Checkpoints for iphone scam.

Hello can everyone download the free app check points? It says when you scan items you get points to buy things like apple tv or an amazon gift card. But on almost every app review page it says download checkpoint, get free things! Use this special code to get more points!!!! I can not reed any app review without seeing that and there alot of other nonsense that they also post to the review. Please apple, do something!!!!!! Somebody comment please!

I just read the Checkpoints app description and terms of service. Seems like the company is against users spamming the app store and false advertising.

I just installed it myself and gave it a try, I can see why people are spreading their referral code everywhere. I'm sure it's not their fault people are deciding to do this, Apple allows people to delete their comments and repost.

Are there other apps like this? I just redeemed for a $1 amazon gift card and I got it instantly. Seems like quite a few points to get the bigger prizes though

He's saying the app store is full of reviews for other applications that actually contain spam for the Checkpoints app.

Eg, in a review for the Path app: "(two stars) Great app! But do you like free stuff? You need to go get this app: Checkpoints and use code bebbemammah to get free stuff!"

This is REALLY annoying for developers, because these spammers will just add a random number of stars and totally mess up your rating for no good reason.
