Users report that while the Vacation Sidekick app offers some discounts and potential savings, it suffers from significant issues: intrusive location permissions, frequent connection and login problems, lack of redeemable discount codes, outdated vendor information, and functional bugs.

Overall, the app is considered unreliable and frustrating despite intentions to provide value to timeshare owners.
