App Login Doesn’t Work

The app tells me “invalid login credentials,” and I cannot login however the same password and email work on the website. Please fix it.

Error message when logging in

The thing I was most excited about with this app was that I didn’t need to remember my membership card. But the app tells me “invalid log in credentials”. This is after I use the same password & email on the website. Make it make sense.

Won’t recognize login

Can login just fine on the website but app always tells me invalid credentials. Very frustrating.

Keeps saying invalid log in credentials

I was excited to try this as a new member. But it’s not useful when my log in (that works on the website) says it’s invalid.

Please add Apple Wallet Support

The app would be perfect if I could just use this with the Apple wallet. Until then 2 star review.
