This study aims to determine the effectiveness of zakat payment services through the Cinta Zakat application owned by the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS), this study uses a netnography method to analyze application user reviews through the Google Play store platform. Netnography is used to understand social interaction in the context of contemporary digital communication.
