### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-25, version 26.7.2*

I can’t create an account. I have to enter a code to confirm. It says code sent to phone number. I receive no code.

### 1/5 — Can’t make an account

*2026-07-08, version 26.7.1*

I decided to try the app and it won’t let me make an account, it just says error. So I signed in with google and that worked. Then It says I need to sign up for rewards and I try and it says I didn’t fill in something when I definitely filled it all in.

### 1/5 — Vibecoded Garbage

*2026-06-06, version 26.5.2*

Asks for location permission even while not using the app. Error messages (you will see them a lot) are not informative. Register button greyed out for no reason. Google sign-in project is just an unnamed project. Absolutely horrible to use. Buggy garbage. Our data is not secure.

### 1/5 — Will Not Update

*2026-06-02, version 26.5.2*

Had to leave the store without my purchase because the app would not update and I couldn’t use the old version

### 2/5 — Why???

*2026-05-16, version 26.5.1*

You have no idea how much I hate developers who when releasing an update to an app on the very first update round  they disable the old version. When you do an update, give a warning before making the prior version impossible to use so I don’t stand in line at the store having to update the damn app. Morons.

### 1/5 — No verification

*2026-05-07, version 26.5.1*

Tried multiple times to set this up. It originally wanted my chosen store to be in the States. I live in Canada. Then once I finally got Canadian info, it didn’t allow me to verify my account. Code was sent several times, but never appeared in my texts or emails. Very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Outdated Reviews On Here

*2026-04-26, version 26.4.2*

A lot of these reviews are very old. I’m using the app and it’s working fine. Just download the app yourself and see if it’s working. An overall 1.9 stars for this app is wild, I’m giving it 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Limited

*2026-04-10, version 26.4.1*

Unless you purchase an item online, you cannot review it

### 5/5 — Useful

*2026-03-05, version 26.2.2*

I’m not sure why this app has so many bad reviews. You can use it to scan the barcode of items to find the price, see sales, have access to weekly coupons and can order from the app and pickup in store. It has a full catalogue of their products too.

### 1/5 — Having issues

*2026-02-21, version 26.2.1*

Can someone let me know why I no longer can get pictures of the items that are listed? I have to open up each item if I want to see what it looks like. Is anyone else having this issue? It just started doing that. Is it because of the latest update?
