### 3/5 — Udeals

*2026-08-09, version 2026.25.1*

Love savings-dislike adding 1 by 1. I don’t understand why there cannot be an option to either add 1 by 1 or click an option to add them all.

### 4/5 — Usage of app

*2026-08-07, version 2026.25.1*

I like it a lot but sometimes my phone carrier doesn’t work and I have to wait until I get into the store.

### 4/5 — Regular delivery customer

*2026-08-06, version 2026.25.1*

Orders are mostly left
In the designated area and are
Timely.  Sometimes, breads are crushed or fruits and vegetables are not fresh.  Customer service refunds with no issue but it’s inconvenient

### 2/5 — Weekly ad

*2026-08-06, version 2026.25.1*

Why is it every week, there are sake items pictured that you cannot click on??? Not helpful!

### 3/5 — Love app BUT……

*2026-08-03, version 2026.25.1*

Coupons I clip at home don’t always stay clipped. Ex: I clip digital coupons for any produce $1.99. Get to register and get charged $3.99. Tell cashier it’s $1.99 and show my app on my phone and they have to ‘do math on the spot’ to make correction. At times I have had to go back in store and get refunded! It happens EVERY SINGLE shop.

### 3/5 — Cart

*2026-08-02, version 2026.25.1*

Sometimes I click on items and they don’t load to my cart. I assume they are there and get surprised when I do a pickup and it’s missing items

### 3/5 — Frustrating to use

*2026-07-30*

I have been using this service for over a year at this point. It can be very convenient to add items to a cart throughout the week rather than make a list; or even to put an order together while at work. The app is easy to use for the most part but I have a few gripes. 

When items aren’t listed EXACTLY as described on the app, they are “unavailable” in store. Unless you have chosen a substitute, you’re not getting the item. You receive updates if something wasn’t in stock and you are sent a link to the app to make a request. The app frequently breaks so even when you get a message to “ask for a substitution” the link does not work to chat with anyone. When calling the Albertsons customer service line for help, you have to deal with an AI agent that cannot help you with your order and you get transferred to an agent that can’t help you with your order. Calling the store gets you transferred more than once. You don’t always get all of the items you ordered so It’s honestly faster to just go to the store yourself and get it right the first time. Produce is mixed quality at best and we frequently get outdated bakery goods or are told they are out of stock if you ask for refunds too frequently.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to provide detailed comments about your experience with our online shopping service. We're concerned to hear about the issues you encountered with item substitutions, app functionality, customer support, order accuracy, and product quality. Please chat with us on the Apple app by visiting 'Need Help' under the Settings page, or use the website on your mobile browser for further assistance. You can still enjoy this feature on our website.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2026-07-29, version 2026.24.0*

Using iPhone 17 Pro. App will frequently crash when trying to add groceries to list or just use the search. App is slow to load and slow to respond when navigating back and forth between cart/search/lists.

Trying to invite a family member to my group, the text message never arrives, and I can't use email because it says "email isn't set up on my device yet," even though I have both a verified email in the app, and a default email application set in iOS.

### 5/5 — 1st Online Pick Up Order

*2026-07-28*

I have never placed an order online to be picked up at Shaws until a few weeks ago at the middle Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts location. I must say that the experience was most positive in which when I arrived the person who seemed to manage the area of pick up was extremely well-versed and New before I could tell him anything that my order was already in the carriage and ready for me to go. Everything was there in stock that I had placed in my car and the person that helped me that seemed to manage. The pick up area was just amazing and just less than three minutes I was out the door something that would normally take me an hour, which was a blessing.  I will definitely use the service again as it is the best that I have yet to experience

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 5‑star rating and for sharing your first pickup experience! We're delighted to hear your order at the Middle Street Shaw's in Weymouth was ready to go and that the pickup process was so quick and convenient. It's wonderful to know the team made such a positive impression. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Happy shopping!

### 4/5 — Over  80

*2026-07-25, version 2026.23.0*

### 5/5 — Shaw’s flyer

*2026-07-21, version 2026.23.0*

### 3/5 — 57 year shopper

*2026-07-20, version 2026.22.0*

shelves don’t get restocked,  always long waits for cashier, need to watch market basket model  always stocked and every register is open with a bagger

### 4/5 — Clipping coupons

*2026-07-18, version 2026.22.0*

You should have an option to do clip all so we don’t have to go one at a time and if somebody wants one at a time they can do it so if you can do two options for that would be great

### 5/5 — Shop easy use shaws app Shopping List add items

*2026-07-18, version 2026.22.0*

Connect to the store before you enter with your list and you should be done in less time let’s see now.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Non-functional

*2026-07-24, version 2026.23.0*

For the last two weeks the app will not work which makes it impossible to access sale items. 
But of course, I could always purchase the item at full price and then go and stand in line at tbe help counter. That would be fun.

### 1/5 — Good savings but VERY INCONVENIENT

*2026-07-12, version 2026.21.1*

The app can be extremely inconvenient when you just need to get your damn groceries and then flash is always shoved in your face and there’s no free flash option even when you have tons of points and then the pickup and delivery windows fill up too quickly rather than 2 hours before to select that window and it feels like it’s on purpose to force you to pay for their flash option . It’s incredibly inconvenient, honestly they should just allow the 1-2 hours before to keep or select the reservation if the store is literally open until 10pm but it’s like a worse version of Walmart in being incredibly inconvenient and trying to force you to pay for their flash option. THEN, there’s the unnecessary ai that is just extremely useless and helps absolutely no one, humans handle human issues better than ai will and it really doesn’t help with anything that you can’t look up or find yourself.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-01, version 2026.21.0*

Everytime i try to use this app instore to “clip coupons” i end up feeling like an absolute idiot as the clerk attempts and fails to assist me. I will once again be deleting this useless app. Probably wont go to shaws for a while. Thankfully the people behind me in line expressed the exact same complaint when I apologized for holding up the lind.

### 1/5 — Junk app

*2026-06-27, version 2026.20.0*

Absolutely the worst grocery experience I’ve ever encountered. Can’t get anywhere in the app. Try to go in as guest, brings me to location. Give it a location and it brings me back to login. Continue as guest and repeat. Somebody was sleeping creating this app and there was no QA. useless.

### 1/5 — Prices

*2026-06-26, version 2026.20.0*

Your prices are outrageous on a lot of things, I only shop here when I have too since Walmart has everything you have without crazy fluctuating prices on items. Soon enough I’ll just stop coming to dues and do all my shopping at Walmart

### 1/5 — Constant location requests

*2026-06-24, version 2026.20.0*

For some reason, this app has to ask you for your location every single time you open it even though you have already specified your store and where you want to order from in your account, they still need your location undoubtably to sell your location data to other people

### 1/5 — App has not worked for a week on my iPhone

*2026-06-07, version 2026.17.0*

This app is driving me crazy. I try to sign in (either both phone # and email address) anf  it says the app isn’t working: try again later. Please define “later.”
How do I get digital coupons when this happens?

### 1/5 — App closes

*2026-05-31, version 2026.15.0*

If you can’t provide an OLDER VERSION AND OR A LINK TO A WEB APP FOR SHAWS 
PLEASE FIND SOMEONE CAPABLE .
This is a poor performance issue that will be addressed shortly 
Last chance to make things right FOR THE THOUSANDS OF SHAWS CUSTOMERS!!!
Yes YOUR POSITIONS ARE IN THE GRINDER.

### 1/5 — who is the ai for?

*2026-05-23, version 2026.15.0*

the forced integration of ai into every goddamn facet of our lives is laughable at this point. who is it for? the people making money off of it and that’s it. if you need help from an ai chat assistant to pick out groceries maybe you should starve.

### 1/5 — App wont download

*2026-05-22, version 2026.15.0*

Cant get a signal in here so tried the store wifi and still waiting for it to download..12 minutes so far..says 10 min to go

### 5/5 — A well-designed app and major time saver

*2026-08-22*

This app makes grocery shopping so easy! It has saved me untold hours over the years. Three suggestions that would make it absolutely perfect - 1) Allow a specified quantity for substitutions! If I order 5 potatoes and my substitution is a bag of potatoes, it would be great to say 1 bag rather than 5. I currently put this info in the notes but it’s time consuming to do this for every item. 2) On the Buy Again page, as I scroll down and it loads more items it skips down so I have to scroll back up to find where I left off. 3) Also on the Buy Again page, if I search something and then hit back to go back to the list, it takes me to the top and I need to scroll way down to find my spot again. There was a time when it would remember your place, at least temporarily, but it doesn’t do that anymore.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that the app has helped you made your shopping experience even more rewarding. We look forward to continuing to bring you great value and convenience every time you shop with us.
