### 4/5 — Latest version is buggy

*2026-07-16, version 2.5.1*

Why is the small “scan” button right next to the large “check out” button? Why are the buttons the same color? Why is the scan button so small when it is used many times to add items, and why is the check out button so large when it is used only once to check out at the end of shopping? Do the app designers actually use the app like us regular humans? Do they have small fingers?Update: v 2.5.1 seems to be better, but it still has errors scanning digital coupons. “Scan here in app” coupons are not working. 2.3.5 is still buggy. Multiple crashes, difficulty logging in to account. Not adding scanned items. 
Rock solid until the latest version 2.3.4. Crashes often, some items don’t register when scanned, multiple errors with a credit card that expires at the end of the current month.

### 4/5 — Love heb go

*2026-02-23, version 2.5.1*

My only issue with the new version of the scanner, the scan button is too close to the checkout button.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-01-23, version 2.5.1*

The best part is I can check prices if there’s no tag

### 5/5 — Very convenient

*2025-12-25, version 2.5.1*

Must have for overnight partners

### 5/5 — HEB Go is the best thing ever!

*2025-12-18, version 2.5.1*

I’ve used this app for years and I don’t know why someone would ever stand in line again! The app is so streamlined and continues to improve all the time! Out of 100s of shopping experiences with the GO app, I have had almost no problems with it and if there was a problem, the staff is so helpful in fixing it and getting me on my way! I hope GO is implemented in every HEB across Texas!

### 5/5 — Checking Out

*2025-12-15, version 2.5.1*

My least favorite part of grocery shopping is the checkout process.  The self checkout is super time consuming as there are only two bagging areas and it is a slow weighing process or you have scan and go where it never seems to work the first time and then you have a small little area to bag your groceries or you can wait in line for the 3 checkers.

### 5/5 — I love the Go app!

*2025-12-13, version 2.5.1*

It is so convenient especially this time of the year when the normal lines are so long!

### 5/5 — Fast

*2025-12-13, version 2.5.1*

Quick and easy

### 5/5 — Improvement

*2025-12-12, version 2.5.1*

The new format and process is cleaner and faster. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Love it when it works

*2025-11-23, version 2.3.5*

We’ve been using this app since it launched and it made grocery shopping so much easier, but lately we get about halfway through our trip and the app stops working. I restart my phone, I redownload the app. Sometimes it does the trick, but a lot of times it doesn’t. I want to like this app so bad

### 5/5 — Don’t Wait In Line

*2025-11-05, version 2.3.4*

Once u get hang of scanning everything before it goes in your cart The checkout system is super easy and FAST!! I love it😀

### 2/5 — Great Concept - But Buggy

*2025-10-26, version 2.3.4*

I’ve been using this at my local H.E.B. Plus, since it was first introduced (perhaps 5 years ago?) I was forgiving of bugs at first, since this was a new software/ hardware platform, but I expect the software to be a bit more stable, by now. I do not believe that I have EVER had a shopping experience where the app hasn’t either crashed on me, hung (forcing me to perform a hard exit & relaunch) or some other issue. Lately, when the app crashes, I will loose several of my most recently scanned items, so I must carefully look through the item that I have bagged (as I shop) to see if they are among the items still listed in my digital cart. I then need to rescan all of those items lost, when the application crashed. 

I also don’t quite understand why I need to input Digital Coupons in the MY H-E-B app, so that they will be applied at checkout in this app? Why have two separate apps in the first place? How about fixing the scan / pay & go functionality and simply integrating it into the MY H-E-B app?

### 1/5 — No HEB cash back

*2026-06-04, version 2.5.1*

I do not get my 5% back on my HEB debit card when I use my HEB debit card.

### 1/5 — Disabled Users

*2026-03-17, version 2.5.1*

Using this is incredibly difficult now that they moved the scan button. I’d use my right hand but I don’t have it anymore.

### 1/5 — Sign in

*2025-12-18, version 2.5.1*

Been a while since I’ve used it so it auto signed me out. Tried signing back in and as soon as it asks for the verification code, it goes back to the loading screen and just gets stuck there. Can’t do anything. I’ve tried closing the app, and have tried with multiple networks to sign back in. It’s an app issue. Really sucks since I come in before the registers open and lately the self checkouts either are messed up, or not turned on at all for the overnight people

### 1/5 — Latest version is buggy

*2025-11-28, version 2.3.5*

Update: v 2.3.5 is still buggy. Multiple crashes, difficulty logging in to account. Not adding scanned items. 
Rock solid until the latest version 2.3.4. Crashes often, some items don’t register when scanned, multiple errors with a credit card that expires at the end of the current month.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-11-27, version 2.3.5*

Three times now I get to check out and then it shows that I’m not in a HEB go store

### 1/5 — Not available in most markets

*2025-11-14, version 2.3.5*

Would be a great concept if they actually had it in my town. From the app's map it looks like 16 stores. What is taking so long?

### 1/5 — Where’s my HEB!?!

*2025-10-26, version 2.3.4*

The new HEB in Pflugerville does not show up in this app!

### 1/5 — Latest version is buggy

*2025-09-19, version 2.3.4*

Rock solid until the latest version 2.3.4. Crashes often, some items don’t register when scanned, multiple errors with a credit card that expires at the end of the current month.

### 1/5 — Pretty Good. Not Great

*2025-08-17, version 2.3.3*

Ever since the new version update two weeks ago we lost all of our receipt history and no long get new receipts when we check out. This is a pathetic screw up on your end. I now have no way to show I purchased something if I need to return it. Ridiculous!!!

### 1/5 — Lost connection

*2025-07-26, version 2.3.0*

I had all but 2 items scanned and bagged and then it said retry at an HEB Go location. I shop at 1604 and Blanco. I had 2 partners try to help me and no luck. Did everything from shutting ap and logging off and also restarted my phone. So frustrating to unpack my groceries to have a cashier ring me up,

### 5/5 — Grocery shopping made so much easier!

*2026-07-24, version 2.5.1*

There have been countless times when I’ve gone grocery shopping and wished that there was a way to quickly and easily track my groceries and pay for them without having to stand in line. This app has been a total game changer! Since it’s inception and launch at the H-E-B in Lakeway, Texas, the H-E-B Go app has saved me countless hours in line as I go grocery shopping at least three times a week. No more fumbling for payment cards or anything of the sort. Everything is done from my phone quickly and easily. Huge shout out to your apps team who created this application. That manager deserves a promotion and the apps team deserves a raise! Great job, H-E-B!

### 5/5 — Fast and Easy

*2026-05-11, version 2.5.1*

Love the convenience of this app

### 5/5 — It works like a charm

*2026-05-03, version 2.5.1*

Time saving

### 5/5 — So grateful

*2026-04-27, version 2.5.1*

So thankful and grateful to have access to this for our partners! Specially, during holidays and evenings. It’s also the right thing to do for our customers who are often in a rush themselves!

### 5/5 — Tweak needed

*2026-03-20, version 2.5.1*

I love the HEB Go app with the ability to scan and bag my purchases as I go. I suggest a tweak to the current layout. Having the “scan” button right above the “check out” button is too close. I have frequently hit the check out button when I wanted to scan something new. Maybe switch the placement of the order total and the check out button.

### 5/5 — Service

*2026-03-14, version 2.5.1*

Perfect!  Love HEB Go.

### 5/5 — Efficiency

*2026-03-08, version 2.5.1*

Love the efficiency of scan & go!

### 5/5 — I love HEB go

*2026-02-28, version 2.5.1*

This is so convenient and simple- wish it was in more stores, but so thankful it is in my HEB.  (306 in New Braunfels)

### 5/5 — Different apps

*2026-02-19, version 2.5.1*

Heb go and heb app should be combined and its very hard to maintain two apps and create confusion

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-02-03, version 2.5.1*

Fast and convenient for breaks and lunches!
