### 3/5 — App locked up

*2026-08-15, version 2.58.1*

Made the mistake of selecting delivery. Now the app is locked up and I can't use it. Oh well, WF will deliver.

### 2/5 — Not compatible with IOS15?

*2026-06-06, version 2.54.0*

The app should be compatible with all smartphones. I tried to download the App on my IPhone7 Could not. Luckily I have a newer IPAD Pro and can download it there, but I have to take a picture of the barcode with my IPHONE7😳 not sure if it will work. It might. Also you should be able to put your phone number in at the register to access your account as backup.  At WFDS you can.

### 3/5 — Always out of item you order

*2026-04-16, version 2.50.0*

It’s a waste of my time to use this app and shop at Central Market. They sell you things they don’t have in stock. It’s easier to shop WF instead because they don’t sell you things you can’t get. I always have to supplement my shopping with an additional order from WF because just like today, Central market sells things they don’t have. Why bother? Heading to the AMZ app to supplement my Central Market order. Dear Central Market - it’s easy, stop selling things you don’t actually have in stock.

### 3/5 — No option to share lists

*2026-02-19, version 2.47.1*

This is an HEB option, but not central market? What’s up with that?

### 3/5 — Poor service

*2026-01-21*

UPDATE after I called all of a sudden they have my order ready. When I arrived there was not one other car in the curbside parking, not one!!! But they felt the need to tell me my order wouldn’t be on time.…… I’m finding fewer and fewer reasons to use Central market. The shoppers don’t follow the instructions in the notes and they fail to honor pick-up times. They’re too busy today for a timely pickup but their competitor WF, can have my groceries ready for pickup in 30 minutes.

### 2/5 — Useless at the register

*2026-01-11, version 2.46.0*

I love Central Market and was excited about using the app to access digital coupons and offers. However, I will be deleting the app because it’s useless. When I add digital offers to use in the store, they don’t work. I was told by more than one employee that I have to add the offers days in advance in order for them to scan. That defeats the point of using the app in the store.

### 4/5 — Recipe!!

*2026-01-02, version 2.46.0*

Why the recipe section is gone…..

### 3/5 — Annoyed

*2025-10-10, version 2.43.0*

If you want to piss me off, force me to update the app when I go to use it. Updating an app on MY phone should be MY choice. I don’t like being bullied or forced to make an app update.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t scan at register

*2025-08-17, version 2.40.0*

I love shopping at CM and i prefer to go inside and see the produce and seafood to get ideas.  I avoided trying the app for a while, but finally tried it.  The first time it would not scan at the register.  The checker shrugged.  “Sometimes it doesn’t work”.  The next time it seemed to work, but I had not manually added offers.  The third time, it would not scan at self checkout.   The app looks like it might be good at placing pick orders, but for going inside it has only been annoying so far.

### 2/5 — Mediocre so far

*2025-07-25, version 2.39.0*

It would be nice to be able to clip a coupon at the register and use it right away when you check out and not have the delay of a few hours for it to be functional.

### 2/5 — Past orders

*2025-05-12, version 2.36.0*

Suddenly can’t add past orders to cart, use app for my business, so many bugs, frustrating.

### 2/5 — You never get what you order

*2025-04-22, version 2.35.0*

Today there were 3 substitutions and I only ordered 6 items. Over $150 order. This app offers things not in stock.  It’s quite irritating

### 2/5 — Frustrating coupon delays + incorrect product locations

*2025-03-19, version 2.34.0*

It's great that they finally added coupons to the app, but I along with others have had to wait 20 minutes between the time they are clipped and when they're actually available to use at the register. Trying to clip and use them right before checkout has been a no-go.

In addition, I've often experienced products listed in the wrong location in the app. For example, Delallo gluten-free lasagna noodles are listed as being on aisle 3b but are in fact in the healthy living department. This is just one example.

If these two issues were addressed, I would be much more likely to use the app and give it a much higher rating!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No Cart Option

*2026-07-18, version 2.57.0*

Recent update has completely broken the app. Order function has disappeared, and you have to create a new shopping list every time you want to add something to the list. This app is what I use to plan meals and shop for groceries and is now completely unusable.

### 1/5 — Weak app

*2026-07-04, version 2.56.0*

This app stinks on my iPad.  Nothing works

### 1/5 — CANNOT USE THE APP

*2026-06-09, version 2.49.1*

You have updated where I can only use the App if my phone has 17 iOS!  Well, it doesn’t, so I can’t use the app anymore and that is very frustrating and inconvenient!!

### 1/5 — Codes

*2026-04-23, version 2.51.0*

I don’t care what your policy is, it’s not your phone and I want to screenshot the codes because I can’t get internet in the store sometimes and have no way to access the codes. Horrible.

### 1/5 — Must inspect as they load into the trunk

*2026-02-02, version 2.47.0*

There are a few excellent people at curbside in Southlake. Unfortunately there are also the ones who don’t care about what they do. Lately those are the people I seem to be dealing with. I ordered low sodium V-8 and received full sodium. It seems to be the rule that I receive wrong items now. If I continue to shop at Central Market I’ll have to check everything as they load it.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-12-03, version 2.45.0*

Can’t open today. Crashes every time.

### 1/5 — Out of stock

*2025-07-17, version 2.38.0*

Every order I make there is  at least 30% of my items out of stock. 1. They don’t have a system to reserve specifically for me, the items I order at the time I place the order. 2. They ignore my substitution choices and use whatever the shopper wants.   I want to support HEB, but if I use this curbside system it means they push substandard or unwanted items on me 30% of the time.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-06-22, version 2.37.0*

I’m sorry, as much as I love to shop at CM and wanted to use your app, it seems quite useless. On iPhone, non responsive in so many areas and just not worth the trouble. Horrible developers.

### 1/5 — Coupons don’t work

*2025-06-14, version 2.37.0*

Coupons don’t work. Despite clipping them and scanning the barcodes at checkout discounts are not applied. It worked in the past, but it’s been broken for ~2 months

### 1/5 — Tired of unacceptable subs

*2025-01-03, version 2.32.1*

CM routinely subs things I did not allow in the notes. I can’t read the subs they make because they’re with whites out or so small I can’t tell what they used. I’m tired of paying for food I won’t eat. I will no longer do business with Central market

*2025-10-25, version 2.44.0*

Deliveries always timely. Always notified upon delivery. Orders always fresh, correct and substitutions appropriate. Never any damaged or out of date products. First Class, White Glove service at a most reasonable charge.

### 5/5 — My favorite store now has a great app

*2025-01-29, version 2.33.1*

Love central market and now they have an app that is easy to use and fun to navigate. Very user friendly.  As a product manager for QSR’s and Grocery, i love it.  Would love to work with this team as they nailed it. 
Excited especially to be able to add further discounts for a transaction.

### 5/5 — Great app!
