### 3/5 — Un-used coupons

*2025-10-10, version 5.4.0*

When I’ve tried to enter my phone number to use coupons, I never receive the coupon discounts.

### 3/5 — Baggers???

*2025-09-01, version 5.3.0*

Not happy that they don’t even help a senior with bagging while the line is backing up behind me. It’s embarrassing snd difficult.

### 4/5 — Atención al cliente

*2025-07-04, version 5.2.0*

La atención brindada por la mayoría de empleados es pésima y diferencial

### 1/5 — App sign up problems

*2025-06-26, version 5.2.0*

After downloading app than set password and filled out User Profile doesn’t save so I can’t clip any coupons

### 1/5 — Dark mode disappeared

*2025-04-12, version 5.1.2*

I had the app before and it was mostly blue. Something got updated so I got logged out and had to reset my password. Now that I finally got around to resetting my password, not only is it all bright and annoying, but there's no option to change it back to how it was before. I am not at all happy and as long as there's no dark mode option, my rating will be 1 star

### 1/5 — Signup button not working

*2025-04-07, version 5.1.2*

When I filled out account profile forms and then click complete signup, the page has no reactions. Tried to open the signup form in different browsers but they’re all the same - signup button is not working

### 1/5 — I hate clipping the ads

*2025-03-22, version 5.1.2*

It’s bad enough I have to go grocery shopping, but if I have to sit and clip these stupid ads just to get a cheaper price is a pain in the butt

### 1/5 — Upgrade terrible

*2025-03-15, version 5.1.2*

I upgraded the app on my iPad and now I can’t log in. Not sure if it’s because my iPad is old or what. I didn’t upgrade on my phone for fear of the same thing happening. Email and password haven’t changed so I’m not sure what has. Annoying.

### 4/5 — Great savings

*2025-03-12, version 5.1.1*

Love the savings, the best in area.

### 1/5 — Behind the curve

*2025-01-30, version 4.8.1*

As a very mature unsophisticated technology user even I recognize poor web site development when I cannot use their website to  create an account. It doesn’t flow. 
Clipping the paper coupons is less time consuming than trying to create an account.

### 1/5 — Slowest App I’ve ever used

*2024-11-07, version 4.8.1*

I’ve used this app many times already and, every time I try to use it I get so frustrated at how slow and bad it works. Even when I try opening using fast wifi, it is still the same problem. Compared to other food store apps, this is by far the worst.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2025-11-27, version 5.4.0*

Coupons and deals? Where? The app had between 3-8 items in only a few categories, for a grocery store? Other retailers offer more deals and coupons than this.

### 1/5 — Can’t clip coupons

*2025-10-27, version 5.4.0*

I have tried over several weeks to clip coupons to account and get error message account is being set up please try again

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2025-09-15, version 5.4.0*

No puedo llenar para registrarme

### 1/5 — FoodMaxx website

*2025-09-14, version 5.4.0*

Always shows “something wrong” message. The site is frozen, goes nowhere!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-27, version 5.2.0*

It literally won’t load, why won’t it work

### 1/5 — app broken

*2025-08-25, version 5.2.0*

App seems to be broken. Ask to pull to refresh but nothing is loading.

### 1/5 — App

*2025-07-15, version 5.2.0*

Your app is always not working even if your logged in it always says something wrong. Unable to clip coupons that are digital. If you’re not going to fix the problem then don’t have them.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me at all

*2025-07-15, version 5.2.0*

I’ve tried using this app like at least for 2 years and it’s always been difficult to even have anything load up on the screen. I want to use the coupons but all I get is a loading screen which never changes unless for some miracle it does and then it goes away. Who knows if this could be fixed but I have lost hope in using this

### 1/5 — App

*2025-07-07, version 5.2.0*

App has a lot
Of bugs, it didn’t work when I was checking out the register and didn’t honor the discount since app was not working

### 1/5 — Worst store app ever

*2025-07-01, version 5.2.0*

What’s the point of having digital coupons when the app works worst than dull scissors and I was told by a store cashier that the coupons must be clipped before arriving to the store. What a waste of time. Would much rather spend more money elsewhere where I will come out happy. Frustrating and annoying is what this all does.

*2023-09-16, version 4.6.2*

This application really helped me with my purchases, I often visit FoodMaxx and intuitively decided to check the application on App Store, and was pleasantly surprised, that yes, they have their own application. Now my shopping has become more pleasant, thank you!
