The app kept saying that there wasn’t a Homeland within 25-50 miles of my zip code which is false! Then, it kept trying to make me use instacart or doordash for delivery when I don’t want to use delivery. Everything else is fine (at least for now) but I got the app primarily for pickup. ### 2/5 — Updated app doesn’t work *2026-01-27, version 1.6.1* Whatever update you did to this app it no longer works. I enter my phone number and I receive a code that doesn’t work. You cannot skip ahead either. I deleted the app and reinstalled but it still doesn’t work. It’s pretty much worthless now. ### 2/5 — Awful *2025-07-31, version 1.4.0* This app is awful. So many of the items don’t have pictures to go along with the headings. If the heading doesn’t have details like how many ounces or count is in the item, you can’t enlarge the picture, if there is one. A lot of the items have distorted pictures. After you click on an item a lot of them don’t have details listed. It’s like they are trying to figure out how apps work. And they failed. Please look at other shopping apps and get this figured out! ### 1/5 — Hate the new app *2024-08-16, version 1.2.0* It rarely works at my store and they don’t or can’t do anything about it. What was wrong with the old system? Putting in the phone number and getting the good deals! I may have to stop shopping at Homeland as it’s actually costing me more now that the app rarely works!! ### 1/5 — Confusing *2024-07-29, version 1.2.0* Many customers come to our store and we are having a hard time finding a wallet on some android models. Many customers are angry they have to have the app in order to get digital sales. I think we need to fix this app to be more elderly people friendly. ### 2/5 — Digital deals *2024-07-26, version 1.2.0* I clip my digital deals day or at least hours before going to the store. I have yet been able to redeem my digital deal even with store associates help. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2024-07-21, version 1.2.0* Your app is terrible. I try to access it and it sends a code, code is not good try again. Did this several times and finally just gave up. TERRIBLE way to do business. ### 1/5 — Digital Deals *2024-07-19, version 1.2.0* You should fire who came up with Digital Deals and Digital Coupons. I mean it. In addition you should rename it digital frustration to reflect what it really is. If you don’t know what I am talking about, I’ll bet you don’t use it. ### 1/5 — New app doesn’t work *2024-07-19, version 1.2.0* My app has not worked since I uploaded the new one. Super frustrating! ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2024-07-19, version 1.2.0* It has taken me 24 hours and 15 tries to even be able to confirm my phone number with a code. Once I finally was able to get in after a lot of persistence it cannot find a store!!!! I live less than two miles away from homeland 😡😡😡😡 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — frustrating *2026-05-29, version 1.7.0* Buggy app locks up more often than it works ### 1/5 — Hate not having real paper *2026-01-08, version 1.6.1* My dad can’t operate the smart phone and has no computer. He always made his list according to the ad. I tried showing it to him on my phone and he has trouble seeing it. Really sucks a whole lot of the older generation can’t see the ads anymore!! ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2025-07-21, version 1.4.0* this app does nott work. it’s frustrating and a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-07-19, version 1.4.0* When you type an item you are looking for it pulls up 100 other things other than what you want to look for!!! ### 1/5 — False ads *2024-12-29, version 1.4.0* Items in the ad can not even be found in the app order to “clip the coupon”. ### 1/5 — Cannot STAY signed in or link other phone numbers to account *2024-12-06, version 1.3.0* Cannot link multiple family member phone numbers to account so you don’t have to call main person for code to sign in every time OR just stay signed in at all times. Share shopping list doesn’t seem to work (tried creating shopping list and can only paste words into list, keyboard does not pop up to be able to type). Cannot use app if I can’t reach main account holder for code that was texted to them to sign in. ### 1/5 — I don’t like *2024-09-11, version 1.2.1* I hate this new app and the way you do your adds !! ### 1/5 — Bye Simple. Welcome Complicated. *2024-09-09, version 1.2.1* The first time I attempted to use the app to take advantage of the digital deals, the young male cashier, said to me: customers are supposed to have their digital coupons already clipped before they come into the store on their phone apps. I nearly walked off without buying my items, until I maddeningly spoke: “ No! You get someone over here who can help me!!!” And I said it through gritted teeth. He did. And a middle aged female cashier helped me out tremendously. Not some long haired gen Xer or gen Zer or whatever they are called nowadays. 20 year olds who are constantly looking at their phones. I usually just use the “put in your phone number” device next to the checkout, but sometimes it’s not working. I was talked into getting an app when they were first available, when I walked into the store, and the young female employee was quite patient and helpful. Mainly what I don’t like about it, is the gas credits never accumulate with the new cell phone app. A manager gave me a name and number to call and ask questions about that. But no one answered and if there was an answering machine aka voice mail, no one returned my call. ### 1/5 — Usability *2024-09-04* I used this app all the time before it was changed. Now, it’s useless to m. I can’t see the ads on my phone because the pics are too small. Can’t see what is on sale. I shop sales and plan meals around that. The previous app was much nicer in that I could see sales by department, add things to my shopping list etc. No more! ### 1/5 — Bad app *2024-08-18, version 1.2.0* The old app was better. I want to add to my list from the ad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Homeland stores *2024-09-20, version 1.2.1* Sure like the deals 😁 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-09-11, version 1.2.1* Everything is great! I just wish they had more meat sells thru the year ### 5/5 — Newby @ the App *2024-08-03, version 1.2.0* For my first time using the Homeland App this was a breeze. Shopping made easy. ### 5/5 — octo3.14 *2024-07-26, version 1.2.0* I love the new look of the app! However, it would be great if the back navigation worked on swipe. It's a bit annoying to tap the back button at the top of the screen every time. The coupons are fantastic—I saved quite a bit while shopping today. I couldn't do anything last Friday, but now everything works perfectly. Was it another Microsoft glitch? ### 5/5 — The best app in my city *2024-07-25, version 1.2.0* I save today $20 very like it ### 5/5 — Bringing Savings to Your Home(page)! *2024-07-25, version 1.2.0* App is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Plenty of high value coupons make saving money worthwhile! ### 5/5 — Love the ads *2024-07-25, version 1.2.0* Love the ads on the homepage carousel. Love seeing the ads on the category preview too. Love the fact I can clip coupons and redeem my coupons allowing me to save money ### 5/5 — Effective & Simple *2024-07-18, version 1.2.0* Once you understand how to use the app and its interface functions like the scan barcode under the wallet, which functions as your portable Homeland Rewards card. But even more so since you can clip your coupons ahead of time before check out or even going into the store, once you scan your in app barcode all of your clipped coupons are applied once you scan the valid items. Only issues I’ve noticed are particularly during the 3-4 day weekend sales, sometimes a particular meat or produce item is unavailable through the app, but usually it IS available in store through the pin pad at any checkout. 5/5 ### 4/5 — Pros and Cons *2024-09-11, version 1.2.1* Works well . Pros: Easy to navigate ads, coupons, digital deals. Cons: Lost the ability to create and add multiple shopping lists. Lost the ability to simply click on an item in the ad to put on the list. Now you have to use the search box to find an item before adding it to the list. Used to be able make a shopping list in less than 2 minutes..now it takes at least 15 minutes so I don’t bother. I take a picture of the item I want and search my photos at the store. It works but a list would be better. ### 3/5 — Grocery list *2024-07-18, version 1.2.0* Needs a way to add sales items onto the grocery list like the old app had --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
