### 2/5 — Do not order of here

*2025-09-23*

I visited the free from festival not many weeks ago and decided to inquire about this fresh food delivery service so I created an account added my card details and the woman added times to our cart which we would need to take of before Sunday ( the next day )
So when I tried to get into my account it wouldn’t let me ?? 
I ended up haven’t to make a new account and ordered of there . And once my delivery day came about I ended up with multiple baskets of fruit and veg .? 
Even the week after I discontinued the other cart order it still arrived and charged my account . Should’ve stuck to Tesco and m&s . 
Do not recommend .

### 2/5 — Dated.

*2025-09-01*

August 2025 - Guy Watson, Guardian, “… everyone needs to eat less meat …”. 

App:  meat ordering is now more flexible - headline.  🤦‍♂️

—-

Feels quite slow & clunky these days.  Long scrolling lists, doesn’t remember filter or sort preferences.  Search is close to unusable.  Today a ‘kale’ search shows me potatoes, beer and meat. 🤦‍♂️ 

Great company, B corp… app needs to match.  

Pushes animal products even more from June 2025.

Please can you add the option to filter including customers “About You” diet preference? I.e plant-based. 

Don’t show animal products  when that is set. 🤷‍♂️

### 3/5 — Dated.

*2025-06-03, version 2.7.8*

Feels quite slow & clunky these days.  Some tiles leading to long scrolling lists.  Search is baffling & close to unusable.  Today a ‘kale’ search shows me potatoes, beer and meat. 🤦‍♂️ Great company, B corp… app needs to match.  Pushes animal products even more from June 2025.

### 3/5 — Variable

*2024-03-25, version 2.5.2*

Version 2.5.2: app notifications still not working after a delete / reinstall, check all settings.  🤷‍♂️

### 2/5 — Still doesn’t work in landscape mode on the iPad

*2023-09-24, version 2.2.6*

… despite a review saying so four years ago and a response saying await further developments. It doesn’t inspire confidence.

(I know the shop itself is great and awaiting first online order… this is just about the app, which needs finishing.)

### 4/5 — Fantastic food and recipes

*2023-02-26*

Love the recipes and veg quality, the only problem with the recipe boxes, I’ve ordered for 3 weeks and each time an ingredient was forgotten in the recipe boxes, so I had to go out and buy it, other than that it’s fantastic!

### 3/5 — Landscape on iPad ?

*2022-04-25, version 2.0.40*

Good app but it could be great if it could rotate to landscape on iPad.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-02-13, version 1.35.1*

Great app, found everything I needed.

### 5/5 — Great app, absolutely brilliant company, doing everything in the right way

*2021-04-17*

Firstly the app does everything needed in a simple way. Then the food tastes delicious - like veggies used to taste when you were a kid - full of flavour and care. Then there’s the company itself, doing everything t can to fly the flag for affordable sustainability, doing what’s right for the long term sustainability of the land, the producers and the customers. It’s the kind that f company our children and their children will look at and say, they cared about us years before we were born. Well done, keep going, we believe in your mission and will help wherever we can.

### 5/5 — Goodbye Supermarkets, Hello Riverford!

*2021-03-12*

I’ve just received the order this afternoon and I am very satisfied with the quality and the service and their delivery team was lovely!
I’m always sceptical of reviews as not all companies are honest but the quality most definitely matched the raving reviews associated with Riverford.
This is the first time I’ve ordered groceries online as I have also been nervous to do so out of fear the produce will be of poorer quality than advertised, but this has changed my outlook.
You’ve earned yourselves a loyal customer for sure! The company is a great initiative and look forward to be placing regular order with you guys. Thanks for exceeding my expectations.

Yours truly,
A very happy customer

### 5/5 — Highly approve

*2021-01-20, version 1.26.1*

Started vege boxes at the start of the pandemic. Wouldn’t go back. 
Well functioning app too.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2020-07-19, version 1.23.1*

Riverford are a brilliant veg box delivery company, their delivery drivers are so nice and friendly. Love the undulated veg, have been a customer for years now.

### 4/5 — Excellent service, bit of feedback

*2020-06-25*

Generally I’d say the app is great and the service itself is excellent. 

However, when my payment declined, I was told to go online to clear my balance. I immediately did this, but the only way I could do this was to change my card details to clear the balance. It’s not obvious that this is how you pay outstanding balances. You could do with some better signposting around this so people can self serve more efficiently. An update to the content should do it.

### 3/5 — No notifications

*2020-06-03, version 1.23.1*

App looks good but as yet I’ve yet to see any notifications. Everything is turned on in the app and the iPhone settings.

### 5/5 — Great app, great company

*2020-05-04*

I’ve been a Riverford customer for 11 years and they’re just the best, both for produce and customer service. This app makes it really easy to see what’s coming and change it up to suit your tastes.

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2025-11-23*

Nearly every week I request items extra to the two boxes I receive.
Nearly every week I’m told the Order is confirmed but it never shows up. 
I have requested jars of honey to be delivered once every 3 weeks and that worked for a short time but then stopped without any explanation.
Clearly I’m doing something wrong but it’s a mystery what that might be! 
What does come is delicious; I only wish I could get more of it!

### 1/5 — Downloads but won’t open

*2025-08-05, version 2.8.1*

Downloads but won’t open

### 1/5 — Does not Work

*2024-04-30, version 2.5.6*

For the past few days I haven’t been able to open the app. It crashes as soon as i click on the icon. I hope it will be fixed soon as I am unable to adjust orders.

### 1/5 — Oh well

*2021-01-14, version 1.26.1*

Currently not accepting new customers :(

### 1/5 — No fresh organic milk?

*2019-09-28, version 1.16.21*

What planet are you on?! Get with the times.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2019-09-21, version 1.16.21*

I downloaded the update this morning and now the app just makes my phone crash!

Please fix soon!

### 1/5 — Amazing food; run by idiots

*2019-09-15, version 1.15.8*

First box arrived. Food amazing. Not cheap, but quality organic food ensuring farmers paid appropriately; unlike other outlets one could mention. Contacted them to say “love the food; how do I select which menus I want each week”. Their answer “cancel your regular order so that you can choose”.

So a company that I’d placed a regular weekly order with and loved the food told me to cancel my regular order. So I did.

Idiots.

Can’t deal with stupid people at home; have to do that too much at work.

### 1/5 — Can’t see different recipes

*2019-09-06, version 1.15.8*

Coming from other meal providers it’s easy to see the list of recipes available and switch between them. With Riverford they have names like vegan, meat, simple, foodie. It is impossible to simply see the recipes available and switch on a regular basis

### 1/5 — Not able to use on iPad

*2019-07-09, version 1.12.39*

I downloaded the app on my iPad but I am stuck in the loop of hell. For some reason, the app has sent an email for me to click on? And when I view the email it is asking me to reset my password. Seriously, bug like this are not acceptable. It’s really lame. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP. It has just wasted my time and my mood!

### 1/5 — Tells me to update to use but no update available

*2019-03-25, version 1.11.4*

Love to use this but after downloading it wants me to update to latest version. It redirects me to iTunes and my only option is to open the app. The circle then repeats. Shame I was looking forward to using.

### 5/5 — Loving my veg box

*2026-01-27, version 2.11.4*

Love the veg so fresh so seasonal and feels so good for me
Also love the recipe sheet and ideas from web site 
Brilliant

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing

*2026-01-20*

The app is easy and useful. I had my first delivery this morning and it was absolut perfection. Three boxes packed with a lot of care and delivered on time. The tastiest apples and blood oranges ever. Looking forward to eat all of this :) Im assuming its not everyones cup of tea, because you do need to place your order in advance, but in my opinion its worth waiting. 10/10

### 5/5 — Ordering veg via an app made easy

*2025-05-14, version 2.7.8*

Easy to interact with this app from browsing the shop, placing orders or getting notifications. Well done Riverford.

### 5/5 — Brilliantly useful app

*2025-05-14*

The app is so handy to let you update your orders, see what’s new and to know when your order is on its way and I get a little reminder to leave my boxes out. Strong reco for any Riverford customers.

### 5/5 — Great app & great veg!

*2025-05-14, version 2.7.8*

Love the simple app & the new delivery notifications are helpful to plan the day

### 5/5 — Love everything about Riverford

*2025-04-21, version 2.7.6*

Can’t fault anything! Happy customer

### 5/5 — Good App

*2025-03-19, version 2.7.5*

Very easy to use, incredibly flexible.
A live chat addition would be useful

### 5/5 — Brilliant app and company!

*2024-11-02*

Such a brilliant and easy to use app and such a great company to support! Thank you for providing the nation with amazing, organic, fresh, delicious produce and for supporting British farmers and standing up to farm washing! Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Great app and food!

*2024-10-11*

Finally a stable app that is easy to navigate and stable. It matches the great service and quality ingredients from Riverford. A very happy customer of three months. LOVE the recipe boxes!!

### 5/5 — Excellent Produce and Great Customer Service

*2022-10-03*

Excellent produce that stay fresh longer than the ones from supermarket. Delivery is spot on and friendly. The cashew milk and hummus are delicious. Highly recommend!
