### 1/5 — Worked great! Until it didn't. Now garbage.

*2026-08-08*

I got this app because the scanning devices in the store would often freeze, generally at the last moment when I was about to check out. This app solved that problem nicely -- for a while. Now it freezes or shuts down after EACH AND EVERY scan. It's become almost worthless.

What I now do is start with the store device, and then switch over to the app if the device fails. That at least saves me from having to unload the whole bag (or more) for re-scanning.

### 1/5 — Fix the app

*2026-07-24*

The idea to scan and go is perfect.  The app takes the scan fast but it closes each time. If you use the in store scanners my experience is about 60% they do not work, freeze or won’t work at check out.  Don’t ask a staff about either one they simply do not know or are so unfriendly about it.  Please fix the app!!!

### 1/5 — Was a good app but now a fizzless app

*2026-07-09*

As having a giant store in my area I enjoyed using this app to scan my items when the guns we’re down but lately the app is not a good app as for the past month or so the app crashes each time I scan something. Can you please fix the bug so this app can be awesome again.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-06-24*

This use to work well for a short period of time. Now every time you try to scan an item the app closes. You can resume the trip and wait for it to load but by item three you are absolutely done. Fix this! Why anyone would think this is ok for a major grocery store is beyond me.

### 2/5 — Stability issues

*2026-06-24*

App crashes after each item I scan. I liked it better when the scan it functionality was available through the main giant app instead of this standalone app.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-05-01*

The app was working. Now every time I scan something the app quits. Then I have to restart it. A prompt will come up asking me if I want to start a new cart or resume the shopping trip I started. I’ve tried both options and every time I scan something, the app quits again.

### 1/5 — App freezes or closes after each scan

*2026-04-26*

Absolutely terrible app. Once it launches, you scan an item and it either blows the app away or it freezes and you have to manually close the app. I had to launch the app for every single item in my order to get it to work. In 2026, this should not be the case.

### 1/5 — Application crashes after every scan

*2026-04-12*

This application barely works after every item that I scan. I have to either force quit the application or the application force quit itself. I also have to use three different registers when checking out because none of them recognize the barcode they get displayed at the end. It’s kind of surprising that they even advertise this as a suitable option.

### 3/5 — Works but with bugs

*2026-04-08*

The current version has a nasty bug where the app quits after every item scanned.  So I’m constantly re-launching the app and re-syncing my cart from the store’s server.

This problem only started happening with the latest update, so hopefully this will be fixed soon.

### 1/5 — System Issues

*2026-03-30, version 25.318.217*

Every time I go to scan an item it goes down and I have to do a resume. I didn’t have this problem on my IPhone 8 until I got my IPhone 16. It’s totally worthless and frustrating on my new phone.
