Payment and Bugs

The payment page and system is inoperable. There are also tons of loading bugs throughout the rest of the app. I won’t be able to purchase any longer if this isn’t fixed.

Can’t pay

Would give zero if I could. I have tried every iteration/version of this app over 15 years and NEVER lets me pay. I always have to call it in and pay in store. Every time I try the app looks different and I get hopeful then when I get to that part NEVER works.

Needs Work

Please add option to add other sides than chips or fries to sandwich/wraps!

Flawed App & Possible Scam

App cannot remember plate pass number despite paying a $5/mo membership. Often forces me to pay full price. App functionality disintegrates when I try and input my plate pass number. Even trying to create a new membership with my order fails AND loses my entire entered order.

Response from developer

We're really sorry for the trouble, a membership issue like this is especially frustrating when you're paying for it monthly. We've released several updates recently with a number of fixes, so please make sure you're on the latest version. In the meantime, try logging out and back into your account as a quick troubleshooting step. If the issue persists, please reach out to us directly at support@urbanplates.com and our team will make sure this gets resolved for you.

App stopped working

App glitched and failed to process the order after I submitted payment. Had to reorder. Deleted the app because I might as well order from the website which works well.

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear this — and we understand it is incredibly frustrating and not the experience we want for our Guests. We've released several updates recently that addressed a number of app issues, and we'd love for you to give it another try. If you ever do, we hope it's a much smoother experience. And if you ever need help, we're always here at support@urbanplates.com.

Gift Card Scam - Still Terrible

Update:
Can now use ONE partial gift card at a time. Additionally, if you’re in store and have the gift card saved to your payment methods. It is impossible to use that to pay. Additionally the App will not display the gift card number for staff to help. If you try to lookup a gift card balance it brings it up in an external site / browser. Well, it tries to. It failed every time I tried.

Beyond this. The app prompts users to accept cookies on EVERY SINGLE NEW PAGE.

I wanted to like urban plates but they consistently fail to support their customers or provide an enjoyable experience.


Original review:
Unable to redeem gift cards if they cannot cover a whole meal. Have a $10 gift card and a credit card on file? Want to use your gift card value up and pay the remainder on your credit card like any sane or competent application? Nope! Urban Plates does not let you do this!

Beyond that the app is clunky and online orders are always serviced poorly in person.

Dealbreaker

This app is UNUSABLE. It’s supposed to save me money through discounts but if it never works, I have zero reason to return to Urban Plates. It’s literally not that hard.

Gift card + CC payment issue

Cannot use gift card to pay partial payment with credit card. This used to work. Now I can only pay full amount with one payment option only. This makes gift card almost useless in app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. This was a known issue with split payments involving gift cards, and we completely understand how frustrating that experience can be. A fix has been rolled out on iOS and Android. In the meantime, please reach out to us at support@urbanplates.com so we can make this right for you.

Great app that makes ordering easy

The app is a must have for Plate Pass members!

they fixed it!!!

they have made this app usable, and that makes me very happy. still no apple pay, but such a massive improvement that i just can’t complain. kudos!

Horrible development team

Really bad developers. Need to redo the whole app

Absolutely Nothing Loads

It’s a mostly white screen and it flashes whenever I click on any options down below but it doesn’t take me anywhere

Zero contact info

Zero contact info. Orders missing things but nowhere to tell them.

Almost totally useless

Consistently slow, frequently won’t let me order at all, distinctly unpleasant to use in the first place.

Cant see menu on app

Terrible app

Horrific UI/UX

It’s a pretty good app if it was made by CEO’s dog in 1999

Slow delivery

For some reason ordering delivery through here for Irvine takes 70 minutes. Not convenient.

I found it, the worst app in the world

I think urban plates doesn’t like money because their app is absolutely useless and it deters people from ordering. Nothing works in this app

worst food app

literally just doesn’t work like ever it’s the most annoying thing ever, slow loading and requires app restart most of the time, takes 5-10 minutes for me to actually get an order in
