### 3/5 — Lack of functionality

*2026-08-08, version 5.4.1*

Why does the app constantly log me out. Why I am always asked for a password when I want to claim my reward. The app doesn’t trigger the option to store the password. There is no facial recognition.  App is easy to use, if you can get in.

### 4/5 — New customer

*2026-06-23, version 5.3.2*

I was asked today if I had the app and when I said no, the ins and outs were explained, including the welcome drink being mentioned. Downloading was easy enough, but I am not receiving a code to verify my account, so I can’t start using the app or loyalty program.
Please help or advise?

### 3/5 — Disappointing loyalty scheme

*2026-05-27, version 5.3.1*

I have collected enough stamps with hopes of simply getting a croissant, but I can only use it on a drink or a loaf of bread. What am I supposed to do If I don’t like sourdough or coffee, and any other drink in general feels hardly worth the build up of points.

### 2/5 — Erratic application of loyalty stamps

*2026-05-24, version 5.3.1*

Don’t know how much by design or poor execution - but I regularly don’t get the loyalty stamps, and I I do then if I buy 2 coffees I only get one stamp

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-03-31, version 5.2.1*

I like this app. Easy to set up and clear design. What is annoying is the marketing that’s followed. Please have a word with your marketing teams regarding this experience. Since using it yesterday I’ve had 5 emails this morning. 

I also could’ve used an offer yesterday but I don’t check before using. When asked if I have the app it would be really helpful if it’s acknowledged I have a welcome drink. I was disappointed after sitting down I’d missed out on that.

### 2/5 — Seeded sourdough loaf

*2025-12-29, version 4.2.0*

We really like the seeded sourdough loaf but since we started buying it a couple of years ago, it has got smaller and smaller and the price has gone up and up (and it’s not even organic!) The ‘loaf’ is getting closer to being a small boule rather than a loaf and it doesn’t last a family long at all which is disappointing

### 1/5 — Big Joke App

*2025-09-02, version 3.3.1*

the stamps are for the number of orders that include coffee, say if you order 10 cups, you will get 2 stamps only which is not fair

### 1/5 — Click and Collect

*2025-07-27, version 3.3.0*

There is no point in having a click and collect option as every time I’ve done it I have to stand in the queue and re order. It’s really annoying as I only have 15 minutes for my break so by the time I get back to work I don’t have time to drink it. The only option I have now is to go elsewhere which is a shame as I enjoy the coffee.

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2025-07-24, version 3.3.0*

Best coffee and bakery

### 4/5 — Disappointed

*2025-07-05, version 3.2.0*

Shared a scrumptious quiche and a cheese and chive scone with my wife.
My disappointment is that today is Worthing Pride and all Gail’s has to offer was a couple of cheep plastic strips of rainbow bunting.

### 1/5 — Rewards

*2026-08-19, version 5.4.1*

I liked it used to be, but recently very hard to sign in.

### 1/5 — Really poor click and collect

*2026-08-15, version 5.4.1*

Gails have a really bad click and collect offer via the app. Many times I have arrived at the shop to find the bread I ordered is not available. Just now I arrived 30 min after the order time and they said the order had not yet printed in store. If this happens I can see why it always falls down.

### 1/5 — Awful!!

*2026-07-14, version 5.4.1*

I have almost stopped going to Gail’s this app because of this app!

### 1/5 — Keeps logging out

*2026-07-14, version 5.4.1*

The app very often disconnects you on opening. This stops you from adding a little stamp to the loyalty card (people are in a hurry behind you waiting for the till so you can’t really take the time to log back in. Bad programming or manipulation so you don’t benefit points as much as you could. Either way it’s quite annoying.

### 1/5 — Logged out with no way to get back in

*2026-07-05, version 5.3.2*

To the devs: longtime user of this app but it has now logged me out, won’t accept my password and won’t send me a password reset link (yes I have checked spam). Basically I’m locked out. Annoying. Please sort.

### 1/5 — One of the worst app

*2026-06-11, version 5.3.1*

Very disappointing online shopping experience. I tried to add the birthday gift promotion, but kept getting an error saying my basket did not contain the required products, with no clear explanation of what was missing.

It’s also frustrating that browsing other pages can delete the basket. Customers should be able to keep shopping without losing their items. The website really needs improvement.

### 1/5 — Hot X Buns

*2026-04-03, version 5.2.1*

Gail’s is a bakery. It’s Good Friday. They’re open at 7am. Then why no Hot X Buns until 9am?

### 1/5 — Tills aren’t working

*2025-12-27, version 4.2.0*

Tills aren’t working

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-10-26, version 3.6.0*

The app is unable to download

### 1/5 — Stamps not Added

*2025-09-24, version 3.5.0*

Stamps frequently not added even when I’ve scanned my QR code. So you have to write to customer services - who never respond. Don’t see the point of the App.

Easy, straight forward app! Delicious pastries!

### 5/5 — Seeded Sourdough

*2026-02-17, version 5.2.0*

This is my all-time favourite sourdough bread. The texture, flavour, mix of seeds and bake is always perfect every time

### 5/5 — Savoury & Sweet

*2026-02-09, version 5.2.0*

Insane! The ozzzy delicious ham and cheese croissant followed by the chocolate and pistachio pastry - Monday lunchtime treat shared with Mum 💕

### 5/5 — Bread

*2026-01-24, version 5.1.1*

The staff are lovely really helpful and the bread is just the best!!

### 5/5 — Hiccup

*2025-09-16, version 3.5.0*

Last visit was spoilt just a little as the order was not on the shelf and when it was handed over and taken home it was not sliced s ordered.

### 5/5 — Good for quick reorders

*2025-09-03, version 3.3.1*

Good for regular order on click and collect. Automatically gives me a free loaf after 10 paid for
