### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2026-09-03*

Cannot login

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-09-02*

The app never works. I’ve contacted support and their only suggestion has been to use the website. Useless app.

### 1/5 — Slow and Annoying

*2026-08-11*

The app frequently won’t load at all for lengthy periods of time. I have spent hours waiting on it to load before getting my groceries so I can still load my offers. How ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Slow, pain to use, and now straight up won’t open

*2026-08-07*

Using this app is like hearing 1000 chalks being scraped on a blackboard. It’s super slow, unbelievably unresponsive, and now won’t open even after deleting and reinstalling.
I would give 0 stars if possible.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-16*

Won’t open

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-07-13*

The app does not provide users with the ability to clearly see and read product labels. It does not provide country of origin information/product of x country for many items. The app does not allow you to click on your cart from the home screen. The app is challenging to navigate. The app is also full of glitches, something that becomes apparent very quickly. It is very frustrating to use.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-06-06*

Never works always encounters an error

### 1/5 — bad app

*2026-06-06*

Doesn’t even launch. Tried deleting it, redownloading, restarting my phone, just spins and gets stuck at the loading page.

### 1/5 — Won’t go past log in screen

*2026-05-25*

Since the latest update, I can’t get it to go past the screen that says food basics with blueberries. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

### 1/5 — The app sucks

*2026-05-19*

I deleted and re-downloaded this app probably 10 times and it will not allow me to sign in. I got to sign in once or twice way back when but it never lets me use the app when I want to use it when I’m shopping and it won’t let me login. It’s when it’s at the sign in page. I hit sign in it and it just keeps thinking and thinking and never lets me in puts me back to the signing page and then I just I just deleted. I just did it again because it’s not working.
