### 5/5 — Excellent quality

*2026-07-09, version 3.1.2*

I find the products being sold on the Abel & Cole Platform exceptionally healthy and of high quality. Eating clean on another level!

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2026-06-28, version 3.1.2*

Tapping search brings up a search bar but no txt prompt. Tapping it again and still no text entry prompt, only on the third touch you can then enter text.

### 4/5 — Handy

*2026-05-09, version 3.1.2*

Very handy to have the app on the phone. 
Generally works well but there are occasional glitches when a reduced price offer seems not to be applied to an item that is on regular re-order already ‘in the basket’, even on refresh. This means I have to add the item on offer and delete the one already in the basket, or move the latter to a later date. 
The ‘skip’ button for when you don’t need a regular purchase on a particular week is also helpful, but can be a bit slow.
These glitches are the only reason for not giving 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Fresh

*2026-04-04, version 3.1.2*

Love the vegetables , always fresh !

### 5/5 — Great salad and soup kits

*2026-03-29, version 3.1.2*

Eating more fresh veg since receiving these boxes.  Ingenious salads with ingredients that I would not have thought of putting together that, in fact, make for wonderful recipes.

### 1/5 — Organic food great not so the app!

*2026-02-15, version 3.1.1*

So the food is fabulous and I order every week. 
However had a new iPhone this week and now the app no longer works.  It doesn’t open and I get a message telling me where my data is stored 🤷‍♀️
I have uninstalled, reinstalled and checked for updates all to no avail…
Anyone any idea how to fix this?

### 5/5 — Great food and easy ordering

*2026-02-02, version 3.1.1*

Great range of food from B-corp, high welfare, to organic and all easy to order on the app. Best are the veg and fruit boxes with limited to no plastic used. You really notice the difference in comparison to the amount of plastic from a supermarket shop - scary!

### 5/5 — So far excellent !

*2026-01-30, version 3.1.1*

I have just received my second box of organic veg and fruit - absolutely love the first two boxes - so fresh and tasty. Really enjoying experimenting with different vegetables  - never normally buy uncooked beetroot and today roasted the beetroot and it was delicious ! Cannot normally buy organic sweet potatoes locally and again the quality and taste is so much better. I’ve always brought as much organic as possible but the supermarket organic is no comparison to what I have had from Abel & Cole

### 5/5 — Organic Fanatic

*2026-01-26, version 3.1.1*

This is a great organic delivery company, tasty ethically farmed goodness straight to my door with a friendly smile 
Thank you!

### 1/5 — iPhone App is buggy

*2026-01-13, version 3.1.1*

Updated my regular order of almond milk next week (not this week) by one bottle and in the process of doing so it cancelled my order for this week.
