Description
Gener8 turns your online data into real-world rewards: from gift cards and gadgets to exclusive offers and charity donations! It’s like frequent flyer miles for the internet.
Currently, Gener8 rewards are focused on users in the United Kingdom. In other countries, you can still use the app to check what data Google stores on you, exchange your data for Gener8 points, and spend them on charity donations.
It’s time YOU get rewarded for YOUR data.
Gener8 is backed by 3 Dragons from the BBC’s Dragons’ Den. More than 750,000 people already use Gener8 on desktop & mobile!
Everyone’s making money from your data. Except you. Gener8 changes this.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Connect apps to Gener8
- See the data they hold on you in a cool & fun way
- Anonymise your data and earn points from it
- Spend your points on: gift cards, gadgets, exclusive offers, charity donations & more. New rewards every week!
WHY WE DO IT:
At Gener8 we believe that you should be able to control your own data.
Right now your data is being hoovered up by companies that you’ve never even heard of. It feels like everyone is making money from your data. Except you.
Gener8 changes that. We put you back in control.
Gener8 shows you what information other apps hold on you. We visualise this in a beautiful and easy to understand manner and then we empower you to exchange your anonymised data from these companies for Gener8 rewards - should you choose to.
No data leaves your device or passes through any of our systems without your explicit consent. All insights are generated on your device and data is only shared with us if you choose to. All data is anonymised, so your personal information is never shared with anyone.
Watch the space. We’re constantly improving the app!

Ratings and Reviews
Trustworthy
Unless you have all the privacy and anti-tracking settings turned off, your information is already being used, so why not earn from it instead of just the browsers earning and not sharing with you?
I’ve been using the Windows version since it came out, and it has only improved.
Access and speed are exactly the same as Google and most other browsers, but Gener8 is very clear on what setting you are on (Rewards or Privacy), and it’s very straightforward to swap between the two, as well as set up the permissions of what is shared.
I have now downloaded the [iOS] app, and I would imagine it will be just as straightforward and secure as the Windows version. We’ll see what comes through in terms of spamming and adverts, but I believe it will continue to be a good experience.

Thanks for the 5-star review! 🤩 It sounds like you're one of our early adopters, with us from the start ✊ We love that you're enjoying the new Gener8 App... any feature requests, you know where we are 📧 support@gener8ads.com.
Good concept, flawed execution
The idea is sound: get some value from your data rather than letting all the benefits go to retailers and advertisers.
Unfortunately, Gener8 doesn’t really live up to this promise. In return for handing over your data to them, what you mostly get is a bunch of promotional offers/trials for products and subscription services (“first month free”, “50% off your first month” etc.) that you could get many other ways, often just by Googling. The few actual tangible rewards, such as gift cards, are issued in such limited quantities and at specific times of the week that very unlikely to be able to get them unless you’re on the app on the dot when they’re released, and you get lucky. The one that made me realise it really wasn’t worth it was a £10 Xbox gift card, being released later in the week. The quantity available…? Two. Yes, just two.
I’ll consider returning if they can come up with rewards actually worth my time and information. Until then, sorry Gener8 - you’re not offering enough to keep me.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your detailed thoughts 💭. We’re glad you see the value in Gener8 but are sorry to hear the rewards haven’t hit the mark for you. We know gift cards are a popular choice, and we’re working hard to increase both the variety and quantity available. We also offer a range of unique rewards, and we’ll keep expanding our selection to better fit what you’re looking for 🙌. Your feedback is super helpful for shaping these improvements—thanks for giving us a shot, and we hope you’ll consider returning as we continue to evolve! 🚀
Great app, rewards need tweaking.
Honestly pleasantly surprised by this app! A co worker of mine was telling me about how he had recently downloaded the app. Explaining how the rewards worked, what information is used and for what reason… obviously the small part of my brain, that is reserved for hesitation kicked in. After a few weeks my co worker and I was discussing it again and he then began to show me how he had earned rewards etc.
Then I decided to have a look myself, read reviews, personal and professional. Looked into how the information is stored and processed. And I was shocked when I discovered just how other websites where using all my information to profit. So, why shouldn’t I get my share of it too?
Admittedly, the rewards aren’t going to blow your socks off, but some have actually come in pretty handy. And the cost of the rewards is minuscule to what I had expected. My only complaint would have to be the gift card options. There are only a set amount available, so the chances of getting the one you want is very slim.
You can also use your points to ‘bid’ on items, which I actually love.
Bottom line, just get this app! It literally looks after itself and you don’t have to do a single thing. Except to log in, see how many points you’ve earned. Through literally using your phone in no other way as you usually would!!!

Hey there 👋 Thanks so much for this review 😊 we love hearing your helpful feedback!
The gift cards are limited in supply and we're actively working on making this a better experience. We always add gift cards to Mystery Boxes so if you see them on Gener8 Rewards and redeem one (make sure you click 'See all rewards') you're guaranteed to get one 🙌.
Awesome to hear you're enjoying auctions! We've upped them in the recent months and they have proved popular... if there are any tech products you'd like to see up for auction let us know at support@gener8ads.com. We're always looking to change things up so any feedback is appreciated 👌.
