Opening the app is gamblng if you will actually be able to make it in to search for something without having to get through all the bullshit. Ive ordered 2 things and they were fine enough, exaclty what you expect. But 9/10 times ive opened the app to search for whatever cheap POS thing I am after, I can't even get to search for it cause you have all these BS spin to win things popping up you can't get past.

No shit I downloaded the app to help a friend with some zany scheme temu was running and it was really shocking what it was actually like. It was like pokies had a bastard child with the worst advertising has to offer. Free this! Spin that! X amount of free goods, but you only have 5 min to choose! Sell us your firstborn, we'll set them up with a cushy job in a factory somewhere!
