Doesn’t work

Couldn’t get past the sign-up page there’s a bug keeping you stuck

Booking bug

While I’m trying to book a visit the same day, the application freezes and it doesn’t let me to login. Since there is no reimbursement for the travel, I have to leave the location without visiting.

recently added

please bring back the recently added sections for the whole country, it made identifying drops more easier and hotels that were out of radius

Best app for mystery visits!!

This is by far the best app I have used for mystery shopping!! The location and map features make it so easy to locate visits near me and the discounts I get from my fav places is great! Totally recommend HGEM ignore the negatives they clearly don’t know how to use the app!!!

Fantastic App & Product

Really great app, super easy to use and understand.

What an improvement

Started using this new version when it was first release and was unsure about it and there was a few niggles but not sure what they have changed but WOW it is fantastic. Easy to find visits, the map feature is a game changer, easy to see visit details and then book. Doing the report is so simple and it just works.

Changes are a backward step

Looks totally different to previous version, but so much now missing that was available before. Can’t see any positive improvements in this version.

🫩 what a shame

So I can now see just nearby visits. Without the recently added filter I can’t book hotels as I don’t want to stay in a hotel in my own town and I’m not able to spend hours looking at the whole country
I used to book a hotel and a view visits nearby but won’t be doing this anymore without a recently added feature
There must be a reason you’ve moved away from this but it makes the whole package much less interesting. I find I now look once a week rather than three or four times a day
What a shame

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share this. Since the app launch, we have released several updates based on diner feedback, and we have reinstated the 'Recently Added' filter within the 'Discover' section on both the app and desktop. Please ensure you are using the latest version of the app to access these improvements. If you need any help, our Support team would be happy to assist at support@mysterydining.com.

Bring back recently added!

I never had an issue with the old version of this app but the new filtering is awful. PLEASE bring back the recently added filter, and list view that isn’t related to the map. Shame to ruin something that was perfectly functional.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share this with us. Each and every diner comment helps shape what we do next. You will be pleased to hear that since launch, both 'Recently Added' and the list view of upcoming dines are now available on both app and desktop. Please ensure you are using the latest version of the app to access these updates. As always, please reach out to support@mysterydining.com if there is anything else you need help with.

Setting up an account

Went round and round in circles, verifying codes sent via email and unable to access strong suggested passwords or reset a new password. So I gave up.

App freezes mid-review

The app has started randomly crashing mid-review if you navigate to a different app and come back. And no auto save so it loses all progress. Please add an auto save feature. Would also love an enhanced filter option to pick by visit category - same as is available on the website.

Great until recently

Lately - the last week or so, (June 2024) when I try to log in to the app the whole page just slides up and I can’t do anything at all! I noticed a review from two years ago was someone with the exact same issue. Mine worked fine until very recently. I’ve got the most up to date version of the app and I’ve got an iPhone 11 with the most up to date iOS. HELP! When it works, I love it, would be giving it five stars 👍🏼

Remember to screenshot your brief

Just some advice to potential HGEM mystery shoppers, it’s worth taking screenshots of the brief because after you’ve submitted the report you then can’t access the brief - and if the company says you didn’t follow it, it’s hard to prove that you did!!

Poor App

This is a poor app and falls down at the first hurdle of registration. No password reset option and login doesn’t work even after verification code sent. Not worth the hassle.

Fantastic app

Great app, very intuitive and make my life easier when looking for Mystery Dining

Awful!!!

The app is very annoying and randomly crashes whenever I’m writing my report meaning I have to regularly save for fear of starting again. Also on the final check screen it often gets stuck and doesn’t move past a certain point (this also happens on the safari browser). Very frustrating as you can’t submit your report until you’ve gone through the final check.

Can’t log in

I’ve had this app for months now and I’ve never made it beyond the log in page. Every time I enter my username and password the boxes all slide to the top and you can’t do anything but force closes the app. As a frequent mystery diner on the go a working app would be very handy

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. Could you please update your review or email support@mysterydining.com and include your version of iPhone and it's ios software version.

Long awaited

Brilliant app, works perfectly and saves needing to get to a pc to log in, as the website never seems to work on Apple

Making Mystery Dining easier!

I love this app! It makes finding and booking visits super easy. You can filter to find visits recently added or nearby, as well as in other locations. The map view shows the exact location of the visit as well, so you can see straight away where it is.
It was very straightforward to fill out the questionnaire via the app and upload photos directly from my phone. Saved a lot of time and now everything can be done from one device with ease!
