### 1/5 — Yuck!!!

*2025-10-23*

Absolutely despise the new app!! Why can’t I even see a print sale ad?!?

### 1/5 — Just mail me the ad

*2025-09-03*

Can’t make a list. The coupons are a mess and I can’t search for items without the SKU. I’d like to search through the entire inventory not just the items on sale.

### 2/5 — Love the store even if they are a little overpriced hate the app

*2025-07-11*

Parts of the app don’t work and never worked since I downloaded it. The list section has never worked you can’t make a grocery list you can’t add things to a grocery list cause you can’t make one and frankly if there was a cheaper store closer to me I would use that one instead

### 1/5 — …wow

*2025-03-17*

Very obvious it hasn’t been updated for years!!! Nothing works… such a disappointment.

### 1/5 — App needs serious work

*2024-12-24*

Tapping on several options gets you a continuous spinning circle. Can’t create a shopping list name, therefore can’t create a shopping list. Want to check out rewards or coupons? Bzzt, nice try but nope, none of that for you. IF you DO get to see something has a coupon (I’ve seen it once), go ahead a tap on that. You’ll get to watch the little spinning circle and force close the app. AGAIN!! Hey, I can see the recipe they want me to look at! And if I hold my breath, I might be graced with an ad.

### 1/5 — Written by old people, for no one

*2024-03-23*

This is so bad. It looks like a first generation web app written in the 1990’s. Those were bad enough in prehistoric days. But in the modern age where simplicity reigns, this app is useless. I would pay not to have to use this app. 

Lin’s needs to pay for some top-rate app developers to create a proper app, not try and cheap out by hiring the family members of the executives to try and save some money. Spend the money up front to do it right the first time, and it saves more in the long run.

### 1/5 — Extremely unhelpful

*2023-08-27*

Can’t find a way to look up anything at all just to check local availability and price

### 1/5 — Account

*2022-07-08*

It says I already have an account with my email but when I request a password reset it says I don’t have an account with my email

### 1/5 — Why make an app if it doesn’t work

*2021-11-22*

I like shopping local but if you can’t make a basic app function then I will choose a store that can. I wanted to use the grocery list feature and it crashes every time I select it.

### 1/5 — Wow!  Not Good for Lin’s

*2021-02-10*

This app is a very poor excuse for getting the perks you deserve. It would be wonderful if it did what is supposed to do. It was painful to get the app to download, even with Helpdesk assistance.  It is cumbersome to navigate to get what you need and is not worth the time after dealing with broken links, screen freezes and reloads

If I want digital coupons, I will ask for assistance at the store

Sorry this app will not work for me
