It was very easy to search for the menu items within the dine-in menu and quickly check them out as well. Checkout and payment as well was very quick and far less effort needed. No need for wait for waiter to show up to place the order and need to wait for final check and payment. ### 5/5 — Cool App to skip the huge wait lines *2019-06-01, version 1.0.76* 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — This app is great! *2018-12-04, version 1.0.65* It takes the frustration of being an ignored customer away. You get to write your special requests instead of them trying to understand. Also a great way to pre-order and it gives you a countdown until your food is ready! ### 5/5 — Handy *2018-12-04, version 1.0.65* I like how we can order beforehand and everything is set when we step into the restaurant. Its a one stop shop for ordering online at any restaurant. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2018-12-03, version 1.0.65* This app is amazing!! I used it for Bow Tie Baristas and it was so handy! Love this! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-12-03, version 1.0.65* Super convenient and great ways to save money, I would highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2018-10-25, version 1.0.60* I love this app, especially the ability to place a take out order , pay for it online and pick it up. This saves me 10 minutes of searching for parking. I also love the daily offers . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No drivers available *2026-04-27, version 2.0.4* The restaurant told me they had no delivery drivers available and to come get my food myself. So I had to leave my house to get the dinner after I paid for delivery. An hour an a half later an uber driver showed up at my house with cold food yelling about how she had to pick up the food. I do not understand Joyous app and why they would send me a text saying to pick up my food and then when I call the restaurant they confirm they have no delivery drivers available and and then an hour and a half later an uber driver shows up??? This is awful delivery app, don’t use it. ### 1/5 — “Token has expired” error when trying to Sign in with Apple *2025-12-15, version 1.1.60* This isn’t really a review, because I can’t get the app to work. It’s a bug report, as I can’t find any other way to submit one. When I try to create a passcode account on either iOS or iPadOS 26.2, I get the above error. I assume I could create a password account, but that’s not what I want to do. ### 1/5 — Nothing in range for delivery *2025-08-04, version 1.1.58* Every restaurant says out of range for delivery even ones only 7 miles away. Every other delivery app does like 15-20. ### 1/5 — Card info stole *2024-08-26, version 1.1.53* After using this app my card info was stolen. I had a bad feeling when using it so I used my Cash card which allows me to limit the money on the account as well as lock the card. I keep getting notifications of failed purchases. I’m unsure if it’s this app or the company I purchased food from but either way there is a security flaw. ### 1/5 — Poor service *2024-03-28, version 1.1.48* The discount I get from the app did not reflect on the price when I check out. I emailed the customer service and never heard back. Disappointed! ### 1/5 — BEWARE of fraud! *2023-03-03, version 1.1.43* We had a good first experience and decided to try again. I received a notification that my order had been delivered (It hadn’t). Almost immediately I received a separate text asking me to contact DoorDash for delivery (Do they contract with DoorDash?). Then I received a text from the restaurant recommending that I come in to pick up my food. I was never contacted again by anyone from Joyous, and they kept the delivery driver tip. I’ve tried to contact them through app and social media and have received no response. I was excited to try a local business, and I’m disappointed that they stole my money and have completely ignored my requests for assistance. ### 1/5 — Not that great *2019-08-24, version 1.0.80* Must enable location services to use this app. It will search an area but won’t let you see the restaurant menu let alone order without your privacy settings left opened. ### 3/5 — Asks for enabling notifications at every step of every order *2021-04-09, version 1.1.22* Please don’t keep asking for enabling notifications at every step of every order. At least give an option like ‘don’t remind again’. I chose to disable notifications consciously. It is not pleasant to ignore that pop up at every step of an order. Good luck! ### 4/5 — Great idea *2023-06-23, version 1.1.45* So disappointed because my order did not meet the minimum for delivery. I’m by myself and I don’t need $35 with of food. I don’t have a car anymore so I can’t pick up. But it’s a great idea to have a local restaurant delivery service for people who are ordering for a group so no reason not to use Joyous if you’re in that situation. ### 5/5 — Fair Prices and Personalized Discounts *2024-03-15, version 1.1.48* Joyous sets itself apart from competitors like DoorDash by offering restaurant prices, a user-friendly interface, personalized discounts tailored to individual preferences, and delivering daily deals. With these standout features, Joyous deserves more recognition as a top choice for all users. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for local favorites *2023-09-07, version 1.1.46* Easy to use. Great for reordering from your favorite restaurants. ### 5/5 — Seasoned user giving a thumbs up!! *2023-05-11, version 1.1.44* Very convenient and also receive lot of great promotions. The prices are not marked up in-line other apps and they are exactly how you would find on the restaurant menu. The app also keeps getting regular updates with new and cool features added. Been a great experience for me. From someone like me who has been using this app for the longest time, this review might be coming a bit too late but nevertheless hoping it helps the credibility! ### 5/5 — Local, Indy restaurants, not chains *2023-05-10, version 1.1.44* I like that they don’t work with the big chain restaurants, only local restaurants that are part of the community. The discounts are also pretty dang nice! ### 5/5 — Daily spin *2023-03-16, version 1.1.43* I loved the daily spin concept. Getting good discounts every day. Very much better prices compared to Uber eats. ### 5/5 — Smooth experience *2022-07-31, version 1.1.38* Used this app for the first time today and it was easy to download, sign in with my Apple credentials and start my order. The menu was easy to navigate and pickup was smooth. Very happy to get a discount and love the lack of inflated prices and additional fees. Only wish more of my fav restaurants were available. ### 5/5 — A hidden gem amongst food delivery apps *2022-06-18, version 1.1.37* Absolutely amazing app. The fees are by far the most reasonable. And I went to a restaurant in person AND THE PRICES WERE THE SAME. So no double dipping. The fees are very reasonable in comparison with others on the market. The selection isn’t the greatest but it has plenty of Indian and sushi. With time hopefully they can expand but if I want Indian or sushi delivered it’s not even close. I choose Jouyous ### 5/5 — Joy was ours *2021-11-06, version 1.1.31* We are very happy to share our experience here for joyous app and their services. It is the best food delivery app I ever know . Ever since I returned back from India , I was in a homesick mode and never felt like cooking , going to a restaurant or anything else . I am a mom of two . That day When we ordered from joyous app , we almost thought we are too late to order one . But the delivery guy showed up in no time with yummy , tasty , freshly made food in his hand . That was a pure JOY . ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2021-04-09, version 1.1.22* I love this app. Every thing is very easy to understand and discounts are bonanza !! ### 5/5 — Delivery & takeout from the best local restaurants. *2020-09-28, version 1.1.11* I’m using this app for more than year. One of the best app I have ever used. They are providing delivery & takeout from the best local restaurants in Portland. They provide best customer support. This app is amazing and I often get discounts through this app from most of the restaurants. Now they are providing lunch box and waiting to use it. I LOVE THIS APP..... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
