### 2/5 — A few improvements

*2026-02-01, version 3.37.610136*

Include apple pay payments, theres currently no option to save cards. Constantly having to type in card information. More app based offers please. And stop with the loyalty resets.
I repeat, from the response I received, NO! There is NO way to save card details and there is no APPLE PAY compatibility, look into this again. I have tried every single way. Reducing my rating for the ignorant response.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-05, version 3.37.610136*

Doesn’t work in Central MK. Very poor.

### 3/5 — A few improvements

### 1/5 — Lot of bugs, local store not listed

*2025-09-23, version 3.14.1167*

Message for developers- please add the Gants Hill branch to the app. It has been open for a couple of years but still hasn’t been added! I’ve been waiting for it.

The gps locator doesn’t work when I click on it to locate my local store and every branch says 0.0 miles away- there’s no accurate distance location.

### 2/5 — Membership rewards not working

*2025-09-11, version 3.14.1167*

Membership vouchers/ rewards etc are not working.

### 4/5 — Free Chai Scam

*2025-07-18, version 3.12.11161*

Downloaded the app at Brighton Chaiiwala to get A free karak chai. Minimum order of £10 is required for the voucher to apply. Sadly the person at the till didn’t give us the free chai even though it was appearing on our order list. Sad and disappointing.

### 1/5 — Loyalty rewards

*2025-07-17, version 3.12.11161*

Not sure any store allows you to collect any rewards! It’s a real shame as this could be easily fixed and promoted

### 1/5 — Fraudulent/ scam

*2025-06-23, version 3.01.1135*

In the advertisement doesn’t say any terms and conditions for free karak tea.
The requirement was only to download the app to get the free tea. But when I went up to the counter the staff said you have to order minimum 15£ to get the free tea.

### 1/5 — Didn’t give me free tea

*2025-06-20, version 3.01.1135*

Very poor app

### 1/5 — Poor UI

*2025-05-30, version 2.99.1107*

Very clunky user interface and I didn’t get the promised free drink. Also missing ability to pay via Apple Pay

### 3/5 — Beckton branch of Chaiiwala not included

*2025-04-26, version 2.87.1070*

Quite annoying I wanted to make an order for collection but the app doesn’t include them for some reason

### 3/5 — Lots of personal details to order

*2025-03-03, version 2.62.939*

The app is good and helpful however you need to minimise the data needed for a customer to order, name surname email and phone number are too many details, email is enough and one name is enough.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2025-02-16, version 2.62.939*

Registered and tried ordering for the first time and the payment system didn’t work. Entered some of my card details then it froze. Tried a few more time on the phone but it wouldn’t let me type in details or go any further. Eventually used an iPad and it went through. Not impressed if this app is a few years old.

### 1/5 — Offers removed

*2026-08-19, version 3.51.610177*

A shame I was forced to update to order and noticed all offers I use regularly have been removed. You will definitely see the reduction in orders now.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-08-11, version 3.44.610158*

Just doesn’t work like a functioning app should. It glitches and I have to delete and redownload it to use it. For example, when I selected Coventry Foleshill store to order from, it came up with a blank screen I could not get out of. I force closed the app, same issue. Doom loop. Only resolved by deleting and redownloading

### 1/5 — App is not as good as the food

*2026-07-31, version 3.44.610158*

It does not let me apply any voucher code at checkout. Neither for the first order nor for any other.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-06-24, version 3.44.610158*

The app is very slow

### 1/5 — H

*2026-06-07, version 3.44.610158*

Before I got the app, there was advertisement I said the First Chai Weller hot drink is on us still haven’t got it. No voucher no nothing I asked Stow colleague nothing.

### 1/5 — Misleading offer

*2026-05-05, version 3.44.610158*

Chaiiwala offer a ‘free karak chai’ when downloading the app, but what they don’t mention until you’ve signed up is that you have to make an order of at least £10 to get it! I deleted the app shortly after downloading it because of the misleading offer. Cheeky way of them getting your contact details 😒

### 1/5 — 6.96£ delivery?

*2025-12-18, version 3.37.610136*

I live less than 2 miles from my local chai wala. Initially showed delivery as £2.99. On checkout it changed to £6.95!!!! That’s extortionate, and yes I tried to change the timings for delivery and the free remained the same.
Never ordering

### 1/5 — Store not listed

*2025-11-27, version 3.14.1167*

A pointless app if you are unable to select the store for placing an order.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2025-11-11, version 3.14.1167*

Keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-11-07, version 3.14.1167*

Didn’t let me put in card details half the time and then when I did it froze my screen saying it was verifying with the bank - eventually it blocked me from trying saying “fraud”, so had to buy it at the counter where I lost a discount

It also asks for way more personal information than necessary.
