The concept is great and was happy when I came across this from a local source in my city in Charlotte. I was off work for over a week and perfect time to test the app out. I would get the alerts since I had them turned on for the app. Literally as soon as I would receive notifications, and click on them them,the store is sold out immediately. How is this so if I just received 2 seconds ago and clicked immediately. The pickup times are also weird which I could still deal with. The app also gets stuck often and takes forever loading. I have had to turn my phone off and restart just to get the app to work. While this is a great concept, it’s useless and have now deleted.
In the week of me having this app, it has NEVER loaded. It doesn’t matter if I’m WiFi or data, clicking a notification or just going in randomly- nothing. Both the discover page and the search page just keep buffering. Great idea but can’t work if the app doesn’t.
Seems like they fixed the app. Loving it so far

Sorry for the slow experience! We're growing fast and are having trouble keeping up with bandwidth needs! We're a small team doing everything we can to fix the app in Charlotte. We're close to the solution so hopefully you can get your hands on a bag soon. This app is a great idea in concept, but the delivery is not good. The app crashes every single time an order becomes available. I’m assuming it’s because it can’t handle the amount of people fighting over the order. Also not gonna lie, the discounts aren’t even that great. For leftover food that’s about to get thrown away, these businesses are still basically charging almost full price. For example… $12 for a box of donuts that’s about to get thrown out? Kinda a ripoff. My advise is to fix the app from crashing and bring down the prices.
I love the concept behind Goodie Bag, and when it works, it’s great! Unfortunately, the app itself is a major letdown. It crashes constantly, making it nearly impossible to use, and I often get stuck on loading screens. I really want to enjoy the experience, but until they fix the app’s performance issues, it’s just too frustrating to recommend.
I love the concept of this app and was able to get one goodie bag, but it’s quite buggy. Every time I try to load the page it always gives me 404 errors, which makes it difficult to secure bags before they run out.

Sorry about that! We're extremely close to a fix! We're a small team of 4 doing everything we can to fix the issue. This app is a great concept but you obviously cannot handle the demand. This app takes forever to load anytime I get a notification. I’ve very rarely been able to purchase anything due to the delay in loading.

Sorry to hear. And yes, we're a small team of 4 simply growing faster then our bandwidth can keep up with. Don't worry though we're extremely close to a fix so everyone can enjoy the platform again. The app bugs out almost every day. It won’t connect or spends two to three minutes in loading constantly just to tell you your wifi is down. Many times I get a notification that a bag is up but then my app spends over four minutes loading and I know I have no chance.

Hi there. Sorry to hear about the slow experience. We're a small team working hard to fix the loading time in Charlotte. We're close! Please hang in there!This is a great concept, but the app will not reliably connect to the internet. It is also very slow. If they can fix issues with the app then I’d give it another try!

Hi there. Sorry for the slow experience. We've been working hard on a solution! Transparently were a tiny team of 4 and we're doing everything we can to fix the loading time in Charlotte. Great concept but the app is completely unusable. Not sure if it cannot handle the amount of people who are trying to access timely deals but it is more frustration than anything else.

You hit the nail on the head. We're a small team of 4 growing faster than we can keep up with (good and bad). But we are extremely close to a fix! Then we'll be smooth sailing 🤙
