Where’s the Rewards
The app is convenient when it works. I say that because so often I go through the pains of buying online and I get to the end and get an error. This happens frequently. I resubmit, start over , etc. same stupid error message. And there is no one to call and ask for assistance. I keep the app current on my iPhone. The next day it may or may not work again. I also think going through the menu is slow and clumsy.
I also try to get my order straight in advance so when I am ready and I hit the purchase button I know it will be fresh. This is typically the time I am hurried and do not want to step through the menu. But I still want Subway Fresh, right. But today something changed and when I went back to my order to submit payment it appeared to be missing. So I ordered all over again and then noticed I had two subs in the queue. So I had to figure out how to cancel one of them. My order changed slightly and I couldn’t tell which one I was canceling.
So what is my reward for continuing to use the app and buy from Subway. There is none. No rewards for buying your subs 3-4 days a week. No extra discounts. No buy 4 get the 5th free. Nada. And I don’t expect anyone will respond to my input. So Surprise me, Subway.

Says failed when my order actually went!
I'm not one to write reviews but This is getting old... This app is still terrible even after the updates. Twice now I have attempted to order and it says "something went wrong please erase your cart and try again" or something like that. One time I completely gave up and went somewhere else only to get a call asking if I was coming to pick it up. The staff was nice enough to keep it on record as an I owe you and redeemed that later. Another time I tried a second time to get the order to go through as the directions stated and when I went in to just order it the normal way they stated the order went through twice and one ticket had 3 meals ordered. I only told it to order one meal a time.. Get this SH@$ working already.. This is going on over a year for Subway having an epic failure of an app. Keep saying they fixed it with every update... Do you even use our test the app? Someone isn't doing there job right. I'd feel pretty miserable if I was in charge of application development! Hope they're getting paid well for nothing! Almost every other food ordering app from other places has a 4 plus most over 4.5 plus rating... I think it's time you take a look at how they are doing it. Maybe throw up the white flag and call for help.. You literally have nothing to lose. Rant over.

Simply Doesn’t Work - Subway Gives Copy And Paste Responses
This app went from buggy to completely non-functional. Open the app and after a few taps it crashes and closes. I’m not going to spend any time detailing the exact issues I’m experiencing because the Subway response will be the same copy and paste response they have given to everyone... “We want to help, please contact us at.... yada, yada, yada...”. Bottom line is, the app doesn’t work for most people and needs a drastic overhaul by competent developers. So far all that Subway has had to offer is copy and paste lip service. Make a meaningful effort to your customers and admit that the app is broken and that you’re actually addressing the problem with qualified developers (assuming that’s what you’re actually doing). There are more complicated apps out there that perform flawlessly, so yours doesn’t have to be an exception - hire qualified people Subway.

Terrible
EDIT: the app does now allow me to order a sandwich. So that’s an improvement. Everything else below is still bad though. Added one star back.
Favorites are impossible to manage and weirdly include the restaurant so you need multiple favorites for the same sandwich if you live and work in two different places or if you are traveling, you can’t use your favorites. Selection of location is cryptic and often results in being stuck unable to add food to purchase. Can’t change restaurant after picking food. Why can’t I choose to use my points as a payment method?! This update has actually made it impossible to order anything. Error every single time I have tried the last couple days. So many opportunities to do better it’s impossible to list them all. Whoever you all got to rewrite this a few months ago should be fired and possibly subjected to the game of thrones walk of shame. Worst implementation of a simple storefront I can imagine. Seriously, I just want to order a sammich and have it ready when I arrive. The app used to do that amazingly well.

Missing some things here
I used to live in California, and in California there is a special Subway app specifically for that state, which I hadn’t understood at the time since I first started using Subway apps when I moved there. Having moved to NC, I noticed there is no longer a delivery option. Why does subway not deliver outside of California? Or if it does, why not in any location anywhere near the southeast US? I’m not talking about catering, I don’t need to order dozens of subs for some event. I just want to order a few subs for lunch and get them delivered to me while I continue working the whole time. Is there a reason why only California seems to deliver for individual orders?
Also, on both apps you cannot make any special requests except through notes. Yet 80% of the time the workers do not see the notes. So I have no way to order multiple cheeses with the app, I can’t ask for a little extra toasting (since the breakfast sandwiches are always, at every location, still cold with normal toasting).
The app is very limited in general with little real customization through the customization option.
