### 1/5 — Do not use

*2026-08-16, version 5.557.0*

I did a full trolley worth of shopping only for it to lose connection at the checkout and completely emptying the basket forcing me to go to the regular checkout. Absolute waste of time

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-08-11, version 5.557.0*

Wasted our time setting up and using as it didn’t work at the checkout point, just left us hanging

### 1/5 — No email sent don't bother

*2026-08-07, version 5.557.0*

Tried logging in with my account needs a new password no email sent. Created a new account different email and no email sent. 

What a load of rubbish.

### 1/5 — Decent until you actually want to checkout

*2026-07-05, version 5.556.0*

App is good as you go around and makes the shop easier until the point you scan the qr code at the tip and it provides you a barcode only to then error when scanning the barcode and having to then put the full shop through a till 🤬

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-17, version 5.543.0*

Used the app for the first time today for a big shop. Got to the till to pay and when scanning the QR code the app kept displaying an error message saying “something went wrong”. My shopping had to be unpacked and scanned through a till. Total waste of time. Asda staff says they see this issue every day.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-04-01, version 5.543.0*

Installed and tried on my first ever visit to Asda as I wasn’t sure if they had hand scanners. (Just moved and Asda is now my local). I like to buy loose items like limes to save on plastic but it never picked up the barcodes on any loose items. (Maybe because the barcode is behind the plastic label on the shelf and there’s an air gap?) tried pushing the plastic in but still no help. Other things with small barcodes such as Feta did not get picked up and I’m not sitting there typing in barcodes like a muppet. Just stopped scanning and used self checkout in the end. I have an iPhone 15 so it’s not like the camera’s bad. Tried wiping the lens etc but realised the app is just awful.

### 2/5 — Rate Limit Exceeded

*2026-03-27, version 5.543.0*

New update stopped working and kept saying that the rate limit was exceeded and try later. Staff in branch didn’t know what to do but luckily I’d done most of my shopping, otherwise I would’ve left it.

### 1/5 — Amatuer software

*2026-02-09, version 5.543.0*

Just a heads up as the software creator has obviously never been shopping, a shopping list facility requires the ability to add items into the middle of a list and be able to move them up and down so they are in the same order as they are on the shop floor, this only gives the ability to add to the end neither use nor ornament.

### 1/5 — Update is worse than the previous version

*2026-02-04, version 5.543.0*

I was forced to update my app and it barely scanned the items I was trying to get. I ended getting the few things I was able to scan and not bother coming back to Asda. They have about 2 manned tills and all the other ones are self scan. I don’t have time to wait 20 minutes in a line after work. I got the rest of my shopping from another store.

### 3/5 — Good overall

*2026-01-29, version 5.543.0*

The scan and go app is a great idea overall but it does have a few problems.
1. the scanning of barcodes became more difficult after an update.
2. Sometimes the app freezes and then all my shopping disappears (not very often)
3. No integration of the Asda rewards card which is my main annoyance (Tesco have the clubcard integrated, Waitrose has the loyalty card integrated so why can’t you?)
