Intrusive ads after ordering

6of the 25 read24%

App shows ads for unrelated products like gambling and Audible after you complete your order, forcing you to click through them.

“Ads after completing a purchase are a bad look — Its a fine app that i’ve used for years. A recent update added advertisements for third party products that you have to click through after placing an order for food. This needs an opt-out configuration option if you’re going to leave it in the app and gamble sales revenue in the hopes of getting more back in advertising revenue.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Random advertising partners Sep 2026 — App works great but they added random ads that try to sell you completely unrelated things like an Audible membership every time you order. I just want to buy lunch, dude. I don’t want you to try to sell me other random garbage.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Gambling ads after I order — I don’t want to see ads when I order a sandwich. Especially not gambling ads.” — ★☆☆☆☆

“Can’t redeem rewards — I have a lot of rewards and can never use them. The app is awesome. The deliveries are fast and accurate, but the rewards program is absolutely horrible.” — ★★☆☆☆“App doesn’t work — I’ve had this app for a few years and every time I sign on it tells me I don’t have rewards and “oops, can’t retrieve rewards”. I uninstalled it several times but it’s just annoying. Nothing refreshes like reorder or rewards.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Bad options — If I use my points i cat modify the subs and get charged extra for the modifications. It won’t apply the discounts from using points. I don’t like the options as is. Let me modify things.” — ★☆☆☆☆

App is overly complicated to use

3of the 25 read12%

Ordering process is unnecessarily convoluted with confusing menus, promotions, and workflows that make simple orders take too long.

“User friendly — This app sucks it is super complicated and the points system is uber confusing” — ★☆☆☆☆“Too confusing — App and promos are too convoluted and confusing.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Most complicated ordering ever — This review is for the app, unlike everyone else reviewing the food. It’s way too complicated to just place a single order. Refine the app, actually just redo the whole thing. I’d never spend this much time placing an order. Ridiculous.” — ★☆☆☆☆
