    I agreed to allow this app to mine my data at a certain agreed upon pay rate. I have used this app for a long time successfully. The app suddenly stopped allowing people to access it about 3 months ago, stating updates coming. They still mined my data this whole time, as my phone alerts me of apps accessing my data. When I was finally able to log in again, the amount of my points equaled 1/100 of the agreed upon rate (agreed rate - 1000 points = 1$. New rate ***** points = 1$. There is no way to speak to this app. Their zendesk account is unmanned and sends an automated message telling you so. Theyve effectively stole my data, broke their own contracts. Theyve even fraudulently updated the amounts on my previous cash outs as seen by my screenshots of my bank showing the actual amount received

    The Caden app has been scamming people for their data. First they went down with no warning and had employees that people were reaching out to saying that the app is done without giving people a chance to unlink their data or log into their account accounts at all to withdraw whatever points they had left, and now after backlash they are back after weeks and they have completely depleted the initial earnings that were agreed to so the amount of credits you earned that previously converted at a rate of ****** to $10 USD now equals $1 and they changed their terms of service without warning as soon as the app came back and have made it difficult to even withdraw your earnings.

    Anthology is a brick and mortar shop at *********************************************************** selling paper goods and craft supplies. I've attached a photo of our storefront. The Caden app is not an app that we use or sell so I'm not sure how this is connected to our business. Please let me know if you need more documentation about the nature of our business.

    Caden is an app that offers to pay you for data to share. Originally the pay versus the data was phenomenal and they paid up to $40 after 4000 points were collected. they recently had software updates where now they are offering, weightless and not honoring the original agreement at this point they are just stealing my data and it to other companies..

    As many have probably complained about, this company had an app where they sell your data. As a result, you get points and redeem it for money. I had 40K points which was equivalent to 40 dollars in my account. After an update that was unknown to literally everyone using the app, the value went down to 4 dollars. This is a weird business tactic and there is no customer service working right now either. I just want my money.

    I used the Caden app, which rewards users with cash in exchange for access to personal data like phone usage and location. The app previously paid out at a rate of ***** points = $1.I earned approximately ****** points (about $55 in value), and had already redeemed $40$60 through the app in the ******* early 2025, the app went into a months-long maintenance mode that prevented all access to accounts and redemptions. There was no notice or communication, and all customer support (email and help desk) was disabled during this period.When the app returned, it had silently changed the point conversion rate to ***** points = $0.10 without warning or prior consent. My balance was suddenly worth only $5 instead of $55. Even more troubling, the app rewrote my past redemption history, making my $10$20 payouts appear as only $1 each.I have bank statements showing larger deposits, which contradict what the app now shows. Their website also used to list the original exchange rate, which was only recently changed.There has been no response from the company, and all communication methods remain disabled. I believe this is deceptive and unfair treatment of users.

    I have been using this app for over a year, approximately 1-2 months ago it went down for maintenance. It was impossible to contact anyone on any of the platforms typically made available. The app has now come back online, however the payment rates have drastically decreased. My past payments from Caden are showing to be 10% of what they truly were. I have not been advised of the reduced payment rates.

    Anthology Labs Inc. (formerly Caden ***** updated the Terms of Service without any notification while the date showing the last time the Terms were updated had not been changed, fundamentally changed the service without reflecting it in the Terms of Service, and is changing records of point redemption to reflect the new rate of conversion (changed from 1000pts = $1 to ****** = $1).

    I have been a member of Caden since 2024 I have cashed out several times with no issues on about May 16th the Apple Store said I needed to update the app when I went to update it said thanks for your patience were working on some big things for the Caden app and will be back soon. I reached out to support and the response I got via email was Hi there,Caden support is currently unavailable. This message box is not active for responses at this time as it is unattended I cannot get a hold of customer service and prior to this I had to reach out to get my points I was missing and I got the runaround. I never had an issue cashing out and now suddenly right when Im about to cash out the app stops working. Im fed up with this

    Caden (by Anthology Labs Inc.) has disabled redemptions on its data-tracking app for weeks, continues to collect user data, and is not honoring the rewards users were promised. Support has been dismissive and offers no resolution or timeline. They have also been rude whenever I follow up and stated for me to not submit another inquiry
