### 3/5 — Good Ice, Stupid Rules

*2026-06-24, version 1.23.3*

Love the ice and water. Card reader is iffy sometimes but can usually get it to work. It’s very stupid that I can’t just send one of my workers to get ice because I’m “too far away.” Many times cellular data messes up even when I’m close so if I say I’m there, it should believe me. If I choose the wrong location, that is on me. Fix that and it’s worth 5+ stars.

### 1/5 — Not too informative

*2025-10-04, version 1.23.3*

This app is not very informative. I would like to know how to get my free bag of ice. There are no instructions on the app at all and it makes no sense. Do you have to load your $15 deposit before you can get your free bag of ice? Where are the instructions for forgetting your free bag of ice? Is there a place on the machine where you can plug in your free bag of ice code? No!

### 1/5 — Zero help

*2025-09-20, version 1.23.3*

Worthless. No help finding ice machine. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Love twice ice not the app

*2025-08-30, version 1.23.3*

Only certain locations participate and not all locations are listed 🙄

### 1/5 — Get it together

*2025-08-18, version 1.23.3*

This business would make so much more money if they actually accepted payment. Cash readers don’t work, cards decline for no reason. Terrible business, every time I stop there ends up being a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Can’t register; it is parsing emails incorrectly

*2025-08-15, version 1.23.3*

RFC2822 says my email is valid, you vibe coded app rejects it.

### 1/5 — Love Twive the Ice, Hate this Scam of an App

*2025-07-27, version 1.23.3*

I use Twice the Ice all of the time, & one day their card reader on one of their machines wasn’t working, & I didn’t have cash & while trying to find a bag of ice near me that wasn’t over $5, I somehow ended up on their website trying to find another location. 

”Download the app & get a free bag of ice”… I thought, “this is how I get a bag of ice without having to pay an arm and a leg” so, I downloaded the app & created the account. But once I created the account, they never send you the “confirmation email” with the “link” that you are supposed to receive in order to receive the free bag of ice. They use the “free bag of ice” to farm downloads for their app, & to have people waste their time create accounts. 

I thought “okay, well that didn’t work but at least I can still earn a free bag of ice if I load 20 bucks onto my account” *I had noticed they had a rewards section on the app & that was my first reward that I could earn*

So I loaded 20 bucks onto my account. I figured why not because I use their machines often. And it meant a free bag of ice today. BUT it turns out, that the 4 Twice the Ice machines in my general location, didn’t even accept the app, stating something along the lines of “This location doesn’t accept the app, but you can still use cash” blah blah blah. So now I’m just out of $20, no bag of ice at all, & I have less memory on my phone because of this useless app.

### 1/5 — I couldn’t get my free ice

*2025-07-16, version 1.23.3*

What is going on this is awful because I tried to redeem my free bag of ice but it didn’t let me get it what is going on fix it

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2025-07-04, version 1.23.3*

The locations are not updated.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-06-02, version 1.23.3*

I downloaded this app because there was a QR code on the machine that said I could get my first bag free, I followed the instructions to receive the coupon code, it said the code was added to my account but it never showed in my account and I of course didn’t get my first bag free

### 1/5 — Stole my money

*2025-04-26, version 1.23.3*

I lost $12 at the machine it does not take change and when I inserted dollar bills it gave me nothing but change

### 1/5 — This is a SCAM DO NOT USE!

*2024-10-01, version 1.23.3*

You do not get a free bag of ice you have to spend 20 first it’s all a scam to get your credit card info because it says a bag of ice is $3 but I bought 2 and it charged me $10. My bank told me this place was a scam and is doing a chargeback on the full amount so they tried steal but ended up loosing it all! They says this place don’t ever use your card there!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-09-22, version 1.23.3*

I was excited to find this but unfortunately the app is difficult yo use. I have trouble finding locations and there is no way to report damaged machines. Will be deleting this app. If I could give it less than one star I would.

### 1/5 — Looking for machine locations -- Simple!

*2024-09-16, version 1.23.3*

I really like the Twice The Ice machines when they are working properly!  I do not need the account functions or pay by credit card functions.  Always pay cash or coins.

Not going to provide email or other information since it is not needed.  Even the location setting on my phone is not needed since I often want to find an ice and/or water machine that is no where near my present location.

Deleting this app!

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2024-08-21, version 1.23.3*

If you do find a location that accepts the app… the location of the machine is no where near the location on a map. Must be close to the machine in order for it to bend. Closest I can get to vend is .91 miles and I was standing in front of it!!!! Garbage

### 1/5 — Ridiculous minimum purchase for credit card

*2024-08-03, version 1.23.3*

Went to one of their locations that apparently stopped in time decades ago because was cash only. To buy with credit card I had to download this useless app to find out that the minimum card purchase is $15. I just wanted couple of $2.50 bags of ice. A business that forces consumers to use cash in 2024 is one on the way bankruptcy.

### 1/5 — Why did I download this?

*2026-06-23, version 1.23.3*

App doesn’t show any locations near me, only an hour or more away. Thankfully Google can find things for companies that can’t be bothered with app functionality. Also why no Bluetooth/WiFi or whatever? If a location doesn’t show on the app, you can’t use electronic payments. Thankfully, I always carry some cash for just such an occurrence, but still a royal pain. This app is useless to me and am deleting.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-06-13, version 1.23.3*

Cant even create a account it won’t let me create a password they are all invalid

### 1/5 — App keeps closing

*2026-05-27, version 1.23.3*

Everytime i try to add funds it closed out

### 1/5 — no free ice

*2026-05-09, version 1.23.3*

no free ice despite being advertised , app is very glitchy and laggy also

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-20, version 1.23.3*

Did not work at two separate locations. I believe this is some sort of scam.

### 1/5 — Stupid App

*2026-03-22, version 1.23.3*

What idiot thinks people will download an app and create a whole account just to buy some stupid ice. I ended up going to the gas station instead. And will continue to do so. I will never use an app to buy ice. Morons

### 1/5 — Artesia NM

*2026-03-02, version 1.23.3*

Been using this location for a long time...  when will it be back in operation???

### 1/5 — Stop this nonsense

*2026-01-21, version 1.23.3*

Why are you people playing this stupid games and trying to say that you are buying bags of ice you aren’t fooling anyone. I hope every single one of you get caught and prosecuted

### 1/5 — Not working!!!☹️

*2025-12-01, version 1.23.3*

We have tried to get ice since our account was reloaded in June of 2024 and cannot get the app to work with the machines in our area! We had to go ahead and pay cash since then. It’s now 12/1/25 and still not working. 
What is going on????

### 1/5 — ICE but NOT WATER???

*2025-10-12, version 1.23.3*

Who carries cash and coins anymore? These machines have both ice and water but for whatever reason you can only use the APP for ICE ONLY. So if I have to go to the GROCERY STORE to get COINS I’ll just get my WATER and ICE there at the store TOGETHER.

### 5/5 — App works fine, not sure why such a bad rating

*2026-04-02, version 1.23.3*

Based on the reviews I really had no hope here. needed bulk ice in the OKC metro & all I had was my card. App worked flawlessly, had 0 problems. People are really mad about having to make an account but if you plan on picking up ice again these are like the only machines in town so it’s not a bad thing to have your card info saved so you can just pull up the app & not have to do that whole process over again. All I did was press a button to dispense & it worked fine. Also in the reviews it said there was a .10 fee for using your card? That was not the case when I bought my ice today. Flat rate $3/16lb bag. No extra fees. Will be using the app again next time I need ice. Apple Pay would be cool if anyone is listening

### 5/5 — Worked Fine For Me

*2025-09-25, version 1.23.3*

Worked fine for me to get ice and relatively easy to work with. Heads up though, the free ice bag is 20lbs so have a plan for where it will go.

### 5/5 — Best App ever

*2024-10-01, version 1.23.3*

Downloaded the app here in South Carolina after the recent hurricane after wasting gas driving around looking for ice. App not only told me where machines were but also if they had ice. Was able to find a machine but it was not taking cash bunch of people standing around or trying to force cash into the machine. Added money to the app and was able to get the ice I needed. Showed everyone how to download install and get an account. Not bad for a 73 year old 😂

### 5/5 — What a great thing to have !

*2024-01-14, version 1.23.3*

I used this for the first time, in Wichita Kansas, last night and had absolutely no issues with it.  I got my free bag of ice, loaded funds to my account for future reference and it provided me locations in town. Once I got there and clicked the I’m here, it connected to the machine and I got my ice within a few seconds of being there.  Not sure how this rating is as low as it is- maybe when there are a lot of them in a large town- not sure but I had the best expected experience possible. 
- I don’t have to go inside and wait in a line for ten mins or so
- super affordable! $2 for 16 lbs and $3 for 20!?!! Yes pls!

### 5/5 — App works just fine!!

*2023-04-09, version 1.23.3*

Needed ice in a hurry since Sam’s is closed on Easter Sunday. Downloaded the app and was able to order Three 18lbs ice bags for the same price as a single 5lb-10lb bag from a local convenience store. Reporting live from Arlington, TX.

### 5/5 — Ice machine down

*2022-12-06, version 1.18.0*

The ice machine in Newburgh Indiana has been out of commission for a few months now. We get ice for our church a few times a month. 
Curious if you were aware of it it has had a sign saying not working but the water side is working.  Curiosity killed the cat.
  Just checking if you had any idea. Thanks Richard francis.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2022-10-10, version 1.18.0*

Wow, these machines used to not work even with cash/card. Now I can remotely dispense a bag of ice?! My experience was seamless. I was shocked it worked so well. Great job on this app! 

Add applepay and it will take it to the next level.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-06-25, version 1.6.2*

Awesome app!  Works awesome and i can’t wait to see what other functions they release.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2020-05-20, version 1.1.0*

Find value on ice; super easy to use app

### 4/5 — twicetheice Good

*2026-05-30, version 1.23.3*

Downloaded app. Got 2 free bags—Rewards. Not too hard to load money to card. Easy to vend-just press button in app and hold phone close to card reader. Don’t need to carry cash. Find a location on app. Need List view of Locations-easier to click it. Thanks.
