Useless App

You can’t add any item to a shopping list as you browse, not even to their own app let alone another shopping list. Not even to their own shopping app Sixty69. You can’t even select the text to search for the item in the Sixty60 app. Of what use is this!!!!

Really poor

I have tried five times with three resent PIN numbers and they keep getting rejected. Sorry, I don’t have time for this, and there is no way to contact anyone.

Need help finding downloaded slips

Nice app. Can you advise on where to find the downloaded till slips? It says downloaded but I can’t find it anywhere on my iPhone. Thanks.

Response from developer

Hello and thank you for leaving us a review and feedback. We are aware of the issue with downloading till slips to your phone and are releasing a fix that will address the problem very soon. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

No App for old iPhones

Your app update requires iOS 13 or later but Apple stopped support for older iPhones at iOS 12. So now people with older phones can’t use your app. That’s stupid.

Response from developer:
"Hello FreeTigger. We apologise for the compatibility issue with the latest release of the app. Our future releases are required to adhere to Apple's official software development kit (SDK) update guidelines. These state that apps for iPhone or iPad must be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later. This means that if you do have an iPhone 6s or later, you can upgrade your phone's OS to version 13 and still use the Checkers app, however, older phones won't be accommodated. Our apologies again."

So how is it that EVERY OTHER APP on my phone continues to update and work? Lazy developing! I would find a different developer if I were Checkers.

To make this app better

Okay so it’s awesome to have all the specials on your app.... but why do you not have a shopping list function where you can create a virtual shopping list of what you found on the app to take with you. When going to the shops ??? 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for now 5 will be given if you give a shopping list

Upadating - when will you be updated

Why not keep the card number on the app and not the cloud

Needs work

The app does not stay signed in, and it is far from ideal to sign in at the tills. My X-tra save card is hard to access and does not show the barcode so the cashier has to type in the long code.

Hello djdesafrican. Thanks for leaving us a review. We agree that the signed in status should be increased and will be doing so in an upcoming release. We're also working on improving the digital card feature along with other big improvements to the app's usability. Please look out for these and other updates over the coming weeks. Thanks again!

Does not work

This app cannot even find the Checkers at my mall and won’t use my location.
When signing up online, no email is sent for verification.

This app looks like it has a lot of bugs.

Doesn't work on iPhone 6s Plus

The previous version of the app didn't load up the specials, and the new version simply crashes on open. It's completely unusable on iPhone 6s Plus.

Awesome

Great improvement on the previous app. Very user friendly on giving indtructions what each screen do. Perhaps a "show each time" checkbox on the instructions. But really impressed!

Great idea, poor app

The coupons is a great idea, the app is extremely un-user friendly. All coupons thrown in one place, now I have to sift through all to see what is applicable to my region. Not very customer centric!!!

Crashes constantly on iPhone 5

It is a very unstable app crashing constantly. I cannot find a way to remove items from shopping basket and delivers incorrect coupon code at register!!! Neeeds loads more work until it is worth the trouble!

Super app

Great app. Works well. Small suggestion: the app should categorize coupons by product type and add the ability to search through current coupons. Also user defined notifications for coupons of a particular product type or category.
