Inconvenient app

It’s 2026, progressive country we live in, and no apple/google pay? Insecure form, where everyone could see my all details of the card, while I’m entering them. There is a time’s approved UX, why don’t you use it?

Can’t see the updates

Please make sure to update in daily basis

Support cannot fix my issue

Lots of bugs - cannot recharge my sons lunch card for a week, support is slow and it has not been resolved.

Cranleigh

Constantly wrong amount deducted. We even have been charged for the school lunch during the half term. I’m afraid very dodgy

Menu not available

Ordering without menu

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I hate this app and it’s not working anymore

Card replacement

I had to pay now the second time for a card and I hope we get it. Can’t get in touch with anyone. The school doesn’t know. It’s very hard to communicate with you really disappointed!

Better choices

Please add photos of the food as it is relevant when choosing for picky eaters

Apple Pay adoption for Topups

I would kindly request to add apply pay as payment method instead of every time adding card details, will be much easier and I think faster

Yogi

One of the worst apps if patent has to place a weekly repeat order without having to opt for an expensive meal plan. Reported several times but no one cares

Poor development

Extremely frustrating to use this app… no Apple Pay; cant plug into any stored cards. Try and add card in, name field doesn’t highlight… accidentally click the terms and conditions … pop up comes out .. now try going back into the app… honestly really lazy programming .. simple fixes needed!!!

Awful

This app should get a zero star . Everytime i receive otp and try to paste it , it clicks on T&C’s for bank page and you can not go back 4 times i am trying this and unable to charge my kids card .

Payment methods

Apply E- pay like google and apple pay

Payment option is bad

Had to download the app 5 times and still couldnt pay

No cancel preordered meals option.

No option to cancel pre booked meals. I made a mistake and ordered 2 lots of my sons lunches for the same day for a whole week and the app doesn’t let you cancel them

Slow app

The app seems to be glitching. It is slow, takes a long time for screens to load to make transactions.

Unable to scroll down

Unable to scroll down when you have to choose meal options, therefore unable to book and pay

Charging with money

Why I have to recharge minimum with 200 LE??!!!!
Why you take extra fees on charging???
Overall doesn’t worth
