New to the ap. But work for one day. Then even though everything is turn on and looks like running properly. Nothing recording in the daily drives. Anyone else having this issue after first day ? I have tried for a week.. Clearly not working as advertised. Not logging. Reinstalled ap work for 1 mile and stopped. Concept is good. Execution bad. No way to redeem anything at all. Says can pay to paypal. Not available. Please fix the ap

I like the idea of getting paid to not use my phone, but there are a few kinks that need to be worked out. My GPS is very accurate for other apps, but this one doesn't track me accurately, so I haven't received full credit for all miles I've driven. I wish we could manually turn on the Do Not Disturb, instead of waiting for the app to recognize that we're moving. It takes too long for it to register, so I lose miles. Also, I have over $17 in my account and am confused about how to cash out.

I like the app, and I like the incentive of being payed to keep off the phone while behind the wheel, but unfortunately I'm not a fan of the payouts, especially since the 2 lowest payouts require referrals, and the largest requires you to make 10,000 in app cash for only 1000 dollars. At .05 cents a mile that's a very, very long time for a payout. Itd be great if the mileage pay rate was increased, or if you could withdraw a portion of the in app cash you've made.

It is a great concept, I love the idea. The execution needs lots of work. Some times it never turns on do not disturb. Then other times like recent. It turns on do not disturb while driving but does not track anything. Do not disturb has been on every day when driving but nothing has been logged or tracked since Nov 22nd. It is now Dec 7th...... I should probably have close to $2k of on my way cash by now with all the miles the app has not tracked.. Very disappointed.

This app is a great concept, but not well-executed. First of all, most of the lower ratings are because the app is either a battery hog (in my experience, it is), it doesn't calculate miles correctly (didn't have that issue) or they can't figure out how to get paid. I figured the pay part out by going through the helpdesk. You have to use the marathon cards to get paid, so even though they want you to link the app to paypal, or venmo, they aren't going to let you pay out that way. From what I've gathered from all of the other reviews I've seen, the marathon cards are nearly impossible to get because there are so few of them available in the lower dollar amounts. I've sent an email asking them to kindly remove my personal identifiable information from their database, and I'll update my review after I receive an email from them with thier intentions. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

While the idea is awesome! Keeps me from looking at my phone. The app and everything is very misleading. Have to accumulate 250 referrals to get money or get $10,000 in on my way cash to get $1,000 ( which would take forever to do) just misleading. The one deal $25 shell card is always sold out. Again, good basis for an app to keep you safe and non distracted while driving but truly reward your app installers for doing so!!

Only works 1 out of 4 times, at best. Also, has a notification that stays on your phone, that will not go away. Things that can be bought are mostly discounts, and modest ones at that. The cash prizes, require a unheard of amount of refereals. More people than i even know. This app had some potiential, but they made good prizes, unobtainable for 99% of users, and reliability isnt there either. Will be deleting this.

I like the concept of this app, but it really disappointed me. Yes, it drains the battery significantly, but there are ways around that. Yes, I can run some apps in the background, like Google Maps and Play Music, and it will still track miles. The glaring problem is how they "pay" you. They do not let you transfer money to your PayPal. Instead, they only let you redeem your points through limited offers that are either unattainable or undesirable. Seriously, who is going to get 250 referrals?

Have the app installed in both an android and iPhone. In the android, it wants me to for "do not disturb" when I open the app; I haven't allowed that setting; app doesn't track miles at all in that phone. In the iPhone, it tracks the miles, but only if I am not using waze. Great idea, poorly executed; what is the issue with using navigation apps while driving? Developers should have more refined way to determine "phone use". Will be closing account and uninstalling the app. Uses tons of battery.

It's free money for doing something you'd be doing anyway, but I really wish you could just cash out to Paypal, Venmo, etc or get a gift card. I have to admit, I don't really understand the marathon deals, but it would be great if users could just get straight cash or gift cards. Given the way the rewards system is run, it isn't really much incentive to not text and drive. Update 2/26/20, mileage not tracking but my referral's is. Other tracking apps are working great.

I downloaded this app on November 3rd, 2019. I earned over $7 in 3 days. It stopped working on November 6th. It hasn't tracked any miles whatsoever since the 6th. I have uninstalled, signed out, signed in, opened the app, and turned on the do not disturb. It still will not track my miles. I travel at least 30 miles a day. I'm so disappointed that I downloaded this app only for it to not work.

Good in the sense that it convinces people to stop texting and driving. So 2 stars for that. However, you better remember to refresh the app before you start rolling or you can drive for miles+ and not get credit. Also, their payout is very odd. You have to purchase items, then they give you that amount back ie...get cashback. Tested that with a $5 purchase. Week 2, cash to bank owed...STILL pending. Not instant in your bank like promised. Deleting app. Good blessings!

I thought it was a fantastic idea and had seen a friend post about it, so I tried it out. It worked great at first, but really drained my battery. Then, after I had earned some money quickly, with over an hour drive, it stopped giving me credit for my miles. It keeps telling me my driver's license is expired, it supposedly expired in 1970, but I wasn't even born then. It actually expires in 2021. It worked fine at first. Now I'm getting annoyed, probably going to uninstall.

I'm not getting credit for my any of my referrals' miles, and for the first few days, it was hit or miss if I even got credit for my own. The FAQs simply sends and email saying to download the update, which would be ok if there were one, but since I signed up after the most recent one, that pat answer doesn't apply. They also need to hurry up with more/more relevant offers. If they can work out the bugs it would be worth it. I'm gonna hang on for a bit longer to see what comes of it.

The idea behind this app is great. I haven't had a problem with it tracking my miles and the battery drain is high. There's where this falls apart. You literally can't do anything with the rewarded. IT DOES NOT PAY YOU REAL MONEY. you get onmyway cash. Which you can only use to purchase extremely limited gift cards. If this app payed ACTUAL 5 cents per mile, even 1 cent per mile it might be worth it. As it stands it isn't.

In theory this app is great. But actuality caused my phone many issues. Moto z2 You give it permission to change settings as it knows when you are driving. What happens when you're not driving & it still doesn't recognize it. Basically you are locked out of your phone. So i uninstalled the app. But the settings for my other apps were still messed up. Location for some were turned off. I lost 4 days on my Google maps timeline too. This Needs work on precision.

The concept is fine, but it's too restrictive and pays nothing. You "earn" about $.05 per mile, but that's in omw money which you then can save to buy one if their offers. The ones that can actually pay you are long gone, and the others are virtually unobtainable. To earn $250 in real money you have to get 250 people to sign up. Top earn the next level, $500, you'd need to drive 100,000 miles. It also requires your phone screen to be locked off while you drive which eliminates using GPS apps.

Love the idea of this app, and saw the suggestion of smaller cash out options which would be great. The HUGE disappointment is that yesterday I drove about 230 miles for work, and it killed my battery before I got back into cell service so I only got credit for the 44 miles I drove early in the day before my cell service ran out. I'm driving in and out of service all the time, so it's really not the best functioning app if its killing battery AND only counting your "in service" time before dead.

It says Bluetooth and audio books are trackable, yet it keeps skipping most of my drives when using Kindle with audio. I'm not touching the phone at all while moving. I have ran through all the trouble shooting articles. Nothing seems to work. Every on in awhile it will track one of my book drives, but most are skipped. Def not giving up that me time so I guess it's useless. 😑. Sucky since just work alone is 50 miles a day🙄

For the past few months this app has been a real pain in my butt, I have to uninstall the app to get it to work and then it only works for one trip and it quit working again.... I've lost miles because your app want work please update the app. 03/16/25 if anyone lives in Jacksonville Florida you know how far the beach is from the north side, today and for the past few weeks I make that trip 5 days a week and the trip meter on this app only paid $0.72 round trip.60 miles and that's what I get...
