Samsung Global Goals

I love samsungs global goals! This app is phenomenal!! It let's me do something good for the world, just by watching ads and reading short articles concerning people and planet. I get to learn about the work that's going on in the communities most directly affected by these issues, and in turn, I accumulate donations to donate to the cause of my choice. What's truly remarkable about this app is that samsung matches these donations and gives me even more incentive to fundraise for these causes!

I didn't even know I had this app I just accidentally clicked on it but now I know I use this all the time. Whenever I'm just leaving my phone on I put this on and it will collect money then I can donate. I think it is a really good idea using ads for good. If you usually leave your phone on while doing something else and want to help make a difference I think you should get this. All you do is watch ads and they give you money that you can donate to whatever cause you want.

The application itself is very easy to use and quite visually appealing. This nakes it even a pleasant experience watching the ads cause they just blend into everything. Great design and excellent user experience. I suggest that there should be an in app transparency portal on which figures of possibly yearly contributions to UNDP are posted. That makes the action of voluntarily watching an ad to support a good cause translate to reality even more easily in the eyes of the user.

That's a great way to save a small amount of donations worldwide in a reasonable, controllable fund organization, but there are still missing user-friendly descriptions on UI. Details, which are pointing out to dangers and awareness, need to be shown like easier icons -in example given, one should click those icons to be ready to view charitable content and save the fund not like topics or boring header flows. This application and "start-up" looking step serviced to everyone with different lang

Love the idea behind this but they rarely update any articles in the app. Should be something happening constantly. I actually like learning about this stuff so it seems like a waste to read elsewhere. Also, you earn very little ($.01 per ad/article/video) making it less rewarding. Maybe if Samsung had partners, they could contribute more w/o breaking their billions. Feature to earn while ads flash on your phone when it's charging does not work. I selected to have the app work over other apps.

I love how this app is suited for people who are passionate about making a difference in a creative way (via ads, charging your phone, etc.) This is really the best because as a younger person, I don't have access to money like an older adult would so being able to earn cash by these means to donate to specific causes is very special and just a wonderful idea. The app overall is easy to operate, very updated, informative, and just very neat overall. It really inspires me as an individual. :)

This app was amazing a few months ago. I used to be able to just sit and click on as many ads as I had time and then when I went into my phone and it didn't take long for me to get a dollar or two and donate. It was even better when you guys started matching the donation. Then something happened where no matter how many ads I clicked on I rarely earned anything more than a cent or two for clicking ads, unlocking the lockscreen, and then charging it. It's been months and I have only 11 cents!

Ads don't show up and when I try to watch the few that have a watch button, I get a little pop up that says ads are unavailable. I've uninstalled hoping that would fix the issue and it didn't, I also have it set to earn while charging, but that stopped a while ago. I love the idea of this app and would love to be able to earn more money to donate to these causes, please fix these issues!

It's like the virtual equivalent of finding change in your pocket and putting it towards a good cause. I like that I don't *have* to donate using my own funds since they're usually tight (and there's an option to which is also great!) but I can still feel like I'm helping and making a difference by taking a little time to watch an ad and get a few cents (you get a nickel per ad basically)

I love the concept and I think its amazing that Samsung is matching all donations but the app does not function properly for me and after reading a lot of these reviews it seems that others are having the same issue. Initially it worked great but after earning a little over $1 I stopped earning money from the ads and then they just stopped showing up all together! I've also never earned money while charging even though I have it enabled. This ap has so much potential if they can fix these bugs!

It worked pretty well at first. Unfortunately with most phones you can't just keep it up all night as it charges, because the screen will shut off after a certain time so it became a bit discouraging to have to keep monitoring my phone anyway. As of about a month ago I stopped getting ads all together (so I have earned nothing) I love the concept and would love to continue, but I would also like to see some of these things fixed Maybe a setting that will override the phones "auto-shutoff" ?

I have no quarms with this app. It gives you the tools to be as helpful as you wish; also if you don't like notifications those can be turned off. Simple and effective UI imo. Thanks for giving some a route of opportunity to help in some capacity. I've been saying for years, probably as long as who ever created this initiative, we could use today's tech and Ads to combat some under funded causes. Wonderfully done!!

Overall a good app & a nice easy way to do something for a good cause. However I do have two complaints. The first is that you can choose to donate to specific causes (ie. Gender equality, poverty, hunger) but there isn't any transparency about exactly which organizations are recieving that money. The other is that, even with the lock screen ads on, I've only ever had my money total increase when viewing ads inside the app itself.

This app was great months and months ago but recently I stopped earning via watching ads. This happens when I click on "watch" and I get "ads unavailable, try again later." I attempted to unistall and reinstall hoping the problem fixes itself but the problem continued. This app has a great concept of donations even if you aren't working, you can earn on the go. But for now im uninstalling the app until their is an update fix. Not to mention, the "earn while charging" feature doesn't work.

Samsung! Please fix this app! I've tried deleting re-downloading four times. It still doesn't work properly! I would have rated this app 5 stars in the first few months I was using it. An awesome option for in-between moments instead of wasting time on other apps. On this one, you can actually donate to send amazing causes. But in the last couple weeks it's not giving me money for watching ads and videos. And when I did get money, there's an error message when I try to donate.

Overall happy with my experience so far. I've noticed many of the ads are for mobile games, (gambling ones at that) that tend to be a bit overwhelming on the screen and the X to finish and exit those ads do not seems as readily available as others. Could we get ads tailored towards eco friendly, sustainable products that are legitimate in the producer's practices as they align with the ideals of creating a better more sustainable world as a whole. Need more educational material available.

When I was using the app last year, it worked great. It allowed me to watch videos, earn money, & have matched donations. Now the ad section just cycles & when you are able to click on an ad, it says ad unavailable & try back later. Doesn't matter the time of day, it continues to say this. Also, I signed up for when charging & that's not working. Not to mention, even when entering the app, it takes forever to give you the 1-2 cents for opening the app. I like the app initially, not so much now!
