The app is not working with location so I can view the stores. Needs to be redone ### 1/5 — Do people use this anymore? *2023-11-15, version 1.1.2* This app is broken which I was really excited that there was an app for the store but tells me I can't use it and to check back in a few moments and can never actually use it:( ### 1/5 — Can’t even use the app *2023-11-06, version 1.1.2* Keeps say try again and doesn’t let me put in my location so I can add stuff please fix it thanks ### 1/5 — Zero Stars *2023-10-30, version 1.1.2* I’d give it 0 stars if that was an option. I can’t do anything at all on the app. As soon as I open “We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please try to view this feature again in a few moments.” Been like that for over a month ### 1/5 — Great store… non working app *2023-10-10, version 1.1.2* They need to get with the times on this app. No updates in 4 years for it? I love shopping at Rulers but it would be nice to see what’s available at my particular store location or at least view the weekly deals from my house since I live 45 minutes away from it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2023-09-28, version 1.1.2* If I could I would give it zero stars this app does not work and when I try to put the address in it says something is wrong ### 1/5 — Useless App *2023-09-20, version 1.1.2* Can’t use app as it has a message that says “We’re experiencing a few technical difficulties, please try again later”. It has said this for almost 2 years now. I keep deleted and redownloading all hoping there has been a fix, but the problem continues to persist. Would be awesome if the app was usable. ### 1/5 — Store Location technical difficulties *2023-09-05, version 1.1.2* Can’t do anything on the app because of the technical difficulties of not being able to select a store. ### 1/5 — N/A *2023-07-03, version 1.1.2* Apps experiencing tech issues ### 1/5 — Search issues *2023-06-11, version 1.1.2* App won’t even let me select or look up a store ☹️ ### 1/5 — Does work *2023-04-09, version 1.1.2* Doesn’t do a thing other than flash a box saying it’s having problems…really wish this worked or had pickup or option available for this store ### 1/5 — Glitching *2023-04-06, version 1.1.2* Can’t even get on it. Keeps saying technical issues. ### 3/5 — Needs more than a store ad *2023-01-05, version 1.1.2* This is just the store ad. If you want coupons, you have to get the Jay Foods app. It would be easier just to have 1 app instead of 2 for the same store. ### 3/5 — Okay *2022-11-30, version 1.1.2* As grocery store apps go Ruler Foods is okay. It’s list feature is basically useless. About the only thing it’s good for is to get the current ad. ### 1/5 — Shopping list *2022-10-28, version 1.1.2* Can’t get mine to work. Always shows technical difficulties. 😞 ### 3/5 — Product Lookup *2022-06-01, version 1.1.2* It would be beneficial to have the capability to look up items before going to the store to see if Ruler carries the product and what the price is. ### 1/5 — App *2022-05-23, version 1.1.2* The app doesn’t allow me to search for products or make a shopping list. Then I realized I paid $3.99 for an 8 pack of Bar S hot dogs. I can purchase the same product at Walmart for $1.18. I won’t shop at your stores anymore. ### 3/5 — Ruler coupons *2022-04-13, version 1.1.2* Wish there were coupons uploaded on the ruler app that can be used for people that live outside the mailing area. I travel 45 minutes to shop at Ruler but I do not receive mailers because I reside in a very rural area. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t work. *2024-06-19, version 1.1.2* Everytime I try to use the app it won’t let me pick a location. Can’t pick a location if they are having “technical difficulties” for a week now. ### 1/5 — App hasn’t worked in a year *2024-06-12, version 1.1.2* As most have said, this app no longer functions. Don’t download and give away your info. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-06-09, version 1.1.2* “We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please try to view this feature again in a few moments.” Is the only thing this app does. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2024-05-15, version 1.1.2* As soon as i open it to the login screen, it says “we are experiencing technical difficulties” and will not let me do anything ### 1/5 — App literally doesn’t work *2024-04-29, version 1.1.2* It just keeps saying “we are experiencing technical difficulties” and the app has not been updated in 5 years….. not sure if there is a different ruler foods store app out there ### 1/5 — Update *2024-04-15, version 1.1.2* Keep redownloading hoping it will work but will not go past zip code page. Please update asap! ### 1/5 — No working *2024-04-04, version 1.1.2* Download this app weeks ago is still not working every time you try to put my location in it doesn’t let me and says attempt cannot be my ### 1/5 — App does not work *2024-03-27, version 1.1.2* App opens, but that is as far you get. ### 1/5 — App is broken *2024-03-01, version 1.1.2* The app is broken and has not worked for many months. Seems like there is no support for it. ### 1/5 — Location *2024-01-13, version 1.1.2* Keeps saying to try again and that it’s having difficulty with the location so I can pick a store to actually use the app. I would use it if it was possible! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wendy *2023-03-22, version 1.1.2* Staff is friendly and helpful ### 5/5 — App needs to work properly *2023-02-18, version 1.1.2* List loads up but not page view.
