The entire map (like. The whole world map) is empty, so I’m left to assume either the app has been abandoned or it just never got picked up by any stores. ### 3/5 — Great idea *2022-01-23, version 0.2.4* This app is great when it works, however we find that staff are taking the best stuff out the back for themselves (we have seen this happening in Eurospar) so the stock levels are not correct. ### 2/5 — Misleading *2021-08-06, version 0.2.4* This has been touted as a reduce food waste app. When actually it just appears to be a tool for Henderson Retail to promote their i store offers. Really quite misleading, especially considering the huge issue of food waste. ### 4/5 — Adding Reductions *2021-05-12, version 0.2.0* This is a great idea for an app, I work for a supermarket chain and in charge of reductions, but how can I add my store and the items that I reduce? ### 3/5 — Not working in London? *2021-04-30, version 0.2.0* Great concept but either I’m missing something, there’s an error somehow or there’s just no stores available in London... ### 3/5 — Cool Idea. But still needs more Stores *2021-04-13, version 0.2.0* Its a very Good Idea, but it needs more stores added to the watchlist. Fortunately where i live. Theres 3 Co-ops on the radius of 10km that use this. But whenever i look at City centres such as Manchester or Leicester. Theres no Stores nearby Would be great if more Stores got added to the System. ### 2/5 — Great concept but frequently disappointed *2021-03-13, version 0.2.0* I love the idea of advertising products to reduce waste and get a bargain. Previously I used the app frequently, as the deals were great. However recently, I have been greatly disappointed. Every time I go to the shop looking for an advertised reduction, it hasn’t been on the shelf. Often the reductions are still on the app hours after I have visited the shop, which shouldn’t be the case if the app is updated ‘real-time’. This causes wasted journeys and disappointment. ### 2/5 — Can no longer use *2020-11-26, version 0.1.6* Used to love this app but now get a ‘please wait’ error when loading. Tried deleting app and reinstalling but now my login details are no longer recognised even though they are right and it won’t let me register again! Extremely poor!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only Iceland stores on it *2026-01-21, version 0.3.012* This may as well be called the Iceland app since those are the only stores that feature! ### 1/5 — Mr *2024-09-18, version 0.3.012* There 3 Spar stores in Omagh and 2 have been took off tha list . ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2024-01-30, version 0.3.008* Was good at the start when I first downloaded it. Was able to find some good bargains. The nearby Spar stores have started hiding reduced items now in the back of the store until closing time when the staff themselves buy them to bring home. This renders the app useless. I only realised this as a staff member I know through a friend told me they were doing this. Misleading when you spend money on fuel to drive to a shop to buy items that are showing as available on the app but never instore. These reduced items then disappear from the app when staff go home. Dishonest and wastes customers time. Would be good if more shops were added to the app that didn’t take the items for themselves ### 1/5 — Empty *2022-12-09, version 0.2.94* There’s literally nothing on this app, no restaurants anywhere ### 1/5 — Missing items *2021-09-26, version 0.2.4* This is a great idea in theory , however the Lagan valley Lisburn eurospar and greens in Lisburn are constantly having huge amounts of missing items. I drive over there as it’s advertised on the app only to find it’s not in the store. Brought this to the attention of Eurospar management who seemed unconcerned and uninterested . It looks to me like the staff are being offered these items first but they are not being run through the till in order to come off the app. So frustrating ! If this was sorted it’s otherwise brilliant. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2020-11-22, version 0.1.6* First day using this app. Saw reductions on app, went to Iceland Admiral Park and the reductions I wanted had sold out. Reductions are still showing as available on app. Presumably not real time updating via sales through the till. ### 1/5 — No data *2020-10-05, version 0.1.6* I’m in Washington, DC and there is no data in my area. The map is empty and I keep getting asked to turn on my notifications to learn when they have something. Looks like an abandoned app, at least for my area. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Please wait *2020-03-18, version 1.0.5* Constantly has please wait when you open it and just sticks there. ### 1/5 — Useless? *2020-01-22, version 1.0.5* Can’t really review an app that won’t let me set up an account but that in itself is a major flaw ### 1/5 — Crap *2019-12-25, version 1.0.5* Only gives spar reductions 👎🏻 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great savings to be had *2026-01-08, version 0.3.012* This has really helped me make my budget go further every week - thank you! ### 5/5 — Gander *2025-11-27, version 0.3.012* A great way to find local deals & save money. Much better than TGTG ### 5/5 — Saved £30 this month *2025-11-27, version 0.3.012* Honestly a game changer for my weekly shop. Iv saved thirty quid this month just checking the app before I pop into theco-op. Love it ### 5/5 — Nice little app *2025-11-27, version 0.3.012* Nice little app been using it a couple years and now they have Iceland which is not my usual but it is great to see the yellow stickers they have so I’ve saved a lot ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-05-24, version 0.2.100* Great app, launching in more areas now so better for most consumers ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-12-07, version 0.1.6* I used it to get reduced lunch for the next day ### 5/5 — Brilliant!!!! *2020-01-22, version 1.0.5* What a clever and amazing way to prevent food waste and save money! Super easy to use and a real revelation!!! ### 5/5 — Fab app!!! *2020-01-21, version 1.0.5* How amazing is this!!! Brilliant to be able to have this info at your fingertips... long overdue. Less waste for the shops surely but also a great way for the low income families to grab the bargains too. I’m not the best with technology but this app is very straightforward and easy to navigate and understand ### 5/5 — Awesome idea! *2020-01-21, version 1.0.5* What an amazing app! Great for costumers, shops and the environment. What’s not to love about that! Really intuitive app, clear and accessible. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2020-01-10, version 1.0.5* This is absolutely great! What a way to change how we live!
