### 2/5 — Password incorrect

*2026-05-27, version 4.12.1*

Made an account used it for a bit, app logged me out randomly, tried to log back in, it tells me the password isn’t correct, it’s literally saved in my phone only had one password for this account. Password reset option doesn’t work at all never got the email spam or regular inbox

### 3/5 — Love Aroma’s, app not so much

*2026-02-10, version 4.10.0*

I have enjoyed Aroma for a year now but recently have started using the rewards app. The point system is pretty rough, even worse than Starbucks and Dunkin. You have to spend 100 dollars to get 3 dollars off, not even a free drink? Not to mention if you “mobile order” it’s just doordash and you don’t even get the points for it. I love Aroma they have great coffee but the app lacks a good rewards system and mobile ordering should not be a third party.

### 2/5 — Rewards Issue

*2025-12-09, version 4.10.0*

app works relatively fine but i have probably dropped $100 on aj’s through this app yet i haven’t received a single point… i have contacted them twice with no response. and no email to contact them. only a form or to call them directly.

### 2/5 — Login issues.

*2025-11-15, version 4.10.0*

If i dont use this app for a month or more then for some reason it legit signs me out every time and im having to constantly log back in, i have no updates either

### 2/5 — Might as well not have an app

*2025-10-29*

The point system has totally went down which is super disappointing. I have to buy like 20 rushes in order to get a free one which maybe I am off but that’s what it feels like. Also it’s incredibly inconvenient that you are not allowed to use the app if it needs to be updated.

### 3/5 — App going downhill

*2025-05-13, version 3.43.0*

This app has gone down hill the past couple of years. They have just recently started having points expire which is horrible towards their customers who are coming in and paying with their own money for points. If I have spent the money I should not be losing the points.

### 4/5 — App issues

*2024-06-24, version 3.43.0*

I’ve been going to AJ’s for a few years now, and I’ve had absolutely no issues with the app until these last two updates. I have to constantly sign back into the app after it continuously kicks me out anywhere from 2-3 times per week. It would’ve been great if they’d have left the app the way it was before….

### 2/5 — Lots of opportunities for improvement

*2024-04-26, version 3.41.4*

The rewards are minimal. It’s absolutely stupid that when you pay with a gift card and have a remainder due, you can’t use the app, so you don’t get points. Considering you have to spend $100 for a $3 reward that doesn’t even cover most drinks, that should be fixed

### 4/5 — Cool and all butttt…

*2024-04-19, version 3.41.4*

Love aromas with all my heart but I’m not a huge fan of only using one reward at a time. I’ll give it 5 stars when we are able to do that.

### 1/5 — Update breaks core functionality.

*2024-04-10, version 3.41.4*

With the update in early 2024, this app no longer allows saving the QR code for scan-only situations.  Previously I had the QR code added to Apple Wallet so it would show up on my Lock Screen and watch automatically when in the vicinity of my local home store.  Now that the code cycles every 10 minutes, that is no longer possible.  This app is useless to me until this glaring oversight is corrected.  I suggest everyone who wants Apple Wallet Integration please contact technical support.

### 2/5 — Useless

*2024-04-09, version 3.41.2*

I purchased an online fuel card once. Can’t do it again. Now I can’t even sign in, create an account, nothing.
App is useless.

### 4/5 — Saved payment issue V3.41.2.57

*2024-03-24, version 3.41.2*

The new app seems to be really cool! 

However I am not able to save the credit card I used in the old app as my default payment method in the new app. 

I managed to save a card I know I didn't use in the old version of the app, but the card I want to use is unable to be added. Hope this can be fixed soon! ☕️

### 4/5 — Rewards system

*2024-03-19, version 3.41.1*

I’m surprised not more people are talking about how tough the rewards system is. You have to spend $100 for $3 reward…. That’s not even 1 drink or sandwich. 
I love Ajs and have supported them for years.
I feel like we at LEAST deserve to get breakfast sandwich or a rush ($6-$8 dollar Reward) after spending $100!

When I want a coffee or specialty drink I find myself going to Dunkin' or McDonald’s more often now to treat myself, NOT because I like it better but because I can get rewards and coupons that make the splurge a bit easier on the wallet.

### 1/5 — Can’t access app

*2024-03-17, version 3.4.3*

So the app underwent an upgrade and now neither me nor my husband can access the app. I have deleted and reinstalled multiple times. It won’t allow me to sign in or even set up a new account. Both of us have rewards points we can’t access. I can’t get support help either. Help!!

### 1/5 — The app

*2024-03-17, version 3.4.3*

The app will not let me sign in and won’t work I deleted it and redownloaded it and still won’t work

### 1/5 — Ajs app

*2024-03-17, version 3.4.3*

App no longer works list all my rewards I've been saving can't get signed back in since the new update.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-03-16, version 3.4.3*

Since the update, I haven’t been able to get into the app. Seems broken

### 1/5 — App was supposed to be updated, now just doesn’t work

*2024-03-16, version 3.4.3*

App says it was supposed to be updated by March 14th, still is completed glitched.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Error

*2026-06-09, version 4.12.1*

Can’t log back in after being kicked out. Keep getting error even though my password is saved for that app. Sucks cause I use the app to pay and I wanted my free birthday drink. Oh well guess I can’t buy anything from here till they fix this issue.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-05-21, version 4.12.1*

Can’t even order using the app anymore. The button at the bottom to order is obstructed by items. Can’t click it.

### 1/5 — i love aroma joes but this app is awful

*2026-05-10, version 4.12.1*

UI makes it so that the button to order is hidden behind the bottom navigation pane. Any orders placed through the app go through doordash and don't give you rewards points. Also you need to spend $100 just for $3 off. Really disappointing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-06, version 4.12.1*

App no longer works and I have 2 unauthorized charges. Can’t contact them - just keep getting error messages.

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2026-05-03, version 4.12.1*

AJs is great but their app sucks so much. Why don’t I get points for ordering for drive thru pickup on the app? Why is milk not an option while ordering coffee on here for the Merrimack location? Such garbage. If you had a better system for ordering ahead, I’d go WAY more often - but this is so frustrating that I’d rather just get subpar coffee at Dunkin instead because it takes way less time and at least I get points there. FIX YOUR APP

### 1/5 — Can’t order an Americano

*2025-12-05, version 4.10.0*

I can order an Americano in the store, but there is no option to do so on the app.

### 1/5 — Awful company

*2025-10-17, version 4.7.1*

Having a system to contact individual locations and not the head office is a major flaw.  Continuance of this company disregarding their workers and only caring about profit.  Let’s give away another vacation though, terrible people

### 1/5 — App

*2025-06-17, version 3.43.0*

The app keeps malfunctioning and I have had to change my password too many times and I contact them and they say it’s the updates so I should delete and reinstall it. They need to fix their app. I have lost alt of points due to their app malfunctioning. Staff and coffee great but they might want to consider replacing their computer techs if they can’t get it right.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign back in

*2025-04-03, version 3.43.0*

After the update I have been unable to sign in lot my account. I have contacted support several times and they tell me the problem is resolved….but it’s definitely not. Now my account is locked with no chance for recovery. I used to love the app but now I can’t even use all my rewards or the gift card balance I had on it.

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2024-06-28, version 3.43.0*

Who approved this giant step backward?  Fire that person. You made every aspect worse for me and your sales people. What’s the matter with you?

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-08-01, version 4.5.2*

It’s great just wish you would get rewards for online orders aswell

### 5/5 — People can’t read

*2024-03-17, version 3.4.3*

It’s amazing that people are complaining about the app not working, DUH, they ate still working on it. So of course your app isn’t working right now. 
Didn’t anyone read any of the emails that have been posted???

### 5/5 — Fantastic service

*2024-02-29, version 3.4.3*

Love the coffee and the service is awesome!

### 5/5 — Yes

*2023-05-13, version 3.1.0*

Grateful

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-04-26, version 3.1.0*

Makes ordering a rush

### 5/5 — New Rewards

*2023-03-16*

Very impressed with the variety of options of rewards with the new update! Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Awesome does what it needs

*2022-12-06, version 2.0.0*

Other than offering order ahead the app is great! I’m able to pay, load and use coupons efficiently! Easy to use and if I’ve had an issue the customer service was ways to use!

### 5/5 — The criticism is right, but the app is still good.

*2022-12-02, version 2.0.0*

People have a point about the mobile ordering- But that’s harder to do than people think. Setting that up is going to require a lot of integration not just in the app, but in the stores as well. The biggest criticism I have on the app, is that it doesn’t have a dark mode. How good would the Aroma Joe’s app look in black?

### 5/5 — I love my gals!!

*2022-07-30, version 2.0.0*

I love my gals at the Greenland, NH location!! They know just what I want, have it ready, and always with a smile!! The coffee and food are great too!

### 5/5 — Linda nestor

*2022-01-16, version 2.0.0*

I can’t have anything but aroma Joe’s ice coffee I love it so much and every one is so nice that works there
