The app works or it doesn't. Rakuten in general is great, especially with the desktop add-on. The app only works correctly sometimes. I've reinstalled and cleared cache and it still only partly works. Sometimes I can't get into any profile/account info. Sometimes the biometrics don't work. Currently I can't see any history, it shows my last trip was 2023 (which is not true.)

Thank you for this feedback. The biometrics function is a feature of your phone. Once activated, our app may take advantage of it to verify your identity when accessing certain parts of our app. You can find a complete list of all Shopping Trips under the My Account (the person icon) section. For more help, email us at socialhelp@rakuten.com.

Lag so bad you can't make a purchase.Initially, the ap was great, and I loved the concept. over the years, I noticed at the check screen it would take a while to load, or you have to refresh the screen multiple times, and the payment was finalized. now it constantly loads no matter what payment option you choose. It's so bad I uninstalled the app.

We're sorry to hear you've had this experience with our app. Most issues can be resolved by making sure your device is up to date, uninstalling and reinstalling our app, closing opened apps running in the background (to free up memory), and restarting the phone. If these issues continue, please email us at socialhelp@rakuten.com so we can help.

Great idea, terrible execution. Possibly deceptive trade practices. I'll add to the chorus that even purchasing through the app often doesn't give any cash back, and I need to say I'm missing cash back for obviously eligible purchases. I hope regulators look into this behavior. Rakuten is collecting a lot of our data in return for cash back, but they're not holding up their end. They're also motivating people to make purchases for cash back, then don't give it to you
