User Reviews for Influenster: Reviews & Deals

App needs a lot of work but the product is good

I like Influenster a lot. I have received three Vox Boxes in the last two years with minimal contribution on my part, and supposedly we “middle aged” ladies don’t get love from Influenster. Not true. You just need to fill out your questionnaires and do your snaps here and there, as well as consistently use it for what it was meant: looking up reviews on prospective products. However, the app is super glitchy and irritating. If you want to scroll your feed for entertainment purposes or to get some ideas about products, forget it, you can only see the same 3 or 4 posts over and over again for at least half a day. Also, part of how you get chosen for campaigns is your activity on the app, unfortunately, it constantly looses track of your activity. You can be on it for four days straight, looking up products or leaving reviews, but on the fifth day, it says you’re on a one-day streak. It’s petty, but extremely irritating, and defeats part of the purpose of engaging the app. I was hoping the update today would change this. If these could be fixed, the app would get all the stars from me.

Influenster is great but I can’t give them 5 stars and here is why

Influenster is a great app to use to get free products in exchange for your reviews. The only thing that stops me from giving it 5 Stars is they will give tons of stuff to one person that doesn’t put in the work but has tons of friends. I have 6000 friends and I’ve only received 1 vbox in 2 years. In I just recently received the box after contacting them about it. I have almost 400 reviews, 90 discussion, 120 followers just on Influenster and I am not getting items like I should. They claim also Jason items out based on your area you live in your demographic but I live in one of the most largest cities in the United States so that also makes no sense why I’ve only received one Vbox. They should not be giving one person box after box after box when that person isn’t putting in the work and they definitely should be giving boxes to people that actually help boost their business do the reviews correctly and they’re always on the app! Influenster needs to stop playing favorites and make it equal for everyone else!

It's okay...

This app is ok. Here is my thoughts on why my star rating is where it is... I thought at first it was a great idea but being on this app for a year now, I have seen that if you don't fit into their mold you barely get anything. Never once have I gotten a random surprise voxbox, I have had 4 voxboxes. Those 4 boxes included something that you might not expect. Also a half empty sample bottle of perfume. It has become very tiresome full out their snaps or review and surveys when you don't get anything from them. I was told by customer service that membership doesn't guarantee any boxes. Well duh everyone can figure that out, but to see in the group and people I interact with getting multiple boxes in one month is really not fair to anybody. Just this last week I have seen 5 people say they were getting 5 boxes... now how are they doing it when I am doing the same stuff... this company is truly bias on categorizing age groups... excuse me... 30/40 people like stuff just as much as the 20 something people like. It is said that Influenster is one of the top companies in this sampling community, but seriously they need to correction the problems they have categorizing people in groups and sending the same people multiple boxes every month and give them to others.

LOVE what this app is about BUT don’t like the app itself.

Just like my title says, what this app is about is SO cool and really helps you out when you want to know what other people think about a product! But the app itself is not great.It takes so long for certain parts to load, even when you have full service AND wifi. When I’m doing a review and go to a different application real quick and then go back my review is gone and I have to start all over. My impacts don’t ever load completely so I hardly know if it’s accurate. When I’m scrolling through my feed it’ll start showing the posts I was just seeing. It’s not like an ongoing feed, I can’t just sit and scroll and see new things like instagram. It’ll just show me things I just saw. Also it would be great if we could suggest products that aren’t listed in what the app gives us. I have a handful of things I own that I want to review, but there aren’t any products listed.I say all those things because it’s what I see every time I’m on the app BUT I LOVE what it’s all about. It’s an asking concept and I think it would be even better if some things were enhanced/changed!

Awesome app

I don’t really write reviews, but I felt I needed to after receiving my third beauty Voxbox :). Seriously, this app is awesome. I love the idea; it’s really quite a genius way to get users interested in brands and review products. I’ve been a part of both campaigns and Voxboxes and have loved being able to get cash back and free beauty products in exchange for my honest reviews. I love using the app to research the products I want to buy as well. It is important to mention that some users who receive free stuff tend to review higher than the product is actually deserving of, which isn’t the app’s fault, but it’s good to watch out for when reading reviews.There are quite a few complaints online about people being on the app for years and never getting a Voxbox. There seems to be a specific type of user they target when sending out products, and I am one of the lucky ones they like. This app is definitely not a scam; I can testify to that (I’ve received over $100 in free stuff so far). It can be kind of hard for some people to get chosen though, no matter how much you review. This app is worth a download to try your luck! And you can always look up tips to get better chances to be chosen for a Voxbox. Writing long reviews and uploading pictures is always helpful :)

Amazing concept but hard-to-use app!

I love Influenster and use it often to scope out beauty and wellness products. That being said the app frustrates me. I can’t find half of the products I want to read about or review with the search option, even from well-known international brands. When I do find the product I am searching for, the page never matches the shade/size/type/etc. of the product in question. The description pictures are often grainy and from an old website despite the availability of several high quality user-pictures and an upvote system in place for those. Maybe make the most liked picture the first shown? It also bothers me that there are so many listings for the same product. I wish all the reviews for a product were in one place instead of being catalogued under different packaging types or shades. I also wish there was an ability to create a page for an unrepresented product to improve the database of products available for review and sharing in the community. I also love the favorites section, but I wish there was an additional list option for “want to try” so I can keep track of new products of interest. I’ll keep using the app, but I hope the kinks are worked out and the interface improves.

App ruined on IOS

I’ve had the app for over a year now and in the past few months it just seems to have given out. I personally didn’t realize there was an updated BETA app until a few weeks ago and since I updated the app it’s just been completely out of whack. It doesn’t let me post, ask questions, create polls, review anything without scanning a barcode or finding it in the listed products they have (literally half of most reviews aren’t listed on Influenster & it’s stopped me from posting!) I used to have high engagement, recurring campaigns and obviously enjoyed it. I can’t really say the same anymore, they used to be super responsive and had great customer service but now they ignore most requests and apparently don’t fix the pointed out bugs/issues when they update it anymore. I’m disappointed at the fact that I can no longer participate in surveys (that literally stand in the way of receiving voxboxes) and my campaigns have been disappearing as well as the last few I’ve been approved for haven’t actually been shipped to me. The last time they responded to a CS request was one of the boxes I reported missing and they said they can’t offer tracking or be held accountable for missing packages. If you’ve had the app for a while now you know they attempted to provide tracking info. and usually it didn’t come through or was incorrect, now they don’t offer it at all on IOS. I don’t understand why they downgraded the app? But okay.

Love the app, but takes forever to download pages, and crashes.

I love this app so much! I have benefited a lot from it, from receiving VoxBox’s too being able to come to the app to get different peoples opinion of a certain product. I love the scan feature as well. While shopping I can pull up the app, scan the product, and it takes me right to the page where all of the reviews are, SO helpful! I also enjoy reading the different articles that Influenster posts. I use this app probably every single day! My only issue is that it takes FOREVER to load certain pages. When clicking on a article or a product, it will load for a good 20 seconds or the app will just completely crash. I’ve made sure to do all the updates and even deleted the app and reinstalled it, and it remained the same. Which will sometimes result in me closing the app and looking elsewhere on the internet for what I need, which is frustrating. Hopefully they can get it resolved. Other than that, this is a wonderful tool if you’re into trying different beauty products, or even household, food, clothing; they have reviews for almost everything you could think of!

I LOVE THIS APP

For people who “hate” on influenster, you’re not using the app correctly. The more time you put into the app the more things you will be sent. Don’t hate on an app that sends you things for free, all they want from you is an honest review and opinion, if you are lazy with your reviews then don’t expect frequent boxes as the best reviewers get the boxes. It’s also important to visit the app frequently and take part in their hashtags. I love influenster, at first they sent me a pro activ set which didn’t really suit my skin but I was still super grateful as I had always wanted to try pro activ and this app allowed me to do that for free. I have recently received my second box which is a shampoo and conditioner set. They’re actually worth $77 on Sephora and so I was sooo grateful when they sent this to me. The set has really helped my hair as it is made for itchy scalps for which I am a sufferer. I will always use and love influenster and I always recommend this app to all my friends as well as my social media following!

Disappointed

I’ve been using Influenster for a couple years now. I’ve gotten many good boxes/products from them. Last December (2020 before Christmas, during the pandemic), I did my first Cashback challenge. You have to purchase the items and provide screenshots of your receipt, so I did exactly that. I purchased three pet products, submitted my receipts, and was told to wait two weeks for my money to be returned. After that two weeks, I received my money back for one item. I contacted them to see why I hadn’t gotten the rest of the money, and they told me I’d just have to wait again. That was fine. I had to email them nonstop to finally receive my second payout TWO MONTHS LATER. Again, whatever, at least I got that money. I’ve been fighting with them for six months now (they simply ignored me for two out of six months) because I haven’t received the third payout. I spent over $100 on this product because they GUARANTEED I’d be given the money back. To this day, they continue to tell me to wait two weeks. I wait, I do not receive the money, and I email them again. It’s been this never ending cycle for six whole months. I’m just disappointed because I thought they were an amazing company. I don’t enjoy being the annoying person emailing every other day, but it’s just awful that they’re not trustworthy anymore. I will never do another Cashback challenge from them.
