Clawee Reviews

started playing this at the end of last year and loved it at first, until I bought extra coins and realized my card was charged 5 times instead of just once for the coins- contacted their support team immediately and they kept having different service people send me emails, then asked for a picture of my bank statement showing the charges. I sent a picture of it in November and by January I had heard nothing, so I reached out again and they claimed they never received the picture. I sent it again and they said they needed a screenshot of the actual bank statement, so I had to dig that up and then they said “all of your charges went through :)” which was confusing, until I realized they were basically telling me that because the sales went through, I couldn’t get a refund. The smiley face was strange and unnecessary for the context. I then responded and explained that yes, they went through, and that’s the problem. She then told me that she couldn’t refund me because “some of the coins had already been spent” and that instead she could just give me more coins to play this app with. I said that I just wanted a refund and I’d been trying to reach them for months, so I said I’d just call my card company about it. That’s when finally they emailed me and said “we have refunded you and banned you from this app.” I was not planning on returning to Clawee, and the unnecessary rudeness was unwarranted. Good riddance

Honestly? Not that great of a game. If you want to keep it free-to-play you have to ignore the introductory instructions and head to a coins machine and gamble to see if you can grab a higher prize of coins. I didn’t see this and spent my first coins up on two machines, only winning one. And from looking at other reviews, it seems you can’t really get more free coins once you spend them all. It’s garbage in my opinion but maybe if I had noticed the other machines first.
In addition, all of the developer’s replies are automated so don’t think “oh they reply a lot”, it’s replying to keywords in the review. Which is also garbage cause it’s not having the actual developers look into what is wrong, it’s just brushing off the criticism. Oh well, thought I had a chance to handle my arcade esk craving but it seems I don’t. Have fun with a junky game (:
Edit: from 2 star to 1 star
Thanks for the mocking reply of how I text and talk, really wish you hadn’t done that. Truly is a game that if you’re willing the fork the money I would say go ahead? But now I don’t really want to, if you’re going to interact with mocking and rude developers. Wouldn’t recommend, I’ve also seen people get mocked in-game and have their prizes knocked away from employees. It’s incredibly rude and unprofessional to mock the way someone texts, and to knock away or write rude messages on boards while someone is playing that game.

Overall, the game itself is okay. Not only do you only get 400 coins, which isn’t a lot considering you have to BUY more coin and each game or item you want to get is 200 coins. Think if it as an actual claw machine. Hard to operate, and is most likely a scam considering the claw itself never works. When you go to check out the thing you got, which you will get at least one because the first one you get is a tutorial, you have to pay with coins that you don’t have or get VIP which bother methods cost money! If you’re going to do this at least consider the fact the game is for 4 years old and older. What 4 year old is going to have money! What if they press a button and use their parents money because they don’t know the ways of the internet. Yes, maybe the parent should look at the games their toddler is downloading, but you also have to realize that in the game itself says “4+” which is directed for people that are 4 and up. Take into consideration reader, that you aren’t getting a good ratio from real money ($) to the in game currency. $10 is about 1,500 coins. That’s a complete rip off. I have seen so pretty bad games like this out there, but this has to be by far one of the worst. The concept is extremely cool, but I don’t like the idea of having to put my address into an app that you most likely will use once and that saves my data even after I delete it. I would just be careful if you’re planing to buy this game and not spend money

WARNING:
If you go into your profile on the game there is a circle you have to check off that requests that they don’t sell your information. It is not automatically checked off when you get Clawee or sign in with any account and you would have to find it and make sure it is checked on your own. I found this very discomforting and it had me signing out and deleting Clawee immediately.

my experience:
At first I was unsure how to feel about this game. In real life you do usually end up spending more money than you intend to on claw machines. At least it brought that realistic feel for me. I had tried to save up enough coins just from getting the bonus each day to get one prize and it would take forever. Not only do you have to get the coins to get the prize but also a lot more just to have a shipped to you. You would indefinitely have to pay but as far as I can tell you could always get more coins from the claw machines once you do and would be set. When I did play it, it wasn’t impossible to get prizes like real life claw machines and I was able to on my first try. I had only gotten one prize and was trying to save enough coins over time to get it delivered to see how good of quality it was before I spent money on anything. Before I ever got enough to get it delivered was when I saw what was included in my warning above and I deleted Clawee before I ever got my prize. So, I unfortunately can’t speak on the quality of the products.

Clawee seemed ok until I purchased VIP. They don’t tell you this before you give them your money the cost to play a game goes way up once you pay to become a VIP member. If prices rise every time I buy coins it defeats the whole purpose of buying anything since the difference will always be the same. People buy VIP and pay for coins to increase their ability to play more games. If these apps charge more for paying customers that is wrong and unfair! As a free user you can check your daily bonus and skip days and still continue to get your bonuses BUT they don’t let you know that once you become a VIP member the rules change: if you miss a day you will lose all your bonus days until you buy more coins. The way they treat VIPs are very un-VIP! You’re better off never giving Clawee any of your money! Don’t do it!

UPDATE: I received the one plush I won so they are somewhat legit and they changed the daily bonus so everyone gets one every day. Those are good improvements! BUT every time you level up the prices of your previous level items get higher. This is a problem when you are trying to save up coins to buy the item, you play more to earn more coins for the item you want but since you are playing more you level up and then the item price gets higher and keeps getting out of your reach!

I’ve played for quite a while, used to a lot, then just on & off, but I recently just deleted the game because I realized it can be a scam. Quite a few of the machines definitely have to coded it where only every X play does it do a full power grab, not unusual, just unfortunate depending on if you fully grab something, but the machine just lets go for no reason. Plus, I don’t know why it’s so bad now, it didn’t used to be, but it’s very laggy. Obviously since it’s live-streaming the claw machines, there might be a bit of delay, but when I picked it back up again recently, it was really bad, to the point where I practically couldn’t time anything based on look, and just had to use the sound of how long I had held in the button to move the crane. So obviously not very efficient. That being said, there have been times where I’ve won a prize by the claw grabbing just the tail, or very small part of a stuffed animal and got real lucky, but those are very far and few between, not impossible, just improbable. Like I said in the review title, it truly can be fun if it works properly, it just doesn’t all the time. Which can be frustrating when getting coins takes forever when you try to do the free route, and is expensive when you try to pay for them directly. I’d still probably recommend it to try if you really enjoy crane games, but if it doesn’t work in the beginning, don’t try to make it work, you’ll probably just end up wasting money.

I tried reaching out to them over 15 times in regards to an issue I was having with the game not loading at all. I spent 20 dollars in coins and had to go through apple to get a refund since I wasn’t able to get ahold of anyone from Clawee Also, I’ve had more than 5 things not arrive even though it says they were shipped. Shipping costs coins so basically I wasted coins for shipping on products that never came. Lastly, the game lags and I’ve lost over 2,000 coins to this issue. I’ve reached out to support and was told to send a video only to be told they didn’t see any issues each and every time.

Update: having the same exact issue again to where I had to get a refund from Apple. I waited this time for their support to help me which has been extremely frustrating. All the prizes I won disappeared from my account and I’m being gaslit by them saying everything is there

Update 2: after 5 days of contacting support with no help, I reached out on their Instagram and they were able to figure out my issue in about 20 minutes. They were very kind and didn’t gaslight me on this issue like the person I talked to from support who ignored my chat and never replied. I’m giving them 3 stars and not 1 because Clawee DOES work and whoever is running their Instagram is a very professional and nice person but I didn’t like having to wait 5 days for someone to tell me nothing was wrong.

OK I normally don’t write reviews that are bad but this was… Well how do I explain it this game my friend showed me and they said it’s awesome but then I realized you only get 400 coins and for the newbies you have to spend coins on the claw games and each game is 200 coins the first time I played I was like OK I want the cactus wallet so I clicked on it I played and I didn’t get anything so I said OK maybe I get another chance nope I did not get another chance so I basically spent 200 coins on nothing the only way you can get the good stuff and everything else is to get vip but VIP is four dollars you can only do the beginner stuff and it’s oh so expensive because you only get 400 coins at the start and all of the beginner stuff is 200 coins each and you have to spend money on coins you don’t earn coins by playing the game you have to spend real actual money on coins and if you don’t have any coins you can’t play the claw games when I ran out of coins I couldn’t play the claw games and I just wanted to play them not actually get stuff but I couldn’t I just looked at all the stuff wondering I want that. So yeah if you don’t like spending money don’t get this game it would’ve been fun if the coins you didn’t have to spend money on you could just earn them throughout the game

Won 2 prizes for FREE and ended up getting VIP for the $2.. I’ll admit some prizes are definitely harder to win than others but for the money I’ve spent and if you use their PROMO codes you can actually get some decent deals on coins. Only ONE time did I have the glitch lag out and I lost my coins ... I could of contacted support but I didn’t. Anyway I bought $5 worth of coins last night and won 2 prizes and I let my girlfriend try the game but she didn’t know how to play and ended up wasting 160 of my coins ... I contacted support explaining the situation and they gave me a credit to my account for 160 coins which I used myself and won yet a 3rd price in ONE night! I’ve received a total of 3 prizes so far. And 3 more are on the way... I definitely think it’s cool and the daily bonuses and other bonuses like play 20 games get 100 coins, connect facebook account, refer friends ... you have PLENTY of opportunities to earn free coins. I would have left 4 stars but because of the acceptional customer support I am doing 5. Only thing that could be fixed is very slow shipping time, otherwise it’s great!!!! Can’t wait to upload pictures on Facebook of my prizes to earn additional coins. One feature you should add is watch videos, surveys, or download apps to earn coins! COOL GAME OTHERWISE!

*EDIT* I’ve removed a star from my original review because of some of the things I’ve seen them do lately. Firstly, they made the game with some of the most desirable prizes nearly impossible to win without spending WAY too much money. This would be the egg bucket game. They had a golden egg that would give you an instant win, and now they’ve taken it out, but the machine still advertises the egg as an instant win. Plus, I watched a player fill the bucket almost all the way, so the next player would have been able to win, but a worker came by before anyone else could play the machine and reset the bucket. Kind of shady, IMO. The workers will step in front of the cameras while a game is going on, which isn’t right. Haven’t had it happen to me, but I’ve seen it happen while others are playing.

So far, this has been the best of these type games I’ve tried. I won a prize on my very first game. And I never win anything on these! So far I’ve won 2 prizes in about a week worth of playing and I’ve only spent $0.99 just to get the VIP status. You get free coins each day which you can use to play the games and win. The lag isn’t nearly as bad as other games like this, but it’s still there. It’s worth a shot and definitely worth the $0.99 VIP cost.

Clawee is very good and I love it but it gets very annoying having to buy more coins I wish there was an easier way to get coins without buying them like if you could watch an ad and get some coins also if the bonus was better because I looked and it said that i could not collect it yet but later I looked and it had expired and I already bought the vip pass so I could play and I also sent the link to two of my friends and one of them downloaded the game but I did not get the coins that the game said I would I love this game and downloaded it because I love claw machines but I just want an easier way to get coins because at this point I could probably go and play a real claw machine and it would cost less because I have no way of getting coins without buying them which I think is dumb because I feel like when I bought the vip that it did not change the game much because I did not get any other way of getting coins. Like I said I love this game but i just need another way to get coins. It is just dumb that I have no other way to get coins besides buying them I get that you have to make profit with the game but maybe you could get a spinster and use The adds to get money and also make the people who play the machines mire happy because I just can’t get anymore coins.

It’s an awesome game, the most accurate of all the real live claw machines as with prizes- a lot of the other games list awesome prizes, you click on it, and it shows a completely different prize- this one is ACTUALLY accurate prize wise though. And also when playing, the claw isn’t delayed according to your moves as it is in other games. In other games, you click a direction, and it takes a good 5 seconds to register your move and complete it- this game is AWESOME though, and is perfect in timing with your moves. You don’t have to pay to ship the wins to your house either, unlike other games that make you pay to ship. I’m comparing Clawee to other games because it is SO much better than them. The only problem I have is with the daily reward- I’m not sure I quite understand how it works. Today I came to get it, realized I still had some time before I could collect it, so I waited for another hour until I could collect it. When I came back to collect it then, it said my “daily bonus had expired”. Is there a certain limit of time it can not be collected? I am still unsure on this point, but if this continues to not be a working feature, it will be frustrating when I have to buy coins every time I want to try and win something. Developers, please make this clear, or fix it if it’s a messed up feature. Thank you! ☺️

Honestly I love this game so much! Let me explain why, this app is a super fun game and you can win real prizes on a virtual app witch I think is really hard to do, but yet this app accomplish that. I’ve had the game for a while and sometimes I’d just scroll on my phone and look at some of the things they have for you to win, and I was so stunned by the selection! They also have great deals like when it’s this app’s birthday or there’s a special holiday and I think that’s pretty cool. There is also different levels you can go on and the bigger the level the better the prize! I have also won some prizes before and when I got them they were in great condition! I also love how they tell you information about the item you want, example if you want a plushie they will tell you what the length is and the size. I really recommend you download it it’s a great game! Although I will have to warn you that it dose take a REALLY long time to get to your house, but that’s only because of the distance, and the prizes will not always be easy to win, I get frustrated sometimes will trying to win something sometimes, but even tho it might be tricky it’s a lot better than a claw machine in real life, you have a better chance on this app to win something, but pls you should download it I LOVE THIS GAME!! Hugs and kisses to you this app!!! ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

I have played the game a lot ever since I got it it’s not a bad app but there are some complications that could get fixed but for some reason it just isn’t happening but it’s fine. There is only one main problem that I’ve been focusing on is something with the employees they keep going on the screen when a player is playing a round. Otherwise, I find Clawee really fun to play and for my very first 2 games I won both times! The game knows how to keep you interested. But there is also something wrong with the difficulty of some of the games here was some game I forgot which but I think it’s a magnetic type of game and those are extremely difficult I would really like it if you changed the difficulty just a tad bit. Also there are a couple of games that you could get extra coins so if you want more coins just play that game. I really can’t lie but this game really is an amazing game and I have had such a fun time playing this app none of the problems have happened to me and I’m great full for that but I still don’t want hat to happen anyway good luck this app on this game I expect the best from you guys this has been an amazing time playing the game. Thank You!

I spent way too much time and money on toreba (the Japanese crane game) where every prize is rigged against you so you need to know all the tricks to making it work and it’s never a “first try win” sort of game, you have to meticulously edge the item towards winning it, each try only moves it a millimeter at best. In comparison- Clawee is just like the crane games I’ve played in the US- the claw actually grabs items and you have a chance of winning on the first go.

The VIP is fairly priced and I think it’s worth it. I see lots of reviews talking about playing for free but that’s really not fair to Clawee producers. If they aren’t getting paid then they can’t maintain the game and I respect that. Even so, this one is the least expensive from my experience. And the price I feel is fair. Besides, no crane game in person is ever going to give you free coins, so to get them is just a little bonus.

On my first try I won a snorlax plush keychain and my second win it took me 3 tries to get a large mewtwo plush. If you like crane games and you feel like you’re lucky/skilled with them, give it a go. I think the only downside is how long shipping will take. 7 weeks is almost two months, it will be spring by the time I get my prizes 😅

I’m going to give a comprehensive review here because this is the first game app I’ve ever encountered in which you control a real machine from the comfort and safety of your phone. I’ve won three stuffed animals so far. If you want free shipping and access to the ‘VIP’ machines you have to pay 4 bucks but I shelled it out simply because Clawee is SUPER FUN! The machines aren’t rigged like so many actual machines I’ve encountered in ‘real life.’ I’ve played claws my whole life since I used to watch my grandfather wipe them out and give the toys to the local Shriner donation house when I was young. Now, since the pandemic started I have been super reluctant to go to the arcades and haven’t been able to scratch the itch, per se. If ever there was a reason to give an app a few bucks to play a game, it’s this one, and even if you don’t or can’t, they give out free coins every day so essentially you can play for free; it just takes about a week for a free go at a claw. They keep the games well stocked, not much funny business about stuffing them in either. They even show a playback of the last win, so you can see how other people have won the prize and give you a good idea of how to win yourself. Love it, keep it up you guys, I’m very happy.

It seemed a bit sketchy at first but after a couple of try’s I won a small panda but in order to ship it you needed 700 coins. I had 30 after trying to win the panda and so I bought the VIP pass. You get free shipping on all the items that you win an extra bonuses. When you get VIP your are able toUnlock more prizes and get more things. I recommend getting it it’s only four dollars. Although you start off with some prizes you need to unlock the others in order to be able to play the game. You need to level up and get more wins. What do you level up to level two you can play more games and win more prizes. I suggest that before you play a game do you study how others play it,It’s ability. Some machines maybe more weak then others. You can also earn more coins which gives you more chances to play in order to play for more coins do you need to get to level two on the VIP. Do this by winning games. You don’t get a lot of coins when you start off and when you get your bonus so I suggest if you can play for more coins. I like the game but you need a lot of patience and time in order to win things and if you intend on not spending any money it’s gonna take even longer to cover the shipping cost although it does use in game currency to ship. But other than that it’s a pretty cool game.

After seeing an Instagram post about a virtual claw game, I was intrigued and wanted to try some out. I always loved playing claw games at restaurants/stores when I was younger. After downloading and trying about 5 different games, this app became my favorite! You can make purchases to get coins for playing, but you can also get rewarded coins for logging in every day. The prizes are awesome! Including plushies, jewelry, accessories, home decor, gadgets, and more! There are tons of prizes for people of all ages to enjoy. Shipping does take a while, but it’s worth it when it was something you were able to win. I have had some issues with machines malfunctioning, but customer serves is great! You just email explaining what happened and can link the video of your game to get a resolution. It’s super fun to be able to play claw games, but do it remotely so I don’t have to go out to one of those restaurants or stores. You know that it’s real because while watching claws, you can see the actual human employees replenishing machines. You also don’t have to go in to a machine blind. You can watch as other people play, learning from their mistakes or figuring out how to copy their moves to get your own win. If you follow this app on Facebook too then you can see updates on discount codes and share your wins and prizes with others! Join me in Clawee addiction :)

Super easy to get prizes and very cool too the only problem is: camera come times a little slow and /or delayed but overall I’m fine with it ❤️
Another issue was that in order to get money you had to play games and that’s fun and all but when I try to invite my friend to the game and collect 500 coins it never gave me 500 coins honestly I am fine with it but for all those people who really love this game and will actually get some items shipped I do suggest that this issue is fixed I tried it twice and I should’ve gotten 1000 coins but sadly I did not it’s OK though because I still love the game and I have 50 coins so far and I will try somehow to save up all those coins and try to actually buy another in conclusion, I do wish they could fix this problem because I would really love my 1000 coins if it did work. I don’t really care about this other issue but I also started out with 400 coins when some of my friends started out with more, or so I think I don’t really know I didn’t check my coins I or I forgot but overall love this game so much really enjoy it just hope those issues are fixed soon.

I’ve always been good at these types of games so I started today and won in the tutorial naturally afterward i spent a few bucks to have some nice starter money and I pretty much have been grabbing what I wanted non stop, there is a bit of a delay between input and execution since the machines are live but once you compensate for this winning is easy, not too much later I saw the advertisement for the golden gacha ball game and a chance to win 24k coins for 7.99 so I take a shot and my first grab I win 20,000 coins I then take that and win almost 4 plushies all in the span of about an hour I now have most of those on their way to my house, traded the more girl oriented wins for coins and will update this review if I actually receive my winnings.

Edit: I received all prizes won, it does take a really long time but they all did eventually show up and since I paid the few bucks shipping was free for all of them I imagine the game can only really become costly if your bad at it and continue to dump money into it but if you are skilled you can get free coins daily save up for what you want to win and then go for it.
