### 3/5 — Sometimes

*2025-04-27, version 1.9*

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t

### 2/5 — Wic App

*2025-04-16*

Well, it was working great. Was a wonderful option to have. Now it wont work. Cant log in. Says there is a network error. Its not on my end. I have data, wifi, restarted my phone, checked for updates etc. so it’s frustrating not being able to use an app that im depending on seeing if benefits were updated to a new formula the Dr is sending a note over for.

### 4/5 — Some things don't check out

*2024-11-10, version 1.9*

When I scan the app lately it said it's approved the when go to check out it doesn't pay for it. Not sure why.   Thanks

### 4/5 — Functional scanner fixed could be optimized

*2023-11-11, version 1.8*

Overall, the app is a great resource to utilize when you are in the store checking your benefits, but more importantly, being able to scan and verify that the items are indeed included in the program as store labeling can be incorrect or not available. Not too long ago app update, resolved the camera issues that were occurring for quite some time, so thank you! Overall, the app does the job. the benefits screen gets in the way of current benefits a little bit and could provide a better UX. Overall the app could be a little bit snappier and optimized from a performance standpoint.

### 2/5 — UPC scan doesn’t work

*2023-10-24, version 1.8*

For whatever reason the upc scan doesn’t work - just shows a black screen when trying to use it

### 1/5 — Scanner issues

*2023-04-19, version 1.5*

The scanner quit working about 6 months ago. Which made this app only good for checking usage. When the scanner worked this app was great.   I’ve called to see if anyone can help and I keep getting told to update the app.

### 2/5 — Scanner doesn’t work!

*2023-04-16, version 1.5*

The scanner is so blurry that nothing scans so I haven’t been able to use that function for several months now… please fix this!

### 1/5 — Scanner/Camera is broke

*2023-04-13, version 1.5*

I’m new to WIC and sometimes grab the wrong thing… I check out and then have to return the items that aren’t covered. It would be helpful if the scanner wasn’t blurry and actually scanned.

### 3/5 — Fix camera

*2023-04-13, version 1.5*

My app scanner is extremely glitchy and I can not scan a single item to be able to make sure I’m grabbing the rite items it needs to be fixed

### 1/5 — Wic

*2023-04-12, version 1.5*

The UPC scan on the app is to blurry to scan anything. Makes it super hard trying to figure out what’s wic specially when half the stores don’t have wic signs .

### 2/5 — Scanner

*2023-04-11, version 1.5*

Scanner in the app doesn’t work anymore. When I go to scan anything it’s blurry and doesn’t read it

### 1/5 — Update Broke Scanning

*2023-04-09*

Months ago, you made an update to the app. When you did that, you completely broke the ability to scan things. Now, when you launch the scanner, everything is distorted and it will not focus on the UPC barcode. Please fix it.

### 3/5 — Scanner

*2023-04-02, version 1.5*

The scanning function on the app is not working, it is out of focus and would not complete the process. Everything else works good

### 2/5 — Used to work great

*2023-03-30, version 1.5*

This app used to work great but a few months ago the scanner stopped working properly it is super fuzzy and won’t focus on any thing.

### 1/5 — Scanner???

*2023-03-23, version 1.5*

Whats up with the scanner being so blurry now. Can’t check my items

### 1/5 — Camera /upc scan

*2023-03-21, version 1.5*

The camera is super blurry and won’t scan anything

### 4/5 — Need to fix camera !

*2023-03-18, version 1.5*

I honestly love the app so far! Only downfall is the camera does not work. It’s so blurry you cannot scan anything . Some stores don’t label everything correctly so it’s hard to tell what you can and cannot get.

### 1/5 — Wic App- worst!!!!

*2025-06-18, version 2.0*

Well the concept is amazing. But after the first time using it. Doesnt work anymore! It’s so frustrating! User not found is what it says EVERYTIME! But when I try to make a new account, “an account already exists” 
Its just ridiculous to have an app so many people depend on for it to not work!

### 1/5 — UPC Scanner

*2025-03-28, version 1.9*

### 1/5 — Constantly crashing

*2024-05-01, version 1.8*

It always crashes when I need to use it and freezes to where I can’t see what I still need. Absolutely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Always something

*2023-09-02, version 1.7*

First it was that the scanner wouldn’t work.
Now it doesn’t let you sign in/forgot password/create new account to see any of your benefits. So very annoying…

### 1/5 — Can’t get in

*2023-06-29, version 1.7*

I entered all of my information to register for an account, and it says it’s invalid information. I triple checked all the numbers. They worked to activate the card and to sign into the Wic Connect website, but the app is still blocking me. I looked all over the Wic website and called the appointment line and the card service line, and nobody can help me. I hope someone can contact me about this problem and get it sorted out!

### 1/5 — horrible

### 1/5 — Scanner

*2023-05-10, version 1.6*

### 5/5 — Easy to Use & Accurate

*2022-06-02, version 1.3*

Up to date by the minute and so easy to use. Way better than the paper checks and having to buy things you don’t need yet. I love the scanning products feature to check if it’s included because store tags aren’t usually accurate.
