### 1/5 — Bad app

*2023-06-22, version 17.5*

Dosent have all the items on the app. The search by category system is broken. Finally you can no longer scan QR codes ur device has to be scanned.

### 1/5 — Poor UI and UX

*2022-11-30, version 16.2*

Such a poor user experience. Seems like no user testing was done whatsoever

### 1/5 — Stop it

*2022-11-17*

Stop asking me to review after every minor interaction with the app. If the user selects “no thanks”, STOP asking then to review the app. If they select “remind me later”, ask again maybe next time the app is run, not after the very next interaction with the app that session. It’s annoying. REALLY annoying. Stop it please.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for your suggestion. Please note we are looking into a solution and if you have any further issues please feel free to contact us on support@taptuck.co.za so we can resolve them ASAP for you.

*2022-04-06, version 12.1*

1 month on from your last update and I can’t use it because my phone won’t support iOS 15

### 1/5 — Failure to login into my account

I’m failing to login into my TapTuck account, it’s says I must upgrade to a new version, I tried and also failed

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2022-04-04, version 10.8*

How can a card with money on not work at the tuck-shop because of an update that is dragging on?

### 1/5 — There’s no option to update it just says open so that’s useless

*2022-04-04, version 10.8*

I’d rather delete app it won’t update it just opens to old version we have better things to do honestly

### 1/5 — Can’t use at all now

*2022-04-04, version 10.8*

I haven’t been able to update the app, re-installed it a few times and it’s still an old version, so not able to place order, please sort this out!

*2022-04-04, version 10.8*

New version unavailable, app not working

### 1/5 — App not working

*2022-04-03, version 10.8*

App needed to be updated but it seems to not be working. I have deleted & reinstalled it, updated apple software etc and am still unable to access in order to place kids lunch orders

### 1/5 — No show

*2022-04-03, version 10.8*

There was supposed to be a new version of the app launched today 03/04/22. The old app doesn’t work anymore, yet there is nothing of the promised new shiny version in the app store either…Annoying!

### 1/5 — No OTP

### 1/5 — Review

*2025-10-17, version 34.3*

If your child is sick or unable to collect an order, you do not get refunded and the order will not be made up at another time. I have a special needs child who is sick a lot and have hence lost hundreds due to him not being able to redeem his order or be refunded.

### 1/5 — Good app but very buggy as of late

*2025-08-20, version 31.1*

This app was initially very good but as of late it freezes. You cannot navigate out side the loading page. You cannot remove old account

### 1/5 — Please get basics right

*2025-05-26, version 28.3*

Hi there 

Start with password validation. Check if the validation coded out matches the copy/instruction for user. 

Then enable virtual cards. This is vital for app user safety. If the password validation was wrong it’s hard to trust the security of banking cards in the app. 
Thanks.

### 1/5 — Worst Customer Support

*2025-05-08, version 28.3*

Since the update The app has locked me out of the app and when I try and use the forgot password option it says my number is not recognized and there is no options to use my email address for forgotten password. I have emailed support multiple times and called your helpline but no one has replied to my email and no one answers your helpline. There is STILL money on my  app and I cannot order my child lunch! Can someone please get back to me!!!!

### 1/5 — Random unaccounted for deductions

*2025-04-11, version 28.1*

There’s zero transparency about transaction fees, no transaction history. Money gets taken off my kids’ balances randomly.  This app is pretty scammy.

### 1/5 — Terrible and Dark UX

*2024-08-30, version 24.9*

A top-up process that has been designed to encourage you to keep lazy balance is very sneaky. There are hidden fees for a top up and the fees for a transaction are very high.

### 1/5 — App not working properly

*2024-05-16, version 23.9*

Please assist, I have been struggling to make an order for my son. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. The app doesn’t allow me to get to the order tab. Therefore I cannot order. This app is not compatible with iPhone 7

### 1/5 — Unable to do anything since updat

*2024-04-30, version 23.8*

Iphone 7
I have been unable to do anything on the app si ce the update on 25th April.

I have deleted it and logged in and out but still same issues.
Chatted with the consultant on26th but she could not help.
I cannot load payments, order or see any transactions on the app.
Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work ?

*2023-10-09, version 18.3*

Seems like a great idea however it doesn’t send an OTP.  Perhaps an email verification as a secondary option would be a good idea. Pity

### 1/5 — Bad user experience

*2023-09-15, version 18.3*

I’m trying to load money in my wallet and it is throwing an error without telling me what the problem is. I’ve tried loading a new card and the same error pop up without any text pops up.

### 5/5 — Epic

*2021-07-29, version 9.9*

…. It’s epic

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-11-12, version 4.6*

So easy and efficient!
Makes school lunch and ordering a breeze!

### 5/5 — Wow. What a great experience!!!!!

*2020-11-12, version 4.6*

What a pleasure to do a review on a very fine and functional system.
From day start and the enquiry on a LOT of questions we were handled with extreme professionalism. Julene, our Tap Tuck agent, was on top of every question and could answer our every need we had. We can vouch on excellent service delivery, fast responses and product delivery that is even better than we expected. 
We had several requests to modify the system for our specific needs and experience, and without delay it was implemented if possible. 
 The Tap Tuck system has enabled us to provide food parcels for up to 200 children in a time frame of 8 minutes. 
Over the counter sales have become quick and efficient due to the "scan to pay" option and replaces the need for using cash or bank cards.
 
The system has enabled us to have an extensive menu due to the pre-ordering system which enables us to do efficient planning and preparing of fresh food.
We highly recommend the Tap Tuck system to any business and more specifically tuck shops and school cafeterias. WE LOVE TAP TUCK

### 3/5 — Dispute

*2023-09-13, version 18.3*

This is a great app to use but could be better as there is no complaints or dispute section. Products are redeemed whereas products weren’t given to the customer. Therefore, there should be another way to communicate this to them. App is convenient.

### 3/5 — Great app - needs more functionality

*2023-04-12, version 17.2*

Really useful app. Great tool for a parent. Just frustrating that your checkout basket is completely lost and has to be redone if you need to top up funds. And most products don’t have pictures which is hard for the little guys to imagine what they want. But otherwise, works a charm!

### 2/5 — Painful to use

*2025-02-09, version 24.9*

Too many clicks to transact when you have multiple kids in same school. 
Don’t like the separate wallet function . If funds are insufficient then you have to top up. But that cancels out your cart and you have to start from fresh all again. 
Will rather push the canteen to use karri app. Its more simplistic and ties into other school payments

### 2/5 — Worked well before the update

*2024-11-07, version 24.9*

Card functionality stopped working after the latest update which makes this app a hassle to use now. Have to enter your card details in every time you want to top up. The developers responded the first time when I alerted them and gave me a fix which didn’t work and have not gotten back to me again since.

### 2/5 — Great idea!

*2023-03-29, version 17.2*

Would be great if one could see which child order is placed for.  Also, a single checkout for both breaks would be great.

### 2/5 — Upgrade not available

*2022-04-04, version 10.8*

I cannot get into the app as it is telling me to upgrade. However, there is no way to upgrade. I have version 10.8 and that is the latest version on the store. Please help!

### 2/5 — Thanks but no

*2019-01-10, version 3.1.6*

Thanks for fixing the problem but now another comes along.i completed the application 10 times and it won’t let me add a kid . It lets me log in but not add a kid. I’m losing my patience with this app.
