Excessive spam texts
Don’t bother with the app unless you want to be constantly pinged with ads all day in exchange for like $1 off twice per year. It’s impossible to set preferences for how frequently you want to be spammed.
Rewards are rigged
Jeni’s ice cream is good, but the rewards program is not random. Setting aside the fact that calling it winning a “mystery pint” is deceptive, spinning the rewards wheel is rigged. My current record from the Wordle game is nine wins of the waffe cone puzzle piece in a row. I had another run of seven. I am currently up to eight, so who knows how much further it will go? The chances against this happening are astronomical. They are either playing with the odds or outright forcing the outcome at their whim.
——————————————
In addition to unfairly pushing waffle cone puzzle pieces as the reward, the target words in the Wordle puzzle are becoming more obscure. For example, the winning word last night was “BLEEP”.
——————————————
Tonight’s word was “DROIT”, showing how they pick odd words to reduce the number of winners. Guessing that earned me a waffle cone puzzle piece, which makes ten times in a row. Unless you like waffle cones a lot, don’t bother with the puzzle.

Rewards system doesn’t make sense
Like other reviewers said, you can buy buckets of Jeni’s ice cream (it’s truly the best), faithfully checking in every time and you end up with like, a waffle cone. You don’t really actually get rewards. It’s really a bummer. The wordle game is fun though!

Rewards and credit make no sense
The status and awards are difficult to understand. There appears to be status and levels, I don't even know how to use them and I go to Jeni's frequently and I can't use the rewards. There also appears to be a credit system and a point system. I have a lot of activity but it doesn't appear to go towards anything.

Deceptive Reward Program
I love Jeni’s ice cream, but their app is a waste of time. There’s infinite deferral and misleading games that tell you it’s to win a mystery pint, then when you win the game, you once again get to spin for a puzzle piece that goes toward a reward. And of course you’re never winning puzzle pieces toward the same
Reward so maybe after 16 trips I’ll finally win a waffle cone. Big deal. Reward your loyal customers and stop being so greedy. Almost 7 dollars now for 2 half scoops? And you don’t have the option to add scoops to the largest order anymore. I guess if you want to make it impossible for young families to afford to come, go ahead and enjoy your profits.

Always freezes (pun intended)
Everytime I play the Wordle game, it freezes on me and I lose the chance to gain a puzzle piece for prizes. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Please don’t put a game in there for devoted fans to play if it’s not going to work right! Super frustrating. I’ve written in to their support team with screen recordings of the bug for months, and it’s still not fixed.

Love Jeni’s Hate the App
I’ve used the app in the past but somewhere along the line it deleted my card info and won’t let me add a new card. It just has a box to type in the cards expiration date and the zip code but I can’t enter the card number nor the CVV because it won’t display a text box. I’ve tried logging out and back in, updating, deleting. Nothing works.

The Worst App on My Phone
I can’t even access the app at this point. It doesn’t matter how many “updates” or “bug fixes” it quite literally doesn’t let me use it. I get an error message every single time I try to enter my phone number to log in. There’s no way for me to access my Jeni’s rewards. PLEASE FIX
Scam
This app tricks you into buying more to win a reward called “mystery pint” which you would obviously think was a pint of ice cream. But then tells you that you need to buy something to receive the mystery pint. But then you buy something and realize that “mystery pint” appears to be a game you get to play to win a chance at reward, which is actually on 1/4 of any reward you could possibly win and you need this whole thing 3 more times to get anything. Scam.

Freezes when opening reward
The app has frozen multiple times when I open the reward after playing the daily puzzle. I try to wait for it to load, and after a while I force quit the app. Then when I open it again, the reward is gone and it hasn’t been applied to any of the puzzle pieces. Please fix this bug. Thank you
Glitches!
It’s always glitching and doesn’t load my rewards info, if it even lets me login. That’s the main issue I have, I get an error message every time I enter my phone number to login.
New Point System is Unfair for Celiacs/Allergies
I keep getting a “free waffle cone/puzzle pieces for a cone” which is completely useless for people with allergies. You guys do such a good job of accommodating flavor wise but now I have multiple purchases I scan the app for that are basically worth nothing. Bring back the old point system or let celiacs/allergies opt out of those prizes.

Major bug
There’s a major bug with this app — whenever I try to open a reward, the app freezes right as the brown pint graphic starts to get bigger. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app to no avail.
Also. Before this, 9/10 times I would win a buttercrisp cone piece. (The worst reward imo) The app was getting significantly less fun to play because of this.
Please Jeni’s team, once you resolve this bug, consider upping the likelihood of winning free icecream or BOGOs! It makes it a lot more fun. Thank you!

Games and rewards are terrible! 😡😡😡
Super disappointed at the games and reward structure. It’s such a let down each time you use the app. This is my first negative experience with Jeni’s. Please improve this. The puzzle piece rewards are pretty infuriating, just give us a straightforward reward system, God knows we pay enough for the ice cream 😡😡😡

Cannot login
App does not recognize prior accounts so when I enter account info it says user info also taken. App needs a distinct login button for users and separate one for new never registered users. Cannot use app due to this.
Nigh unusable
Since the last major overhaul, this app has proven to be impossible to use to order for local delivery, often forcing me to use Uber Eats (which also means I never get any points for my purchases).
I LOVE Jeni’s but this app doesn’t at all reflect the quality of their product, and makes it even more difficult to obtain their product.

Doesn’t Work
I love Jeni’s so much, but with the new rewards update the app no longer works for me. It takes multiple minutes to load a single page, and never is able to load once I try to log in. Really bummed as I have been a rewards member since they began.
Spin the Wheel for Puzzle Piece Seems Rigged?
The app features a fun word puzzle game that lets you earn a chance to spin a prize wheel. The wheel includes puzzle pieces for rewards like a free waffle cone or bowl, free pint, free two scoops, or a free upgrade. In the past, I’ve won a free pint and ice cream scoops, but lately, I’ve only been receiving waffle cone pieces over and over.
Since I have a gluten allergy and can’t use the cone rewards, I usually end up paying for someone else’s cone when I’m there. I really wish there were more chances to win other types of puzzle pieces. I’ve been playing for two weeks and just need one more piece for a free pint or scoop—but haven’t been able to get it. At this point, it’s starting to feel a bit rigged.
