## Review summary

The reviews point to frequent, multi-user problems with GCX: major login/onboarding and authentication issues; cart and purchase failures often tied to VPN/proxy detections; wallet/gift-card management problems (cards disappearing or not delivered); poor or hard-to-reach customer support; and concerns about new platform fees. Pros are scarce but include some gift-card liquidation options and occasional savings signals, with a few users reporting brief positive experiences. Overall sentiment is strongly negative due to the recurring functional and support problems.

### Pros

- Gift card liquidation/selling feature remains available and usable (positive note in at least one review).
- Some users perceive ongoing savings or discounts when using the app (positive sentiment in at least one review).
- A user mentions the app helped them get their cards going in a positive light (limited but positive feedback).

### Cons

- Persistent login/authentication and onboarding problems (cannot login/logout, onboarding verification, SMS verification issues).
- Inability to add items to cart or complete purchases; orders being canceled often, with VPN/proxy blocking errors reported by the app.
- Wallet and gift-card management failures (cards disappearing from wallet, not delivered, or not showing up).
- Poor or inaccessible customer support (difficult to contact, unhelpful responses, broken support channels).
- Introduction of platform fees and related financial/friction concerns (platform fee for buyers).
