### 3/5 — Reward Coupons Do Not Give Expiration Date

*2026-07-01, version 6.0.8*

No expiration dates seem to be given for rewards. The offer says “expires in 14 days or when received” but does not list the date of when received either.

### 4/5 — App keeps saying it needs to be updated.

*2026-06-01, version 6.0.5*

I have updated this app several times with the same version.

### 1/5 — Non stop updates

*2026-05-30, version 6.0.5*

For 4 days now the app is in the app store update list.
I update……and prompted again to update.

I deleted and reinstalled, same issue.

Fix the uploaded assets in the App Store, this is not acceptable.

### 3/5 — App keeps updating

*2026-05-29, version 6.0.5*

Food and service is excellent! However, the app itself keeps updating even though I download it. Please fix that. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Update Loop

*2026-05-28, version 6.0.5*

I’ve updated this app a dozen times in the last two days, and it just keeps popping up to update. Stuck in an update loop!

### 1/5 — Why does it give false information about things and telling to update every 30 seconds

*2026-05-27, version 6.0.5*

Tells me to update like every minute I’m so close to deleting this app since it never works and lied about open locations and the are not I have to call the store directly or search google on my pc for it I’ve cleared my phone cache data and storage uninstalled reinstalled and reset my phone to heavy to clear cache and readd apps on my phone I frequently use like this but it’s telling update again and again on a loop

### 1/5 — Buggy & Discounts never apply

*2026-04-18, version 6.0.2*

When purchasing ice cream discounts are never applied properly. Poorly designed app.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me add a payment method.

*2026-04-17, version 6.0.1*

When I try to add a card it will just keep loading and then time out.

### 1/5 — Awful Quality

*2026-04-01, version 5.0.1*

You would think in the year that Ai takes over every company that something as simple as ice cream would have a workable app. As soon as you submit payment you have to wait to get an email to confirm because once you tap to pay it’ll let you keep paying for the same order over and over again. You want to track your order? Well you better close the app and reopen because the pay screen will never confirm you paid. Absolutely ridiculous how long they take to issue refunds but will be fine charging you as many times as they can get away with.

### 3/5 — Glitchy and Slow

*2026-03-20, version 5.0.1*

The app does the basics, but it has a tendency to be glitchy, such as missing topping options or preventing me from removing an item from the cart.

### 2/5 — Just ok

*2026-03-10, version 5.0.1*

The product is wonderful. Pricey but I like to spoil myself occasionally because I get to customize my treat. The change in the app makes it more difficult to customize!!

### 1/5 — Keep your database updated.

*2026-03-07, version 5.0.1*

Ffs, this is the third time I’ve ordered something to go to the store and be told it’s a discontinued flavor or it was a limited flavor and they no longer have it. KEEP THE DB UPDATED SO THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN. Also in store can’t refund the order because it’s technically a website order. So you kind of just gotta make something else up that you didn’t want

### 1/5 — Terrible service

*2026-03-01, version 5.0.1*

Received order very late. No apologies. Barely any ice cream. Could have used a flat lid. Disappointing for the price.

### 2/5 — First App Experience

*2026-02-26, version 5.0.1*

First time using app, pretty outdated and not the easiest to navigate. After getting to the counter a very kind employee did inform the person picking up my order that one of my item's flavors (out of two) was unavailable so they subbed it for another.  I think they should have waited and asked for a preferred substitute though. When I recieved my order it was upgraded a size either by accident or to compensate for the unavailable flavor which was appreciated, however they did not add my second flavor at all which was really disappointing as I was too far away by then and too close to closing to go back and get it resolved. I feel the whole point of apps are for convenience, and this time did not satisfy that whatsoever as I ended up paying something I did not asked for/like.

### 2/5 — Rewards Points Don’t Increase

*2026-02-23, version 5.0.1*

I buy through the app regularly and the points never increase.  Also the app doesn’t give you a reliable estimate of the calories in each item.  It only provides a wide range of calories.

### 1/5 — Poor mgmt

*2026-02-16, version 5.0.1*

Ordered a cake 2 days prior to pickup…upon arriving store mgr immediately went into defense mode then stated that someone grabbed the cake the day prior.  Then proceeded to express how that was not his fault. Offered to make the cake the next day of which I declined & requested a refund…still waiting on it.

### 1/5 — Incorrect Delivery Orders

*2026-08-14, version 6.0.8*

I don’t order ice cream often so to get the wrong flavor is irksome, and the app has no way to report the problem.

Also, the app doesn’t allow you to just look at the menu without first clicking ordering.

### 1/5 — Rewards Points Don’t Increase

*2026-06-08, version 6.0.6*

I buy through the app regularly and the points never increase.  I received a message from them to uninstall and reinstall it and that worked.  

But now it continues to not accrue points from my non app purchases where I give the cashier my phone number.  I deleted and reinstalled it again and now it won’t let me retrieve my password.  When you request a pwd reset it freezes up.  

Also the app doesn’t give you a reliable estimate of the calories in each item.  It only provides a wide range of calories.

### 1/5 — App updates endless ly

*2026-06-04, version 6.0.5*

The app updates, then minutes later it updates, later it shows needs an update, then updates, then shows needs an update, then updates, minutes later it needs an update and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on ENDLESSLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Updates keep showing up every few minutes

*2026-06-03, version 6.0.5*

The app has been updating to asked to update for several days with the same update. Please fix this. It’s so annoying.

### 1/5 — Update Everyday??

*2026-06-03, version 6.0.5*

I’m not understanding, Everyday there is Another update and Everyday I do it Again. How many times does one app need an update? Apple doesn’t even update their own apps/products that often - and that’s saying a lot because they also have updates for at least one thing each day. But the difference is - it’s Not the Same app Over & Over Again Nonstop!!

### 1/5 — Constant updates and failures

*2026-06-03, version 6.0.5*

After an update, the app is always not updated. It shows updated and then not updated. It then updates the app and minutes later it is not updated. This has happened at least 50 times. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Update issues

*2026-06-02, version 6.0.5*

I am deleting the app until I see that this is is fixed. Too annoying.

### 1/5 — Gift Cards and Payments

*2026-06-01, version 6.0.5*

There’s absolutely no way to add gift cards or payment methods. Absolute waste of time.

### 1/5 — Updates screwed up

*2026-05-30, version 6.0.5*

You’ve been showing an update for three days. I have updated every day and it still wants to update again you have messed up your update this last time cause it won’t stop updating.

### 1/5 — Stuck in update mode

*2026-05-30, version 6.0.5*

It says update I’ve done it like 200 times already and still 3 days later update still there fix it already I’ve done everything uninstall reinstall cleared app cache uninstalled all my apps on my phone reset my phone and nothing this is so annoying and embarrassing for a company that sells good ice cream
