### 4/5 — One suggestion

*2026-07-24, version 96.2.0*

Put a freakin CLIP ALL button on the coupons

### 2/5 — Checkout doesn’t work since update

*2025-09-19, version 86.1.0*

I love this app but since the update, I can’t view my cart or checkout. Bug needs to be fixed.

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-09-04, version 73.2*

I’ve had the app for a couple years and while it works for clipping coupons it’s not much good for anything else. Technical support is slow and unhelpful. It won’t let me choose my store and when I contacted support they blamed it on my store and not the app itself. For months now I can not achieve store pickup.

### 2/5 — Jay C

*2023-09-10, version 62.0*

All these smart apps an crap but you can’t even find the store hours … it gets aggravating when you have a specific app for a store and it doesn’t give you something so basic as operational hours.
        
Just want to put this out here these reviews are for the apps, not the stores themselves. None of your city stores popularity, or what they carry is going to help me figuring out if I want to app.

### 1/5 — Boss

*2023-03-19, version 56.1*

Why does this tell me I need to update but won’t let me? This digital stuff is a bunch of crap especially for people who don’t have cell phones

### 1/5 — Glitchy App

*2023-02-05, version 54.4*

We always have to screen shot our coupons and show the cashier because the clipped ones do not show up for us.  We have been to the help desk several times and they cannot figure it out.

### 1/5 — Like the store, hate the app

*2022-04-24, version 45.2*

Literally the worst shopping app ever! Can’t load digital coupons until the day the sale starts. Can’t organize a shopping list. Can’t search for a product and load a coupon from the results. Can’t take a QR code and load the coupon. The app has almost left me crying in the store. The deals are great but not worth the stress.

### 2/5 — Used to work well

*2022-03-25, version 44.3*

App used to work flawlessly. However, now every time I want to clip a coupon, I get a popup box saying "Do you want to enable notifications about expiring coupons?" There are two words below: Maybe Later, that I assume is supposed to be a button. But it is not functioning. So I have to close the app, reopen it, go to the next coupon, add coupon, get the popup box, and close app again. 

Hopefully someone can get the program code fixed for the broken button.

### 4/5 — Lost; has to start again

*2021-12-04, version 40.2*

Halfway through making my selections, sure shut down and I had to start over.

### 1/5 — App

*2021-08-09, version 37.0.1*

The app is only for 13.0 phones. It won’t let you upgrade to your phone’s capacity. This really stinks. No coupons. No points. Hey, Kroger you gonna send me a grocery stipend, since your new improved app doesn’t work with my phone?

### 1/5 — NOT WORKING

*2026-06-28, version 95.3.0*

It’s obvious that No-one tested prior to releasing. Used to work very simply everything went into your cart now it creates list that will transfer to the cart. It is so messed up. I love our Jayc and all the folks who work there and this is a poor representation of how hard they try to provide great customer service. If I have to go back to a scratch paper, I’m gonna drive 1 mile down the street and do my shopping at Walmart.

### 1/5 — This app is useless

*2026-06-19, version 95.2.0*

My app stopped working a couple of months ago. Talked to customer service and followed their instructions but nothing changed. He eventually said all he could do is report my problem. So disappointed not to be able to do pickup because my husband and I both have problems walking now and it’s almost too much for either of us to go into the store.

### 1/5 — App is still not working!!

*2026-05-25, version 94.2.0*

Following up on the last review I left on May 15th.  Recap- My app stopped working on May 7th. Did an update that day after having loading issues and it did not fix the problem but made it even worse. Did all of the suggested things to “fix” the errors with no success. 
Fast forward to today May 25th -Nothing has been fixed and there are a lot of people complaining with the same issues. This app is useless. I still cannot access it because of authentication issues with try again later prompts. There was another update last week that did absolutely nothing to fix the problems I listed in my last review. There’s no way this app has that high of a rating.  Kroger is a partner with Jay c food store and their app is doing the exact same thing with many complaints in the reviews listing the same problems. Can’t authenticate, grayed out boxes, cannot access account info, login in error please try again later, and so much more. Please listen to the people and fix the issues. It doesn’t deserve the 1 star I had to give just to be able to write this.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-05-07, version 93.2.0*

May 7, 2026: when I try to sign in via the website my phone tells me your website has been hacked and my financial and personal information may be compromised…
Latest update has the whole app just blank, contacted customer support which suggested I sign out and sign back in or uninstall then reinstall… signed out and it gave me an error pop up when I tried to sign back in. Uninstalled and it won’t let me sign back in I’ve had the app for a couple years and while it works for clipping coupons it’s not much good for anything else. Technical support is slow and unhelpful. It won’t let me choose my store and when I contacted support they blamed it on my store and not the app itself. For months now I can not achieve store pickup.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-05-25, version 82.2.0*

Never works

### 1/5 — Never works

*2024-11-11, version 76.0*

This app is terrible! Always has trouble connecting and finding the store I need. The little wheel just circles and circles. The few times that it has worked, the app is complicated to navigate. I definitely prefer Kroger’s quality, but they need to get with Walmart’s app group! The Walmart app is SOOOOO much easier to use!

### 1/5 — Nope

*2024-03-22, version 68.2*

Blatant price gouging compared to other stores in the area. $10 for a stick of deodorant is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — FIX YOUR APP

*2024-03-19, version 68.1*

Every time you log to perceptions, you have to authenticate your log in EVERY time, and it only send  your email a authentication code once in every 20 tries

### 1/5 — I phone app

*2023-07-23, version 57.3*

App never works more than once at a time, have to delete and go back

App never works in store

App doesn’t update correctly. 

App not user friendly

### 1/5 — Getting on app

*2023-07-19*

I don’t grocery every other day or every week, and every time I go to sign on to the app there is a new version or the app in not supported or it only does it for Kroger when I want J . The app is not user friendly , don’t go to store and expect it to work. It never has for me . Plus it isn’t user friendly. Sorry I like to shop there but because of the poor quality of the app I am growing more towards Walmart . Easier app and easy shopping.

### 5/5 — Update app

*2024-02-28, version 67.3*

I basically like the app., But I get sick and tired of having to update it every time I use it. Can’t you people get it right for a while.

### 5/5 — Rob

*2023-08-26, version 61.3.1*

Absolutely love this store and workers! Needs to be bigger!

### 5/5 — Pickup order

*2023-04-10, version 57.0*

I love that you can edit items in the deli such as thickness etc.  That is a big selling point to me.

### 5/5 — Easy shopping

*2022-11-19, version 52.2.1*

This is my first time doing online.
I took took the plunge. Thanks for making it easy.

### 5/5 — 85 year old

*2022-11-17, version 52.2.1*

Girl Guard

### 5/5 — JayC Sellersburg 👌🏻

*2022-03-28, version 44.3*

Always on time and the freshest vegetables, fruits  and meat items are shopped for me. Appreciate this service with my busy work schedule and the Sellersburg  JayC team is always awesome.  Team members always courteous and prompt upon arrival and with delivery. Wish I could tip them. They always kindly say, no thank you, just glad to help.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-01-19, version 42.2*

Love this app! Easy to use and if you aren’t sure where an item is in the store the app will tell you which isle to look in.

### 5/5 — A great store to shop at

*2022-01-11, version 42.0*

There are always friendly employees eager to help you. They check you out fast. And keep their stick up.

### 5/5 — Tam

*2021-10-07, version 39.0*

Love them

### 5/5 — Jay C app

*2021-04-19, version 33.1*

Great app, could be better with options for coupons. Like when clicking on the coupons, it will give the options of the products and you can pick which one you want. Something like Wal-greens app.
