I have a message for the developers, I would like it if you could add the functionality of navigation (maybe powered by Google?), even to set it as the default map when you click on an address, then I wouldn't have to pick between having your app open and having my map that's telling me how to get the places your app wants me to go. I do like that the ads aren't forced and that there are multiple ways to earn coin.

This app is damn near perfect. To give it 5 stars I suggest that it truly be able to run in the background. When I put the app in the background and use another app. The auto mine feature is turned off. I will say. From reading critical reviews. I have never experienced any of what is described other than the auto mine feature does not stay active. Don't waste your time with surveys. Surveys are time consuming and you are better off doing the small tasks (games) on the offer wall for coin.

The concept of the app is pretty brilliant I must admit. However, one issue I face is that it is has been rather buggier than usual as of late. It won't auto collect in the background, say if I wanted to check the weather or something on another app. Always have to manually go back into the Coin app to execute that function. Long load times too. As a paid subscriber, (but paused for this month) the $25 a month is a lot right now, especially considering we're in an inflationary economy.

Fix your broken ad system. The app is nice but most of the time, the ads don't pay any coin even when you watch them through. It will end up saying "system error" or "try again later" or "the ad failed to respond", etc. Very rarely am I able to get it to work. It's especially irritating when the ad was supposed to reward me 19 coins but then only wants to reward me 10 or 11 for trying again. Will update the review once this annoying bug is fixed.

App is pretty good, only problem is audio ads freeze up app on my android. They don't finish and it requires a restart. Many of the video ads have very hard ways to close. They need to all have an "x", and not be the same color as the background! I hope the app and the payout amounts improve, at this point it doesn't look like it's worth paying for the pro version, and I am a trucker!

The survey algorithm is a complete joke. Top rated surveys almost never work, and there's times where just as you click to take it, it gives you a message that you weren't a perfect fit for it. I'm signed up for a pro plan and background rewards are all over the place. Sometimes I get as little as .5, and sometimes 80+. Contests are predominantly always won by basic plan users, so there's no incentive to pay for the pro plan, so then what's the point?? And homebase is so random as well.

It's alright if you spend a lot of time on the road and don't mind streaming audio ads. If you enjoy taking surveys or installing games/apps then you'll get more pennies for your time with a specialty service that pays in cash for those activities, but it's a convenient inclusion. Customer service is a dreaded ticket system, but they DO respond. Wish there was an inbox instead of every notification popping up on the screen. Especially when driving. Worth a try.

This sounds like a great deal, but there's a huge catch. I'm a rideshare driver. I drive a lot. However, I have to have my rideshare apps on top when I drive. This brings collection of coins to a crawl as the app is in the background. Even with the premium sub and the nfc card, collection is almost nothing. With the app on top, sure, it collects fairly quickly. In a week I've gathered 10k coins. Which can be traded in for 63 XYO. Worth about $4. And I'm paying $35 a month? Nope. Sub canceled.

Would have given 5 stars, but the audio ads require you to tap the screen Everytime they come up. What's the purpose of audio ads if you have to look at the screen in order to let them play. Was a good feature before that changed. Hard to drive and look at the screen to tell it to play a ad. This feature is now creating a unsafe driving situation and I will have to turn it off. Changed it to 5 stars. Guess someone was paying attention it has started back working the way it did before.

I have been enjoying this app. Maybe i should have reviewed earlier. But today I started getting 15 to 30 second pop up ads every 10 seconds or so. And these aren't just ads that show up at the bottom or top of the app, they pop up middle screen and have sound which pauses anthing i already have playing. Music/Podcasts on Spotify and Youtube. :::Absolutely unacceptable::: Frustrating and annoying, not to mention dangerous because it takes my focus off the road while driving.

Overall needs a lot of fixes, the sentinels have so many issues. They don't stay linked. When I hit the button to ping the sentinel I could hit it multiple times without it relinking. And now the ads. Ads have so many issues between clicking on them and an error pop up to completing the ad and then the app goes back to normal but doesn't reward you. NEW now the app makes you resume and click a button after every ad. Very wasteful of time and not user friendly.

I'd like to give this a better rating. I've been making use of the app and looking forward to seeing where the crypto goes. That being said, I am paying for a pro subscription, something like $25/month for quicker refresh and bigger rewards and the like. When I'm paying monthly, I expect the app to work. But much too often the mining doesn't work while I'm traveling, pretty much the point of it. The gps works, just won't mine. When I am paying a monthly fee, this is simply unacceptable.

Not worth the battery drain. I have been debating deleting the app, but figured, I would give it one last go. Upon opening the app, I received a notification that all of my coins had expired and I can grovel and ask for them to be returned. I'm just going to delete the app. The coins are so worthless that for as many coins as I had, I never got above maybe $5 altogether.

It seems cool, but it stops giving you coins for downloading and playing games suddenly. I played a few games for hours, and 1 stopped giving me coins after 4 minutes and 1 stopped after 27 minutes. Support is horrible. You apparently have to submit a ticket outside the app in order to submit a ticket inside the app. If I dont get my coins for playing these games for hours, I'll probably uninstall. If they fix this, I'll re rate to 5 stars.

This app is very good if you have a little time each day to spend on it, and learn all the features. There are numerous ways to earn Coin other than mining. Surveys, games, daily tasks, ads, and rewarded shopping, to name a few. Subscriptions probably aren't worth it if you aren't moving around much through the day. But the other features allow users to earn a decent amount of Coin for free. The app has worked well for the 4 years I've been using it. It does drain battery with heavy use.

Great app overall. To achieve 5 stars, I would like to see much less app-feature pop-ups. (mint a 10k miner badge etc) It seems these are greedy attempts at getting accidental fast taps, as they place their ad's yes buttons on top of other buttons you are likely going to press while going through your rounds(turning on auto, collecting hodl, witnessing, etc) and also set a delay to their popups to trigger you to proceed before they appear. It's predatory and unethical and costs 3 stars.

Good app with decent UI/UX, with definite positive attributes but some room for improvement. Earning is pretty slow, and unless you pay for upgrades, many features remain locked. There is also a huge lag in many features, lots of ambiguity in the geoclaims and gameifyed travel mode, and lots of pop-ups or redirects to other pages online. These diminish the fun/momentum and make prolonged engagement cumbersome and often fruitless. With the right fixes/ updates, it could be great.

I gave it 6 weeks. 2 free and 4 on the pro plan. I agree with a previous review that it suddenly stopped giving me the rewards for the tasks I was used to getting them on (walking x # steps, driving home, etc). The games got harder to win coin and even with a lot of gaming it was hard to get coin. I used it while moving around and found the search for locations laggy and the navigation didnt nav. I'm not breaking even on my pro subscription. I am removing the app.

Positive: They really do pay! Negative: Not worth the upgraded accounts. I drive for a living and I've had the pro account for years. I just did a calculation for the last 20 months and found that I have spent more on the subscription than I have been earning, taking a loss in those 20 months of $287.26. I cancelled my pro account and will just deal with the free account. It may take longer to be able to cash out, but at least I won't be losing anymore money.

I've enjoyed using this app over about the past year, on the pro plan for most of it. The tech support has been absolutely wonderful. The three times I've had to contact them, they always replied quickly, and resolved the problem within a few days. And I got the quest 3 I redeemed my coins for, just a few days ago. Could have gotten it for free, but it would have taken a lot longer, and significantly more time. Will continue to use this coin app!
