Try SaveMart Supermarkets for now
The Lucky Stores App is still crashing. But. The SaveMart Supermarkets is updated and useful for UNTIL the Lucky Supermarket App is repaired. It is difficult to navigate, but it DOES get your coupon for rewards - eventually.
It won't download to a device that uses IOS 8.0, but it "requires" 8.0. However, you can download an "older version" to get your shopping benefits while you wait. Must be the same website creator that Obama hired for Obamacare (sorry, JUST A JOKE, no offense meant!)

Didn't meet my expectations.
While I really like shopping at Lucky Supermarkets, I definitely don't love this app. Some of the major issues:
Periodically signs me out so that I never know if I have to log in again or not (for comparison, I have only had to sign in to my Safeway account two or three times since I created it three years ago).
The menu is black-on-black and is unreadable unless I press on one of the options.
The points system is barely an incentive. Every dollar spent earns one point, however there are never any promotions to earn extra points like other stores (e.g. Raley's, Rite Aid, Walgreens...) have. The available rewards are pitiful, and a quick bit of math puts the approximate value of a point at about one cent. A free jar of peanut butter costs 300 points, which means you have to spend $300 just to score some Skippy.
All this would be fine, because a measly 1% back is still better than nothing, except for the fact that I just discovered that the points expire (the latest update at least puts this info on the home menu). I'm just one guy, so I'm discovering that I can't accrue points fast enough to reach a reward option before chunks of my points expire. This effectively means that I wasted my time every shopping trip that I punched in my phone number, not to mention signing up in the first place.
Coming from one of my favorite stores, and with such a catchy name, I had high hopes for this app. Unfortunately, it's just a big disappointment.
