### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-26, version 2.1.5*

Thank you!

### 1/5 — Why

*2026-06-06, version 2.1.5*

I can know longer use my IPad to go on line to find my balance why?

### 3/5 — Great but..

*2026-05-20, version 2.1.5*

I love this way better than the coupons and the fact you scan items to check if eligible, however I hate that it kicks you out of the scanner/app so fast and you have to sign all back in constantly especially annoying when shopping

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-05-07, version 2.1.5*

It’s a decent app except it’s annoying having to log back in every 5 minutes while using it. It would be nice if they could add a Face ID

### 2/5 — Plz fix app

*2026-05-05, version 2.1.5*

It’s great that it lets you know what’s left on the card but it’s not practical beings that you have to login every five minutes because it kicks you off. Also, it might be a good idea to combine this app with the new interactive WIC website that came out that tells you things that are wic approved so like when you click on grains, it’ll tell you things from your store that is approved. But PLZ fix i’m tired of getting kicked out every five minutes or every time I close the app.

### 1/5 — This app is trash

*2026-04-16, version 2.1.5*

This app never wants to scan anything. It doesn’t give me options. If something should be on the list and isn’t it doesn’t give me like secondary choices. It’s very bland and very not well put together. I used to live in Kentucky and their app is great. This one sucks.

### 1/5 — Absolutely frustrating

*2026-04-12, version 2.1.5*

As much as I love that there is an app that I can use to see what is approved by wic. I haven’t been able to see store locator where wic is approved in almost a year now. The barcode scanner now doesn’t work. On top of that I can never tell what is approved and what isnt. I usually have to google what products are accepted and sometimes I’m lucky that it is but most of the time I’m not so lucky and have to pay out of pocket. I can’t get through support ever and whenever I ask the wic office they tell me their same frustrations with the app too hand me a printed out sheet that still doesn’t show me what brands are approved or not approved. Because I swear I will scan so many items that have the description of amount of oz and it ends up not being the correct product.

### 2/5 — Phone number change…

*2026-03-29, version 2.1.5*

Wish there was an easier way to update the phone number originally used to access the app but those of us who have lost access to the original numbers are unable to use this app

### 3/5 — Scanner doesn’t work

*2026-03-26, version 2.1.5*

While this app is great for balances, the scanner hasn’t worked in months

### 1/5 — Scan don’t work

*2026-03-25, version 2.1.5*

Scanner not working
