I almost never write reviews, i just tap a star and keep it moving. But I just downloaded this app because was a little short on money but my birthday just passed and I wanted to treat myself to something a little nice. I saw the coupon option and immediately thought about those ads I used to see about honey and thought “why not”. Bro.....it saved me $10 on the first coupon I tried, then $12 on the next one I tried, basically canceling out the shipping and then a couple bucks. Guess who just got a late birthday present? Give it a try, I PROMISE you won’t be disappointed. We're so glad Honey helped you save on your purchases! Happy belated birthday. :)
Honey is a great tool for trying to find savings on just about anything pertaining to online shopping. Browser version is extremely easy to utilize and usually helps to save a couple bucks here and there. Only gripe is that there could be better app accessibility. Honey unfortunately can’t be used properly on the phone even with the app. While this isn’t a big issue at all it would help for accessibility in streamlining the app as a lot of online shopping is mobile based. Overall though Honey in itself is absolutely amazing and has helped me save a good amount of money in my orders. Yay! Ryan, we're happy to hear that you're enjoying Honey to save on your purchases. As for shopping within the mobile app, we'd love to hear your specific feedback/experience as well. Do email us at [email protected] so we can look into it. :)
Great program but run extremely slow, takes about 5-10 mins to upload even the sections of the app let alone the photo of your drop list. I love using honey, saved alot of money with them. I have it on my computers, tablet and now phone. Tablet and phone boot up and runs really slow to load things. And they are all up to date with updates and such.
I've tried to stick with this app and maybe I don't know what I'm doing but everytime I am buying something there never ever is a coupon or promo code for anythng I've ever purchased and I'm a bit of a shop-aholic so discounts are inportant to me. I've installed and then uninstalled (with much frustration)more times than I care to count.
I've used the website extension (Mac), and that's been really great in a ton of ways. But boy, the Android app is frustrating and nearly useless, at least how I'm trying to use it. The search function is terrible, and when you do miraculously hit upon the thing you wanted, there's no intuitive way to add it to your droplist/alerts. Browser = rainbows and kittens. Android app = Excel files in Hell. That means Honey is not part of my regular, on-the-go shopping. Fingers crossed things get better.
Inconvenient, takes longer, web browser extension is better. But the app is bad and Inconvenient. It took me 25min to "not" order a sandwich while using honey and one time it doesn't want to check out even after clicking on it, so I tried again I had to create the order AGAIN!! Then after entering all the card information it gave me an error. It was too late by then for me to do this all over again. I left hungry. Thanks to honey. Should have kept my sanity and ordered from the app instead.
I like the idea of Honey, but the usability is not very good. When saving items to your droplist, they save as separate items for each color/version of the item. So you can quickly have a bunch of items in your droplist when you've really only added a handful. Then when reviewing the droplist within the app, I can only see the first 52 of those items unless I put a category on everything which is tedious also as it can only be done per item version instead of in bulk.
As of late, Honey has emailed me of price drops from my drop list, that are at best inaccurate. Or in other cases, did not exist. I have emailed them multiple times on these issues, and have not receive a single response back! To my experience, it is becoming a waste of time to even expect accuracy in monitoring of pricings here! Update: This notation is what apparently got a response. I have sent Honey the info requested, and we'll see what comes of it? Update: It's been four days? Nothing back
I decided to try honey for the first time by ordering Domino pizza. Domino's had loads of "deals"and "offers" already available on the web site when you go to order. The honey voucher was actually MORE EXPENSIVE than just selecting an offer already on the site ... Not a good start!! Then I checked honey app to see where I can get potential vouchers for. The list of retailers was overwhelmingly based out side of UK. What good is that to me?? I tried to go through the settings to change to UK 🤬
Awful app. Do not use. Rakuten and Befrugal are way better apps. It takes up to 3 months to see your payouts. App is hard to use. They advertise cash back but then when you email them multiple times about it, they give you the run around, only to tell you they can't give it to you because another rewards program was activated. The other rewards program doesn't even have that store in their program, so how does that makes sense. Honey will not honor what they advertised. STAY AWAY!
HONEY IS A SCAM. I've been using this app and extension for about 5 years, and still, to this date, I have not seen any rewards, discounts, or absolutely any perks from Honey. It's always in the background, and it pops up every time I try to make a purchase, but it fails to find any coupons or in the rare occasion that it does, the discounts are insignificant. I'm able to find better discount codes on my own by just browsing online. Uses predatory practices and steals money from its affiliates
The app does not offer any functionality that I couldn't get from a quick Google search. Of the 8 codes they had listed for one store, only one was still valid. The others either didn't exist, were expired, or not valid for my items. Unfortunately there's no way to easily report codes so it's left for others to waste their time on. There's also no description of the codes. A simple report function would be great. Better yet the ability to comment on individual codes but I get that's hard to do.
This app presents a wonderful idea, but fails to deliver. I used to regularly find discounts on this app, but it hasn't delivered one in a couple years. You do accumulate gold for points, but my last several transactions with companies for which I always receive gold have gone undetected. I have emailed five times, tried their touted live chat feature, and they simply do not respond. Do not download this app. Try for something more reputable.
Fraudulent. Steals money from the referral influencers who helped them grow by adding their code over the top if you click a button to close a pop up. It does not always find you the best deal either, I've found better deals 3 times myself using the app when its told me I have the best deal already. There is no reason to use them. Please steer clear! If this was done in retail, it would be fraud.
Even worse than Capitol One shopping, doesn't even recognize either of the Google based browsers installed on my phone by default. I suggest you don't fall for the "we can save you money" scam Save your phone storage and memory, shop how you want, and save your own way. All these apps supposedly designed to "save you money", are really designed to track your shopping habits. PERIOD!
The sneakiest scam ever so far. Don't bother using this app, go back to the old fashion way joining discount group. This app has been tricking people making them think they have been getting the best deals when really it was just what the store payed honey to say what deals were the best ones, like if there was a $20 off coupon code out there but the store payed honey to lie and say that $5 off was the best deal. The app is a whole lie, it was sneaky. Even claims refferal sales, what a joke...
Notifications no longer work, which makes the app useless. The UI is poorly done and I wish it would be better. Top 3 issues: 1. Show an obvious indicator on things that have a price drop; right now you can't tell when something is on sale in the list. 2. Add pull to refresh. I added an item to my drop list on browser and I had to restart the app to see it. 3. Fix headers on the drop list screen - it's difficult to tell which custom list they belong to.
I had some problems with the app with not getting cashback rewards, and then the rewards that I had already accrued became locked, and I'm unable to redeem them. I tried emailing, and was completely ignored. So I tried their live chat, and was promptly greeted and then ignored by four separate agents. If you "banned" me for some reason, I'd sure like to know it, because I've done nothing wrong. And if this is your customer service, you need to do WAY better. Btw, you've been reported to the BBB.
Got an email from PayPal stating $5 towards my first purchase when I installed and used the honey app. Followed the link,downloaded the app, made a purchase from a participating retailer and never got the 5 dollar credit. The app stated I would earn points for the purchase which was more than 100 dollars. Checked back several times to see "points pending" each time. I actually forgot about it until I saw the app icon today. Guess what? Point total is zero... uninstalling now. Waste of time.
I barely get points. I click the extension and use Paypal for checkout. I did this for most of my Christmas purchases this year, received 0 points. Most of the transactions never posted, the one that did post, says pending still with 0 pts. Most of the sites dont have up to date coupons or the coupons can easily be found just by a quick google search. Don't waste your time or your computer's resources.
Chrome extension offered me a $5 gift card which resulted in me buying an $80 gift card I didn't want. Process was unclear and hard to understand. Didn't realize what had happened until I went to use the card code. Customer service has so far been unresponsive. Can't order the products I wanted until the situation is handled. So on top off negatively impacting me financially, my Christmas shopping has been delayed as well. Will be uninstalling everywhere unless is resolved soon.
Weird that i can't checkout with PayPal from this app. And after multiple attempts i have been blocked from the site. What a waste of time. Update: still a huge timesuck. Tried it again at another store, could not get the cart to load. 😕 2nd update, after contacting them, I'm still unable to checkout with PayPal. App is hard to navigate as well as shop in, and checkout is always a hassle. 3rd update: cash back does not always calculate, even if you can get the app to let you checkout. Useless.
Where I start? They used to be a good little way to make some money back on purchases. They are the complete opposite now! Recently I contacted them about some missing points that were pending back from April. E-mail replies were pretty quick, then radio silence. Tried their chat and the minute I gave them my information I was ghosted by different reps. I even used an alt account lo and behold they answered every question. Tried reaching out via twitter and Facebook. Once I told them the situation and gave my info they blocked me on all social media. This scummy scam company has terrible customer service. Will be uninstalling all traces of this garbage and switching to capital one cash back and ebates. If the devs see this don’t bother asking for my email I’ve been blocked by you guys so you’ll never see it just like I’ll never get my gold points redeemed Hey there, thanks for reaching out! We apologize for the inconvenience. Can you email us at [email protected] again or reach out to us on our social media pages so one of our team members can assist you.
I’ve joined Honey since 2017 and have racked up a significant amount of points (around 10,000 Honey Gold). One day, I decided to switch my primary email to another email. All of a sudden, my points and everything I added onto my drop list was gone. I contacted customer service and two months later, my issue has still not been resolved. These points disappeared, just like that, and it was just due to terrible UI. Dealing with customer service is awful, there is also no phone support for me to solve what has happened. There is no record of my history in their system to show that I had amassed all these points, which now have disappeared. So now I have to go into all the websites I made purchases on since 2017, so that I can prove that I earned these points. Customer service does not make any effort to show that they understand or even the least bit apologize. Absolutely ridiculous. Don’t waste your time with this app or Honey. We're so sorry you had a poor experience trying to fix the Gold in your account and for the delay in assistance. We're glad we were able to reach out to you today and help you get your account back on track and get your Honey Gold issues fixed. Please let us know if you have any issues in the future and our team will be happy to help you. Thank you!
I installed the new iOS 15 on my iPhone (12 Pro Max 512gb) and installed Honey, as I enjoy using it on my computers. Later, when actually using Safari, I noted that there was a multi-second delay before loading a site, link, or reloading a site. Also, when I tried to swipe to scroll, it would mostly just not respond, or would sometimes start responding after 2-3 seconds. This happens on every screen of every web site. I initially tried closing Safari and reloading, resetting the phone, etc. nothing made a difference. I later remembered that I had attached Honey, and disabled it. The problem was instantly solved. Disabling Honey fixed the problem, so I began to look for correctable issues with Honey. There was an update (2.2.2) in the App Store that reported that it improved performance in iOS Safari. Perfect! Sounded like what I needed. However, after installing the update and closing/reloading Safari, the old crippling problem was back. I turned Honey off again, and performance again became crisp. I’m sure this is a bug that they can address, but for now, using Honey cripples my iPhone. I hope it will get fixed soon. Hey there! We appreciate you surfacing this with us. Great news - our tech team has released a fix for this now. Please let us know if the issue has been fixed on your end as well. If not, email us at [email protected] :)
