### 1/5 — Never displays any info

*2023-03-27, version 3.6.3*

This app is terrible! I can’t even see my orders bc literally the page won’t display.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-02-14, version 3.6.2*

It’s just bad

### 1/5 — Oh Snap

*2023-01-24, version 3.6.1*

This App works about 1 day a week.  Every other day it says Oh Snap No Menu Available.  Why bother?

### 1/5 — No menu available

*2022-12-04, version 3.6.0*

It was working just fine, but starting last week it says “Oh, snap! No menu available.” Pretty useless.

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2022-09-09, version 3.5.9*

Thought this app would help with planning lunches for the week and prepaying for them. Can’t seem to find that option even if there is one. With that said when came to starting profile, at the allergen section I chose that option but nothing came up for choosing one or even typing in one. Crap app, and not helpful or useful!

### 1/5 — No ingredient lists

*2022-08-25, version 3.5.8*

This app has tools to help its users avoid certain allergens without providing full ingredient lists. This is very dangerous for those of us with obscure allergies and severe food intolerances.

### 1/5 — Terrible app!

*2022-02-09, version 3.5.2*

Can’t understand how come D57 shares this terrible  app with parents!!??

### 1/5 — Not Great Even When It Works

*2022-01-29, version 3.5.1*

Suddenly started giving me a user not found error, but I can log in on the website so it’s not my error. Even when you’re in, the app is clunky. Terrible HMI.

### 1/5 — School lunch menu app

*2022-01-10, version 350*

Really stupid app. I needed to check my kid school lunch menu and I clicked at my school website . It made me to download that thing and even after creating account I could locate her school - if it’s soooo complicated to get to simple school lunch menu/ just shut this stupid app snd create a new that will  work !  I want put 0 stars for frustration

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2020-11-30, version 3.3*

Idk why I even have this on my phone, can’t even log in

### 1/5 — Not working.

*2020-09-30, version 3.0*

I have to go to their website to log in. If I try to log in on the app, does not work.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-03-12, version 3.9.1*

Terrible app.  All it has to do is post a meal schedule and fails at that. Rarely loads and displays the meals. Garbage app

### 1/5 — Not user friendly at all

*2025-10-20, version 3.8.6*

We just want to see the lunch menu. Why do we need 199 steps for this?

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-09-03, version 3.8.5*

I follow all the steps and it does not work. This should be stress free but instead, lot of unnecessary steps. Still can’t place a order or select the food I want for my daughter. I am frustrated with this app.

### 1/5 — Truly the worst app I’ve ever used

*2025-04-28, version 3.8.2*

All week it’s just been spinning and doesn’t work. When it does: So many steps to see the menu. Have to create a profile for each kid to see their schools. Have to be logged in and it constantly logs you out. Why do I have to click through a guided tutorial on the app every single time I use it?? How they made something so overly complicated and poorly performing is beyond me.

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2025-02-25, version 3.8.0*

Can’t get menu to load - immediately crashes. Not functional and from older reviews it looks like this isn’t being fixed.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2025-01-24*

Completely bricked when opening my schools menu. Black screen, nothing loading.

### 1/5 — No cancellation option and No support over call as well

*2024-09-13, version 3.7.9*

They should provide a cancellation option or a phone number to call.

### 1/5 — Frustrating app

*2023-12-20, version 3.7.2*

Don’t waste your time navigating through this app, its very poorly designed.  Lots of issues and unable to find payment option.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-10-13*

I feel I’ve wasted an hour of my time hopping between their app and website trying to figure out to set up a PAYMENT plan so that my child can actual pay for his lunch. I’m sending in cash with him. Public school- state law- they have to feed him, right??? Especially since he has type 1 diabetes. The app is user friendly but indicates NOWHERE on how to pay for food. Cash is king!

### 1/5 — No menu listed - pre planning

*2023-09-02*

Weekly menu needed for planning if not monthly Monthly. Not available 9-2-23. Requesting a printable pdf

### 5/5 — It’s okay

*2023-06-15, version 3.6.6*

I like this app but it keeps logging out when I visit the website. Also there are too many steps to see the menu. I really want it to be simplified. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-03-31, version 3.5.4*

This app works well, simple and does what’s advertised.

### 5/5 — Very user friendly

*2019-09-13, version 1.1*

Fantastic!

### 4/5 — Good, but why is the sign SO LONG?!

*2026-01-17, version 3.8.7*

I gave it a 4 because it is easy for me to tell what is for lunch at school, but when I first signed up it took the whole ride to my school! Other then that I really like it.

EDIT: Ok, Now there is another problem. When I went into the app, it said there would be an update the next day. I was kind of excited to see all the new features. The next day, there was nothing new. I waited the next day and there was still nothing. I checked the App Store and it wasn’t helpful. To slow on the update!

### 4/5 — Good, but why is the sign SO LONG?!

*2026-01-11*

I gave it a 4 because it is easy for me to tell what is for lunch at school, but when I first signed up it took the whole ride to my school! Other then that I really like it.

### 3/5 — Could be more user friendly/efficient

*2020-10-03, version 3.1*

**Edited** Gave back one star for recent update

-1) Now carrying students name from the profile to the checkout but carrying it all in the First Name field and requiring users to enter a Last Name . 2) users shouldn’t have to constantly click the teacher room and lunch time, that should be part of the profile.

-Latest release now let’s you check out more than one day at a time. 

-Menu not updated in a timely manner. The week of a change in month the calendar isn’t available yet, not even two days before the new month starts.

-Invoice image emailed to the user now renders in the iPhone Mail App v14.0.1 as of last release.

### 2/5 — Ugh

*2025-05-01, version 3.8.3*

Why in gods name do I have to click on the meal and then click “show menu”?? Just SHOW ME THE MENU. Why else would I be clicking on it, guys?
Slight aggravation every school day morning.

### 2/5 — Junk

*2022-06-01, version 3.5.6*

When going to the website on your phone provides more options, you know the app is junk. Cant print the menu from the app? Seriously? Just so clunky.

### 2/5 — Could be convenient

*2022-03-08, version 3.5.4*

It’s great that there is a way to check the menu for school lunches. But it constantly logs you out so it’s not even worth creating an account. And there are so many steps to get to the actual menu. I think it could be simplified. Even just making a leave me logged in option would make this a much better user experience. It’s just a lunch menu. Not sure why the security is so tight?

### 2/5 — Not great

*2021-09-02, version 3.4.6*

Not very user friendly, takes a long time just to check the menu options. Lots of unnecessary extra work.
