    The company received a further £5.1m investment in March 2023 from a group of investors including the Dragons that invested here (plus Tej who came aboard). Company is now valued around £30m.

      Very true but they also have a high uninstall rate from the lack of reward availability. Most reviews point this out, needing to compete in auctions for 5 pound gift cards is not a winning strategy.

      @@wthwasthat8884 You do not know that they have a high uninstall rate because you have seen some negative reviews, that is an unfounded leap. Every company has their share of negative reviews online, even the biggest brands, it doesn't mean that their business strategy is wrong. Infact, a very recent £5m investment says the opposite.

      It doesn't even give you that, you're not getting cash in hand. You're getting vouchers which btw are on a limit. So say you want Amazon vouchers but if they've run out of those, then you can only claim perhaps John Lewis vouchers. And if you never shop there within the deadline, that's your loss.

      1. Many apps and plugins (often free of charge) exist that do precisely that, and even more in some instances.
      2. There will always be some degree of online surveillance no matter what we do. If you hypothetically can be a completely anonymous online user, then you will effectively lose all functionality that the website is designed to provide. So it's always something for something, it's not like you're gonna get something extra and lose nothing in the process.
      3. The vision that this guy sold has nothing to do with his product, because his product doesn't and cannot provide that. What he essentially sold drug-ons was not just a dream... It was his wet dream of gigantic proportions!
