And it doesn’t seem to be accurate with my allowance. ### 3/5 — App bugs *2024-07-19, version 1.6.1* The first time I went to use the app after setting it up it won’t connect to the server and I can’t use my app at all, I’ve tried many times, restarting everything and yes my data is working with everything else. Smh this would be useful if it would work! ### 2/5 — Barcode scanner *2024-07-19, version 1.6.1* Barcode scanner in app is inaccurate. I scanned a gallon of milk in the app that said approved benefits and when I went to check out was not approved by my wic. inaccurate ### 1/5 — Can not register because of birth format useless app *2024-05-17, version 1.6.1* Struggling with app registration, its really a headache and waste of time. Zero rating. ### 1/5 — Cannot register on app *2024-04-07, version 1.6* Brings up dob format and it does not work ### 1/5 — App not working. Keeps saying session expired *2024-03-26, version 1.6* The app won’t even let me get to the point of typing in my email or password. It says session expired and kicks me off. It doesn’t need an update. And I even tried deleting and redownloading. Horrible app. ### 1/5 — Crashing, Crashing, Crashing *2024-03-26, version 1.6* I’ve been using this app since it’s been out, never had a problem until today, logged me out and when i attempted to log in, app crashed and took me back to my home screen, attempted again and says this super log thing about my account then proceeded to say “failed to get response from server.” Can’t log in to my account. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — No puedo realizar el registro *2024-03-08, version 1.6* No me permite realizar el registro. Ayuda ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2024-01-06, version 1.6* All my info in the wic system is correct but there is a glitch with the app when registering the birthday. It will tell u to enter your birthday in (mm/dd/yyyy) format and when you do (as there isn’t an option to do it otherwise) it’ll just keep telling you that u entered the wrong format, making you unable to even register. I deleted the app and redownload and called wic to confirm they had my correct birthday and nothing can be done it’s a software error with the app ### 1/5 — No sirve *2023-12-06, version 1.6* Tengo dos semanas que no me deja ingresar a mi cuenta, me borra la contraseña de mis contraseñas guardadas y al momento de querer cambiarla no me deja 😡 ### 1/5 — Loading issues *2023-10-15, version 1.6* I’ve struggled to get the app to load every time I use it, sometimes I can’t even log in because the app just freezes and kicks me out! There’s no update available nor is it a internet connection problem, it’s incredibly frustrating. ### 1/5 — App not working *2023-10-15, version 1.6* Hello the app is not working so it doesn’t really help when you can’t scan or know what you’re eligible for. ### 4/5 — Wic *2023-09-29, version 1.6* My app all of the sudden is not letting my login I have deleted redownload it and it’s still not working anyone else having this problem or no how to fix it ### 3/5 — The scanner doesn’t work *2023-08-31, version 1.6* Scanner part of the app doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-07-23, version 1.6* App not working / Card not going through either . Horrible app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2026-08-21, version 2.0* Stating user not found. I just got this log in 2 weeks ago. What’s going on??? ### 1/5 — Scan *2026-05-02, version 1.11.0* No longer lets me scan anything in the app which was really helpful cause not all stores have the same WIC approved items like Walmart for example ### 1/5 — Won’t let me login *2026-01-28, version 1.9.0* Keeps telling me user not found when I know I have the right info ### 1/5 — App crashes when doing birthday *2025-08-01, version 1.7.0* App constantly crashes when try to register so how am I supposed to register I tried using my info for the wic classes and it says no user found ### 1/5 — Glitch *2025-07-29, version 1.6.1* The app has a glitch when i try to register an account and i try to put my birth date the app glitches and goes completely off the app I tried on multiple devices it does the same thing i also tried deleting the app and downloading it back and powering off my devices it still wont work ### 1/5 — App is bugging *2025-01-30, version 1.6.1* I’m giving it a 1 star because it’s been almost a year and this app hasn’t been fixed The problem is I can’t login In or make a account ### 1/5 — Buggy, doesn’t work *2025-01-29, version 1.6.1* Can’t login. Doesn’t allow me to do anything. Tried deleting and reinstalling. Now won’t even let me type to add email address. Completely useless ### 1/5 — Scanner doesn’t work *2024-12-13, version 1.6.1* What users most struggle with is some items aren’t wic approved even though the app says so, and holding up the line because of this frustrating and embarrassing. Being able to scan beforehand would prevent any checkout issues, so it would be nice for this feature to be fixed asap. It’s been many many months now, hire someone who knows how to fix these app issues. ### 1/5 — Scanner Doesn’t Work *2024-11-20, version 1.6.1* Scanner doesn’t work at all. Keeps kicking me out ### 1/5 — Wic app *2024-07-25, version 1.6.1* Very flawed can’t login or register ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE THE APP *2023-08-23, version 1.6* absolutely love the entire app but what i love even more about it are the helpful tips that tell you how you can use your benefits to the fullest!!! ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2023-05-27, version 1.6* Keeps me update with appointments and all .
