### 4/5 — Difficult to use.

*2026-04-21, version 26.11.0*

It seems I have to navigate through this very carefully so not to cancel whenever I make a change. I just find it difficult to use.

### 2/5 — Shopping List Issue

*2026-03-11, version 25.42.0*

The app overall is decent but one big issue ruins it. If you want to make your shopping list in advance, forget it. If you make a list, but close the app, it’s gone. I found this out after spending about a half hour picking items and creating a list only to get to the store and finding when I open the app that there is no list. This is aggravating in the extreme! The old version of the app saved your list automatically. Seems like there should be an easy fix for this.

### 2/5 — App needs a lot of refinement

*2026-01-08, version 25.42.0*

This app needs a lot of refinement. Had to go back and forth to add credit card . For each item I searched for, had difficulty bringing up search bar . A drop down kept covering it up. Using iPhone.  Almost cancelled order. Frustrating.

### 4/5 — Delivery spot

*2025-12-23, version 25.42.0*

I’m reasonably satisfied with Heinens grocery and delivery. It certainly depends on the shopper. It seems Heinen’s does not pass along choice of delivery spot in case I asked for delivered to the rear door and note that the driveway goes all the way to the back and there’s a place to turn around instead the Heinens drivers stop and deliver it to the front door terrifically inconvenient for them however, the Whole Foods and other grocer delivers always go to the back door so I would urge you to pass it along to your drivers to read the notes first.

### 2/5 — Website doesn’t work well

*2025-11-24, version 25.42.0*

Trying rj support local business instead of Amazon but the app doesn’t work well and there is NO customer support. ZERO. Any company thinking they can save a buck by removing a minimum wage Custimer service agent and think we don’t notice? THINK AGAIN. We can smell Corporate greed a mile away.

### 5/5 — Great store!

*2025-10-03, version 25.25.4*

Glad for the app update. Much easier to navigate now - we love Heinen’s!

### 3/5 — New interface is difficult to use

*2025-10-03, version 25.25.4*

New interface is difficult to use!     And there doesn’t seem to be a place to leave a tip!

### 2/5 — Hate the app

*2025-10-01, version 25.25.4*

Least intuitive app I’ve ever used.

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2025-09-24, version 25.25.4*

The new app is slow and painful to use. It only loads a few items at a time then you have to wait awhile for the next batch to show up.  Please make it like the original app where it was easy to scroll through.  Search could also be improved.

### 3/5 — Heinens app

*2025-09-22, version 25.25.4*

Not the best. I’ve told them over and over. Please go back to Instacart. So much easier to use. I like some things at Heinens after 57 years shopping!  Now using deli, I love Instacart and wish Heinens app was smoother.

### 4/5 — Useful Easy to Use App

*2025-09-22, version 25.25.4*

Heinens is our favorite local grocery store and I am grateful we now have an app to place delivery and pick-up orders. The app is very easy to use. The search bar is NOT phenomenal but, it isn’t terrible either. Overall it’s a MUST HAVE app if you are too busy or sick to get groceries done yourself.

### 4/5 — Good app bad search functionality

*2025-09-15, version 25.25.4*

The app is serviceable and has gotten better overtime, but still the search functionality is quite basic and often pulls up obscure results. If the developers can work on the search functionality, it could be a significant improvement.

### 2/5 — Update removed ability to contact store with issues

*2025-09-11, version 25.25.4*

In the previous version of the app, you could report issues with an order very easily and contact customer support directly from the app as well as rate experiences with shoppers and delivery drivers. These features were completely removed. Now if you want to report an item was missing, damaged, or incorrect, you have to call or email the store and hope they care enough to resolve issues (they do not).

### 3/5 — New website.

*2025-09-04, version 25.25.4*

The new website for shopping is far inferior to the original one. Finding products you want to purchase can be almost impossible. There is no good way to browse an aisle, which, you could do very easily in the old system.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Outdated and expensive

*2026-07-26, version 26.11.0*

The app much like the store is outdated. No easy returns, no customer loyalty, expensive prices, $10 per delivery. They are closing all over

### 1/5 — Stick to Groceries

*2026-01-18, version 25.42.0*

Search capabilities are elementary, saving capabilities and memory are barely existent, glitchy when performing large query searches, and so much more. Stop being cheap and just let Instacart do it for you.

### 1/5 — Difficult

*2025-11-21, version 25.42.0*

Not easy to find items. Many things are not available to online buyers. Of course, Heinens is first rate in customer service, but the app could be improved

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2025-11-07, version 25.42.0*

App won’t let me edit my order for tomorrow, had to log on the computer for it to work. Still won’t let you reorder past items if they have a weight. FIX IT

### 1/5 — Get real

*2025-10-10, version 25.25.4*

This app is a mess

### 1/5 — App is working horribly

*2025-10-05, version 25.25.4*

It kept tying me out. Wouldn’t accept a change of address for the payment. Had to redo it like 10 times very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Liked the old app better

*2025-08-29, version 25.25.4*

Not a fan of the new app. Will not rotate on screen if I want to use my tablet with a keyboard.

### 1/5 — Update is Terrible

*2025-08-27*

The update no longer allows you to reorder a past order (error message). It also does not save my notes, so each new order/weekly shopping trip I’m having to retype all my notes again. It also does not let you search and choose preferred substitutions, Heinens wants you to type all the possibilities you’d like in the notes. That is ridiculous and not time saving. 
Finally, have they done away with the shopper texting with questions and updates?

### 1/5 — Ruined the app

*2025-08-25, version 25.25.4*

I am seriously disliking the new updated app..I have not received items I ordered, finding items is a challenge, updating the order is difficult, and I am not notified when my when my shopper begins, nor when my order is actually completed. Also, I can’t communicate with the shopper. The old app needed some tweaking but this update ruined it.

### 1/5 — Your new web site for home delivery is horrendous

*2025-08-22, version 25.25.4*

I have been using your home delivery service for over 2 years. I use it weekly if not more. Your new site is absolutely horrible. It is hard to find products and is very user unfriendly. 
Unfortunately due to this new change I couldn’t find most of the products I need and had to order them from Walmart instead 😩
I sure hope it gets better

### 5/5 — Prefer the old website

*2025-12-16, version 25.42.0*

I used your website many times in the past to order groceries to be picked up and it was easier to operate and much less complicated for me. This newer one gives me troubles.

### 5/5 — When you want top quality

*2025-12-10, version 25.42.0*

Heinen’s has the best produce in town, hands down. Their meat and seafood departments are great, too, with very helpful staff who really know their stuff!

### 5/5 — Great for catering orders

*2025-11-22, version 25.42.0*

Love ordering from Heinens and seeing past orders and grocery purchases on the app! Great option to do at anytime, verse needing to go in or call.

*2025-11-02, version 25.25.4*

Delivery or pick-Up is great! I’ve used both and highly recommend them!
