### 3/5 — card doesn’t link purchases

*2025-12-15, version 3.7.1*

if you load money on the gift card in the app it should transfer your purchases to earn points,  you shouldn’t have to scan separately

### 2/5 — Too much dysfunction

*2025-11-17, version 3.7.1*

There is no reason for a company of this size to have such a dysfunctional app. It only works 50% of the time.. I’ll be pressing buttons and it simply does not register that I’ve pressed it. (Just now it said earn $2 with order ahead and I couldn’t press buttons to select my coffee) Not compatible with Apple Pay. Added money to a digital gift card and it would not let me check out with the gift card for an order ahead, which was the whole reason I downloaded the app. Points are nice I guess.

### 4/5 — Great redesign but unable to order a coffee

*2024-01-07, version 2.1.42*

If I try, there’s no option for just a normal blend of drip coffee with chocolate nut flavor and cream.  They ‘require’ you to pick a special blend that includes an up-charge.  Makes no sense to me.

### 2/5 — Love HD, but this app is terrible.

*2023-11-03, version 2.1.42*

My old phone would not scan receipts with the old version of the app and I always had to enter manually. Now have a new 15 pro max and even though the app was recently updated I still cannot scan receipts. I’ve tried everything, it just doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — App not as good as the coffee

*2023-10-19, version 2.1.39*

Love the value honey dew brings their consumers. The lacking price is the app, it worked fine before the update in October ‘23 and now it wont start…argh!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-09-30, version 2.0*

The functionality of this app is horrific the scanner for the barcode on your receipt. Only works about 10% of the time otherwise you have to put it in manually which kind of defeats the purpose of the convenience of scanning on the go in addition to that your rewards points are not directly connected to your card reloads which makes it completely pointless to even use really because you’re doing so many extra steps just to get a free coffee once in a while, I would use this app a heck of a lot more if the scanner just worked right and rewards were connected

### 3/5 — Receipt bar code scanner is finicky

*2023-08-19, version 2.0*

The in app bar code scanner for reward points from receipts needs to be held much further away from the receipt than the red viewfinder lines would suggest.

### 2/5 — Charged extra for no ice

*2023-08-01, version 2.0*

I drive an hour to my office and was getting my lemonade or iced mocha madness with no ice because my drink would water down.  I know most places charge .25 for a cup of ice but I have never been charged extra money for no ice.

First your coffee rolls are smaller now u change for no ice.  Not going to be your customer for much longer.

### 5/5 — Best coffee in town

*2023-08-01, version 2.0*

Love Honey Dew

### 3/5 — Apple Wallet support for rewards code needed

*2023-07-30, version 2.0*

Please let me add my rewards QR code to Apple Wallet. It would be so convenient to have my code appear on my lock screen when I enter a HD location.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-06-18, version 3.12.2*

The app isn’t even operational. It wouldn’t let me into my account so I created a new one, and the. Once in the app I couldn’t actually select anything to add to my cart. Useless.

### 1/5 — Worst ordering app

*2025-10-10, version 3.7.1*

Worst app I’ve ever used thought every location around me was closed and wouldn’t let me order terrible app

### 1/5 — Update

*2025-08-31, version 3.7.1*

New update keeps knocking me off I lost 2,500 points old saying if it isn’t broke DO NOT FIX IT

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-05-23, version 2.45.5*

Very difficult to redeem rewards on this app. Orders do not process to stores quick enough. I end up waiting five minutes or more in the store before the order slip comes through. They should process much quicker than that. Also has issues with store locations. I like honey dew better than dunkin but because the app is so difficult I do not go. With the ridiculous prices everyone is charging I’m pretty much just going to make my own at home from now on. $4 for 50 cents worth of coffee. No thanks

### 1/5 — Someone help this thing!

*2025-04-30, version 2.45.5*

What a clunky, not user friendly app!! I got the app a few days ago. Among the many issues… Unable to pay for an order via my credit card. Had to buy a gift card to order. The order of items is all over the place. Seasonal drinks are buried after food items. After you place an order it says your items will be ready in 15 min… at a NOT BUSY location?!  I could go on and on. It’s 2025. This should not be.

### 1/5 — Must scan a separate barcode to earn points

*2024-11-02, version 2.45.1*

So when paying I haven’t been earning any points. I load a gift card because I can’t find a way to just debit my card. So no points. Each transaction of I want points I have to scan the rewards barcode and then pay. As opposed to the dunks app that automatically has you earn points per visit just by paying. I don’t even bother anymore. Was hoping to replace dunks. But their app is way better.

### 1/5 — Complete waste of time

*2024-03-25, version 2.41.1*

Expect to be charged extra to order your coffee ahead and have endless pop up ads that force you to click through to get by

### 1/5 — Cannot sign in

*2023-10-21*

App is useless if I can’t sign in and no email provided sent to me to reset when requested Please fix so I don’t lose points Should kept old one that worked

Stores and coffee are great but app unusable if u can’t sign in

### 1/5 — Unknown Error

*2023-10-20, version 2.1.39*

I love honey dew, but this new app is terrible.  He.every time I try to use it I am prompted to sign in again. Every time i sign in a message pops up “unknown error”
What exactly was wrong with the old app? The one that actually worked to collect and track rewards points.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-10-15, version 2.0*

My iPhone is new enough and up to date, but the app won’t let me order. I tap the location I want to order from and nothing happens. Tried resetting the app and restarting my phone, nothing works. Awful.

### 5/5 — No Yogurt parfait at this location

*2025-01-29, version 2.45.5*

I ordered on the app and they don’t sell the yogurt parfait at this location.they were very nice and let me get another item.probably should take it off their menu.
Thanks, Kimberly Gocal E.Bridgewater MA location 60 Franklin Street

### 5/5 — Excellent Service

*2024-08-30, version 2.43.0*

Always receive excellent service at this location. Staff is always friendly and fast.

### 5/5 — I approve

*2024-05-25, version 2.41.1*

It took a while for Honey Dew to get their stores online with the app, but I’m glad they did! Now I can leave Dunks and their inferior rewards program in the dust!

### 5/5 — Love Honey Dew

*2024-02-04, version 2.1.42*

We love Honey Dew, I just wish more attention was paid to for our mobile order. Our food was hot and delicious- just some of it was not what we ordered

### 5/5 — Mission accomplished

*2023-11-14, version 2.1.42*

The app was frustrating at first but Mad props for continued efforts to make app work. Thanks for fixing issues with redemptions. As a frequent customer to HD the stores and customers service has been excellent. Keep up good work when it comes to coffee I prefer HD over DD or MCD

The problem I have is HD is not up to par with promotions like DD SB It surprises me that no more free giveaways

### 5/5 — New App

*2023-10-20, version 2.1.39*

There is a problem with this new app.  When attempting to create my account, I enter all of my information and submit it. Then I get a message that a code was sent to my phone and instructs me to enter it on the screen. The problem is I never receive the code.  I tried it 3 times and gave up. I checked to ensure my phone number was entered correctly but never received a code.

### 5/5 — i love the new app!!

*2023-10-20, version 2.1.39*

the new app looks so much better and is so much easier to use, thanks honey dew ❤️

### 5/5 — I Love Honey Dew!!!

*2023-09-03, version 2.0*

I love everything honey dew! I love the products and the customer service!!!

### 5/5 — Great Customer Service

*2023-08-15, version 2.0*

I want to say every time I come to the Honey Dew on Cumberland (2130 Mendon Rd location) which isn’t too often because I don’t live close by, but when I do, I always get greeted, the staff is extremely friendly and patient when I’m deciding what to get for my kids. Tiffany is someone who I had only encountered maybe once or twice but she remembered me and is always very friendly. Today I met Gianna who was working with her and she was such a pleasure to meet as well. Great staff! They always make my coffee the right way and make you feel welcomed and not rushed at all. 

The only thing I can say other than a great experience every time I come to this one is that I really am hoping that you guys decide to bring back the powder donuts that are filled with the chocolate on the inside because those are so delicious and I haven’t had one in years! I would definitely make the drive more often for those!
