Store Product Search-Fail

I hate wasting fuel on driving around & I am also disabled. But if I want to find out the price of my say ‘Monsters 4pk Caffenated drinks, I have to drive there. I have to try t& find the closest park, as only 2 disabled available, get myself & canes out of car & walk in to peruse the aisles. I am in pain & exhaustion, then I mostly have to leave as it is cheaper elsewhere. Total waste of time, energy, pain, fuel & frustration.
We don’t need 2 things in the same App doing the same thing. The ‘catalogue & the ‘product search’ of the catalogue.
I love IGA otherwise. I’d just like to be able to shop there without effort & product search before hand so I know what I’m buying where.
And if you want to look up say, Famers Market Dog Food Cans.
It would give a few dog food varieties bags included, then Farmers yoghurt, canned food & other food. … STOP!
The actual item never came up.
Same with Monsters.
Vs, Red Bull, Coffee milk, coffee, monster toys.
Some even reading these reviews from the company??? Nobody has replied to anyone. I thought IGA cared about their locals.?!?

Poor search engine

Disappointing search, looking for Australian frozen salt and pepper squid, no luck, tried entering seafood, results only showed 1x frozen fish fillets and canned tuna. Aye Karumba.

Waste of time

Downloaded the app to search for products and discovered the hard way it (still) only searches specials. Deleted!

Basically useless, needs to be rebuilt

Very outdated, slow, not intuitive, search doesnt work etc. deleted within 30 minutes. Easy to write a list by hand.

Not functional

Immediately deleted after downloading as it doesn’t function the way most of these grocery store apps usually do. Cannot log into & add to cart, didn’t get as far as to realise only specials can be viewed. Will re-download once it has a purpose. I use these as a shopping list with up to date prices & availability.

Useless app

I don’t see what the point of this app is for. It’s useless and every time I search for a product is says it’s not found. Not even worth 1 star.

Voda NZ

It’s really weird how it says voda nz as if it’s in New Zealand but it’s a Australian app.

Terrible

Clearly made lazily.. cannot see all specials. Can’t refresh page. Some categories are empty. Freezes a lot and icons randomly disappearing.

Promoted as an app to create a shopping list, doesn’t even let you see all products. Cannot productively shop this way. See you at Coles instead.

Waste of time

IGA could learn how to build an App from the majors.

Useful but requires improvements and fixes

First of all, it does do the basics of looking at the catalogue, searching for products however there are a few flaws that hinder the experience. First of all, not all products that are in IGA are actually listed here, the website is more accurate, secondly, the app doesn’t seem to be fully optimised for my iPhone, I use iPhone X and it doesn’t use all the screen which is a little annoying.

Other than that, here are few suggestions that I think will make the app much better. I think by tapping on products, it should give more than just the price, it should mention the dietary label and ingredients, so it would be a bit more useful, so the people who actually care about their health can easily do so just through simple taps.
Dark Mode would be nice, at times of the day, the white light from the background can be eye straining, and also the dark mode will allow us to save battery.
And finally the obvious optimisation for phones with taller displays, the apps picture show offs show it’s possible but when I open the app, it’s completely different.

Thanks!
