Joined the app in 2019 Joined the app in 2019. Mined coins off and on for the last few years. Had over 60 000 coins in my account ( which isn't that much, but also included the purchase of a geotag and a premium plan for a bit) Upon travelling and not using the app for 6 months they drained all the coins from my account. It is within their policy to take back any coins mined if the account is unactive for 6 months. This is theft and bad ethical practice. Horrible policy for a "crypto" asset as it deviates from one of the main purpose of crypto. Shame on you XYO i wont be back and will be letting the world know about your unethical policies.

Made $70,000 and climbing I can say definitively that everyone giving one star is absolutely clueless on how the app and exchanging actually works. One person is complaining about how the app is just gamified and the coding doesn’t work and there’s no value. They’re clueless no matter how much they think they breath coding. Google doesn’t give you free maps that used to cost hundreds to update because they don’t make money. In fact they bring in about $4.3 billion a year so they don’t understand the value of data. Another person is claiming they should have cashed out $140,000 but got way less… the app gives out $5 per 10,000 coin based on a rolling average on the last 7 days of the value of the XYO token. So no, you should not have gotten $140,000, you should have cashed out to XYO earlier. The lack of competence of these one stars hurts.

Don't listen to the complainers Very fun app, and I've made over $1200 using it. The people calling it a scam obviously don't understand how crypto exchange rates work. My one reservation: The company claims that we (the app users) are building out a location-network, which will be used by their eventual customers. But I have a suspicion that WE are the end-customers, shelling out $35/mo to their company. And the supposed location-network is just a pipe dream to keep us here. I have no evidence for that, and I've made money regardless, so it doesn't really matter to me. (FYI I am a truck driver.)

Fraudsters and Scammers I had been using their COIN app for more than two years. I once redeemed 10000 coins I had geomined for XYO that were roughly equal to 4 dollars. It took me more than a year so not worth it at all. Last month I bought their Pro subscription to check if it was worth it. For the first few days I was only able to geomine 2500 coins per day. But as I understood it more I was able to geomine 4000 coins per day by geomining more in my homebase as I don't drive a lot. On the 23rd day when I had geomined enough coins, if redeemed for XYO, that exactly equal to the cost of the Pro subscription they suspended my account all of a sudden. I contacted their support regarding this. After 4 days they replied that I was using invalid or expired subscription credentials (when my subscription was still valid), I was doing location spoofing (I don't even know what that is) and device emulation (I have been using their app only on my mobile phone) and I have been creating excessive accounts ( I had only account for more than 800 days) and trying their Pro subscription trial (when I had actually bought it). All the accusations stated in their reply were false and vague but still they stated their decision regarding suspension was final without giving me any proof of the above mentioned accusations. Now I can't even redeem the coins I have geomined. They are just scammers and looters and their apps are complete waste of time and money.

I’m a DevOps Engineer: XYO is a Scam Let me be clear: I made $2000 off this “project” but it is indeed a scam I have been following this since basically the beginning. I mined using an old phone off and on, and made what at the time would be about $50 worth. Within about 4 months the coin had gone way, way up and I immediately sold. It’s dipped back and forth since. My issue: I am a DevOps Engineer. I live and breathe Linux, technical documentation, application installation and code quite a lot. I COULD NOT implement a single thing one of their SDKs There’s a note on their website that still says “Next Release Q1 2020” Their GitHub is dead. 2 years since last release. I believe people like me would be the backbone of the network, we know the technical details and are capable of expanding it. But we aren’t the target, the target is gamifying the app, adding subscription services (that never pay off) and selling more and more ad space in the app. And perhaps the biggest issue: their Core Features were supposed to be based on Bluetooth LE, and having location authentication happen when two bluetooth devices handshake and log that to be later uploaded as a proof of contact. Yet They no longer sell Bluetooth sentinels, but NFC cards which cannot passively handshake with other devices. Worse still, not a single answer on how this changes the project, or what the new cards add to the “network” I believe the original “sentinels” were a failed Tile competitor, and they found a way to implement them into their game. In fact, when you got the old bluetooth sentinels you had to update them for it to work with the app. Then they sold out of them, so they found the cheapest thing (NFC Cards) and starter selling those for another ridiculous markup. This is all speculation, but pretty well supported speculation. XYO is a scam and not worth your time or money.
