### 2/5 — Nice food, but poor reward visibility on app

*2025-12-04*

The app is reasonably straightforward to use with the order screens, but doesn’t always update. 

Also you can’t see what rewards you have - only shows the most recent, and the expiry date on them. I used to be able to save rewards, and then use them on a “broke month”, but apparently in so doing lost 4 reward meals. ☹️☹️☹️

### 2/5 — Too basic

*2025-04-12, version 5.4.12*

No menu option to view. Can’t add your points if you forget to scan your app code. Staff don’t know how to use the app either. Good food though!

### 2/5 — Nice food, but poor reward visibility on app

*2025-01-29, version 5.4.10*

### 2/5 — Have downloaded the app and…

*2024-11-20, version 5.4.7*

I am wondering What I should when I purchase something. The home page shows some promotions but no bar or qr code to refer to or stamp collection area. How are you supposed to know how much I have collected? Also I have just bought food but didn’t have the phone. Why can’t I use the QR code in the receipt to upload it as a purchase in my app account?
Please it’s time you get up to speed with functionalities of loyalty programs. 
Thank you

### 2/5 — Missing points and no tracking capability

*2024-10-23*

I earned all points and then didn’t get my free meal as my points all disappeared. There is currently no way to track your spend history and points meaning that when you’re missing points, or your rewards all disappear (which is what happened to me), you have no evidence so they don’t let you redeem in store. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Great food and loyalty scheme but the app never works!!!

*2024-08-21, version 5.4.1*

You get great deals through the loyalty scheme but it never works. It hasn’t worked for the past month despite redownloading the app multiple times.

Please fix the app!

### 1/5 — Put me off the brand!

*2024-08-17*

Not far from false advertising - POS promised a free miso soup as reward but it’s not redeemable through multiple attempts. Speaking to staff, every time they said nothing they can do about it.

I’ve been shopping itsu branded products via supermarkets for years. These deceptive app rewards put me off the brand. PERIOD. Will buy dumplings at Costco instead going forward.

### 1/5 — Free miso when you download app didn’t work

*2024-07-31, version 5.4.1*

Button to claim miso appeared clicked on it nothing happened. Tried again and said voucher used or something. Waste of time deleting app

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2024-07-31, version 5.4.1*

Won’t let me sign in on Apple sign in. 
It’s recommended solution makes no sense.

### 1/5 — Wiped loyalty points

*2024-07-25, version 5.4.0*

As others have noted it’s a min spend (£5) for a star…. But why not 2 for £10 etc… 
Also it’s glitchy- I just got to 7 and it wiped the free meal I’d been saving for which just serves to annoy…

### 1/5 — You only get reward points over £5

*2024-07-16, version 5.4.0*

Their most popular rice bowl is cleverly £4.99 yet you only collect points at £5. Made me give them my data for no reason. Very deceiving and sneaky

### 1/5 — Click and collect

*2024-05-20, version 5.3.10*

Updated app has removed the click and collect function but the app still takes card details?

### 3/5 — My under a fiver spend doesn’t count!

*2024-04-22*

I love the Itsu concept: clean, healthy food which is inexpensive and the service is brilliant. BUT for my lunch of chicken or veg paradiso, my spend of £4.49 or £4.99 is just short of the £5 spend needed to get a “butterfly” 😕

### 1/5 — White screen when paying

*2024-03-26, version 5.3.3*

Every time I come to pay and scan the code … white screen! 
No code to scan no points! 

Can you please either have a default code preloaded or have the facility to scan the receipts.

### 3/5 — discounts don’t work

*2024-02-29*

the loyalty program is great, i’ve never had a problem with it. but for some reason my student discount keeps getting wiped from my account, like it literally won’t show up as existing. i used it once and then i tried again and in store they said my account didn’t have the student discount attached. please fix this!!!

### 1/5 — No points for noodle pots

*2024-02-22, version 5.3.3*

The packaging of the pots you buy in stores mislead me to download the app, thinking they had a reward scheme for those (I don’t live close enough to a itsu store or visit enough to be able to build up points that way.)
So now deleting the app

### 1/5 — Am I missing something?

*2024-02-08, version 5.3.3*

App is not allowing me to do anything other than view rewards and see my details. I am sure there is a problem here.

### 1/5 — Who designed this !!!

*2026-01-17, version 5.4.18*

I can’t even sing up as the keyboard box is blocking the bottom of the screen. Who has designed and tested this app?! awful customer experience.

### 1/5 — Farce!

*2025-08-23, version 5.4.15*

Eat in Itsu once a week. Read about saving stamps. Downloaded App.  Cannot register.  No keyboard to type in confirmation code and no other options.  Should be zero stars.

### 1/5 — Only one gift per day!

*2025-08-20, version 5.4.15*

So I got the free drink reward on the app on the 5th butterfly but I decided to wait for the 7th as well so I could get the free meal with the free drink. I could see in the app that I had “2 gifts available”. Went to store, scanned the code and it gave me the option to claim the free drink. Got it without a problem but then it didn’t recognise the free meal gift…the app changed to “1 gift available” but it wouldn’t let me claim it. Asked the store employees about it but they couldn’t understand the issue and accused me of trying to run a scam because in their mind I had already claimed my free gift and the app just hadn’t caught up. I’m never returning to Itsu again.

### 1/5 — Unable to add student discount

*2025-05-05, version 5.4.12*

Unable to add student email despite receiving a confirmation code. It automatically logs out, and the student email does not appear. Staff at the shop were not helpful.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-02-21, version 5.4.10*

I don’t usually write reviews but the itsu app is one of the worst F&B apps I’ve used. It isn’t intuitive at all. Why can’t you see recent purchases, and why can’t you just scan the barcode to both pay and redeem awards?

### 1/5 — Just terrible

*2025-01-09, version 5.4.9*

Classic case of how not to build an app

### 1/5 — ITraxx

*2025-01-07, version 5.4.7*

Useless app, cannot see a menu or order anything from it.
What has happened? Used to be much better!

### 1/5 — Why can’t I do basic things in this app?!

*2024-11-19, version 5.4.7*

I can’t find how to scan the app and earn the stamps. I tried to use an offer in store and it didn’t go through, but I still lost the offer on the app. Useless.

### 1/5 — Waste of time.

*2024-11-16, version 5.4.1*

Just another marketing ploy. Arm twister. Forget it. Complicated. Like, how many itsu tills are in your local shopping area? Deleting now. 👋🏻

### 1/5 — Not intuitive

*2024-09-24, version 5.4.1*

It’s not remotely intuitive how to ‘scan the app’ as we are constantly told. An app is on a phone screen… presumably it needs an easy to access qr or barcode to scan? Where is this?
