Doesn’t work
Nobody posts anything to help
No list
No list last item added was over 3 months ago, want my money back
I Want My $3 Back
This app in my opinion is a scam. They charge you for an app that is not advanced. Before you buy the app it has pictures that show you what the app looks like. It’s not like that… don’t fall for it. Lots of blurry pictures. The beginners video makes the screen go black and you can’t see it at all. The haul photos have blurry pictures like I said and some are clear but there are no comments or descriptions like in the app preview. You can get lost. False advertisement for sure and it’s slow. Lastly if you want to contact them you are directed to Facebook where you will see a message that says page can not be found. Very upset….
Obsolete App
This app is obsolete. It contains all old information and no support! Don't waste your money.
Scammed
Scam
Not Recent
Waste of $2.99. Last penny list item was added 2 months ago!
DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!
This is a complete phony! Penny lists for dollar general (as shown in pictures) come out Tuesdays almost every single week. I didn’t even find one “list” on here only random items her and there and the MOST RECENT BEING FROM 3 MONTHS AGO! I reported this app and requested a refund immediately.
Such a bummer
I was so excited to pay only $2.99 for this and to hunt for the thrill of it, only to be HIGHLY disappointed to see that there hasn’t been any new postings in 3 months! I know it’s only $3 but still, we’re here for penny finds … that could have been a lot of small victorious treasures…
Do better App Store do better… hesitant to purchase new apps at the moment 😒

Don’t pay for app
The app is not up dated, it does not find Penny finds and the Penny List has not been added in 3 years.
Should be removed to avoid further purchases BROKEN
Worked great when I got it but now it’s like the developers and whoever runs this abandoned ship but are still taking peoples money that buy it. It doesn’t and hasn’t worked in years. I think it should be removed so other people don’t purchase something that doesn’t work! Gas is 3.28 here. Buying this app is almost the same as 1 gal of gas-save your money for the car instead!
Outdated
Besides three posts, all from four years ago
Don’t waste your money!
Downloaded the app and it froze before I could even set it up. It doesn’t look like the company has updated the app in a couple years! Please don’t waste your $3.00!!!
No longer Working -DONT BUY
app is no supported. Hasn’t loaded for anyone in over a year! Scam!!
GramZ
The first time i tried to use the app it just froze up. I can’t get it to do anything!!
Locked screen
I just purchased the penny list app and iits locked on haul list and won’t move
Not usable - freeze frame constantly - disappointment
I recently purchased the app and the purchase was far easier than the viewing of any items, Hauls, updates or even what features and options are available to use are not visible because of it’s NO load!
It’s not worth the purchase price. The reviews although I read them before I purchased; are true. This is NOT a user friendly app. Don’t waste your time to purchase. I have seen more loading and the same pic in a freeze frame mode than by far any real use of trying it for myself. WoW, bummer and such a loss of money! I really wanted to know what value the app adds. I will just have to imagine through all of those that found $2.99 purchase price and beyond possible. The best to all of you in your shopping and I hope this helps you avoid the mistake I made in the purchase.

Waste of Money
From the time I have purchased this app to current it has never worked I have uninstalled reinstalled it it freezes does not allow me to click on anything I was really excited about getting to use this and so far it seems to be a complete waste of my time and obviously a complete waste of money! I’ve attempted to contact support regarding it and I can’t even do that!
Problems
I paid to download this app on my 12 pro max, and when I open the app it’s just a frozen screen! I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and it’s still doing the same! I reached out to customer service, I will update this review if they get back to me with a salutation or give me a refund!
Horrible app
Downloaded this app and I get nothing. Screen pulls up when app opens but you cannot move anything. Screen is frozen. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not fix the issue. Don’t recommend this app!!!

App will not work
This app used to work
I had this app a year or 2 ago & although i never found any of the items in the store the app did work as described so i just re-downloaded it but it doesn’t work at all. Opens to a frozen screen. I forgot that i paid money for this app back when i first got it cause it doesn’t show me that now, but if you haven’t paid for it yet, id wait till the most recent reviews say that it works bc its a total waste of money at the moment….
No stars
