Search functions could be improved

Good app, £40 has gone up compared to much cheaper previous renewal. Need to enable location at restaurants to use.

Could do with better search function, categories to filter by cuisines, need to book in advance or walk in would improve

I can’t wrap my head around anyone scoring this under 5 stars

This app is absolutely brilliant - the discounts are fantastic but what really sets it apart is the level of customer service.

Every time I’ve contacted the team, they’ve come back to me quickly and not just during the 9-5 which is so refreshing. You feel like a valued member of the community which is what we all want!

The discounts you get for some of the top restaurants are unbeatable and perfect for those who work in hospitality and don’t often get to treat yourself!

Amazing stuff and I’d recommend to anyone in the industry

Great App

Love the app - just a bit annoying you have to sign in so regularly. Sometimes it will ask you to sign in twice within 30 mins. Can touch ID be implemented??

Response from developer

Not valid email

Hi,
I got a simple e-mail and I’m trying to register in the app but is keeping saying that my email is not valid.
Don’t understand why.

Fantastic concept

Creating a way that people who usually work long hours in a fairly low paid industry can affordably experience and learn about food and hospitality is a really amazing concept which will help our industry improve.
It would be nice, though, if it were possible to narrow down the search results (for example by cuisine or price), as it’s difficult to sort through an ever increasing list of restaurants.

Hi Shaulan, thanks so much for your feedback and your review - we're so happy you love the concept, and are enjoying being a member of the CODE community. It's interesting to note that you'd like to see more search functionality as our list of offers continues to expand. It's certainly an idea we've been thinking about too.

The concept is awesome, the app needs a lot of work...

It’s a great app (and the bulletins are fantastic. I don’t believe I have the option for the quarterly, but I read one sent to my boss and they're also fantastic! So a visit to the website is integral! This app is allowing industry individuals to visit other wonderful places to dine. It’s a marvellous concept I fully support, but the app is awful. It glitches a lot, even since the redesign, and is currently constantly preventing me from making a restaurant booking. I’m happy to call the restaurant but I assume the member discount comes through Codeapp.
The tech just needs a bit more work. It’s an easy sell since so many of us in the industry want to eat at other places but either don’t have contacts there or more often than not our contacts are not in the position to give a discount. And we would not jeopardise their position. We all often pay full price because we have an appreciation for the hard work that has gone in to make our meal. The tech here just needs to reflect the concept it is supposed to support.
Many thanks.

Hi Chestnut, thanks for your feedback, and we're happy you like the app, our bulletin and the concept of CODE. Really sorry that you've experienced glitches when trying to make a reservation. Our offers have an option to make a reservation from within the app, linking to the establishment's phone number or email address, but you can also make a reservation directly with a restaurant/bar. You need to quote 'CODE app' whilst making a reservation and then show your CODE ID when you arrive/pay the bill. We're constantly looking for ways to improve our user's experience, so please feel free to send a bit more information about the glitches you've been experiencing to tom@codehospitality.co.uk and we will investigate asap. CODE members have access to an online version of the Quarterly at our website, and you can also subscribe for a physical copy at our website

Hey Lee, thanks for your review! We're so happy you've been with us since the beginning, and thanks for spreading the word - Team CODE

Huge increase in subscription price by new owners

Increased the price six fold for yearly membership. Absolutely shocking, kicking people out of the app who have already paid a years subscription.
Need to rethink pricing structure for hospitality folks who are on low wages and are looking for discount meal without a rip off app

Response from developer

Hi Penelope. Thanks for your feedback. To confirm, we haven't removed anybody who has an existing subscription. We are aware of isolated members whose existing subscriptions have not been picked up in our new system. They should get in touch and we will be able to assist. With regards to the new pricing, existing members won't pay anything additional unless they actively choose to when their current subscription expires. With our new membership members are able to subscribe on a monthly or yearly basis (and cancel anytime). With the ever-growing range of offers available, as well as the extra member perks we believe the new membership to CODE provides great value for money. If you're having trouble logging in or believe your existing subscription is not reflected on your account, please send us an email to contact@codehospitality.co.uk so we can help you regain access. We're still an independently-owned company here to support the hospitality industry.

Nightmare! Extremely buggy

The app is very buggy and poorly made. It stays on the loading page most times. I have to delete the app and reinstall every time I want to see anything! Please fix this!! Absolute nightmare

Response from developer

Hi Anika, please kindly update your CODE app to version 5.1.7, as this contains a fix for what you've described above. If you have any issues please send us an email to contact@codehospitality.co.uk and we can help from there

Amazing app

Allows those of us in the industry access to incredible places- the concept is perfect, and we are eternally grateful! But the app is very glitchy- it doesn't even work unless deleted and re-installed on iOS 13. Please make a fix for it

Response from developer

Hi Arun thanks for your kind words and sorry to hear you're having trouble with your app. Please drop us a note with your name, registered email and some more details and we'll look into it. Thanks CODE - contact@codehospitality.co.uk
