I’m glad this app shut down this year because they took money from me. Charges were unauthorized. I deleted the app in 2024 and just found out it was shut down in April of 2026. They closed it due to the inability to sustain it. Thieves.

Really happy with my donation since I'm confident many new trees got planted because of my donation

Scam app. I finally got 25k points to get a pair of shoes. Which mind you took me three years to save up for it. But just before I reached the amount of points needed, they lowered the price of the voucher so the shoes were no longer free. Bad app!!

Great idea, unsatisfied outcome. Treecard feels useful, but I’m always skeptical about apps like these. I treated this as the “play for real money games” I think the app is just there so people can feel good about themselves and act like they can make a difference. And they probably could if there was more work out into it. There are many bugs that come up daily. My account got lost around a year ago and I had to restart. I was pissed but I eventually got back to my old progress. There was little to no help when I tried to get my account back. Also, when you order things, it’s very hard to track or get information on the package. I have ordered two things from Treecard and they arrived but I constantly thought I got scammed. Many other people didn’t have good outcomes with ordering packages either. The idea of planting trees in the world is great and is probably the reason I haven’t deleted the app yet but I’m not too sure I am making that much of a difference. Still a great idea, but unsustainable as of right now.

This is such a rip off!! I was scammed and now I can’t get a hold of anyone to get my money back for trees I did not order ! They ripped me off more than $500!

I’ve quite liked my experience so far. I do like to hike and the numbers don’t match, but I don’t mind because at least it’s something? Feels cool to be able to walk to plant trees. Love that. I purchased a plant once and it came and it’s a cute little succ that’s been thriving. Bad star reviews can kill a start up business! Come on guys!

Up until a week ago, treecard was only counting about 50% of my steps each day; they just decreased to only counting around 30% of my steps each day. I had submitted a bug report to them about this last year, and they replied months later acknowledging that they only count a small percent of users' steps and saying "there's no current fix" for that error. They work hard to make you think that each virtual tree you earn (one per 10k steps) is an actual tree planted, and bury the info that you have to earn multiple virtual trees to plant just one real tree. Overall, treecard feels very much like a scam and I'm glad I didn't sign up for their card at all, just tested their steps counting/tree planting. I'd caution against using their refurbished tech program given how many folks say they got actually scammed out of their items/reward points/money.

I’m not sure they even do what they say they’re doing. But I needed to cancel because I can’t afford it anymore. I am an avid hiker and my numbers do not match how many steps I have actually taken. So that was disappointing to see. Anyway, I go to close my account and then the entire app freezes. I close it down and try again and the app opens to a white screen. I try to contact them any way I can find and have no success. Then I contact my bank but they can’t help bc it’s an ACH withdrawal and not a debit card withdrawal so the only way I can cancel is buy getting a hold of them, which I’ve been unable to do. It’s frustrating. Then I finally got the app open and signed back in and it’s like I started all over from scratch. So I can’t tell if my account was closed or not. I never got an email saying it was. So nothing makes sense. I can’t even “cash” in on the steps I made because the app wiped all my info.
