### 1/5 — Crashes after every item scanned

*2026-07-02*

After an item scans the app doesn’t close  but goes into the background. When I go back to it, it says “preparing your shopping trip” and that takes a while. Then it asks me if I want to start a new order or resume. After every single item scan. I keep seeing if there is a new version to fix this. I’ve contacted their customer support. No improvement. And I should add I keep trying the app because the self scan guns in the store are horrible. Also heaven forbid they want to do a quick scan on you when you use the app. Guess what? It doesn’t work, so you have to go and get a self scan gun, which doesn’t work. In this day and age I can’t believe how bad their technology is. Not saving me time or money.

### 3/5 — Glitchy but convenient app

*2026-06-29*

When I first downloaded this app it worked fine as long as the store wifi was good. Several months ago it got glitchy. Every time I scan an item it shuts down & I have to reopen the app, wait till it ask to resume shopping, scan the next item & repeat this process with every item I buy. I have tried removing & downloading it again, all updates are done. This is frustrating & takes me longer in the store. Otherwise I love that I can use an app on my phone rather than the scanning guns in the store. I also love that I can scan & pack my reusable bags as I shop! This is a huge time saver, things are packet as I like & checkout is a breeze!

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2026-06-21, version 25.318.217*

The app crashes after each item scanned. I have to re open, confirm resume order and scan the next item. It also would not accept my pin so I could t pay within the app.

### 1/5 — Frustrating!

*2026-06-20, version 25.318.217*

I hope they fix the bug that makes the ap shut down after EVERY. SINGLE. SCAN. Also not clear how to access the digital wallet for payment purposes. Think I’ll be shelving this ap for a while until it improves.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-06-20, version 25.318.217*

Used to love this app to  scan as I go. Now it shuts down and has to be restarted after each item scanned. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Nice idea poorly executed

*2026-06-12, version 25.318.217*

You would be better off not using this app and utilize the scanning guns in the store instead. It constantly crashes after each scan and if you do make it to the checkout 8 times out of 10 you will get audited which would require you having your physical Stop & Shop card to get audited

### 1/5 — Please fix repeated crashing

*2026-06-08, version 25.318.217*

This is a great replacement when all the hand scanners are charging. But now it crashes every time an item is scanned. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Sucks now

*2026-06-08, version 25.318.217*

This app was great once upon a time. Now it sucks. It crashes after every single scan. It hasn't been updated in 7 months and no new tool. This app was
Why I shopped here. Now I'm going elsewhere... like Hannafords or Market Basket.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-06-06, version 25.318.217*

It crashed every time I scanned something.  Then I’d restart it, wait for it to reconnect, clear a prompt to resume my session, and do it all over again.  Really inexcusably bad.  I only used it because the touch screen on the store device was not working and I really hope I never have to use it again.

### 1/5 — What happened!!

*2026-06-01, version 25.318.217*

Worked great for years, now crashes after 1 scan! Then relaunch resume you shopping and it crashes after the next one. Fix it!
They keep updating the regular Stop and Shop app, why not fix this one!!!
