### 4/5 — Good app but customer service/support needs help

*2026-07-31, version 10.20.0*

Please add a chat function with drivers order was cancelled because driver couldn’t get in.

### 3/5 — Great, but needs help

*2026-07-21, version 10.19.0*

Certain things like having through credit card management, functionality, and accessibility in viewing and exporting ability for Cash management especially for high-end black car users is sincerely lacking although great efforts on the app overall

### 4/5 — Food great! Service not as good as Checkers.

*2026-07-21*

I am a regular user of the delivery service for both. I use Woolies because I love their food, but the app is simply not as seamless as Checkers. I have also had more items left out of my order. My recommendation is to change the refund process to make it more transparent, and to improve the overall ease of use of the app, like add a “shop my regulars” like Checkers.

**Developer response:** Hi there. Thank you for your honest and constructive feedback. 🤗

### 2/5 — Slow and non-responsive

*2026-07-18, version 10.19.0*

I’m quite surprised but the rating on this app. It’s slow, most likely web views being rendered in an app container / not native which can’t be felt by how long it takes to load, the navigation, etc. You folks are leaving large amounts of money on the table as the 60/60 and PnP apps are much better to use so I buy there instead, and I’m sure there are thousands of other users who do the same. I rather drive to the store than use this app as often because it’s so frustrating to use and has a poor UX.

### 2/5 — Needs an update

*2026-06-28, version 10.18.0*

Search function doesn’t work and today nothing works.

### 1/5 — No longer able to log in

*2026-06-27, version 10.18.0*

Not sure what’s happened to the app, but looks like a blank white screen that doesn’t allow you to log in.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-06-25, version 10.18.0*

Installed and registered, entered the verification code.  Can’t log on to Loyalty or my profile. 
Only get ‘unfortunately something went wrong’. iPhone with latest update.  Sent email to developer. No one answered

### 1/5 — Meeeeehh

*2026-06-18, version 10.18.0*

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.  Sometimes there’s nothing in your shopping “lists” anymore .. not very good

### 1/5 — Loyalty tab not working

*2026-06-15, version 10.17.1*

Downloaded
Woolworths app and loyalty tab is not working at all

### 1/5 — Not able to sign in

*2026-06-12, version 10.6.0*

Same old story. App doesn’t work and yet we are losing our physical rewards cards to this mess. See my previous review below which was clearly not resolved.

Yet again, the app does not work. The sign in does not open and the page is blank. How is 1 supposed to access anything especially when at the till to use rewards/Woolworths card.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-06-10, version 10.17.0*

All we get when trying to log in is a blank screen. iOS 26.5 on iPhone 14. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Cannot login or register

*2026-06-10, version 10.17.0*

The app is no longer working - I cannot sign in or even register a new account. This is disappointing when you are now also changing the rewards cards. I am on iOS 26.5.1 and have tried to delete and reinstall the app but it did not work. I also tried to phone Woolworths but they could not assist. Unacceptable!

### 1/5 — App not working on IOS 18

*2026-06-02, version 10.17.0*

App not working on IOS 18 message oops something went wrong try again later

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish

*2026-06-01, version 10.16.0*

One of the most frustrating apps to use. Search is incredibly slow. Lots of errors. Built by clowns.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-05-29, version 10.16.0*

App crashes everytime I try to checkout and I have to keep adding delivery instructions each time as it never saves

### 1/5 — Don’t download. It keeps crashing!!!

*2026-05-29, version 10.16.0*

Don’t download this!!! This app keeps crashing. I am so sorry that I uploaded this upgrade. I have no access to the app any longer.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-05-27, version 10.16.0*

Recently i cant login as the app just shows a white screen.

### 1/5 — Seriously Lacking

*2026-05-25*

One of the worst user interfaces. Checkers had already showed how simple an online grocery shopping app can be, while still being very useful. Woolies app is full of bugs, glitches, inconsistencies. The gps tracking and updates for your driver is never accurate. There are several reported issues regarding search functions as well. There is also a recurring glitch with adding items to one’s cart. Recently, I want even able to log into the app. I’ve no doubt the Woolies team is trying to fix these issues, it just seems that currently a will functioning app is not a top priority

### 1/5 — App won’t login

*2026-05-20, version 10.16.0*

Latest app May 2026 won’t login. Goes to white screen.

### 1/5 — White screen on signin

### 1/5 — Blank white page

*2026-07-29, version 10.20.0*

Can’t even get to the login screen. Goes to blank white page. Issues still not resolved.

### 1/5 — Rewards Program

*2026-07-17, version 10.19.0*

New program is socking poor and offers no real value.  Think I will return shopping at Checkers

### 1/5 — White screen of death

*2026-07-15*

App is just unusable and I see I’m not the only person. If you look to digitise your services at least have a functioning app. When going to log in or sign in you are met with a white screen that never loads anything and gives 0 feedback. No point in trying to redownload or clear cache because that won’t work. Horrid app. And they tell you to contact an email when there’s an issue but that email is never replying to you

**Developer response:** Hi there. We're sorry about the frustrating experience. Please share your sign-in email address, cell phone number and details about the issue, including any errors, with appfeedback@woolworths.co.za. Our team will look into the issue.

### 1/5 — Sign in …….

Impossible to get through to support; still haven’t been able to activate my account

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-07-06, version 10.19.0*

I haven’t been able to buy on the app in over a year I intermittently attempt to use the app but it either keeps logging me out as I add to the basket or it gives an error unfortunately something has gone wrong  please try again later when I go to check out. It’s incredibly infuriating. You must be losing so many sales. I have deleted app updated app and even changed phones. Nothing fixes it.

### 1/5 — New update broken

*2026-07-04, version 10.19.0*

Can’t sign in, just a blank page. Reinstall didn’t help. This app wasn’t good and now it’s just broken.

### 5/5 — App No Longer Works

*2026-05-29, version 10.16.0*

Can’t sign in. Just a blank screen when I try. I’m on iOS 26.4.2

But wow! Developer got in touch with me just days after my bad review. So this is a well-deserved update to my initial low-scoring message. Wish everybody was as responsive as the Woolworths team.

### 5/5 — App is continually unresponsive

*2026-03-16, version 10.12.0*

App only works one in 5 times
I can’t depend on it
It should work 100% of the time
Some exceptions I understand
But this thing can’t even search and then i have to get in a car in any case

You can do better, do it

### 5/5 — WeRewards

*2025-09-01, version 10.3.0*

Been battling months for my app to be sorted out with an error after they changed over from old rewards!!!!!! Still not resolved and it’s been 3 months

### 5/5 — The new Woolies app

*2025-08-23*

I've had issues since inception.
Today at Tygervalley coffee shop, I was unable to use my free coffees. The staff could not activate them. This is not the first time this has happened. Now they are expiring.
Sorry but this was not tried out properly before launching.
And I'm not alone in this.
