This app traps the school into being the only option for school lunch payment and then requires fees for submitting payments with no options to avoid fees. Horrible business. We will be sending lunchbox from now on. ### 2/5 — Persistent Login Please *2026-08-14, version 390.6.4* Re-authenticating every day defeats the purpose of having an app. At least allow password managers so we don’t have to manually enter our login every time. Just use the website. ### 4/5 — Could be great *2026-08-05, version 390.6.4* If this year it stopped asking me to authorize the app to link my account every single time I open it. I’ve been using this app for years. It also forces me to request a log in link to my email which is a dead end because once I “accept” that I can close out and get into my account. ### 2/5 — Fix bugs *2026-07-07, version 390.5.463* Keeps crashing. App doesn’t open. ### 3/5 — When it works… *2026-03-28, version 390.5.424* When it works, it’s great. I have seen a huge improvement since it was first introduced at our school. However, randomly the menu was just gone. 0% a fan of that. ### 2/5 — Frequent Sign Ins *2026-03-27, version 390.5.424* Why do I have go frequently sign in? I am often trying to check my kids’ lunch menus and it feels like I’m having to sign in often even to this small thing. It’s honestly, very annoying! ### 2/5 — Autopay *2026-01-29, version 390.5.373* I don’t know how many times I’ve setup autopay and thought it was there. NEVER works, ever. ### 3/5 — Poor app *2026-01-06, version 390.5.345* Crashes often or won’t load ### 2/5 — What this app needs *2025-11-20, version 390.5.298* This app needs the dollar amount next the each “menu item.” This app also needs to enable parents to limit purchase amount or items per day. ### 2/5 — Fees for days *2025-11-14, version 390.5.262* It’s nice to add funds immediately if you forget but the fees are excessive and the more money you add the higher the fees (a set rate.) Not a fan ### 2/5 — Fee *2025-11-12, version 390.5.262* Highly fee for adding funds ### 1/5 — Excessive Fees *2025-11-06, version 390.5.262* I have to pay in order to pay … ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Fees on transactions? *2025-11-06, version 390.5.262* Frustrated at the fees charged to add money to accounts. They also won’t allow transfer between accounts if you haven’t made an online payment in the school year (ie sent a check for funds or funds from prior year). Seems like they are just trying to make fees off of a school program. ### 2/5 — Auto reload did not work *2025-11-06, version 390.5.262* My daughter could not buy lunch because the auto reload did not work when balance was below $10. Not satisfactory ### 1/5 — The service fees are insane *2025-11-05, version 390.5.262* It’s crazy to me that I have to pay $10+ to add funds to my kid’s lunch account. ### 2/5 — Linq *2025-11-05, version 390.5.262* Paying fees to add funds to your child’s lunch account is ridiculous!! ### 1/5 — Convenience fee is excessive. *2025-11-05, version 390.5.262* Should be 1% or less. Banks transfer for free and being the middle man skimming around 4% is bad business. Especially if they invest the holdings at all and make money on the savings interest. Great concept and simplifies lunch payment, but too many companies aren’t consumer conscious. ### 2/5 — Food App *2025-11-05, version 390.5.262* System requires me to login everyday… like why it an app for menus not a bank account. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Web and app don’t work *2026-08-29, version 390.6.19* Honestly the worst app and website I’ve had to deal with. ### 1/5 — Required App *2026-08-11, version 390.6.4* In the past I would go to the website on the my phone and put money into my kids account and pay LINQ their cut/fee. But now they do not allow me to continue on the website on mobile forcing me on the app or having to open the desktop version. ### 1/5 — High fee *2026-04-10, version 390.5.424* Charged almost $3.00 to put $5.00 on my daughter account! So I will not be using anymore. I’ll just send her in with cash ### 1/5 — Manual data entry!? *2026-03-27, version 390.5.424* Get ready to type! ### 1/5 — Garbage app doesn’t send the verification link *2026-03-14, version 390.5.424* Garbage app doesn’t send the verification link. Tried different emails never received the verification email. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-03-13, version 390.5.394* It won’t let you add district so basically it won’t give you any information because no student and district have been added ### 1/5 — Garbage! *2026-02-04, version 390.5.373* This app is garbage always glitchy and never works. What a waste of phone space! ### 1/5 — App does not work *2026-01-17, version 390.5.345* Not sure what the issue is, but skip downloading the app. Will just pay in person at the school ### 1/5 — Login is broken *2026-01-06, version 390.5.345* Trying to login to show my kid what’s for school lunch but when logging in it says “Luna connect wants to use lynq.com to Sign in. And then it returns me to the logon screen with no errors . Please fix. I verified that I’m using the correct username password. ### 1/5 — New update is worse *2025-11-26, version 390.5.298* Please fix the app, I go to try to sign in but it just blanks out. This is worse; at least before it was just a little slow. Now, it doesn’t even load or let you login. It’s become useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great electronic meal funds app *2025-11-14, version 390.5.262* This app is a great way to add funds to your kiddos meal account without having to send cash or write a check. It’s very user friendly and their customer service works quickly to resolve issues! I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-11-07, version 390.5.262* I love this app. It is easy to use and add money immediately. The reminder feature is helpful. Highly recommend:) ### 5/5 — Worked well *2025-10-29, version 390.5.262* It took less than a minute to replenish my son’s lunch account. I love it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-10-19, version 390.5.262* Really helps me keep up with the kids lunch balances! ### 5/5 — Fast way to pay for lunch *2025-10-19, version 390.5.262* Thanks to Linq I’m able to see what my child is going to eat at school. I like I can add funds to her lunch account on the app. I also like to see what the purchases are. ### 5/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-20* Every time I try to open this app it automatically shuts down. Think you have more bugs to fix on it. ### 5/5 — From bad to great *2025-06-19* Remember that couple of years ago, this platform was very bad, but now with the app and the platform as a whole is a great tool. ### 5/5 — Great and easy app *2025-04-11, version 3.5.73* Such a simply app to use! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-04-09, version 3.5.73* Works for me and my daughter, sends reminder when the balance is low. Funds transferred immediately no delay. ### 5/5 — A must have app *2025-04-08* If you have a child in a school that utilizes this app, DOWN LOAD NOW❣️ It lets you know what your Child’s spending habits are as well as eating habits, while away from home and it lets you know in real time! The app is easy to use and simple understand, it lets you pay, set spending limits and notifies you when the balance falls below a certain amount. I have a 13 year old granddaughter who doesn't volunteer any information, this way I know without asking! **Developer response:** We're delighted to hear about your experience and appreciate the feedback. We hope your granddaughter has a great rest of the school year! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
