PayPal Honey: Coupons, Rewards 4+

Great App, Good Deals

Honey is a great tool for trying to find savings on just about anything pertaining to online shopping. Browser version is extremely easy to utilize and usually helps to save a couple bucks here and there. Only gripe is that there could be better app accessibility. Honey unfortunately can’t be used properly on the phone even with the app. While this isn’t a big issue at all it would help for accessibility in streamlining the app as a lot of online shopping is mobile based. Overall though Honey in itself is absolutely amazing and has helped me save a good amount of money in my orders.

Not reliable but works

If you are using this app to religiously make cash back; it isn’t worth your time. However, I use it for occasional cash back as a nice perk and cash out immediately after the balance hits the account to eliminate having to track if they are staying accountable with them. There are a lot of items that can’t be droplisted (frustrating); which is another thing I frequently do with this app to save money. Yes, the reviews are right, the coupons provided hardly ever work. I like the app because it is a great reminder there are other coupons out there and I can usually find it for cheaper. I like to use it to compare the prices at stores as well as see current price trends. I am not a “buy immediately” kind of person so being able to watch and track when I need to ask for a price adjustment is nice. Overall, not a very helpful app and you will not make a lot of money off it. The nicety of it comes from the savings you get by waiting for the price to drop or finding other coupons.

Honey made iOS 15 Safari CRAWL!

I installed the new iOS 15 on my iPhone (12 Pro Max 512gb) and installed Honey, as I enjoy using it on my computers. Later, when actually using Safari, I noted that there was a multi-second delay before loading a site, link, or reloading a site. Also, when I tried to swipe to scroll, it would mostly just not respond, or would sometimes start responding after 2-3 seconds. This happens on every screen of every web site. I initially tried closing Safari and reloading, resetting the phone, etc. nothing made a difference. I later remembered that I had attached Honey, and disabled it. The problem was instantly solved. Disabling Honey fixed the problem, so I began to look for correctable issues with Honey. There was an update (2.2.2) in the App Store that reported that it improved performance in iOS Safari. Perfect! Sounded like what I needed. However, after installing the update and closing/reloading Safari, the old crippling problem was back. I turned Honey off again, and performance again became crisp. I’m sure this is a bug that they can address, but for now, using Honey cripples my iPhone. I hope it will get fixed soon.
