The items available are constantly dominated by a single chain bakery which is off-putting. Happy to set favourites for the few offerings I'm interested in but could be so much better. ### 2/5 — Great concept, not greatly executed… *2023-02-06* I love the idea of this app, saving food from going to landfill whilst filling bellies and at a third of the price, amazing! However, opening the app for the first time to find that not a single venue within 100km is offering anything isn’t a great first impression. I think the devs and/or the marketing team needs to step up a bit more to make this happen in more places, Adelaide perhaps? ### 3/5 — No food vendors? *2022-08-07* This app seems like it could be cool but there’s no vendors using it, super disappointing. ### 3/5 — Great idea but only one place within 300kms *2022-02-12* Great idea and the app looks like it would function well, but unfortunately there is only one restaurant on the app within 300kms of me in Brisbane qld. I hope there will be more soon. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Slow and unresponsive *2026-08-23* App is clunky; slow and always seems to be loading when trying to access bags that are available. ### 1/5 — Heaps of freezes and glitches *2026-08-09* This app was great at the start the last week every time I get notification I go to the app won’t load says I’m offline have tried deleting app re installing same issues fix ya bugs pls ### 1/5 — Used to be great, now it doesn’t work. *2026-08-08* What has happened to this app, it doesn’t load any of the screens! I get a notification there’s something available and it just spins and spins and never loads up. I’ve had the app from the beginning and purchased many foody bags but now it’s absolutely unusable. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled and it has made no difference. I’m on iPhone 16+ with the latest iOS. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-05-27* Absolutely no activity worldwide. Have had this app for weeks and one cafe listed in Melbourne which is perpetually sold out. Nothing else worldwide. Not sure of the history but it certainly has no purpose whatsoever now. ### 1/5 — Won t open!!!! *2026-03-18* Won t open ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-01-05* Won’t open just crashes ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2025-09-12* Every single time a pop up shows something is available my order gets cancelled when Apple Pay is processing. Why can’t there be a countdown in the check out of even 30 second for you to finalise payment. Instead it seems to rip role order away cause someone is faster. I’ve have this app for weeks now with absolutely no success. Really want to just uninstall. ### 1/5 — New update fail *2025-03-16* App will not open. I deleted and re downloaded but still won’t open ### 1/5 — Unable to sign in and no support *2024-03-12* The app will not let me sign in and there are no links to get support. Please advise how to fix error code 403. ### 1/5 — Not in Sydney *2024-01-09* Frustrating that this isn’t available in Sydney in Australia’s biggest city, which is also the city where people need this app the most. So annoying. Do better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good platform which avoids food waste *2025-03-31* Foody app works on a pre-purchase basis and pickup from the food partners is easy too. Just produce your email with the QR code and the partner scans it. However it needs more critical mass in the number of food partners as the majority are inactive. Continued engagement with partners after the initial sign up is needed perhaps. Overall, great idea, keep building on it! ### 5/5 — Love it, love it, love it!! *2025-03-11* We absolutely love it!! It’s like a bakery lucky dip! We have to stop ourselves, because everything is sooooo good! ### 5/5 — Great app for food *2025-03-09* Really great way for business to make something out of left over stock, while promoting their products. Also helps people with cost of living crisis and reduces waste. More businesses should get on board with this concept. Great app functionally ### 5/5 — Like clockwork *2023-10-20* I get notifications for food stores that interest me. As soon as I open the app I make my purchase and pick up at collection time. It’s so simple. ### 5/5 — Amazing concept, fantastic results *2022-08-21* Long time lurker, first time purchaser. I’ve been a member of Foody bag since it’s infancy but just drooled over the food and marvelled at it’s concept. I bit the bullet and purchased for the first time. I was worried I would be disappointed but, my expectations were exceeded 10x over. 100% converted and you have my heart (and wallet). Saving food from landfill while filling bellies with quality food that is more often than not, out of my budget. ### 5/5 — Excellent food at a great price *2021-09-22* If I can reduce food waste by eating cake at a reduced price then I’m all for it! The app is easy to use and has a great outcome ### 5/5 — What a great idea!! *2021-07-07* Such a great idea for an app! Easy to use! Saves food from going to waste, offers a great bargain to the consumer and helps small business. Winning! ### 4/5 — Quality Food *2026-08-08* So far the 4 places I’ve been to have provided quality food, and good service, even if its at closing and clerance prices. Very impressed ### 4/5 — Great but need more on board!! *2026-03-20* Would be great if more companies could get on board! There is so much food wastage and I’m sure if companies we reapproached they may get on board. There is a world crisis financially and environmentally and we can’t afford waste. So a drive to get more companies on board would be great!! It’s an awesome idea however very limited options other than Bread. ### 3/5 — No nearby locations *2026-02-24* I have had this app installed for over 4 months now, but still no nearby locations within 40km of me. I’m sure it’s a good app, and I’m sure it helps with food wastage, but it’s just another app that is only for people who live in major cities I guess. They need to do more to get business to sign up. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
