Very few ways to earn extra credits as well as slightly low payouts when doing things like watching adds to achieve credits.. But hey free is free so honestly just could use more ways to earn the credits.. Outside of the normal glitches you see when using these kinds of apps I would say it gets a 4* average. Now if they made more ways to gain credits I'd say 5*.

Horrible app. After being forced to update login to link with social media I'm no longer able to get a number. My old number somehow expired after upgrading my account and now I'm unable to get a new one. I've reached out to tech support repeated and they have been absolutely zero help. All it does is loop over and over to select state and number.
