### 3/5 — Good delivery, buggy app

*2021-02-11, version 5.0.3*

The people doing delivery have been great in the last several months I’ve used this app, but the UX for the actual app is not good. Search results net different results depending on where you search from, the structure of the app itself is confused and again, limits what you see depending on the path you take (when trying to buy things, choose your own adventure isn’t ideal; I should consistently see the same selection of, say, red wines with the same filters netting the same results in a single shopping experience), and when I downloaded the app to a new device I had to enter my address and directions for delivery before I had the option to log in, and then THAT was an endless loop. I also find the points system is buggy and doesn’t add points to your account consistently.

### 5/5 — Excellent Service

*2020-04-14, version 4.2.8*

Thanks for the excellent customer service. Keep up the good work

### 1/5 — Terrible customer service.     Rude sarcastic

*2020-04-12, version 4.2.8*

I placed an order and 3 hrs later told store closed.   Upon canceling.   Just rude responses

It be fair;   I received a sincere/professional reply from the developer and offer to review my concerns.    I do not wish to continue this matter but did want to thank the developer. I was polite to your staff and it’s too bad they don’t do business as you do.

### 5/5 — Where’s my order?

*2020-04-10, version 4.2.8*

I placed an order, which I was charged for, that I did not receive and is now marked as “delivered” in the app. I was not contacted in anyway to be notified of delivery, my $150 order is now nowhere to be found. The security at my building checked the cameras for me and no one even entered during the time they “delivered” my order. I immediately gave multiple attempts to contact the company via email, phone and online chat with no answer on their end. Obviously they don’t ask for ID at the door.

### 5/5 — Runner

*2020-04-09, version 4.2.8*

I highly recommend this new app. When I experienced a glitch and wrote in, Runner responded very quickly and rectified the problem. Great service. Keep up the good work.👍🏿

### 2/5 — Higher prices for less service - here what’s wrong

*2020-03-13, version 4.2.4*

I really wanted to love this app because I would rather have things delivered and save my own time doing anything other than driving in downtown Toronto traffic.   But there are some inherent problems that make this app’s business model untenable.

First:  Cost
The prices are marked up a few dollars per bottle more than the LCBO.  Fine I get it.  All  the other delivery services have marked up food prices too.   But then there is also a larger $10 delivery fee on top of that.  Add to that a driver tip, and your order of a couple bottles of wine includes fees equivalent to about $20.

Second:  Accuracy & Thoughtfulness
The drivers keep screwing up my orders.  I have had to contact the company on multiple occasions to get a refund.  Latest time was due to the driver not picking up 2, 1.5 litre bottles of the wine - which I paid $125 bucks for.  Driver shows up with 2 750ml bottles.  When questioned, he claimed they didn’t have the 1.5L.  Ok fine.  Why didn’t you pick up 4 750ml bottles?  I had “OK with replacements” checked exactly for that eventuality.   Pretty sure the driver messed up and didn’t want to admit it.  I’m not even sure if I was refunded the correct amount.  I’m sure the driver probably for the full tip.

Third:  Promptness
My orders have been delivered in a reasonable amount of time once in a while.   Latest order took about an hour.  Not bad.  Not great though since I only live a 10 minute drive away from LCBO (as does everyone in Toronto).  My use case for such a service is:  If it’s quick and reasonably priced, I’ll get it delivered and do something I enjoy with the time I’ve saved, like cooking, rather than drive and get it myself.  Over an hour doesn’t work for me if I’m preparing dinner after getting home from work and I want wine with dinner.

Is the service better than nothing?
Absolutely.

Are there better alternatives out there that are priced more fairly, are more accurate, and arrive much much faster?

Absolutely, and I regret to say that is why I’m deleting the app.  

A popular food delivery company in my area beats Runner in every category.  No marked up bottles.  Delivery is $4 cheaper. But most importantly, my orders aren’t messed up, there is no question of what I paid for vs what I got, and they are delivered in a reasonable time.  Like 15 minutes consistently.

Hopefully this review can help the people at Runner fix what’s broken.  I don’t want them to close up shop. I just hope they can become more competitive.

### 5/5 — Fantastic service

*2020-03-10, version 4.2.4*

Runner is always professional and provides excellent service!! Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Fabulous service

*2020-03-04, version 4.2.2*

Reliable, fast and pleasant ! Perfect combo !

### 1/5 — Sincerely disappointed

*2020-02-01, version 4.1.8*

My roommate ordered through this app and was happy enough to refer to me 
Now all of a sudden neither of us can order through this app because we’re outside the delivery zone?!  How are we suddenly outside of the zone now? And why wouldn’t you tell your customers this before they order?? 
You guys are working backwards.

### 1/5 — App broken

*2023-07-08, version 5.5.6*

Can’t reset password or even look at the app. Starting to think it’s completely offline as all the reviews are super old. Support team please get back to me if the app is still active?

### 1/5 — Broken app needs updating

*2023-02-04, version 5.1.6*

The app is broken. I had to use a web browser to create an account after repeatedly getting the “oops:)” error message. 
Lots of weird errors like no way to close the forgot password send email modal, didn’t even email me anyway. If I don’t have an account and I try to see if I just forgot my password, the whole app shouldn’t just break.
Inputs got filled in with random numbers when trying to sign up.

### 1/5 — Can’t create profile

*2022-05-10, version 5.1.6*

I keep getting the oops error and cannot create a profile.

### 1/5 — Janky App

*2022-01-23, version 5.1.6*

I can’t even create a profile on this app because it keeps saying “oops”… talk about a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Can’t opt out of marketing notifications

*2021-09-18, version 5.1.3*

Although the app seems to give you the option of opting out of marketing push notifications, it doesn’t actually work. You have to turn off all notifications for Runner from Settings to get them to stop — and they are frequent. Misleading and extremely annoying.

### 1/5 — So many push ads

*2021-06-26, version 5.1.1*

The app keeps sending ads as push notifications, even though I opted out in the settings.

### 1/5 — Review

*2020-09-12, version 4.3.7*

Very frustrated with the selection 
Challenging app to negotiate 
(They even makes posting a review challenging lol)

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2020-05-27, version 4.3.1*

Delivery times not at all adhered to. No customer service support to advise of and communicate delays. Just don’t promise anything and it’ll work out better for all.

### 1/5 — Worst customer service

*2020-05-22, version 4.3.1*

Order placed at 2:51pm. Connect by chat three times. 8pm nothing received yet. Disgusting service. Ridículos!

### 1/5 — The app keeps crashing every time I try to make an order.

*2020-04-28, version 4.2.9*

It doesn’t work.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great! 1 suggestion though!

*2022-09-23, version 5.1.6*

Love it ! Always delivered within about 2 hours to my door. I have a suggestion though, I would love it if I could tip after the delivery , just like keep it open to tip a few hours after , sometimes the driver goes above for example in helping you find a substitute and spending the extra time to make sure it’s something you really want and you want to top up the tip but yeah awesome app and service !

### 5/5 — Good Service

*2020-11-13, version 4.3.11*

We have been runner for a while. It seems to work well. It all started in April when the LCBO said they were going to deliver to our house and instead dropped our package of at Canada Post.

### 5/5 — Runner App

*2020-06-27, version 4.3.4*

Great app for quick delivery! Nice mix of products and unique options even on wine :) great when you are in a pinch!

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2020-06-12, version 4.3.1*

Such a great App! Accurate delivery times and notifications.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2020-05-20, version 4.3.1*

I just placed my first order and the app is really simple to use and the delivery is said to arrive in one hour! So far so good!

### 5/5 — Awesome Work

*2020-05-19, version 4.3.1*

Best way to stay safe in this time quarantine, Use these guys 👍🏽🍺

### 5/5 — Just a bunch of dolls

*2020-05-05, version 4.3.1*

Love not going to the liquor store right now; thank you! 💕

### 5/5 — The best app I’ve ever used

*2020-04-19, version 4.2.8*

Enough said - this is the best app in the App Store.

### 5/5 — Great Service in these times.

*2020-04-19, version 4.2.8*

Nothing but good things to say about Runner. Fast, friendly and efficient. When you are trying your best to self isolate they make the booze run for you. Always on time and keep communication open if there is any delay (which is very rare).

### 5/5 — The best!

*2020-04-15, version 4.2.8*

Customer service is amazing, helped me find a replacement product when the product I ordered wasn’t in stock! Use these guys all the time, and now I’ve been ordering their rush products as well. Making quarantine a whole lot brighter, thank you! ♥️
