### 3/5 — LOW Tip

*2019-02-11*

This seems like a bug - when I am placing an order and selecting a tip, there’s a drop-down menu allowing me to select anything between 0-5%. If I’m only ordering 1 sandwich for delivery this seems incredibly low ($0.30 at 5%). 

How can I add a tip manually for an explicit amount of money or pick a higher percent?

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2019-02-01*

App has a few glitches when reviewing and placing orders. Took a few attempts to get order placed. Sometimes when selecting the order ready time, it takes you back a screen and then you have to review order again.   Also, the app selected incorrect store location, even after I selected the correct location. Eventually placed order at right store.

### 2/5 — Not for delivery

*2018-01-19*

App did not have all the toppings available. Called store and they actually did have what I want.  Unable to order for delivery from app.

### 3/5 — Good

*2017-06-04*

Great app but before I place my order, I see that I'm logged in. Then as I'm placing my order and checking out, it's asking me to log in or check out as a guest. When I log in, my order clears out and I have to re-key it in. Also, the special instructions sections has a limited amount of characters that aren't helpful at all. Otherwise, great convenience to order through the app.

### 2/5 — Excellent food, crappy app

*2016-11-09, version 1.0.1*

The app itself is very complicated and annoying to use, especially when needing to order a sandwich in a timely manner. Excellent food although

### 1/5 — Useless, Worst App Ever

*2016-10-20, version 1.0.1*

This is by far one of the worst apps, if not the worst app I've ever used. Doesn't give you credit or anything. It's useless. Just order from their website. Their food is amazing!

### 1/5 — Planet Sub app fail

*2016-05-16, version 1.0.1*

I can't figure out why I bothered to install this app. There is no access to a menu from the app so what good is it?  I'm going to blow it up and just walk in the door and order and wait.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2016-03-17, version 1.0.1*

You can ONLY earn rewards if you link a credit/debit card to the app and pay with your phone through the app.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2016-03-12, version 1.0.1*

The app seems to be no different than the mobile site. Sadly, that is very difficult to use as well. I ended up calling to place an order. That's all week and good, but I rarely consider ordering from places where online ordering isn't possible.

### 1/5 — No credit

*2016-03-08, version 1.0.1*

I have spent enough to get credit on my account but the app has only tracked 1/6 of my spending. Even though the transaction history shows that I have spent more than enough to get credit.

### 1/5 — Buggy, buggy buggy

*2016-03-04, version 1.0.1*

Wasted 15 minutes with this useless app. LevelUp software is costing Planet Sub customers.

### 1/5 — Horrible horrible app, good food

*2016-01-13*

Seriously, this is easily one of the worst apps I have ever had to endure. Half of the app is essentially a web site facade and half is app-specific. I am enrolled as a user but I can't order from that side. If I try and order from the menu side, I have to log in and enter ALL of my information every time I use it. It's as if I never ordered before. Seriously, it has a link to get the app from within the app! 
I wish I knew who wrote this so I could bad mouth them as well. I write these apps for a living and I'd be ashamed to have this as one of my programs.
Just order from their website; the food's delicious and the people good people. Avoid this app like you owed it money.

### 4/5 — Kmead50

*2016-01-03*

The app in itself is awesome. And user friendly. And then the store added credit to my my account after I used the website for the first time. Which is also a plus. I haven't connected it to my "Wallet" app yet. More to come.

### 1/5 — Not User Friendly

*2024-03-16*

Can’t find where a combo with chips and a drink are and can’t edit previous orders for faster ordering. Won’t be using this to order.

### 1/5 — Does this even work anymore?

*2022-01-29*

Got an email saying I got a birthday credit, yay! Open the app and it doesn’t go past the ‘getting started’ page. I see the app hasn’t been updated in over 4 years. I want to order a sub, but can’t.

### 1/5 — Attach credit card

*2020-08-29*

Why do we have to pay they app to get rewards.  We should be able to get rewards without paying thru app.

### 1/5 — Online ordering

*2018-10-01*

I was unable to get the Monday discount if you order and pay online. What good is the app if you can’t get the discount or employees can’t access it at the store level.  I am extremely frustrated and angry to have to over pay by $7.00.  You won’t see me back there unless this is rectified

### 1/5 — Checkout Doesn’t Work

*2018-05-23, version 1.1.1*

I’ve been using another Level Up app for Steak n Shake for a few years with no problems, so I felt confident using this app for Planet Sub. 

I’ve now tried to check out with this app at two different Planet Subs.  It simply does not work.  The employees at both locations said it rarely does.  They said sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes to read the QR code, but even then it may not work.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2018-04-03*

I can’t even log into my account. Useless.

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2017-08-27, version 1.1.0*

You only can get rewards if you pay through the app. Additionally, you can't add a gift card to your balance to use towards purchases.

### 1/5 — This App is hot garbage

*2017-07-07, version 1.0.1*

Love planet sub but I'm not sure why they would put this app on the market if it doesn't work. Literally nothing works on the app, can't even checkout

### 1/5 — Just terrible

*2017-02-25, version 1.0.1*

Worst restaurant app I have used.

### 1/5 — Never works in the restaurant

*2016-11-21, version 1.0.1*

Absolutely worthless app. Complete garbage.
