### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible

*2026-08-12, version 3.11.29*

This app is such an absolute pain in the butt. It doesn’t work and on the off chance that you’re able to actually log in without it crashing, you can’t do anything and it logs you out and crashes again. Absolutely ridiculous. You’d think they’d fix this garbage, but they won’t. Just as bad as it was 5 years ago.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-08-10, version 3.11.29*

I just downloaded the app and I'm not able to sign up. The page just goes blank. No update needed. I tried to just press login and it sent me to MiBridges but that login didn't work. I don't know what to do.

### 1/5 — DONT EVEN TRY

*2026-08-01, version 3.11.29*

I just got wic, I am a teen mom, and I have no clue why this was insanely hard to do, while based on other reviews people have gotten lucky to be able to login and even scan some items but that’s not the case here, it has never let me login no matter what I did, first time I went shopping I had to sit there and look up in the book and online if something was approved I got items that said they were and weren’t. Based on the reviews and my own, there is absolutely no point in downloading this app, you will waste time and money. I now have to go into the store like a chicken with its head cut off every time I go shop with wic sometimes I think it’s not even worth it because I’m paying for most of the “approved” items anyway.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-09, version 3.11.29*

I tried to download the app to get the barcode scanner to see what is eligible, but I can’t even log in. It continues to tell me I’m not able to access. I tried multiple times and the same thing. Too bad, it would have been a helpful tool.

### 1/5 — Can’t Login

*2026-07-07, version 3.11.29*

I’ve tried to login and sign up but both lead to dead ends.

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2026-06-17, version 3.11.29*

Sign up area is not working. Tried several times and nothing. This is irritating.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2026-06-16, version 3.11.29*

I hate having to go to the external Míchigan website to login every single time. The worst part is the UPC scanner tool doesn’t work. Been like this forever and the developers do nothing about it. Please update the app for face of login also.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-30, version 3.11.29*

It’s such a shame it doesnt work like the WICSHOPPER app on the App Store I wish the state of Michigan could move to WICSHOPPER over this garbage app that doesn’t even work.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-03-02, version 3.11.29*

This app was so helpful but last 6 months I couldn’t use this app it’s not working.

### 1/5 — Loading

*2026-03-01, version 3.11.29*

It takes ages for every page to load
