### 2/5 — Card Safety

*2023-05-23, version 2.48*

I downloaded this because the restaurant I ordered from didn’t provide an ETA. My card information was stolen within 3 days of ordering. The amount charged was not even similar to the amount I had purchased. The app itself is slow, and my order wouldn’t send through for more than 10 minutes. Save yourself some time and just call the restaurant.

### 2/5 — Too many issues

*2021-06-06, version 2.34*

We have had several instances with SWIPEBY where restaurants that we know to be open, show as being closed for orders on SWIPEBY, or an order that we placed through SWIPEBY was not placed correctly at the restaurant and we had to get a refund. When it works, it is good, but when it doesn’t it is a pain especially when you have hungry kids in the car. Better to just call the restaurant directly!

### 3/5 — Very limited selections

*2021-03-29, version 2.33*

I downloaded the app for one nearby restaurant. The experience using the app was ok. Still end up calling the restaurant to get my food while I waited in my car. I feel like the restaurant can just do curbside pick up simply without using this app. Another downside is that, the app lists only 3 restaurants near me in a very populated city.

### 2/5 — Orders wrong several times

*2020-07-13, version 2.16*

The restaurant where I used this app to order said that the app is very glitchy on their end.  My order was wrong 3 times within a couple months.  Each time, when I got to the restaurant, I had to wait for them to prepare new food to fix it.  I will not be using this app again.

### 2/5 — Filters, Favorite Restaurants or Map needed

*2020-05-16, version 2.12*

I only want to see restaurants in my current location rather than throughout the state.  Since the restaurants do not appear to be in any particular order, it is difficult to find the few restaurants that are participating in my area.

### 1/5 — Promo code

*2020-04-11, version 2.9*

I gave my promo code to 2 of my friends to start using this app. But that could not use the offer.

### 2/5 — App is great, however...

*2020-04-03, version 2.8*

The last two orders I placed using the app did not go through to the restaurant until I went to go pick them up. So basically I had to place my order at the restaurant which defeats the purpose of the app. The app is great in concept.

### 2/5 — Map Overview Needed

*2020-04-03, version 2.8*

Map view needed to get a quick overview of nearby restaurants on the service.

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2020-02-26, version 2.6*

I downloaded this app because I thought it would be a great convenience to be able to pick up food from local restaurants without getting out of my car or adding a fee.  Well, as it turns out, there are only 12 restaurants in my whole city to order from and a few still require you to go inside to get your food. Personally, I’d rather pay a fee and help employ someone from an app like Door Dash, Postmates, GrubHub or Uber Eats to get food from ANY restaurant delivered to my home. Not a big convenience as I was led to believe and I really don’t see myself using this app at all.

### 5/5 — Makes my life easier

*2020-02-03, version 2.5*

I don’t want to order for delivery but I don’t want to eat in. Finally, an app for me!

### 1/5 — User UNFRIENDLY /Doesn’t work

*2022-10-18, version 2.47*

So far, SwipeBY is the most frustrating app I’ve ever tried to use. I’m giving it one star because I like the idea of it and it’s a small local company that my small local coffee shop is part of and am hopeful they can resolve the user UNFRIENDLINESS. 

When I tried to send a message for support the screen set up is such that you cannot click submit. And while you’re typing in your comments, the screen set up is such that you can’t even see what you’re typing. 

So now I can’t even get in touch with them. This review will stay up until the issue has been resolved. Good luck, SwipeBY, I am rooting for you!☀️

### 1/5 — Didn’t pay the restaurant

*2022-01-02, version 2.36*

The restaurant we regularly ordered from over SWIPEBY informed us that they hadn’t been paid for the orders customers placed over the app and they have been unable to contact or hear back from the company about when they will be paid. They said they lost a lot of money. I feel terrible because this is a small local business we were frequenting during the pandemic, and to hear that they hadn’t actually been paid for the orders we’ve been placing is terrible. We will never order over SWIPEBY again.

### 1/5 — Tried to order

*2021-04-03, version 2.33*

Tried to order instead of using DoorDash. Sure I’d have to pick it up but at least it was going to be quicker since it was a busy time of night. Unfortunately the app was unbearably slow. Every time you entered the app, tapped an item, or added to cart it hung on “receiving data” for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute each. Also when it I went to the cart after waiting all that time to adding the items into the cart turns out the cart was empty. 

Closed the app and went back to doordash.

### 1/5 — Nothing in the Minneapolis area :-(

*2020-08-15, version 2.18*

I downloaded the app but nothing came up in the search for my area. Let me know if you have anything in the Twin Cities region!

### 1/5 — Unusable app

*2020-07-23, version 2.16*

Downloaded swipeby for one purpose only: order curbside pickup from my favorite restaurant. Very disappointing the app just crashes when I try to place the order.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2020-05-25, version 2.13*

Do not download. This doesn’t work. I used this app for curbside service in Philadelphia during the coronavirus - traveled with my pregnant wife 30 miles to pick up cheesesteak. Once I arrived the restaurant claimed they had no record of the order and demanded we get out of the car to show our phone receipt. We had paid and included a tip. We reached out to the owner of the app later who apologized and said he would look into it, never did, after multiple emails. We asked for a refund, never got it. Horrible app. DO NOT USE.

### 1/5 — App crashes at check out

*2020-05-22, version 2.13*

The app crashes on both my phone when I try to place the order

### 1/5 — Restaurants removed

*2020-05-10, version 2.12*

We used the app on Mother’s Day to order dinner at the restaurant listed. The order went through and we received an order number and receipt. We show up at the restaurant and they said they no longer were part of the app. This needs to be resolved ASAP as we now need to fight to get our money back from SWIPEBY that was over $100.

### 1/5 — Tried it once, now deleting

*2020-05-08, version 2.12*

Tried it for the first time tonight. Kept glitching and then I kept getting an error that “an item wasn’t available at this time” however it doesn’t say which item. I reviewed my bag and everything was messed up. It moved my options for a burger onto the spinach salad. Medium-well spinach? Gave up and called the restaurant and everything we wanted was available. Won’t try this again. It’s just too time consuming and frustrating. I wish I had known before I put my payment info in.

### 1/5 — Never received confirmation email

*2020-04-23, version 2.10*

Unless app. Never received confirmation email to set up account. My daughter got hers after 2 weeks

### 5/5 — Amazing user experience with the virtual drive thru

*2022-07-28, version 2.45*

I did nit even have to get out of the car or call
The restaurant! Got the food delivered to my car smoothly. I have also ordered delivery and the fees were very low compare with Uber Eats

### 5/5 — Terrific app and flawless back-end fulfillment

*2020-11-13, version 2.23*

I’ve been using this app/service for a few months and can highly recommend it.  The app is simple to use; it stores your credit card info, preferred vehicle for pickups and favorite meals at restaurants.  But that would all be for naught if the restaurant fulfillment did not match the promise of the app.  Thankfully, it’s a seamless system.  Kudos to the developers!

### 5/5 — The best food delivery app

*2020-07-06, version 2.16*

The easiest way to get the food we love from the places we love.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-05-28, version 2.13*

I’m a big fan of SWIPEBY! As a mother, it has saved me so much time. The food is ready, there is a designated pick up spot reducing confusion, the menus have gotten increasingly easier to navigate, AND I don’t have to get anyone out of the car to collect my food! It means I can chose healthier options and not just fast food. Highly recommend. Also, obscenely good customer service/feedback from developer

### 5/5 — Love Having a Place for Notes

*2020-05-22, version 2.13*

I really like this app-having a place to put notes is critical for me in an online order. Mine was completely correct when I picked it up.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2020-04-19, version 2.10*

Straightforward design and easy to use. Really helps save time at my favorite restaurant. After a great trail walk, I order on the app, pull up curbside in the designated parking spot and my order is brought out to my car. So convenient! Perfect for being mindful of COVID rules too.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-04-11, version 2.9*

I used it for the first time yesterday and it was easy to use and understand. We just need more local restaurants to get on board. Will use again.

### 5/5 — Cannot delete or update credit card info

*2020-04-10, version 2.9*

Please make it to where this info can be deleted. You let me delete my car so why not my payment info?

### 5/5 — Great time saver

*2020-04-05, version 2.8*

I was reluctant to add another app to my phone. I never write reviews, but have to say my first experience was great. I drove up to the restaurant and a server was walking out with my order. There was a line of cars waiting  in front of me, but apparently they had called their orders in. I would love to see more restaurants added to this!

### 5/5 — Less to worry about!

*2020-02-03, version 2.5*

I can actually walk out in pajamas now and get food without having to worry about what I’m wearing in my small town. 
Finally less things to worry about! 
Thanks SWIPEBY!
