### 4/5 — Great!

*2023-10-20, version 10.9.1*

It’s one of the best ice cream shops with great rewards program 👌🏻👌🏻

### 4/5 — Free Ice Cream (w/ points)

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

Easy enough to use and you can earn points for free ice cream!

### 4/5 — Ice cream breeze

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

Great easy to use app that makes your ice cream purchase a breeze, with loyalty points on every purchase. Great to be able to look through the flavour menu, but would be good to have a search function, as it can be hard to find what you are looking for when you have to scroll through many pages of flavours.

I’d love to see the following improvements: 1) add purchase history with flavours bought listed, and 2) being able to tag the flavours you have tried and those that are your favourites, for future reference and to share with friends and family.

### 3/5 — Easy to use & great benefits

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

This app is so easy to use in store, you just tell them the number in your app & they process the payment. It has always worked and the points mean free ice cream!

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

Amazing products and service, always. I’m a regular and I never feel judged 🐷🙌. Get on to the app reward system  fast and free🍦💕

### 5/5 — BUSSIN

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

love this app and the fact you can get free stuff 🫶🏼 makes the whole Messina experience even better than it is.

### 5/5 — Handy and easy to use

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

Love this app, has all the functions you need and I’ve regularly redeemed points :)

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

Great reward system

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

I love being able to pay and receive rewards via the app

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

It’s very convenient to use plus good benefits

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

Would also love the functionality to have a reward and pay in person

### 4/5 — Easy to collect points and pay

*2020-12-26, version 8.0.6*

Simple and easy to use, does its job well. Would love a list of current specials and Apple Watch comparability.

### 2/5 — Let down by “Add Payment Method”

*2020-12-09, version 8.0.6*

App is fine but it loses your card details frequently and the only way to re-enter them is by reading them from your physical credit card. I don’t have a physical credit card anymore - I only use Apple Pay and rely on the iPhone to fill my card details in apps I use. But that feature is not enabled on this app and so now I can’t add a credit card and the app is useless

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-01-11, version 11.2.0*

The app doesn’t work to add payment methods.  It sends a verification code but doesn’t indicate where to add the code.  The app provides no loyalty rewards without payment through the app.

### 1/5 — Messina Redfern

*2024-12-21, version 11.2.0*

The app charges twice when I made a purchase at the newly opened Messina Redfern outlet, although the supervisor on 21/12/2024 claims they only submitted once (and was very defensive about it). The glitch/bug needs to be rectified to prevent other customers from getting erroneously. I’m surprised no one picked this up.

### 1/5 — Really needs updating

*2024-09-01, version 11.2.0*

This app is really confusing to use and such an old interface and honestly a mess. Looks like they’re reviewing bombing their app also giving it five stars from bot accounts. 

Please fix up your app to make it more user friendly because right now it’s a hot mess.

### 1/5 — Payment on the app is terrible

*2024-01-27, version 10.11.1*

I like the app, but unfortunately I can’t use it as the only payment option is to give them your credit card details as there is no other option to pay in the app (through PayPal or Apple Pay).

### 1/5 — Limited payment options

*2023-05-24, version 10.6.0*

I downloaded the app added my cc and the following night my cc got hacked. It’s maybe a coincidence I don’t know, but I don’t like that. The only way I can pay is by adding my credit card details into the app is your lowest to use Apple Pay or PayPal a third study that I can trust

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2021-03-08, version 9.3.4*

I can logon on your website using desktop browsers and mobile browsers but the app refuses to accept the exact same username and passwords.

### 1/5 — Can’t get rid of saved offers

*2020-10-13, version 8.0.6*

If you save an offer you cannot cancel it later, and no longer have the points available. The only way to use them is to actually buy what was in the saved offer. This is a bug to fix and I am really waiting for it because I have two saved offers I want to cancel

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2020-07-18, version 8.0.6*

They automatically logged off my account, then made me reset my password for no reason. When I tried to log in again they say too many attempts.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2019-10-06, version 5.14.6*

It seems like Messina no longer supports this app (app won’t work and no releases for 9 months).

### 2/5 — No Apple Wallet support?

*2022-09-01, version 10.2.3*

App Store page states there’s Apple Wallet support, but it doesn’t appear this is the case once you download it.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2023-10-19, version 10.9.1*

I mean who doesn’t love points and free icecream? I eat a lot of it so worth the download. A cool feature to add would be pooling or gifting points to friends
