### 2/5 — K

*2026-03-03, version 2.0.1*

Hi I can’t sign in to account it won’t update

### 2/5 — 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

*2026-02-22, version 2.0.0*

Does not always work and slow us down!!

### 3/5 — What is the point of the app?

*2026-02-01, version 1.8.31*

You cannot see what store has what stock in. You ring up and they will not tell you. So you waste fuel driving to the store/s only to find they don’t even stock items! It would be helpful if you could buy on the app or do more than just see would you ‘could have’ had!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2025-10-15, version 1.8.27*

It’s a useful app when it works but the scanner (which is the main reason I use it) has been broken for a while now. I’ve done everything to check that it’s not an issue on my end so at the minute, the app is just pointless to me

### 1/5 — They don’t have points card and collect points and people ar spending so much without any benefit

*2025-05-05, version 1.8.26*

They don’t have point card to collect affter people spending so much money and stuff from bm Liskeard they so rude and uneducated

### 1/5 — Ohh!

*2025-03-13, version 1.8.24*

No delivery. No good

### 3/5 — I love this app, but it’s not working

*2025-03-10, version 1.8.24*

Every time I try to go onto my favourites list to order something out of my favourites, I can’t find my favourites and then when I press on the love heart which takes you to favourites my phone freezes the app is not working. Can you fix this please?

### 2/5 — 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

*2025-01-25, version 1.8.24*

Does not always work and slow us down!!

### 1/5 — No online ordering?

*2024-11-11, version 1.8.23*

I created an account to try and order some things online but was unable to do this. Isn’t this the main point of apps?

### 1/5 — What is the point ??

*2024-10-25, version 1.8.23*

No point in the app. Why don’t you launch an app that actually allows you to save money and collect points.

### 1/5 — No stock check option

*2024-10-15, version 1.8.23*

They should bring back stock check .

### 1/5 — Barcode scanner not working

*2024-08-23, version 1.8.22*

What’s the point if it’s not working…..?

### 1/5 — Can’t view products

*2024-08-08, version 1.8.22*

Just downloaded app and the product pages don’t work.

### 1/5 — Useless and prices are different as advertised

*2024-08-08, version 1.8.22*

No need to download this app as they would not accept the price at the till. Prices are always different as advertised. This app doesn’t work at all!

### 1/5 — Comes up blank

*2024-07-26, version 1.8.22*

I love the store so I downloaded the app and it simply doesn’t work. Anything I click on comes up blank. Useless. Literally!

### 4/5 — Great For Scanning

*2024-07-15, version 1.8.22*

Great app for browsing and scanning in in-store to check prices. 

To improve the app, I would suggest that you include a stock checker to avoid wasted journies to stores, only to find an item is not in stock.

### 1/5 — You type in the items you want to find and you get entirely different results

*2026-08-08, version 2.0.5*

You type in the items you want to find and you get entirely different results

### 1/5 — App

*2026-07-12, version 2.0.5*

Cannot access app despite several attempts USELESS.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.5*

Just tells me the full price of items when I scan the barcode in store,  even when I know that item is reduced. I got the app because my b&m often don’t get round to putting the correct reduced price on the shelf.

### 1/5 — Dont waste your time

*2026-06-20, version 2.0.5*

Abysmal!!!!

### 1/5 — Scanning and searching does not work!

*2026-05-20, version 2.0.3*

After app refreshment and update none of its useful functionality (such as search and production scanning) work! I used to love it as it helped with checking prices of items which were wrongly labelled or put in the wrong places in the shop. Shame 😳

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-04-24, version 2.0.3*

Just reinstalled this app  as it stopped after a break. It still does not work. Just hangs showing with throbbing B&M logo. Thankfully I can still use things called shops 🤣

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t load

*2026-04-09, version 2.0.2*

Doesn’t load just a B&M screensaver at this point

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-04-04, version 2.0.2*

The app doesn’t work in fact even this review section doesn’t work properly.
I would strongly suggest don’t you tested properly to ensure it is working before wasting peoples time with an inferior app?
I love using your store. I’m in there every couple of days, but I am extremely disappointed with your app because it is taken of hours of my time trying to get it to work.

### 1/5 — RUBBISH

*2025-10-27, version 1.8.27*

This app is absolutely rubbish, doesn’t work and hasn’t been updated in ages 🤷🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2025-10-01, version 1.8.27*

The app seems to be okay but it just keeps refusing to sign me in, no matter how much I try to em reset my password. 

I use Apple passwords too when I reset my password so I know when save it so I know that the password I am using is definitely correct and it still refuses to let me sign in, saying that my username and passwords don’t match their records, which makes no sense because how can they send me a password reset link in a email if my email and password are not on their records?

This needs fixing asap but for now might just stick to using the website for now as this app isn’t very useful

### 5/5 — OMG amazing

*2026-02-01, version 1.8.31*

### 5/5 — Good shop

*2024-08-13, version 1.8.22*

Amazing

### 5/5 — Tiverton Store

*2023-09-24, version 1.8.15*

I bought 12 packs of adhesive tiles from barnstaple store. Needed 5 more. Unfortunately, B&M do not have a facility to check store stock After friends and myself checked out  Bideford,  Cheltenham and Exeter stores with no luck I turned up at Tiverton.  I found David, a very helpful employee who took the time to check stock in the warehouse where he found after moving 3 pallets - 8 boxes.  You have no idea how happy I was as I had almost given up hope and conceded to return what I had to get my money back.  
B&M you have an amazing employee in Tiverton!

### 5/5 — Shopperholic

*2022-12-14, version 1.8.06*

The B&M app helps me out a lot when it comes to searching for things I need or just browsing through the deals! Also the scanner helps me out when I’m in a store to look at prices and stuff

### 5/5 — Slow loading

*2022-10-29*

Lately had to delete to reinstall as getting blink screen on where photos meant to be.  
Can be slow at times but all is good.

### 5/5 — Password won’t work

*2022-03-13*

My original password doesn’t work so reset it a few times but still won’t accept new password

### 5/5 — Rien à reprocher à cette appli

*2020-07-07*

Tout est parfait pour moi, appli super simple à utiliser 
Je recommande ! Allez y en fermant les yeux vraiment

### 5/5 — Great app. Easy to navigate around.

*2018-05-11*

This app is wonderful. Easy to navigate around and see what special offers are on.
But the main thing I like is the barcode scanner. Been running round the house to see how much I’ve wasted at other shops buying stuff.
Also can’t wait until birthday/Christmas time and my mum tells me she’s spent a lot of money on my stuff so I best enjoy it. Only to get home and scan the barcode to find out she spent £3.99 at B&M.
Wish other shops/stores would do the same with apps

### 4/5 — Barecodes don’t scan

*2026-02-19, version 2.0.0*

Item cannot be found apparently very annoying and reading comments before this seems like reoccurring issue. Please fix it Thankyou.
