Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers are really happy with the app, finding it easy to use and appreciating that it runs passively in the background while still earning them daily points. Many people enjoy the anti-tracking features and cookie blocking, and they value the opportunity to earn discounts and gift cards for everyday expenses. However, some customers also noted that the availability of gift vouchers is often poor, making it frustrating to redeem rewards. People mentioned that rewards sell out very quickly, requiring them to be fast to secure items, and some feel that the actual value returned is minimal compared to the time invested.

This company is about to get into legal trouble they are taking people personal information and selling it and not paying. I can't even redeem a 5 dollar gift card its all of a sudden having issues verifying my phone number. Customer service is a joke I haven't heard back from them. Stay away from these scam companies it's about time for these people to sit inside a jail cell.

I don't use the rewards program, but wouldn't be without this browser, it makes surfing that bit more secure.
You see less ads, and 3rd parties can't track your every online-move.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Can supply data, however, not be easily rewarded for it....

I have been using Gener8 for years, too long to remember. It quite happily sits in the background on my phone doing its thing and I do like the fact that the Google data now automatically resets every 7 days instead of having to remember to login and reset it.

However, I have amassed over 3,500 points and nothing really to use them on. Paying points for offers that already exist for free elsewhere, not my thing.

The things that do interest me, exchanging points for real world benefits, i.e Tesco, Amazon, Greggs, Just Eat gift cards - virtually impossible to get.

I went on the app today and there is nothing available.

I am worried that there is either not enough money in the data that they are collecting or they are worried that if they released the ability to withdraw all your collected rewards, they would become insolvent.

I think I will be focusing on trying to redeem my rewards over the next few months/year and then deleting the app as I am not confident that they have the ability to pay me for the data that I have provided.
