### 2/5 — Might Work, Might Not

*2026-01-03, version 6.4.6*

Both the United and its sister app Marketstreet only actually load and work a small percentage of the time. Most of the time it’s worthless to me for that reason, and so I switch to something that actually works even though is prefer to shop here. You’re losing business by not having a functioning app!

### 2/5 — App does not highlight grocery aisles like Walmart

*2025-12-11, version 6.4.6*

As far as I can tell, United Grocery does not provide Aisle numbers when a user searches for an item

### 2/5 — Feedback on app

*2025-11-19*

The United Supermarket in my town, in my experience for the last 16 years, is exceptionally staffed and stocked most every time I shop there. The manager maintains a very clean store and friendly and courteous employees. There are only 3 stores in my town where you can shop for groceries, one of them being Walmart. I much prefer shopping at United for the reasons I’ve listed above, even though I may pay a little more at times, I still prefer United. My only criticism is about your new versions of the App. On a fixed income so I’m shopping as wisely as possible and up to about a month ago, no problems with the App. Lately and I shopped yesterday afternoon, I’m having to spend more time checking my list on the App as it doesn’t show all products I’ve checked while I’m in the store. So my issues with the App are, checking products and not showing up on the list, having to login frequently, deleting the App and redownload weekly, unchecking items on its own. I am looking forward to the bug fixes that I hope are being implemented for the App. Thank you to anyone who has the patience to read this long reply. 😄

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you have been having issues with our app. We are constantly updating the app and trying to improve the online shopping experience. We'd be happy to try and trouble shoot any issues you may be having. Please reach out to us at guestservices@unitedtexas.com. Thank you for your valued feedback!

### 2/5 — App

*2025-10-22, version 6.4.6*

Did an update and now nothing is working. What’s going on

### 1/5 — One of the most frustrating apps in existence

*2025-09-21, version 6.4.5*

Doesn’t launch reliably, constantly fails to load pages, can’t check out without issues….. just go o HEB. Their app works beautifully.

### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2025-08-03, version 6.4.3*

Your app is absolutely worthless! Not a single category will load, no matter how long I wait. You need to scrap it and start over. My 8 year old grandson could design a better functioning app! It makes me not even want to shop there.

### 2/5 — Huge headache

*2025-07-24, version 6.4.1*

On this app for the pharmacy it always says my payment method cannot be saved. However if I call the pharmacist always says yes it’s saved already. One cycle circle that’s not needed in slightest.

### 1/5 — Absolutely worst

*2025-06-20, version 6.4.1*

It doesn’t seem to matter how many updates this app has. It’s seriously the worst. I’ve been trying to go to a different profile on the pharmacy section and no matter what I do, it goes back to my profile. The app itself doesn’t want to work 9 times out of 10 so doing online orders is ridiculously tedious. With the technology that’s available now a days, one would think it would be less buggy.

### 1/5 — The Worst

*2025-06-09, version 6.4.1*

I’ve used four different grocer apps (Brookshires, Kroger, HEB, and United) and United is by far the worst of the four. I can be in the store shopping from my list on the app, and I wake my phone to find the next item, and the stupid app has logged me out and it won’t accept my login info. Very frustrating. Do better.

### 2/5 — Constant loading screen

*2025-05-24, version 6.4.1*

The app constantly gets stuck on the grocery bag loading screen and has to be restarted.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-05-24, version 6.4.1*

The latest “improvements” have now rendered it completely useless, a total waste of my time. I give up, tired of trying, walking away.

### 1/5 — Please fix this app

*2025-05-23, version 6.4.1*

I would shop with United way more if this app worked. It’s so bad to use I choose to shop elsewhere that has a better app. I really want to shop at United but this app makes pickup orders impossible.

### 2/5 — They broke what was working.

*2025-05-22*

I have not had many issues with this app until after the latest update that was supposed to fix bugs. In my experience the app is now much worse than it was before. It is now nearly impossible to use. I’m trying to clip my deals and nothing happens. I’ve tried closing the app and trying again multiple times. I’ve also tried being very patient. I believe whoever works on this app should be required to have to use it after pushing updates. Something is wrong. I love United and am grateful there is a store in our small town. Would like for things that worked the last time I used it to work again.

### 1/5 — WORLDS WORST

*2025-05-10, version 6.4.0*

THE WORLDS WORST APP EVER!! PAINFULLY SLOW, DONT WORK ALL THE TIME. FULL OF ERRORS!! JUST A CARBON COPY OF THE HORRIBLE WEBSITE!! EVERY UPDATE JUST MAKES THINGS WORSE!!

### 1/5 — Slow app

*2025-05-04, version 6.4.0*

This app is slow and most time unresponsive takes forever to do clippings and such. I hate using this compare to my other shopping apps

### 2/5 — Probably the Worst Supermarket Website

*2025-04-30, version 6.4.0*

The best website in my humble opinion is the Safeway/Albertson’s website. It’s easy to maneuver through the various departments and the weekly ad is easy to search. United Supermarkets lacks this ease in every way. Unfortunately, there are no Safeway/Albertsons stores in Santa Fe.

### 1/5 — Lacking

*2026-03-05, version 6.4.8*

It was great at first but lately it’s been a hassle. It doesn’t open or show anything on page

### 1/5 — Terrible app!

*2026-02-05, version 6.4.7*

It’s so slow and 95% of the time the app doesn’t work or the website. It takes forever to load anything. It’s so frustrating that I have stopped using the app for pickup orders. I would rather go somewhere else where the app actually works. I can’t even get it to load to work for rewards at the gas pump.

### 1/5 — SLOW

*2026-01-09, version 6.4.6*

Hardly ever fully loads

### 1/5 — Hardly works

*2025-12-22, version 6.4.6*

This app hardly works and never loads correctly. I’m just deleting it again.

### 1/5 — BS advertising

*2025-12-20, version 6.4.6*

Add says bone in prime rib says average price of 29.90 but this was wrong. Most inexpensive was 60.00 after discount because there wasn’t a prime rib anywhere close to the weight needed for that price. You shouldn’t put that figure in your advertising if you don’t have it cause not gonna buy a prime rib for two people that will feed 10. Merry Christmas and you should be ashamed

### 1/5 — Truly the worst

*2025-11-07, version 6.4.6*

This app makes me wish smartphones didn’t exist.

### 1/5 — Watch out for HEB

*2025-11-01, version 6.4.6*

This app will make HEB an even stronger option, especially with a second store coming to Lubbock. How United leadership allows this app to operate, is beyond me. Absolutely worthless app.

### 1/5 — Useless and painful

*2025-10-23, version 6.4.6*

Every update is worse.  This one keeps logging me out so I have to log in every time I open it.  It won’t load now… AGAIN.  The IT developers need to be fired and banned forever from anything tech related since they clearly have zero clue what they are doing.  This is ridiculous and I’m about to just start buying from Walmart.  At least their app works.

### 1/5 — Decent store, Terrible app

*2025-10-22, version 6.4.6*

Slow, forgets my sign in, loses my credentials.  Should hire the Walmart app team.

### 1/5 — Update has ruined this

*2025-10-20, version 6.4.6*

How do you manage to make the app even harder to use with an “update”?  
Now you just get blank pages with in all areas.  
I can’t access my pharmacy to get my refills.  

Whoever is in charge of this app needs to be fired and then go take a lesson from WalMart.

### 5/5 — Great Job

*2025-08-22, version 6.4.5*

I think United does a great job with my delivery.Thanks for the help when delivering.
Not to leave them on my porch without my knowledge.

### 5/5 — No problems

*2025-06-12*

I just did my first pickup from the app. I had one problem (that I most likely caused) but Lori fixed it right up for me. 
This is the second time I’ve used the app. The first was in the store, where I downloaded it and used it on the same trip. I will say, I did not use the List option…so I can’t speak to that but I did clip coupons as I shopped. It all rang up correctly at the checkout. Also, the Rewards are awesome! Thank you United!!!!!

**Developer response:** That's great to hear. Thank you for your review and for being our guest!

### 5/5 — Yay!

*2025-04-28, version 6.4.0*

I just filled out an order on the updated app. They finally fixed the no subs issue!

### 5/5 — Weekly Ads

*2024-02-22, version 6.2.2*

It is very hard to read ads when there are two pages on a page. Very hard to read on my iPad/iphone. Please go back to only one on a page. 

Thank you other than trying to see weekly ad I love our United.

### 5/5 — Just because you can does not mean you should

*2020-12-09, version 5.5.5*

Who has enough time to get through this app.  
There should be a link to “my cart” on every page. 
If you say it’s there, fine, where? 
If I search for peanut butter, I also get anything to do with peanuts, butter, margarine, etc.
I could walk the whole store before getting through this app.
You’re not helping me shop.  
Give up and start over.
If you put lipstick on a pig, you still have a pig.  
1 star rating will not let me post this review. 
Forget about the stars

### 5/5 — I love the new App

*2020-09-16, version 5.5.2*

This new app for United is Super Easy!  It is fast and easy to use!  Much improved!  It makes shopping online really quick!  I love the coupons!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive review! We are happy to hear you love the app!

### 5/5 — HomeRun!

*2020-09-16, version 5.5.2*

This updated app is definitely a winner. Has helped tremendously with managing my weekly shopping. Really appreciate the speed in which it loads. Love how I can track my rewards points for free gas!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 star review! We are happy to hear the app is a winner!

### 5/5 — New and Improved!

*2020-09-11*

Apparently all the United grocery apps got an overhaul recently and it is SO GOOD now! There are some nice new features, especially with your Rewards account, and the interface is more standard and similar to other grocery shopping apps. It’s super easy to login and navigate so now I can setup my weekly grocery trip from anywhere... couch, car, bed. Lol. Give it another try, it’s waaaay worth it!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 star review! We are happy to hear you enjoy the app!

### 4/5 — better

*2025-05-16, version 6.4.1*

App is getting better. It shows all discounts now and you full price. Before had to wait til I picked up my items to see what the full price would be with discount. I’m likening it better and moving quicker.

### 3/5 — Concept ok - Speed BAD

*2025-09-23, version 6.4.5*

Please improve the speed of this app and I will be very happy!
