The Most Recent Update
I think the most recent update did something to this app. I’m using an iPhone SE (2020 model) with iOS version 17.6.1. The last three times I tried to use it, it would freeze any time I scanned an item and added it to my cart. I’m always having to force close the app and then restart it. I did consider uninstalling then reinstalling the app, but I wouldn’t want to try something so drastic just yet. In any case, I think the that the team behind this app should look into it.
As for the app itself, usually it works like it’s supposed to, and it’s convenient if you don’t want to use the hand scanners. However, I can only give it four stars because of a single flaw (though, this is more about the mobile checkout system itself): if anything goes wrong (e.g.: an item didn’t scan correctly, or your checkout gets “audited” as they call it), then mobile checkout won’t be available at all, and you’ll only get a barcode. You’ll then have to use either a regular self-checkout, or do it the old fashioned way (with a cashier). Also, it may just be me, but I don’t think digital coupons are available either when using it.
Overall, it’s not really as bad as other reviews make it sound, at least in my experience. Also, while any kind of self-checkout is convenient, be sure to support the cashiers too.
