### 1/5 — Stop wasting my time

*2025-07-29, version 5.2.4*

Utter rubbish
Latest app version on iPhone 14
Just doesn’t work
Can’t add stamp
Clearly not comprehensively tested demonstrating utter contempt for your customers. 
Wasted so much time. 
Plus your prices have gone way up. FM was so good at the beginning. Sad to see it going down the pan. 
And your Richmond restaurant serves cheap weirdly colored rose wine in tumblers at over a tenner a pop (inc ‘service’)
- should be illegal

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-07-26, version 5.2.4*

Funny how the app no longer works once I’ve collected enough points for a free meal…. What a con!

Guess I’ve got no reason to choose this chain anymore then.

### 1/5 — Registration experience is miserable

*2025-07-05*

You can’t order a pizza online or through the app without creating an account (there is no guest checkout option), and I tried for 30 minutes to create an account without success. Two factor authentication is forced based on your cell phone. My phone line is based in the US, and tried every way of entering my number using country code and never did receive the login code.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2025-05-06, version 5.2.4*

Had this app for years. Stopped working. Couldn’t do anything to get it to open. Have lost all my stamps as decided to delete the app and download again but still won’t open at all. Very frustrating. No FM app at all anymore.

### 1/5 — Redundant time wasting app

*2025-03-18, version 5.2.4*

Have wasted too much of my, mine and staff time on multiple visits trying to get stamps - and it’s never worked.

### 1/5 — Great pizzas. Terrible app.

*2025-01-30, version 5.2.3*

Great pizzas. Terrible app.

### 1/5 — Nice idea but full with issues, mostly when you are at the store

*2025-01-27, version 5.2.3*

Adding a stamp? Not working.  Table check in? Not working. It is garbage
Opening the app at the restaurant to show your code? Impossible.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work in Southampton restaurant

*2025-01-25*

Writing this in the Southampton restaurant.  Downloaded the app a few weeks ago to use the Jan voucher pizza for £5.  Have arrived at the restaurant with my partner and neither of us have been able to open the app.  All other apps work, internet connection is fine and we have 5G signal.  This app is a data collection scam - do not use. We will now have to pay full price for a pizza despite the promise of being able to get them for £5.  Not happy and will be deleting the app.  Will also be complaining to the Information Commissioners Office for illegal data capture.

### 1/5 — Poor app doesn’t let me create account

*2025-01-23, version 5.2.3*

Such a poorly built app, stalls at account creations, even after deleting and reinstalling!!
Wasted too much time already on such a bad app!!

### 1/5 — Oh dear!

*2025-01-19, version 5.2.3*

What a failure of an app. Drive their main marketing campaign through the app and you cant sign in with your new account or reset your password! Waste of time don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever Die

*2025-01-18, version 5.2.3*

Franco manky

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2025-01-16, version 5.2.3*

Request failed error repeatedly. Why have promos like £5 pizza to push users to download app when it’s not even stable

### 1/5 — Login doesn’t work

*2025-01-15, version 5.2.3*

Simple.

### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2025-01-15, version 5.2.3*

I created a new account this evening, authenticated using my mobile number, but won’t let me login.

### 1/5 — Horrific signup experience

*2025-01-15, version 5.2.3*

Registering is impossible, why hasn’t this been fixed. It’s 2025, get your backend fixed before you launch an app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-01-14, version 5.2.3*

The app doesn’t work and I had to pay full price.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-05-16*

Was logged and then told to update the app. Now the app no longer recognises my email for logging in or password reset. Contacted support multiple times and they can’t fix it. Had a free pizza expire because of this.

### 1/5 — Reset password requires email but sets keyboard mode to numbers only

*2026-04-06*

Reset password requires email but sets keyboard mode to numbers only

### 1/5 — Poor software and poor costumer service

*2026-04-04*

I got 6 stamps and now I cannot sign in to collect my free pizza. I cannot even reset the password. The never accept the student discount even if the location in o. The participant units lost. But they will charge you full service charge without even asking if you were satisfied by the service provided.

### 1/5 — Buggy sorry

*2026-04-03*

Bad UI design and it logged me out and now I lost my rewards, went to reset password it said enter email yet all I could type was numbers

### 1/5 — Dreadful dreadful App

*2026-02-23*

Confusing and difficult to use with numerous inputs to login and gain stamps. A real pain!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-02-07*

App doesn’t work

### 1/5 — App is useless

*2025-09-29, version 5.2.5*

As all the other comment say- it’s awful

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-09-27, version 5.2.5*

This app is mad r*t*rd*d

### 1/5 — Codes expire

*2025-09-20, version 5.2.5*

Not so much about the app, but there’s no mention of it on the receipt that codes expire after a month. Went to put in 6 codes from receipts last month to find they’re useless.

### 1/5 — Codes Never Work

*2025-08-12, version 5.2.4*

On the last four visits to FM the code has not registered correctly.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-01-28, version 5.2.3*

Love it

### 5/5 — Great app - Don’t understand the reviews

*2025-01-24, version 5.2.3*

This app is amazing. It makes me the group leader of the table (first time dealing with such aura). No problems with the app.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2025-01-23, version 5.2.3*

Skibidi toilet rizz

### 5/5 — Free pizza!

*2024-10-14, version 5.1.0*

Just got my free pizza from stamps on the app, very cool, nice app never had any bugs/issues

### 5/5 — Must be one of the best pizza apps ever seen

*2023-12-03*

The design is very cool and smooth, looks sooooooo good. All of the features work nice and smooth and the delivery feature is cool. Alfred doesn’t know what he’s talking about!

### 5/5 — Amazing, they can treat me with my name

*2019-10-03*

Yesterday we went to franco manca bath and we got a shirt just for free for download them app. The best thing from this app is, that when you check in to a table after the waiter speak to you with your name. Amazing family treat !!!

### 5/5 — Very easy to use

*2019-10-03*

Tried this new app in a pizzeria last night, very easy to use and earn free pizza. I can also order and collect. Staff very welcoming and helpful too, I’ll be back!

### 4/5 — Great pizza poor beer

*2022-03-27*

I used to run a micropub serving craft ale. I know something about pale ale. When I tasted your no name pale ale, I was very underwhelmed. A few years back I tried your no name pale ale and it had flavour. I looked on the back of the bottle. Brewed by Shepherd Neame. This is a travesty. I live 5 mikes away from them and know the brewery well. They are capable of brewing decent ale (apparently) but insist on brewing for old men who are frightened of beer that tastes of anything. 
Your clientele are not old men. Go for something more in the vein of a Beavertown pale, or for a volume brewer - Adnams, whose Ghostship is a volume beer but very good and always popular. Or Oakham’s Citra. Almost anything would be better than this Whitstable Bay taste-alike. 
Fab pizza as always.  
Thanks for listening 😊

### 3/5 — VPN / Network issues

*2024-10-31*

Sometimes fails to load on certain networks or when VPN is enabled. It gives absolutely no feedback when it does this, which makes it incredibly frustrating. Check your WAF guys, there’s no need to block anonymous users, especially those logged in to the app.

### 2/5 — No longer works

*2026-04-04*

Has worked usually, now not letting me log in and reset password function asks me to input email but only the keypad (numbers) is available. No longer able to use it.
