Great app!!

I dont get weekly flyers anymore so i just LOVE this app. When i go shopping i just call up the grocery list i made while looking at the online flyers and im guaranteed to never miss a deal at Food Basics again!
All apps should be this easy!

Can’t get into the app

Can’t get into the app. I sign in and it tells me that my email or password is incorrect so I request a password and it doesn’t send an email so I tried to create another sign in and it tells me that that account already exists. Literally getting nowhere app deleted.

Preferred store is missing

This store is missing from the app:
45 Overlea Blvd, Toronto, ON M4H 1C3

Needs a shopping list
Good to see sale items & flyer, and to get coupons. No shopping list, so you can't load the sale items to a shopping list. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The app designers should take a look at the Shoppers Drug Mart app.

Would have liked tablet compatibility

Don’t like that you have to log in to get a voucher.

Why

It worked better before this latest update. Before the update the app would help to generate a list of items to purchase from each flyer. Not now. Why???
That was one of the best features of the app. I could walk through the store and look at the flyer or list and see what I wanted to purchase. I also knew that I got everything.

Other reviews stating it's not a good app to do groceries with are correct.

Only the flyer and coupon clipping is available, no searching through real store items to add to the list. Only flyer items. What a waste of my time!

Bad Basics food app

Absolutely useless app, too long surveys which can stop and restart anytime in the middle of when almost at the end

Nice app

Wish they would offer delivery.
Retired, I don’t drive anymore (visually impaired), and due to COVID, I don’t take public transit either.
