### 4/5 — Kinda frustrating process.

*2026-08-27, version 4.0.1*

Took me 3 days just to create an account because it kept telling me my case number was wrong. Finally was able to create the account. App seems simple enough.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-08-27, version 4.0.0*

I just updated to the new version and it’s just alright.. it doesn’t show you your pending transactions the old app would show you the night before so you can view your benefits this new version doesn’t do that unfortunately. You can still block out of state transactions and online transactions so we’ll see if next month it shows pending benefits might change my review then

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-08-26, version 4.0.0*

Crashing

### 2/5 — Needs fixing

*2026-08-26, version 4.0.0*

Doesn’t work, checked if country is part of it. It is. Yet can’t sign in, unable to receive code for verification. Need fixing.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-25, version 4.0.0*

I can’t even create my account. Everytime I go to make one and have them send me a verification code via phone number or email it ALWAYS says “unknown error” sooo????? It’s unusable .

### 1/5 — No deposit tracking

*2026-08-25, version 4.0.0*

I don’t like this version it has a bunch of ads and doesn’t show deposits anywhere. My benefits show up at a different day each month and now I have no clue when they’ll arrive due to deposit tracking no longer being available.

### 1/5 — Data Mining App

*2026-08-25, version 4.0.0*

The app is used for data mining. More personal information is requested for an account than legally required or advisable. TOS allows developer to share your information with third parties, such as Walmart. If you value your privacy and dislike data brokers, don’t get this app.

### 2/5 — Stop using AI

*2026-08-25, version 4.0.0*

stop using AI it looks so busted. How hard is it to find stock photos of groceries in brown paper bags, and a basket full of food c’mon now.

### 2/5 — Fatal Flaws

*2026-08-25, version 4.0.0*

The multi-factor process to verify my phone number doesn’t work properly. When I input my cellphone number, the system responded immediately, but when typing in the code, the system responded by “unable to copy from database.”  I didn’t copy & paste, I typed in the number. 

Providing feedback is not easy with this app.

### 4/5 — Push Notifications Grayed Out.

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.0*

Love the new interface however push notifications are grayed out I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and push stays grayed out would really prefer to get my notifications by push instead of number or email. Other than that great app.

### 1/5 — Exceedingly poor rebuild

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.0*

If the ebt system is so invested in people using the freeze-your-card feature to reduce account theft, they need to make the feature easily accessible in the app. It was a top level feature in the old app, now you have to dig around in the app to find the screen to unfreeze the account and when you’re finished you have to go somewhere else to freeze it again. 
Totally unnecessary and disincentivizing the use of the freeze feature. 
This should be fixed at the earliest opportunity.

### 1/5 — NOPE

*2026-08-21, version 4.0.0*

Not as good as the classic app. Has ads we don’t need and doesn’t tell you when upcoming benefits are available. I HATE IT! 🤬

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2026-08-20, version 3.1.0*

Can’t even use the app. Says an update is required, but no update available.

### 3/5 — Biometrics

*2026-08-20, version 3.1.0*

The facial scan biometrics don’t work I keep getting error codes every time, other than that it’s a decent app.

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2026-08-19, version 3.1.0*

I can’t get the new app to open don’t bother with it keep the old app

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-08-18, version 3.1.0*

The main thing I used the app for was freezing/unfreezing my card. Now I can’t find how to freeze it. Please just put a button on the top of the page, and allow names of each card to show up. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Apps for devices!

*2026-08-17, version 3.1.0*

I am pleased with this new update for EBTEDGE. But big problem two devices, IPad and iPhone. First is my iPad which is working fine and easy setup. Second is my iPhone which is not working properly due couldn’t login because of (balances, purchase and etc) was covered over the sign in that was not able to do. This need fixed now

### 1/5 — App Wouldn’t Allow Me to Verify Account Created With My Phone Number

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.1*

I downloaded the new app as instructed. Every time I tried to make a new account, I got stuck on the “verification” page. There were no options to verify my identity even though I had provided both my phone number and email address. I tried using the website instead of the app and had the same problems. I’m writing a negative review because I cannot find support for the app even within the app. The “support” button takes you to a list of each state’s SNAP page. Nothing that is actually app support. I don’t know if this is a good app or not, it will not let me use it.

### 1/5 — Login loop

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.1*

This app won't let me log into an account that I already have, because my contact methods are already in use. I feel as though that's obvious, I have an account and want to use it in this app but it won't let me move past that login step. So annoying!

### 1/5 — greedy and lazy

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.1*

The app doesnt adjust for my screen size on iPhone SE. I am literally incapable of using the app fully (reading text, buttons at the bottom) Considering the userbase for your app, it is truly pathetic that “budget” screen aspect ratios were not considered. Like What?! did you seriously just want to replace your old contract with this rushed ai slop filled with badly disguised advertising contracts?‽‽‽ Am I taking my anger out through this review? Yes. Does this app deserve the criticism? Also yes. Pathetic…

### 1/5 — I like the simplicity of the old app :(

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.1*

This one is way too new age like why does it have so many things in it, so many different pop up’s I loved the simple app before this one please bring back the old one 😭😭😭 this one dosent show what the pending benifits are , like my childcare payment and other payment I receive every month. I used the old app for tracking everything and this one is so confusing… too many things going on. Can we just get the old one back this sucks

### 1/5 — It’s a NO for me

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.1*

I don’t understand what the point is of having to update this app so many times in such a short amount of time

### 1/5 — 😖😠

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.1*

Can't even make an account! So dissappointed! I like the old version is more convenient.

### 1/5 — It had so much potential but failed miserably

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.1*

It had so much potential and they just slapped it that the first time I got into it it asked so much information about me and the app doesn’t tell you anything about your purchase history or your balance till almost 2 days after it gets deposited. This new update just made it 3 times more unlikable.

### 1/5 — Can’t access account

*2026-08-27, version 4.0.1*

Upon opening the old app, my  ebt account was gone. So I download this app and although it seems to recognize that I have an account, (because it won’t let me make a new one, contact in use) I can’t log in despite correct credentials. The app will flash, “failed to create card holder and card.”  Emailing got no response.

### 1/5 — pretty scummy to have ads on the app

*2026-08-27, version 4.0.0*

why would u allow Walmart ads for  EBT app.. pretty weird. And also the transition from the old app to the new one was bad.

### 1/5 — Unknown error

*2026-08-26, version 4.0.0*

Every time I try to log in or create an account it says unknown error. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but same issue.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2026-08-27, version 4.0.0*

It’s useful!

### 5/5 — Easy to use app

*2026-08-26, version 4.0.0*

Very satisfied Kay

### 5/5 — Ebt

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.0*

Great new app

### 5/5 — Stop complaining

*2026-08-13, version 3.1.0*

People just love to complain. Imagine getting free benefits and the government hires a company to create a tool to easily manage and monitor that benefit and you still wanna complain?

Interface for the new app is beautiful and simple. Runs smooth. No problems at all so far.

### 5/5 — Nice Upgrade Over Website

*2026-08-13, version 3.1.0*

At first I wasn’t sure if this app was legit because did not have very many downloads/reviews at the time I downloaded it.  It obviously is the official app as I linked to it thru the website. 

Our family has several cards and the app makes it so much easier than the old website to be able to see all the balances at once instead of trying to toggle between the accounts. This is such a convenient upgrade!!!

It was also convenient because I didn’t have to add any accounts. It was extremely seamless and feels very secure.

### 5/5 — Redy

*2026-08-11, version 3.1.0*

The app is so good and it lets you know exactly what and where your benefits are at the present and what has been spent in the past

### 5/5 — I like the app

*2026-07-27, version 3.1.0*

I’m glad they made an app where you can check how much you have on the card….(:

### 5/5 — New App

*2026-07-10, version 3.0.0*

The new app works great!

### 5/5 — No money load

*2026-07-09*

Only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t show when money was loaded like the last app. I love the features.

### 5/5 — New app

*2026-06-26, version 3.0.0*

I am trying this new app for the first time so don’t really have any negative refuses about it
