Reviews
Rich takes all
finappguy
Good idea in theory, but it’s basically a place for wealthy people to buy luxury goods without paying retail. If you review recent winners, one person named “Astrid” has won most of the goods by donating the most. Good idea in theory, but prefer raffles. Maybe this app is just a way to get rich people who wouldn’t donate otherwise to donate, which is good, but if you only can donate 20$ at a time, not with it with this app. Try Omaze.
Really odd experience

I contributed over $500 over time. When I redeemed love points though nothing happened. No order confirmation - nothing. I contacted their support several times - no reply. They recently reached out to schedule a call and never showed up for a call as well.
Great idea, more needs to be included

I love the idea and how easy it is to donate. I would appreciate if there were more options for environmental causes as most of the projects on the app are women-related. Also, there could simply be more projects and in more diverse locations - I would, for example, love to donate for orang-utan habitat in Borneo or something if the sort. Then you can partner with e.g. Patagonia for their environmentally-conscious goods (the company is like Gucci to outdoorsy people, but still would offer your store more cheaper options for those who don’t want to support overpriced fashion industry).
App for rich people!

I try to donate every month certain amount of money from our income. Therefore, when I saw this app, I was curious to try! Frankly speaking, I am frustrated with this app. I like Natalia’s idea of donation to help charities to raise money as quickly as possible. And people donate hundreds to win luxurious gifts! It means that if you can’t afford to donate, for example, $400 or more you never win those gifts! However, if you spend $30 and up, you can redeem it for H&M top. I can go and buy it myself. If you spend $2400 you can redeem for bracelet or berlutti bag! Who needs this? Is there any ethic to donate just to win/redeem unnecessary things? I prefer to donate without any rewards to good causes. Bottom line: this app is for rich person who is crazy about LV, Gucci etc products and wants to get it by paying small fraction of its original price and by wasting its time donating for every reaction people create! This app has flaws in concept and it needs to be fixed to gain popularity!
Something necessary

It’s a great app but would be really helpful to have a log of some sort of the organizations and charities I’ve donated to with the amount as well.
More rewards
JBretz
I love this concept and I’ve already donated. I would like to see more rewards geared towards men, as all of them are for women at this point.
Prompt support response

I contacted them about featuring my favourite charity and they were so prompt in response! Hope they will like it
Exciting!

I've seen this app really undergo many changes... 3 different complete redesigns since late 2015. The most recent has begun to really hone into a simple vision that seems to be actually getting somewhere now. You can upload pictures or video reactions to campaigns, and people can donate to your response if they please. Personally, the prizes don't really appeal or resonate with me, but I really like seeing the well put together video campaigns and the human touch.
