### 2/5 — Voucher disappears

*2025-07-23, version 5.4*

This is the second time one of my vouchers disappear. It happens when i have two free coffees. It remains two vouchers for a while and then eventually one disappears.

### 2/5 — QR payment doesn’t allow tip

*2023-02-28, version 2.9*

Irritating as I tried to add a large one (for Tristan) but the payment went through just for the original amount!

### 5/5 — Great coffee/friendly service

*2022-09-20, version 2.9*

And excellent eggs Benedict..!!

### 5/5 — Top service

*2022-08-24, version 2.9*

Excellent attentive service From Umran!!!

### 5/5 — Coffee coupons un-retrievable

*2022-02-23, version 2.6.1*

I really enjoy your coffee and like the idea of being rewarded when you by enough, but I've only ever been able to benefit from the “cash” i accumulate with each purchase, I've had two coffee coupons that i cant redeem.  And it looks like my first coupon has already expired..

### 5/5 — The camera is working

*2021-03-13, version 2.1*

Glad the camera has been sorted out. Thanks

### 1/5 — Camera on IOS??

*2021-03-06, version 2.0*

How do I allow access to my camera if the app doesnt have the option in settings? Not great guys.

### 2/5 — App install for discounts

*2020-12-20, version 1.6*

Had to install app to pay the bill for a running discount. Had to manually fill the detail to register instead of singing in through google or Apple ID.

### 1/5 — Unable to register

*2020-11-10, version 1.5*

The OTP never arrived. Then I waited 60sec to request another OTP and the authentication failed again. The requested a 3rd OTP and failed again. There is no support in the registration process.

### 1/5 — Most useless loyalty app ever

*2020-11-08, version 1.5*

So you supposed to be able to scan qr code after paying to earn loyalty points.. just to be told bill has expired?? Huh ever heard of usability testing

### 1/5 — Terrible interface

*2025-03-31, version 5.1*

This app is sooo over complicated… all I used it for is collecting the OG stickers.

I am a user in protest!!! 

And the all the rating and the notifications - what the heck!!!!! 

Shame the poor waiters (who are amazing) have to deal with grumpy customers due to an app that was designed soo badly. I just tell them it’s not their fault someone at HQ got a deal for one of their buddies at an app company.

### 1/5 — Unable to recover locked account

*2024-05-17, version 4.2*

I have followed instructions more than ten times to unlock my account but it won’t work. There is no app support available at all. Zero stars

### 1/5 — Account auto locked

*2024-05-12, version 4.2*

The pin reset does not work!

### 1/5 — Terrible Service

*2024-05-01, version 4.2*

We waited half an hour for our coffee order. Waiter who took our order just dissapeared.  Could only put in food order after repeatedly asking for  a waiter to serve us. Please go to Bootleggers in Cape Town and Stellenbosch and see what customer service is supposed to look like! Will not be back - many other restaurants in the area to choose from.

### 1/5 — My screen froze and vouchers take too long to download

*2024-04-11, version 4.1*

My screen froze and I had to delete my app and then Download it again.

Vouchers take a long time to download.

### 1/5 — Miss

*2024-01-19, version 4.0.2*

Don’t download this app, I sent my husband a R50 gift voucher as a test and he received his almost immediately. I sent another gift voucher of R400 to my mother in law on the 24 December 2023 and up till today the voucher does not appear on her app. Sent more than one email to their head office I have still not received feedback. I visited one of the restaurants and the store manager said that they would escalate the case. This app is not compatible with all mobile numbers, wish I had none before buying the voucher.

### 1/5 — False Hope!

*2023-07-25, version 3.0*

I was thrilled when I heard that Bootlegger now had an app. My joy was short-lived recently as I have never received any of my free coffees. My first free one ‘disappeared’ when I wanted to use it & again when my ‘voucher’ never appeared after my 10 coffees. Based on the reviews, I see this is a regular occurrence. Are you planning on resolving this or are you just using this app to secure our loyalty???

### 1/5 — App not great

*2023-07-08, version 3.0*

If your credit card details need to be updated,or you want to load a new card; you’re going to have trouble.At least I am experiencing the hassle of a dysfunctional App.

### 1/5 — Token scanning

*2023-04-11, version 3.0*

The scanning of the slip almost never works. Isn’t that the entire purpose of the app? I love bootleggers but this makes me sad.

### 1/5 — Invalid email

*2021-08-01, version 2.5*

Can’t register as not one of the 4 emails I entered works. Keeps saying it’s invalid, and 2 of these are gmail addresses. Pity cos I got to bootleggers quite a lot. Please fix this. I’ll gladly update my review if this app can at least accept an email address
