Took too long to setup

And then couldn’t pay after filling up which was a bit annoying

Good app but slow

Useful app and it’s nice to not have to go into the shop but it seems to get slower with every update. Slow to load the station, slow to confirm payment. It is now quicker to just go into the shop and pay after filling up.

Poor service

No PIN, not clear which places can take app payment. Rubbish

Very bland

This is far below the standard of other fuel apps. No option to look at my points. It’s just a number stuck in the top corner. I have no clue what the points relate to. Very bland app. Home Screen especially is very dull.

Less features, more issues

This app used to be great! Stacking offers and rarely went down. Now I cannot use some cards, I can’t stack offers and the app is down I’d say 20-30% of the time!

Clunky app

Slow and clunky app. Takes forever to load. By the time it does you could have already paid for your petrol. Will actively avoid Esso as a result as BPs app is way better

Awful

Worst app can’t even add nectar card won’t accept nectar card in store

how go i get points

apparently no way to get points while paying at till

Slow and clunky

This app is far worse than the one it replaced. It’s very slow to fire up and becomes very clunky and slow to respond when finding stations and taking payments. Also doesn’t auto email receipts like the last version. A real step backwards and it puts me off using Esso stations if I can avoid them. BP and Shell apps have none of these issues so become my brand choice for simple trouble free fill ups.

Rubbish

So far I’ve added my Esso fuel card it showed me my pin so I could use it, it’s now disappeared so can’t see my pin number can’t use my fuel card complete waste of time

Used to be great, now useless

Used to use this app for fuelling up , as did my partner. But the last 6 times I’ve tried, it has failed multiple times, not ideal when you are holding up a queue of cars or are alone at night and just wanting to get back in your car for safety. Tried uninstalling, not working. Big shame.

No contact

Tried to change my number with the app. No response despite multiple contact. Unhelpful

Bank

Every time I try and use it I have to do Lloyds check then it drops out on your rubbish app the system was way better not happy

New app is slow

Takes a long time to load, and then another long time to find the station. The old app was faster.

Esso App

App not recording my sales. Having to chase up customer service to get points added. This carries on will delete app and just use Shell as I have had no issues with their app

Problems

Tried using this App a few times now, gave up in frustration, very slow and then refused payment, it’s quicker to fuel up as normal and go into pay, there is nothing wrong with my Apple Pay, will give it one more try if it’s still the same I’ll be deleting.

Another failed attempt to use this App today, slow to load, bad layout of screen making it difficult to choose your pump, then payment not accepted using Apple Pay, whereas I don’t have any problems elsewhere using Apple Pay, customer service contacted with no reply, do yourselves a favour and avoid using this worthless App.

Esso account

I have used my Esso account twice now but the app is not showing any of the transactions

Reset Password Loop

I can’t login to the app as it sends email to reset password. The link won’t open the app so all I get is Oooops! Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but same issue. Waste of time

Rubbish

Try to link app with Nectar to enable ‘pay at pump’. This comes up with a warning that the app is insecure and a threat to security of my data - financial etc.

Completely Useless

The loyalty stamp never work. Scanned and no stamp collected. No extra rewards at all. Paying by app not working, not even once. Just delete the app and forget about it. Esso should fire the whole app department and save money.
