### 2/5 — Wetherspoons phone ban?

*2026-08-18, version 6.9.0*

Ok I’ll delete this app you’ve just released an update for. I’ll unsubscribe from emails and I just won’t use your pub. 
Literally everyone in the country should do the same. 
Do you want any business anymore or you think you’ll survive by banning everyone for using anything technology.  maybe ban people who complain about pub noises. You might find complaints drop 

Removed 2 stars now for this.
you just have 2 stars left. Sort it out

### 3/5 — Temperamental

*2026-08-17, version 6.9.0*

You look at two different pubs and they show exactly same beers. Close app come back later: correct beer is then shown in second pub. 

Tut tut 🤷

### 3/5 — Apple Pay and PayPal

*2026-07-31, version 6.8.0*

Apple Pay always return with ordering error. Bank always declines payment. So I used PayPal. Recently the PayPal option was gone. What happened?

### 3/5 — Spaghetti noodle ramen

*2026-07-26, version 6.8.0*

Felt inspired by all of the other reviews so thought I’d leave my own. Fish and chips was absolutely bangin’. Very crispy and succulent but only the small size available. Such a shame as I needed MORE. But the ramen was abysmal. I believe it is not noodles at all but spaghetti. C’mon now, its  not hard to make that change. Don’t serve anymore starchy soup. Not your finest work on that one Mr. W. Spoons

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2026-06-05, version 6.8.0*

I have used this app many many times but it’s lacking one thing, a comment section because i like certain things cooked differently.  That means i have to queue at bar.

### 3/5 — App needs updating

*2026-05-11, version 6.8.0*

The app needs updating to include an option for how customers would like their eggs cooked with breakfast, for example: runny, medium, or well done. Currently, the standard seems to be runny eggs, which some customers may consider undercooked and unsuitable due to medical, dietary, or personal preferences.

While some people enjoy runny eggs, this does not suit everyone. Adding a simple cooking preference option would improve customer satisfaction, food safety, and accessibility for those with specific dietary needs.

There also appears to be an issue with staff not always listening carefully to customer requests, with some seeming more focused on talking to colleagues than providing attentive service. This could potentially lead to lost sales and repeat customers choosing to go elsewhere.

I’m surprised this feature hasn’t already been added, as it seems like a basic but important improvement for customer experience.

### 2/5 — Pizza not up to usual standard

*2026-04-08, version 6.8.0*

Wetherspoons pizza are usually delicious & very good value for money. (Having said that, not every location has a pizza oven). But our local- Woodrow Wilson,Carlisle today the bases were not cooked through, and we’re not eaten. It was very busy, with only one member of  seen doing all the food - so we didn’t queue up to complain.

### 3/5 — Terrible search for pubs

*2026-03-27, version 6.7.1*

Birmingham only has three, apparently.

### 3/5 — Love the Convenience (When it Works)…

*2026-02-18, version 6.7.1*

Like I said, the convenience is great, but it’s sooo flaky: it hardly ever identifies the pub I’m in, so I have to search for it, it inevitably hangs before taking payment, forcing a restart (at least my items stay in my basket) and — most egregious of all — the constant “We noticed that you may have moved to a different pub” alerts while you’re in the middle of ordering and haven’t moved a centimetre..!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t open app

*2026-02-14, version 6.7.1*

Tried to open app but can’t

### 1/5 — App

*2026-02-03, version 6.7.1*

Why do I get a white screen when trying to use app in a Wetherspoon pub

### 1/5 — Can no longer order

*2025-12-22, version 6.7.1*

It seems that I can no longer order and pay. The whole purpose of the app has been lost. I have uninstalled and logged in again on the fresh install, but to no avail. An email about not being able to use my old email was met with a generic no-response. Very disappointing, as I’ve used the app for several years without any major issues.

### 1/5 — Lana

*2025-12-18, version 6.7.1*

Stopped doing steak and almost everything else on the menu has corrianda

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work any more

*2025-12-14, version 6.7.1*

Since iPhone update, I can not pay for my ordered via Apple Pay or via my bank card. Very annoying!

### 1/5 — App won’t work

*2026-07-29, version 6.8.0*

The app never works , tried multiple times , it’s upto date , but still doesn’t work. After i select pub and table number I get a message saying no menu items , check internet. Never works , tried in multiple pubs

### 1/5 — Anomoly

*2026-07-27, version 6.8.0*

Used the app in a pub in Sheerness but forgot to order something so wanted to change a drink order before ordering but what I didn’t realise it changed my pub to one across the river which I didn’t realise until my order didn’t turn up. Think it may be wise for app to show what pub the order is going to before you get to the pay screen and not allow it to change your location

### 1/5 — Payment fail in app

*2026-07-10, version 6.8.0*

Since Weatherspoon’s have dropped PayPal the Wetherspoon’s app will not complete an order, Apple Pay and debit card not working either, I’ll be dammed if I’m going to manually input my card details every time I make a purchase, nor wait in a queue at the bar to place a food order, Wetherspoon’s need to get their act together or they’ll be loosing a lot of customers

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-06-27, version 6.8.0*

The app was great , but now it never seems to work. Maybe it’s just the Birmingham airport location, but it can never find the pubs despite clearly showing my location on the little map.

### 1/5 — Waiting!!!!!

*2026-06-06, version 6.8.0*

Ordered 2 meals with drinks at the twelve tellers Preston food was over 20 mins and cold and drinks had still not arrived when we had finished our food !
Not what we are used to in our local spoons

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-06-02, version 6.8.0*

Hey sorry team, this app currently won’t open on IOS15, installs just fine but crashes each time I try to open it. Would love to have it working again :)

### 1/5 — Ale Choices Gone Insane

*2026-04-18, version 6.8.0*

This has happened for two days now. Checked a pub’s ales in the morning. Got to the pub. Checked before I went in. Completely different ales. Try again later. Different ales again. And this is in the morning! This has happened with every pub in Liverpool.

### 1/5 — Mr Ray lesurf

*2026-04-08, version 6.8.0*

The ever hart chadwell heath no parking for the disabled there parking for the staff only who can walk but not for parking for the handicapped I feel that is wrong and some thing should be done about this I am 84 grs age and registered disability.it is marked for disabled but told not allowed & move my car they could see I was using 2 walking sticks & could hardly walk.same thing should be done.

### 1/5 — Terribly unreliable

*2026-02-27, version 6.7.1*

Totally unreliable.  Then you go to the bar and the staff are busy chatting.  Had exactly the same issue in the Lake District as in Sittingbourne Kent. Works first time round, then every time subsequently the app doesn’t load after the products are confirmed.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-02-27, version 6.7.1*

App doesn’t work in the Dog Beck, Penrith. Tried multiple times, on multiple devices, over multiple weeks.

Great food and drink very friendly staff and great choices, tables kept clean.

### 5/5 — Saved my marriage

*2026-04-29, version 6.8.0*

My husband used to be completely incompetent and I was on the verge of divorce but after downloading the Wetherspoons app, he leaves the house so much more often and I don’t need to deal with him anymore. Marriage is finally going smoothly.

### 5/5 — Optionally stunning

*2026-04-10, version 6.8.0*

Stunning

### 5/5 — love the puffer

*2025-12-27, version 6.7.1*

Really enjoyed my visit today.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2025-12-17, version 6.7.1*

An easy to use app which reliably delivers reasonably priced food to my table within a few minutes of ordering. What's not to like? PS shout out to Fort William Wetherspoons - friendly restaurant!

### 5/5 — Very Friendly Staff

*2025-12-12, version 6.7.1*

We visited the Quayside in Newcastle recently. On the second floor you have wonderful views of the Tyne. The staff here were so friendly and welcoming. This section has recently just been updated too.

### 5/5 — Beans

*2025-12-11, version 6.7.1*

Top beans!

### 5/5 — Best pub app of all time

*2025-12-05, version 6.7.0*

Very good very good. Only change I want is to see the full menu the pub has even when they’re closed.

### 5/5 — British glory

*2025-12-04, version 6.7.0*

This app fuels my every day, the ability to order my favourite, cheap beverages is a quality no other app can provide. For this reason the Wetherspoon app deserves to held in the hall of fame and its glory should not be ignored. If it wasn’t for Wetherspoon I may well be dead. I love you.
Many regards, Ben
