### 3/5 — Love ingles, but the app needs work.

*2026-08-16, version 20260810*

I go out of my way to shop at an American owned store.  I love ingles.  But the app is not living up to its potential.  The search functions seem incapable of hitting key words.  I searched French onion soup and got lots of results but not the Campbells one I needed.  Then I searched Campbell and Campbells French onion soup was in the results.  On my iPhone, the app won’t let my phone auto populate my card information for payment.  I have to manually enter my card information, name, address, etc.  Not the end of the world but time consuming and inconvenient, not to mention that typos mean I have to do it 2 or 3 times sometimes, even more time consuming and completely unnecessary.  I’m an app dev so if you’re looking for a good remote worker to fix some of this for you, give me a call.

### 2/5 — Needs debit card update

*2026-08-12, version 20260810*

Can’t save my debit card in system

### 2/5 — Ingles app

*2026-08-09, version 20260805*

Too often doesn’t work

### 2/5 — Difficult to find things

*2026-08-06, version 20260518*

Many items couldn’t be located

### 3/5 — In store shopper

*2026-08-01, version 20260518*

The ability to add items, see isle or store departments, and pricing is great. But the app is completely geared to curbside pickup when it could be more. I’m new to the app, composed a list that showed locations and emailed it to myself to print out and carry to the store for reference. The pricing and locations are lost when it’s emailed. Frankly, location is more important than pricing to me. (The Publix app prints out showing locations.) It would be wonderful if the Ingles app was tailored to the in store customer, too. Ingles is my go-to store. Locations, please.

### 3/5 — Search engine is hard to use.

*2026-07-15, version 20260518*

Your search engine is practically useless. In many cases If I type in a particular brand name item nothing comes up.

### 3/5 — Checkout process

*2026-07-09, version 20260518*

Placing items in cart is easy, but the checkout process wouldn’t load my payment info over numerous attempts - eventually I discovered you had to put capital letter then lowercase letter for the state, and that’s the only way it would work. Very frustrating, as it didn’t tell you what the error was with payment.

### 2/5 — Yeah

*2026-07-07, version 20260518*

Needs a way to save information or at least your order info if something goes wrong you have to re enter everything

### 4/5 — Ingles Card in Apple Wallet?

*2026-07-02, version 20260518*

I’m still becoming familiar with the app and I appreciate Ingles has it. Can you make it so we can add our Ingles card to our Apple Wallet? Thank you!

### 2/5 — Kathy

*2026-07-01, version 20260518*

It is hard to find certain items that I know you carry. Last 2 times I have had trouble with getting my payment to go through. This time I had to enter my card information 3 times. Please improve the online ordering experience!!

### 3/5 — Difficult

*2026-05-30, version 20260518*

Great service once the order is entered, but finding desired items is painful and time consuming. Items not found is the usual response i.e. no sherbet in current order because I could never find it.

### 2/5 — App is not user friendly …

*2026-05-26, version 20260501*

… in some aspects. In others it works ok. 

I like that I can make a favorites list as a go-to for frequently purchased items. 

I DO NOT LIKE having to put my card information in every time I check out. 

Lots of items are mislabeled with the wrong photo or no photo at all. 

And at least for the last 48 hours the app has been down entirely.

### 4/5 — Ingles app

*2026-05-17, version 20260501*

App is great, wish it would save payment info or let you use Apple Pay.

### 3/5 — Decent not the best

*2026-05-13, version 20260501*

Doesn't compare to other grocery app. You have to have the exact name of the product or it will say can't find product. And it doesn't keep card on file like other apps.

### 3/5 — Wished cards saved

*2026-05-10, version 20260501*

Overall works fine but wished cards would be saved. Also wish more
Products that are inside the store are available online.

### 3/5 — Search engine delays order. item not worded EXACTLY right u get no results. Frustrating.

*2026-05-06, version 20260501*

My only complaint is the search engine. I was hoping with the updated app it would improve, but if you don’t have the item like milk bone dog biscuits, that’s an example for a long time. It doesn’t come up under dog treats. It doesn’t come up under milk bone it doesn’t come up under milk bone with the M and the B capitolized. It shouldn’t take five tries for one item on many items and I’m a good speller unless they’ve always dictate which I don’t do one shopping it delays me like 20 minutes and it’s very frustrating. PUBLIX is 50 %faster but i love ingles

### 3/5 — App Needs Some Work

*2026-04-26, version 20260316*

The app needs to be easier to find items and it needs to save credit card information so you don’t have to enter it every single time you place an order along with your address

### 3/5 — Missing products

*2026-04-19, version 20260316*

Sometimes I’m looking for a specific item that I know is in the store and get the “no product found”.  Very annoying

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Products

*2026-08-11, version 20260805*

Too hard to find items that you want

### 1/5 — Horrible process

*2026-07-18, version 20260518*

Horrible process

### 1/5 — Save details!

*2026-07-06, version 20260518*

You need to add a reorder option. And be able to save card details to your profile. And work on free delivery.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-06-27, version 20260518*

The app needs to save credit card info or accept other forms of payment such as PayPal so you don’t have to completely fill out your life history every single time!

### 1/5 — Steals from customers

*2026-05-12, version 20260501*

If I could give a negative 1 million review, I would. They are notorious for stealing from their customers. Check your receipt before leaving the store. They got us for over $30 for incorrect pricing. The Etowah, NC store is dirty, unstocked, and has the most ignorant employees. Stay away from this grocery chain. They are also buying up all the land so we can’t get competition from other grocery chains.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-04-19, version 20260316*

Many complaints but main one is the fact you can not save your payment method or it resets every time you go back in to the payment method it erases the data.  Please fix!  Or allow PayPal or Apple Pay!

### 1/5 — Improve your app

*2026-03-21, version 20260316*

My local Ingles gets 5 stars, but the app gets 1!

I love shopping at Ingles and truly appreciate having online ordering and pickup, it’s something my family relies on. However, the app experience is significantly behind other grocery platforms and makes ordering more difficult than it should be.

The search function lacks fuzzy search/synonym matching, so it doesn’t recognize common terms (for example, ‘muffin cups’ vs ‘baking papers’), which makes finding items frustrating and time-consuming.

In addition, the app does not retain saved address or payment information, requiring manual entry at every checkout. This adds unnecessary friction to a process that is seamless in most other grocery apps.

I would love to continue using Ingles as my primary store, but these usability issues make it challenging. Please consider prioritizing improvements to search functionality and checkout experience.

### 1/5 — New app

*2026-03-12, version 20260217*

Erased my reorders..

### 1/5 — Communication Error

*2026-03-04, version 20260217*

For weeks an error and even deleted the app and reinstalled, when logging in with email and password, the error displayed is “A communication error has occurred. Please validate fields and try again.”

Unable to create a new account. 

Pure garbage that was wasn’t unit tested nor end user tested. Likely programmed by offshore non-talent.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-02-25, version 20260217*

This app drives me insane. When you search for things it will constantly say no items available. Like typing in toothpaste to the search bar and it says there’s nothing coming up. So the store doesn’t sell toothpaste?? It’s so frustrating. I can’t pull up over half the items I need.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Ingles curbside is awesome

*2026-07-24, version 20260518*

We use Ingles curbside all the time and love all the individuals that help get our groceries together.  Marsha is my favorite and I know there will be NO problems with our order. We also feel the same way with Kiley! Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Great Customer Service!

*2026-07-20, version 20260518*

I have an injured foot and needed to make use of the Ingle’s offer to shop for you at no charge for the first time in all the years I have been going to Ingles. Spoke on the phone with a customer service representative, Alicia, who directed me to the cart symbol on my mobile app. Once I had the confidence of her help of where to start I added items to my cart and then was able to put a card on file and check out with the instruction that I would be there for Curbside at the time that they offered and I accepted. Great process! I was even able to use their scan to identify shopping list items by using my phone and scanning existing items that I’ve bought from Ingles that were on hand, but getting empty. A great experience!

### 5/5 — Wonderful online ordering

*2026-07-03, version 20260518*

I have used online ordering with two other grocery stores that I won’t name and they’re ordering applications are difficult at best. Yours is perfect for an 80 year-old woman.

### 5/5 — Very friendly staff

*2026-07-03, version 20260518*

Staff is always very friendly and prompt. I always enjoy my experience and the shoppers are wonderful with their selections.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-06-02, version 20260518*

I enjoy using Ingles Curbside service because it saves me time… but the biggest reason is the awesome folks who pick and deliver my groceries to my car! They are always so careful to read any notes I have in my list, and take care when choosing produce or meats. All of them are so pleasant and helpful, and my grocery order is almost always ready well before the selected time! Thanks Ingles!

### 5/5 — Ingles - Curbside

*2026-05-21, version 20260501*

Love Ingles and their curbside service.  They are always spot on, friendly and helpful.

### 5/5 — Best Grocery Store in Town

*2026-05-21, version 20260501*

The store on the west end of Morristown is the best! Always great items to choose from, super clean, and very friendly.

### 5/5 — Pick Up

*2026-03-25, version 20260316*

Grocery pickup is the easiest and always correct.

### 5/5 — Winder Ingles

*2026-03-21, version 20260316*

I truly love the curbside pickup. Your personal shopper sends you texts while shopping and pickup is a flawless! 💜

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-03-08, version 20260217*

There need to be easier to search for in the search bar. Need a delivery option.
