I want to throw my phone across the store. More than 75% of the time when I go to one of the stores, and open this app, all I see is a map. No matter how many times I refresh it all it shows is a map… If you’re trying to use location services to verify that I’m in inside a store, you need to fix it. Better yet, just let me choose a store and figure out the location sometime else. It’s super frustrating to stand there and wait for this thing to figure out where I’m at. otherwise, I wish there were more stores that this worked at like major chains, Kroger, etc. because when it works this is amazing I love being able to scan all the items in my cart check out and just walk through the line without waiting. Fix the location thing and I’d give it 20 stars!! ### 4/5 — Recent issues *2023-07-09, version 5.0.17* This was FANTASTIC but now everyone I open the app it immediately closes. I’m disappointed. The store I use it for is HORRIBLE about checkout lanes and I really relied on this app. Please look into this and update. ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-04-28, version 5.0.17* Never works. Item not found whenever I scan at Ridleys in Gypsum, CO. Worthless ### 1/5 — Skip *2022-12-30, version 5.0.17* This app was great when I first got it. Now there’s literally nothing I can do to login it. Passwords been changed. Email confirmed and I even deleted the app 4 times and still nothing. They also the absolute worst customer support ever. No one will ever get back to you. A waste of an app. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2022-12-02, version 5.0.17* Just add gas support ### 3/5 — Not working as great as it used to *2021-10-02* Every time I pull the app up in the store I have to log out and log back in to be able to start scanning and checking out. It used to be much better and no issues. May just be a glitch. ### 1/5 — Demo *2020-11-03, version 5.0.6* Can’t get past the Demo screen. Can’t start the demo or skip it, just stuck there. ### 1/5 — Useless with google voice number *2020-09-13, version 5.0.5* I’m tired of spam calls. I’m tired of being tracked. I tried to sign up with my google voice number and it wouldn’t let me because it wasn’t a “mobile” number. It can receive text messages! Until you fix this oversight I won’t sign up. These grocery store rewards programs are too sleazy. ### 5/5 — Woah. New bar?! *2020-06-03, version 5.0.0* Pretty cool. ### 5/5 — Best App for busy families *2020-05-05* I love that I can be in and out of the store so quickly. When I need to grab a few things I can use the tools in the app to find an item quickly. I’m not in a hurry my daughter loves to help me scan the items. The checker is always ready for me to review my basket very quickly and I’m on my way. Now that we are seeing crazy times at the grocery store I love that I don’t have to touch any card machines or wait in long lines. Trips to the store and quick and easy with this app. ## Frequently asked questions about Skip Checkout ### What does the Skip Checkout app do?
