User reviews

Needs updated

The app needs to be updated and won’t work but says it needs to be upgraded

Scanner Doesn’t work

Scanner doesn’t scan any item, must enter every barcode! On top of that some items on the app when you type the barcode in says yes WIC approved then you get to the register and you end up paying full price…

Response from developer

Thank you for taking time to review the app. We are aware of issues with scanning. This will be fixed in an upcoming release of the app.

Horrible

Can’t even scan all UPC codes. Approved for Enfamil baby formula but when scanned says it’s not. Organic fruits scanned not qualify. App is just the worst thing I’ve ever downloaded. Don’t scan and when entered denies everything.

Ease of use is terrible!

The app lacks a lot in ease of use and functionality. Sometimes works and other times you can’t use certain buttons or it will not load correctly.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking time to review the app. A phone's cellular data connectivity can sometimes impact buttons showing up or data loading correctly while inside of a store. We are working on updates to the app to help with ease of use that will be released in the next 6 months or so.

Feb 29! Not working

Leap year , leap day today. Last day for WIC groceries today and the app is not working at all!!

Response from developer

Thank you for taking time to review the app. Unfortunately there was an outage that affected the app during the afternoon on 2/29/2024. This was resolved the same day please let us know if you continue to have issues with the app working.
