Not as good as Smartscan

The scan function often doesn’t work which slows me down and increases checks at the till. It is simply not as good as smartscan even on a new phone

Seriously fantabulous

Fantastic

Smart App - Poor

The separate Smart App is able to focus on barcodes within a few seconds. Whereas the Smart App tool in this app is taking up to a minute to focus on barcodes.

This is a major inconvenience when shopping

Version 4.1.0 crashes on iPad

The app crashes whenever accessing online butcher or fishmonger options from the browse menu. It also did so in the version before v4.1.0. Hopefully this can be fixed soon, as no issues on iPhone. 13” iPad Air M4 running latest iPad OS (27.0.1).

Poor

No direct transfer from the earlier app, input all my information, pressed “Register” and …. nothing!
Had to cancel. 10 minutes wasted and still not “registered”.
What was wrong with the previous app?
Rubbish. So annoyed I might start shopping at Morrisons.

Is the Sainsbury's Groceries app free to use?

Yes, the app itself is free to download and use. While there are no direct costs to use the app's features, you will be purchasing groceries and potentially paying for delivery slots or services.

Can I get my groceries delivered or collect them?
