### 2/5 — Widget still keeps logging out

*2026-05-31, version 5.0.3*

The widget for displaying your Club card barcode keeps logging out after a day or two.  No signs of this being fixed despite reporting it multiple times for over a year. That includes this new Club+ release and after fully deleting old app and data to reset it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed - App update broke rewards / Customer service is hard to reach

*2026-05-25, version 5.0.3*

I completed a 2-week new world dollar mission, but the bonus dollars never arrived. This always used to be instant before your recent app updates. Now, support is ignoring my emails, and the phone line is unreachable. Your software development issues shouldn't be a burden for loyal users. Please fix this glitch and credit my missing dollars.

### 2/5 — Had to reinstall to get club card working again

*2026-05-15, version 5.0.2*

At checkout the club card feature just showed a blank screen, tried restarting it but it didn’t work. Had to reinstall later to get it working - frustratingly cost a decent amount of money without the club card discount for that shop.

### 1/5 — New update

*2026-05-14, version 5.0.1*

New update has made the app stop opening all together

### 1/5 — Latest update breaks club card

*2026-05-13, version 5.0.1*

The latest update breaks the club card functionality, in that the club card barcode no longer displays.

### 2/5 — Club card

*2026-05-13, version 5.0.1*

The app would work for a little while, but then it suddenly stopped working, and now just tells me I have no internet connection no matter where I am, even if I have data on. 
I can’t even open the Clubcard anymore.

### 1/5 — App does not scan

*2026-05-12, version 5.0.1*

Currently the app is not scanning as the barcode will not open.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-12, version 5.0.1*

App has completely stopped working for 3 days keeps saying Network error even on WiFi and data, I‘ve tried uninstalling it, restarting my phone, force closing it, it has the most recent update and still won’t work, can’t even order my groceries absolutely ridiculous. It’s pretty much completely shut down on me can’t even use my clubcard.

### 1/5 — this is garbage

*2026-05-11, version 5.0.0*

The scan card feature no longer works so you can’t display the barcode from your phone

### 1/5 — Club card no longer accessible

*2026-05-10, version 5.0.0*

All of a sudden, when I click on scan clubcard, I just get a grey screen. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-05-02, version 4.33.2*

This app is the worst ever after constantly having to update my password I have now been locked out.!!

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-04-20*

App won’t open for me at all anymore

### 1/5 — App won’t open.

*2026-04-13, version 4.33.2*

Good idea, but the app won’t actually open so you can use it your phone.
Reinstalled the app a number of times, but just get the same results.fint waste hot time.

### 1/5 — Apple wallet inegration

*2026-03-15, version 4.33.2*

How on earth is there still no option to add your club card to your Apple wallet? This is an absolute necessity, I’ll shop at countdown.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2026-03-13, version 4.33.2*

It has locked my account, useless lady on the phone was no help either . Said changing my password should be fine n work but it doesn’t . PMO!!!!

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-03-12*

New updated app won’t open. Hu?

### 1/5 — It doesn’t open

*2026-02-23, version 4.33.2*

It literally doesn’t open, this is one of the two only grocery stores in NZ and this is your app…you already screw us on grocery prices this app is fitting

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-02-16*

All I get is a red screen. I can’t see my point or usage. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — The App Has Stopped Working

*2026-02-10*

I don’t think the app operates on iPhone 16’s and above. The app doesn’t open and just sits on a red screen on two of our newer phones.

### 1/5 — App glitches and bugs

*2026-08-29*

App cannot be used for browsing products well. It stops showing more products doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the list. Have to use the website for browsing products. App only good for finalising the cart in the end.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-08-27*

Please fix this app. Impossible to use and no good offers for members

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-07-20*

Since the revamp to Club+, neither this old app or the new one doesn’t seem to work. Old password not accepted and have tried several times to reset password on both the old and new Apps but doesn’t accept it. So cannot access my account.

### 1/5 — So Bad.

*2026-07-05*

Takes forever to open. Often logs you out for no reason. Doesn’t store your password (and your password has to be minimum 12 characters - more than nearly every banking app in the world…which, this is not). Doesn’t offer you a digital card to store in your phones wallet. Probably the worst store/club card to ever exist.

### 1/5 — Embarrassing!!

*2026-06-16, version 5.1.0*

Ahhh yes. Another poorly designed app, horrible rewards and terrible customer experience but still being forced to join to even place an order. This launch is an absolute disaster! Signing up to an account is impossible, receive my code, put in my new password, untick communications box, then I go to submit it and I get "something went wrong" ALL DAMN DAY! I'm just trying to order my groceries! No one at your call centre can help and it's not like I can use my old login can I?....... Why touch something that was working fine? but more to the point, why prevent paying customers from shopping at your business!? The worst part is foodstuffs was aware of the issues a month before but still proceeded to launch it without fixing it! You had a golden opportunity to be better than Woolworths and you could even work that out! Let's hope this third player comes in fast!

### 1/5 — Personal information gathering

*2026-06-16, version 5.1.0*

This app collects personal information at its greatest. It’s ridiculous they want your full name, email address, phone number, email verification, complex passwords plus PIN numbers just to use a SHOPPING APP! I’ve since deleted my account and the app. Goodbye

### 1/5 — 😬

*2026-06-15, version 5.1.0*

Trying to sign in following every instruction to set up a password to no avail, kinda frustrating folks.

### 1/5 — Unstable garbage

*2026-06-12, version 5.1.0*

How do they make it this bad and this unstable? It works, sometimes, maybe, sometimes. Just hopeless.

### 1/5 — Use website instead

*2026-06-01, version 5.0.3*

Barcode keeps disappearing from widget and no ability to add to wallet like Woolworths app. joined club plus and now get stuck in wrong password, forgot password, too many tries loop. Waste of time and useless. Website works fine and I’m signed in. Hopefully app will be improved and an easy option for scanning digital card added.

### 1/5 — Why so complicated

*2026-05-27, version 5.0.3*

Annoying app makes u do heaps of spupid stuff

*2025-08-09, version 4.30.0*

I love new world

### 5/5 — Too easy

*2025-06-30, version 4.29.0*

App so easy to use - shows all the specials including club card deals.  Love how convenient and time-saving online shopping is!  Also big ups tones world having same day orders - although you need to get in quick for the Windsor store.

### 5/5 — Does what it should

*2025-04-01, version 4.26.1*

I use this app frequently for my online orders, seeing New World Dollars, accessing Clubcard. I don’t have any problems with this app

### 5/5 — jjames

*2025-03-30, version 4.26.1*

i no longer get meat from new world as it goes smelly by 3rd day - returned severral times but last time was advised shelf life from point of sale was 3 days!  having run an export meat  facility i know meat at point of sale especially beef and lamb has more than 3 days before expiry if fresh  - the nw butchery shut down about 2 years ago and quality has deteriorated - i pay for organic now from down the road and much better longevity of product !

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2025-03-25, version 4.26.0*

Best app I’ve ever used, so easy and accessible, NEVER have problems with it

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-01-28, version 4.24.2*

Nice and easy to use app!

### 5/5 — Slick and much easier now

*2025-01-21, version 4.24.2*

My go-to for checking prices and doing my online shop. I find it faster than web and definitely the best way to see what special offers I’ve been given

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-11-13, version 4.22.0*

Its so Easy to use and don't need to carry my club card now. You can see previous purchases and create shopping lists and see specials deals too.. 

(Lol i tried 100 times to post this review but couldn't do it. But just wanted to share something positive instead of being negative about everything.)

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2024-07-28, version 4.19.0*

I got my barcode in my phone
