### 5/5 — The Way of Kings

*2025-12-04, version 1.13.0*

This is such a cheat code.  I’ve used it twice now, basically cutting ENORMOUS lines to waltz right out the door after a five minute super self checkout using this app.  Super easy to use, your camera acts as a barcode scanner and beeps with every scan.  Pay with Apple Pay, receipt emailed to you as you laugh your way out the door while the giant lines of people watch you with jealous jaws on the floor.  This Is The Way.

### 1/5 — No good

*2025-10-06, version 1.12.0*

After updating had to redo all my information, and then take a selfie, what the heck

### 3/5 — Streamline the Process

*2025-09-25, version 1.11.0*

The express app is excellent.  Having separate apps which are not integrated diminishes the experience.  If I have $ rewards I can’t use them in the express app I have to go through the checkout process.   If I have offers I need to go to another app to find them and load them.  Please integrate these apps

### 3/5 — Cool Idea

*2025-09-20, version 1.11.0*

The idea of being able to go grocery shopping without having to transfer things from my cart to the self checkout scanner to the bag in a very small area is super appealing to me. However, it kind of defeats the purpose when every other time I use this app or every two times I use this app I get “ randomly selected” for my order to be checked and for my items to be pulled out of my bag in an even small smaller area anyways. Fortunately, the people who work at my local store are very chill and try to make the process as painless as possible but good lord, why even have this app if I’ve got to pull my stuff all out at the end anyways?

### 5/5 — Makes shopping faster

*2025-08-28, version 1.11.0*

Scan items with your app, walk up and Apple Pay, walk out. Simple. Quick

### 5/5 — Super easy & quick

*2025-07-15, version 1.11.0*

This is the easiest way to shop! I finally started using the app and it is absolutely wonderful.

### 1/5 — Big y app

*2025-03-03, version 1.11.0*

Worst app I’ve ever encountered. Tried to install several times and it never works after entering all required information. Just more annoying garbage that substandard grocery stores like big y and stop and shop inflict on their customers. They should take a page from market basket’s operations manual because shopping there is 100 times more enjoyable an experience.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-01-27, version 1.11.0*

App works great. Even better than Stop & Shop.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything

*2025-01-19, version 1.11.0*

Doesn’t do anything except give directions

### 5/5 — Gigantic Time Saver

*2024-12-22, version 1.11.0*

You know when you are starting your holiday baking and you realize you don’t have enough powdered sugar for the icing recipe? The myExpress Checkout app is a godsend! Hit your Big Y, find what you need, scan as you go! No lines, no waiting!! This app has only increased my Big Y loyalty. Get it. You won’t regret it!
