It also helps discover new restaurants and avoid card surcharges. However, multiple reviews mention frustration due to changes in how rewards are managed, complicated new payment UI, inability to manage multiple accounts, poor customer service especially regarding refunds and account access, and inconsistent restaurant participation causing lost or unusable credits. These issues affect user trust and convenience despite the app's rewarding concept. ### Pros - App provides good rewards and discounts when purchasing food, often 5-15% cashback or bonus credits. - Easy and fast payment process once users understand how to use the app. - Helps users discover new restaurants and cuisines through its map and location features. - No card surcharges when paying with Liven, which users appreciate. - UI is generally intuitive and the app has a good restaurant network in certain areas. ### Cons - Recent UI changes made the payment and rewards redemption process more complicated and confusing for users. - Rewards are no longer pooled in one account but locked to individual restaurants, causing confusion and multiple balances. - Issues with account management: users cannot create multiple accounts or recover forgotten details easily, limiting personal and work account separation. - Poor customer service and support with refund and account issues, causing frustration especially when restaurants withdraw from the platform but Care Packages are still sold. - Inconsistent participation of restaurants and restrictions on reward usage (like certain items or days), leading to disappointment and awkward payment situations. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Airlive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.alive.airlivehyd) — 746 users - [Livios](https://chrome-stats.com/d/at.helloagain.livios1) — 895 users - [Liven Mall Tenant](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.liven.tenantshoppingmall.app) — 301 users - [Livios](https://chrome-stats.com/d/at.helloagain.livios) — 1,122 users - [LIVO](https://chrome-stats.com/d/jp.livo.livo) — 17 users - [Livin by core](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.baum.loyalty.coreclub) — 11 users - [Liven Communities](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.liven) — 101 users - [LOKE Cafe AU](https://chrome-stats.com/d/global.loke.cafe.au) — 279 users - [Chicle](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.alejoquasar.livit) — 2,471 users - [The Downunder Bar](https://chrome-stats.com/d/au.com.thedownunderbar) — 601 users - [LetsGo: Cashback & Discovery](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.olsoncreations.letsgo) — 15 users - [LIVVY](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.livvyhotel) — 205 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/au.com.liven.android)
