### 3/5 — Regular venue closed on skip but it isn’t

*2026-06-08*

I have routinely found my work coffee shop closed on the skip app. I order it the OG way, at the counter, only to hear the tell tale “ring”
Tone of Skip orders coming through. 
This never used to happen but the last few upgrades haven’t fixed it and it’s annoying!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-27, version 1.9.9*

Amazing app for anyone who goes to the same place for coffee on the way to work!

### 1/5 — Used to be very convenient

*2026-03-08, version 1.9.9*

This app use to make ordering coffee very convenient, now it makes the experience frustrating. What’s with the new loading page after you pay!? Half the time is it doesn’t work. Won’t be using it anymore.

### 1/5 — Unstable app and ill-considered.

*2026-03-04, version 1.9.9*

This app frequently crashes and freezes. Customers seem to have regular problems, and adoption by vendors has also gone down. Also, many aspects, such as payments, have been poorly thought about.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-02-11, version 1.9.9*

As per other reviews I agree this is such a glitchy app. Continually logs me out so the time saved in ordering ahead is used up re logging in. Hopefully Bopple will be better. Skip now deleted.

### 2/5 — Poorly maintained

*2025-11-26, version 1.9.9*

Someone spent some money on this. It’s nice looking and works but it really needs some TLC. Most things are a bit broken. Recents, favourites, history don’t work consistently. It’s really hard to find where you can buy the weekly vouchers and there’s no shortcut to use these when ordering a coffee. This app could be great. As it is it’s a bit of a paper cut each day.

### 2/5 — Works but notifications suck

*2025-10-12, version 1.9.9*

Constantly seeing a little "1" next to the app indicating there is a notification there for me. Go into the app, nothing there, then the notification has disappeared too. Nothing more than an attention robbing attempt by skip to get you to engage with the app. Not at all endearing.

### 2/5 — Has gone down hill

*2025-08-23, version 1.9.9*

This app was good, but the constant logging out and in is frustrating, especially when you need to jump out of the app to access your centralised password tool (1Password). How about, log us in and keep us logged in for a week. This isn’t some money transferring back app, I’m just trying to buy a lemon slice!!

### 1/5 — What have you done??

*2025-08-12, version 1.9.9*

This app is so glitchy. I have ordered coffees only for it to notify me that the order didn’t go through. After reordering, the original order goes through leaving me with two orders that have been paid for. Honestly Skip, sort this out!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-07-09, version 1.9.7*

Asks me to log in every single day even though I’m not logging out. Then doesn’t remember my information. A truly dreadful app.
