### 4/5 — Not bad, but navigation still poor.

*2026-07-24, version 16.0.7*

Biggest single issue is finding and managing the grocery list. Whereas it you to just delete after you’d spent time curating the list in preparation for a trip to the store, now it doesn’t delete but requires real effort to retrieve the list. Hard to find. Needs a simple, visible button for one swipe access. Otherwise a pretty good app. Far better on iPad or other large screen than a cellphone. Needed dark mode to make it easier to read. Fix the shopping list conundrum and the app becomes competitive.

### 1/5 — Took me 5 attempts to order a sushi platter

*2026-05-24, version 16.0.3*

And none of them were successful

### 1/5 — Useless Now

*2026-05-17, version 16.0.2*

The app has been updated, and it’s useless now. You can’t even see the daily specials anymore. Do they still have them? Also, it’s completely pointless to sign up for the rewards because you don’t get any. Been signed up for a year, and I don’t have a single point. Why even have a program? I thin done shopping here. It’s too expensive, anyway.

### 1/5 — Horrible overhaul and update of a perfectly functional app

*2026-05-13, version 16.0.2*

Recently overhauled app is now unusable. Where before it was sometimes glitchy, the app has become unnavigable. I don't even have a cart attached to the cart icon- just a shopping list. A shopping list that I have to press three separate icons/places on the screen to be able to delete an item. What a stupid update. I just want to be able to add items to my cart and use that cart as my list as before. I've been stuck using the Fresh Market cart on the  Instacart app of  all things.

### 1/5 — Broke a good thing

*2026-05-07, version 16.0.2*

It’s been weeks now and the Shop function still isn’t working… Also, it’s a pain not to be able to stay loggid in.  Old app worked fine.

### 2/5 — Update is awful

*2026-05-02, version 16.0.1*

Extremely confusing layout after the update, not easy to navigate or find what I need to find. Feels way more busy and chaotic. Even something as simple as viewing past orders takes way too many taps to achieve. And from my understanding, it’s the only way you can mark that you’re on the way for pickup.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-04-29, version 16.0.1*

Used to like checking the app before going shopping. 

But now so broken

Says login, doesn’t like my login. Says reset password, get email, sends me to website, reset password. App still doesn’t like my login. I quit for the night. Try again today, says I’m suspicious and they blocked my account. Get email to unblock, goes to website but wants to open app that won’t open. 

Can you just revert to the version that worked?

### 1/5 — App has become unusable

*2026-04-26, version 16.0.1*

Since the Auth0 update and new UI was introduced. The customer experience has been completely ruined.

I literally can’t shop on the app anymore it’s so hard to navigate and forces logins all the time

### 1/5 — App changes stink

*2026-04-26, version 16.0.1*

The app is a mess. I login and it says “success!” I hit “next” and the page that comes up wants me to create an account. ???
So I played along and filled out my account information and when I clicked on “next” again it said “that account information is already in use. “. DUH in use by me. 
Long story short. I can’t log into FM via the app. I love you fresh market but the changes you are made are frustrating and less than worthless!!

### 4/5 — Order history is missing

*2026-04-24, version 16.0.1*

I have loved this app, and use it for my online grocery shopping and have my groceries delivered, but I noticed with the new update order history is missing, that is where I would look up my grocery receipt.

### 1/5 — Update ruined it

*2026-04-21, version 16.0.1*

Deleted the app, after the update It’s literally become a chaotic mess and slop compared to the easy and friendly user interface we had before!

### 1/5 — Login Bugs

*2026-04-04, version 15.2.0*

Constant loop of resetting password, telling me to put in a 6 digit code, telling me the code was expired when I put in within the minute, crazy. Ordered target food instead.

### 3/5 — Bad experience at checkout

*2026-03-02, version 15.2.0*

Almost every single time, the clerks ring the wrong amount, never in my favor.
Either they have a minimal training or the cash registers are not well calibrated and then, it is more worrisome, like a concerted effort to cheat the customers.
Example: every Wednesday, the promo is 2 packs of croissants for the price of one.
I know that. Why don’t they?
They ring it wrong, same with fruit by the piece.
I have complained many times, been refunded the difference but…
I have talked to the manager too but sorry does not cut it.
I will save the receipts from now on

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-02-07, version 15.0.0*

App opens but doesn’t get past 1st page.

### 1/5 — Updates ended my shopping

*2026-01-22, version 14.98.0*

Ever since the app update about a year ago, I can’t shop. I used to place a weekly order, now when I try it puts me into this loop where I fill my basket, then it asks me to sign in, then it opens a new browser and my basket is empty. I fill it, it asks me to sign in, and repeat…again and again. I give up!

### 3/5 — Not terribly useful…

*2025-11-15, version 14.92.1*

While it’s a nice idea, this app is not especially useful except to remind you to get your free birthday cake slice each year. When I buy my Thanksgiving catering does the bar code for pickup show up in my app? No. So silly. Back to the drawing board, guys.

### 1/5 — No shopping cart in app

*2025-10-24, version 14.86.0*

I have been a customer for about a year, and recently, when I attempted to place another order, there has not been a shopping cart, which is usually located in the top right corner of the app, only a shopping list with no option to transfer the items to the cart.  No help option in the app, either. What is going on, Fresh Market?  Do you no longer serve senior citizens?

### 1/5 — Shopping is broken

*2026-07-24, version 16.0.7*

The Fresh Market App version 16.0.7 does not work. At least the primary functionality of being able to shop is broken.

When I try to Shop or look at my Order History the app just throws an error message “something went wrong while loading the shop”. This has been going on since I installed the app on my iPhone 13 with iOS 26.5.2.

### 1/5 — Unhappy Customer

*2026-07-12, version 16.0.5*

This is the worse update you did to the app. The older app was much more easier to use. This new update i log in and it keeps bringing me back to fill in my name and phone number over and over again.  Due to the aggravation I have been going through with your app, I found it necessary to delete the app totally. I am not going to sit for hours signing in over and over again. There are other stores to shop in. This is the worse of the worse app I have encountered.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-07-12, version 16.0.5*

Was ok before latest major upgrade. I still think to look if you have what I want, but logging in is impossible, so I just shop elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Horrible update!

*2026-07-03, version 16.0.5*

The revised app is so slow and glitchy that it is basically impossible to use. I don’t know how they managed to take a perfectly simple and functional app and turn it into such a disaster. I have actually stopped shopping at Fresh Market because this app is so frustratingly slow and glitchy.

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2026-06-23, version 16.0.5*

I usually don’t go to fresh market unless Kroger’s is out of something or I need something unique but they’re forcing me to login if I get logged out of my app for some reason just to see if they carry something that’s annoying

### 1/5 — Love the store. Hate the app.

*2026-06-19, version 16.0.5*

This recent update has made me begin to shop at different stores. 
It’s beyond frustrating to complete my shopping, taking four times the amount of time that it used to. 
It glitched frequently before. 
But now it’s taking forever to refresh. When I look at an item, then go back to where I was scrolling it puts me back at the top of the page. 
There’s no intuitive navigation. 

I don’t know what yall did. Props for at least attempting to improve I guess? 
But whoever built this new app needs to give you a refund because this is embarrassing.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-06-18, version 16.0.5*

Can no longer use the app for anything. I have updated and redownloaded the app but that did not help. The shop option does not work.

### 1/5 — Worthless App

*2026-06-10, version 16.0.4*

The recent change has rendered this app completely useless. I tried shopping today with The Fresh Market. It takes too long to open and will not refresh within an appropriate amount of time. It was great prior to this update. The shopping cart no longer appears at the bottom of the app. You can no longer communicate in the app directly with the shopper. This was super convenient before the change. They direct you to Instacart. I will not be shopping or using this app any longer. It is completely worthless. It's too bad, because I really love this store. I don't want an account with Instacart, so I will have to shop somewhere else. It deserve less than one star.

### 1/5 — Awful update

*2026-06-08, version 16.0.4*

I am a former systems designer and can’t believe this update was installed. Did no one actually try it out? I can’t view items from my local store without signing up for a delivery service? Where’s the Search option? Revert to previous version asap. Doesn’t deserve the one star I’m required to tap

### 1/5 — Login doesn’t work

*2026-06-04, version 16.0.4*

Malfunction! Don’t see a reason to keep broken app. It is looping through the login process and doesn’t let to access. Multiple issues seem to be reported since April.

### 5/5 — The Fresh Market Rewards Program

*2026-08-12, version 16.0.8*

Let me start by mentioning the top notch cashier crew. Always kind, smiling, courteous and very helpful. Last week, my cashier, Hope, mentioned a great deal on Wednesdays through The Fresh Market program where if you buy six bottles of wine, you get a 20% discount as well as a lovely wine bag. The Fresh Market rewards program is absolutely stellar. I’m probably in there three or four times a week to take advantage of the excellent daily deals. Their rotisserie chicken, pizzas, fresh meats are always top quality and tasty. You cannot beat the prices and the rewards that they give you on top of it. I highly recommend signing up for the app and rewards program 👍

### 5/5 — A gem of an app

*2026-06-23, version 16.0.5*

I love how fun and inspiring this app is! It’s intuitive to navigate, easy to shop, and simple to earn rewards all in one place. With daily and weekly content updates, there’s always something new to explore.

### 5/5 — Even Better

*2026-06-17, version 16.0.5*

I love the updated app. I’m able to see what is on offer for members and claim rewards easily. Also love the videos. Can still shop for delivery but so many more reasons to open it.

### 5/5 — First Time an app gave me the same experience online and in store

*2024-08-18, version 14.22.1*

The creator of this app understands exactly why people choose to grocery shop in Fresh Market. It’s clean, organized, great recommendations for generic search words. I will always be fine to pay more at Fresh Market for these types of experiences. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great service

*2024-05-07, version 14.14.0*

I love the daily specials and the wonderful service. Know that you are deepest appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

### 5/5 — Customer service

*2024-04-06, version 14.10.1*

This store is absolutely exceptional there has never been a time they dont go well and beyond to assist people. I would recommend this store for freshness, quality, and how helpful customer service is.

### 5/5 — Easter Dinner

*2024-04-02, version 13.27.0*

Are you kidding? This was amazing. I’m not sure how they do it because we had so much food for $64 and you can’t do that well by going out and buying the food yourself and preparing it excellent dinner and so easy.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2021-10-10*

High quality, nutritious food.  Great selection.  Excellent, caring customer service.  Love, love, love Fresh Market and the staff at the Sutton Square location in Raleigh.  They have been a life saver with the online ordering and contactless pickup for those of us in a high risk household during the pandemic.  Don’t know what we would have done without them since March 2020.  Their online ordering with the app and curbside pick is perfect.  Simply the best in North Raleigh!!!   Thank you to the staff at the North Raleigh location.

### 5/5 — Our Favorite

*2021-08-24, version 4.0.0*

Fresh Market is our favorite grocery store. Then with baby #3 and COVID the app and grocery pickup came just in time! Easy, convenient, time saving and budget friendly! Plus Mrs. Jerry shops for me every time she can- she is the best!!!

### 5/5 — Great customer service & clean store

*2021-07-26, version 4.0.0*

The store is always sparkling clean. The selection of items is pretty good. Price at times for somethings can be high. Excellent customer service in bakery, Sushi and meats department all in all we love the San Jose location Fresh Market.
