### 2/5 — Good concept but needs work

*2026-08-06*

By default, not every store should notify me if a bag is available. I should only be notified if I enroll into notifications of particular stores. I’m getting bombarded from irrelevant opportunities. To fix this, simply disable store alerts unless a user opts to enroll.

### 5/5 — Great deals

*2026-06-28*

Have been to 4 new places in the first week. Great way to try new places, get great deals and save food from being wasted.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-06-22, version 3.2.2*

I’ve been using Goodie Bag for nearly 2 years now, love it. Growing fast!

### 5/5 — Options

*2026-06-13, version 3.2.2*

Just when I’m stumped for the next meal, Goodie Bag has a solution!  I’ve never been disappointed.  Great concept & app.

### 5/5 — Fun options

*2026-06-08*

Makes you go to places you might not have. Some are good deals, others not so much (small or old food). Explore and find out your favorites!

### 5/5 — Great App for Saving Food & Money!

*2026-05-30, version 3.2.2*

I love this app! It helps reduce food waste while giving costumers amazing deals on food that would otherwise go to waste. The prices are great, the portions are usually generous, and it’s a win-win for both customers and local businesses. I’ve discovered some great places through this app and will definitely keep using it.Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — Absolute trash of a company

*2026-04-30, version 3.2.0*

I had credits on my account that they decided to delete with no warning. I haven’t even used their service yet. Well you can keep the bs 15 credits cuz i am deleting my account.

### 1/5 — Still nothing

*2026-04-28, version 3.2.0*

Nothing ever I the area
If you’re not in the highly limited area just delete the app and move on

### 1/5 — Useless update

*2026-04-16*

It is now impossible to select just the specific vendors from which I receive notifications. The app sends notifications for every vendor in my area by default so I have to turn off notifications completely. When I unselect vendors the app resets them. I have given up and deleted the app.

### 5/5 — It’s so rewarding!

*2026-04-13*

I’ve tried three places through the app already! It feels rewarding to know that there are so many different places for me to try, and the rewards system is so great! Within 3 days of the launch I’ve been rewarded enough for me to get free meals and snacks the past three days! Just be sure to look into the place you order from before committing <3
