## Review summary

SpotOn Android reviews are dominated by reliability and usability issues. The app is frequently buggy, with onboarding failures, password reset loops, and login errors. Birthdate entry is tedious, requiring endless scrolling instead of typing. Rewards and deals are often hard to redeem, staff struggle with it, and some users report QR and payment features not working. Several users express frustration with the user experience, navigation, and lack of dark mode. A few positives note deals and direct access to ordering and that it can be useful for some restaurants, but overall sentiment is highly negative.
