received despite two separate efforts at filling out the linked form, I have some degree of doubt about the legitimacy/functionality of the raffles and donations. I keep this app around for the entertainment value, but I have pretty much given up on ever getting any kind of actual reward from it. That said, I’m hopeful that that will change someday!
Format is good, rewards are trash

When I first joined, there were pretty good rewards. You could get gift cards after a decent amount of time, $50 vouchers after 6 or so months, and after 2 years you could have gotten a $2,000 electric bike. Pulse then phased out their rewards until the only rewards left are sweepstakes (so you have less than 1% chance of getting the item you want) and donations (that aren’t credited, so you don’t know if they actually donated. There’s basically no point in taking the surveys.
Used to great

This app was really fun. earning rewards for taking surveys! But they took away all the prizes for just a small chance of winning something and donations (which who knows if they actually make) I miss the great rewards. Makes it hard to want to use it everyday
Terrible rewards

The whole point of using this app was to get a reward in the end. I’ve been doing it consistently for over a year and now the only rewards available are for you to donate money to a charity (which we don’t even know is actually happening). Complete waste of time.
Rewards are a lie.

All their VC money must have dried up. There’s nothing left in the reward section.
Terrible Prizes
Yak Enthusiast
While the surveys are relatively entertaining, and it’s nice to be able to share my opinions, the prize options are basically non-existent. Originally there were dozens of cool and exciting things to win, but for months now it seems like you can only either donate or enter a raffle with such ridiculously small odds to be not worth it. Very disappointing change.
Extremely biased

The questions on this app are extremely biased. Example : one survey asked the question “would you cut off a friend because they are republican” but never asked if you would cut off a friend for being democratic. This survey app is disgusting
