Have to enter your password every single time to use it. It’s a long process to add funds to your account. Either manually type your card info in or request a PIN number emailed to you that you’ll need to enter. After doing what you need to do in the app it dims your phone screen completely. I just added $10, it shows it in my balance, but when I go to pay it says I don’t have the money in there. Works when it wants to I highly suggest not using this app ### 2/5 — Needs fixing *2025-03-02, version 3.2* It was doing well for a while, but then it kept glitching and now you can’t even reload it or add a payment method on the app and when you try to go to support, it says page not found I can no longer put money onto my account through the appPlease fix this. ### 1/5 — Dim screen *2024-12-17, version 3.2* I hate that my screen dims. Then trying to find my settings so that I can turn it back up to see it. ### 1/5 — Needs fixing *2024-12-01, version 3.2* App or website does not let you log in. It's slow on both platforms and dims your phones brightness ### 1/5 — To many issues to list *2024-11-13, version 3.2* My main issue is that when you close out of the app it causes the phone to dim its screen brightness all the way down. I feel like this shouldn’t even be an option how does this app have that kind of access to the settings? ### 1/5 — Poor experience *2024-06-10, version 3.2* Won’t store password. Won’t use Face ID. Won’t remember stored payment info. Won’t allow auto pay to update. Very frustrating app ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-06-09, version 3.2* I downloaded the app because I forgot my card, and I’m HUNGRY, and I can’t buy anything because the app won’t allow me to input my card info. Fire all the developers, this is TRASH ### 1/5 — It really is that bad *2024-04-30, version 3.2* I’d say this app was written by interns but that would be an insult to interns. No ability to save password, use Face ID, screen dims to zero when leaving certain screens and credit card info disappeared one day. When trying to add it back, just get a blank screen. Been going on for weeks. Oh, I did get dumped into a Visa Pay sandbox, “not for production use” a couple times too. Suggest you stick with the physical key tag cards. ### 1/5 — App needs an update *2024-04-25, version 3.2* Got new vending machines at work. Brochure on them is to get this app. Figured using an app wouldn’t hurt. But no. It dims my screen (iOS 17.4.1) and most of the functions do not work. Devs, please look into it. ### 1/5 — Background light *2024-02-10, version 3.2* The app functions well. Only problem that is very annoying is when you close out of the app it darkens, the screen of your phone, you have to go into settings and bring the light back to the screen. It’s very annoying.!!!! ### 1/5 — Do NOT USE THIS APP. SCAMMERS! *2023-12-13, version 3.2* Pure junk. ### 1/5 — Problems with app *2023-11-18, version 3.2* It dims my screen every time I close out the app. I have to log into the app every time I open it and it won’t save my log in credentials. ### 1/5 — Charged me for an item i removed from cart *2023-10-23, version 3.2* More a review of Avanti than the app. If I could give them 0 stars I would. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2023-10-16, version 3.2* App doesn’t even work, loaded $10 just to have the machine tell me unrecognized bar code. Just lost 10 bucks. ✌️ ### 1/5 — Updates Needed *2023-10-01, version 3.2* The issues with this app are well noted and listed in reviews for over a year. No updates from the creator. ### 1/5 — The dimming??? *2023-07-19, version 3.2* Why would this app be able to dim your settings at all? And why does it turn that all the way down??? It happens only when you aren’t using your account to buy something, almost like a punishment haha. Just fix it, jfc. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Repeated attempts to login failed *2026-04-01, version 3.2* I am able to login with a browser but it fails repeatedly on the app. I have a balance I cannot access to use at the kiosk. Horrible app design. Doesn’t autofill email from saved passwords on Apple wallet either. ### 1/5 — Fix it already! *2026-03-04, version 3.2* The slowest most buggy app for paying. It messes up screen brightness, freezes, won’t let you auto-reload, takes multiple attempts to reload funds, and it is generally easier to pay with a card or Apple pay at the kiosk. ### 1/5 — Can’t reload *2026-02-18, version 3.2* Can’t reload or add new card ### 1/5 — 2026 update *2026-01-28, version 3.2* app is still garbage ### 1/5 — Can’t add card info *2025-09-25, version 3.2* This app is trash. I can never add a new payment method due to internal server error. Also why does my screen go black every time im using it. Fix your app already, it’s been years ### 1/5 — Straight up trash *2025-06-21, version 3.2* See title ### 1/5 — Truly unusable *2025-05-28, version 3.2* This app is filled to the brim with the most basic of issues. Why would you trust it to facilitate a transaction when its designers don't even know not to put white text on a white background? I reloaded my balance only to find that my kiosk cannot scan the app's barcode display. So I tried linking my account to a physical card. Once completed, I paid with the card and discovered the card has its own separate balance, and I just paid for nothing. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — So bad. Useless. Worse than just using Apple Pay. *2025-05-01, version 3.2* Forces you to login every time and somehow won’t autofill password, hits a server error when you try to add a card for auto-reload. Can’t add your barcode to your wallet. Garbage. ### 1/5 — Messy *2025-04-29, version 3.2* A messy app, some buttons/links don’t work. Signing in every break is annoying. A lot of bugs, will boot you out and tell you password incorrect and then password never sends anything. Locking you out of your money. Screen dimming. These things have been problems for years and are extremely easy to fix. They do not care. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-24, version 3.2* Hasn’t worked to reload in a long time. Completely useless. Cant even use my own money on it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy. Quick. Convenient *2020-10-01, version 3.1* I can load balances with my phone and get lunch quick with no delay! ### 5/5 — App works for me! *2020-10-01, version 3.1* This app is handy and works well for me- not seeing my the issues others are saying. ### 5/5 — Excellent A+++ *2020-09-25, version 3.1* Very user friendly. Doesn’t support Apple Pay but you can still pay through app. ### 5/5 — Fast, Easy, Convenient! *2017-09-05, version 2.1.2* Amazed with Avanti Markets and it's convenience. The app is super simple to download and set up! Being able to manage everything from your phone is awesome! Love the company and love the product. ### 5/5 — Please renew your domain site *2017-08-07, version 2.1.2* Your app won't work unless it's updated your site for the app needs to be renewed ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2015-12-29, version 1.0.1* Secure with password, scans easy at kiosk, easy to get help and add $ onto account. ### 4/5 — First time user *2016-05-02, version 2.0* Very easy, simple, and fast. Would like to see finger print recognition added instead of the PIN or a link to the Apple Wallet. ### 3/5 — Needs works *2025-09-24, version 3.2* The app works okay, wish they would allow Face ID to login, also it would be nice to use Apple Pay to reload your account. Lastly there is a bug where when you login the screen will go really dim. ### 3/5 — Good but *2025-01-15, version 3.2* I’ve used the app for over a year now. Simple. But I wish the developers could change when I leave the app it doesn’t turn my screen brightness almost to zero every single time. ### 3/5 — Need better customer service *2022-06-23, version 3.1* Its not recognizing my password. I have sent MANY PASSWORD RESET VIA EMAIL and I am still waiting for a reset. Fix that. I might have to give feedback to get money back since I have not been able to use it at all!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
