Awesome program, insanely loyal.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: - Actually helped me so much and it's really easy to use and setup.- Helped me manage the insane amount of logins and passwords.

Pros:

This is a fantastic way to accumulate and keep points at nearby stores. Nowadays, having to register for everything and remember 100 different logins and passwords is extremely frustrating. Additionally, carrying around punchcards for loyalty schemes is very inconvenient. All of that is contained in this simple small software. I appreciate how it also brings back memories of places I had forgotten. I deem it to be great!

Cons:

Literally nothing to say, everything was great so far.
