What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Minor enhancements.

Recurring themes

App Functionality negative
Many users report significant issues with the app, including inability to log in, create accounts, or redeem rewards. Some find it useless due to lack of customization options for online orders. The developer's note of 'minor enhancements' does not address these core issues, as users still report problems.R19R67R103R114
Food Quality mixed
While many reviews praise the food as delicious, hot, and well-cooked, a significant number report issues such as raw sausages, burnt hash browns, cold food, or items not cooked to request. Some note a decline in quality over time.R1R5R31R66
Customer Service mixed
Service is a recurring theme, with many users highlighting excellent, friendly, and attentive staff. However, a notable portion of reviews describe experiences with rude, inattentive, or overwhelmed servers, long wait times, and poor management interactions.R4R5R7R12
Rewards & Discounts negative
The concept of rewards is popular, but many users struggle to redeem discounts or find offers are not honored by staff. There are complaints about misleading advertising for sign-up bonuses and issues with promo codes.R6R51R64R67

Who it's for

This app is for existing Village Inn customers who frequently dine there and are willing to navigate potential technical issues to earn rewards. It is not for users who prioritize seamless online ordering customization or rely heavily on app-based discounts that may not be honored R103R114R208.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew negative, particularly concerning app functionality and inconsistent restaurant experiences, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a downward trajectory in user satisfaction, especially regarding the app and recent dining experiences.

  11. [R62] 5/5 · US Great food great service easy to use app: Everything was amazing service food and the app was so easy to install and get points right away
  12. [R19] 1/5 · US Terrible app: I have the app but can’t get into it. Every time I put my phone # in to see rewards it tells me that # is already being used!
  13. [R67] 1/5 · US Shady discount advertising: They advertise five dollars off when you download the app, and on the webpage when viewed in mobile, you don’t read any caution that says that you must download the app before you create the account. So if you log into an account with the app, the phone will remember that you ever had an account on that app. So I try to make a new account because they’re fine. Print was
  14. [R169] 1/5 · US App does not work on iPhone SE 2022: App loads on my iPhone SE 2022. I get the Welcome Aboard screen. But there is no button to tap to proceed. Tapping the screen produces no result. Running iOS 17.4.1.
  15. [R223] 3/5 · US Not a user-friendly app: Rewards show none even when you have them and require several steps to redeem.
  16. [R103] 1/5 · US App is awful: What good is the app when it doesn’t let you pick all the options for an order. ie, omelets doesn’t provide the option for country potatoes.
  17. [R114] 1/5 · US Still no way to customize an order: Until this app has a way to customize orders, I’m forced to have to call in. Once that feature is added I will revise my vote but it’s basically unusable for me.
  18. [R14] 1/5 · US Order wrong: Forgot whip cream on pie. Ask for whip cream got none and slice pie was EXPENSIVE .Paid $5. No napkins or forks. Bad idea to order FOR pickup!!!!!
  19. [R31] 1/5 · US Raw breakfast sausages: Not their usual great service, breakfast sausages raw and waited 35 minutes to get our food after ordering. Brought it to the server’s attention and cashier. Manager super busy.
  20. [R66] 3/5 · US Breakfast under new owners: For the most part front staff is wonderful as always. Back of the house however had the quality of food going downhill over the past couple years. Still probably one of the best places to have breakfast in Pueblo. VI quality just seems to be going downhill since Covid.
  21. [R70] 3/5 · US Not impressed: Not impressed. Out of coleslaw at 5pm.
  22. [R92] 1/5 · US Poor customer service: We were seated with no menus so after about 10 minutes of waiting I looked at the hostess from my seat and mouthed silently, can we get menus, and I also used my hands for further sign language open and shut my hands like a book. At that point the hostess very rudely (with a harassed look) yelled you just need to wait or be patient. I’ll be honest I was so thrown by her atti
  23. [R99] 2/5 · US Poor service: The meals were just fine and I’m certain the pies will also be good. It was the very poor service that dropped the restaurant to 2 stars…. and it should be one star. The food came out appropriately, but no follow up . We literally waited what seems like over a half hour +. Nobody came out to check on us(apparently Jessica had taken a break). We finally got our pies to go and a few ap
  24. [R119] 1/5 · US Waitress was terrible: Very rued
  25. [R148] 1/5 · US BYOB offer: At check out after scanning the QR code the host couldn’t get the register to except the offer the VI app did say it was for select entrees but no where on the offer it referred to what entrees were excepted. # rip off
  26. [R208] 2/5 · US Not accepted: My local Village Inn’s receipts have the barcodes for rewards/free food, etc. but when I tried to use my birthday offer, they would not accept it. :(
  27. [R224] 1/5 · US QR Code: I scanned QR code at the entrance of the restaurant to get 3.00 dollars off. The cashier didn’t know how to use it for the discount and gave me a 30 cent senior discount. That was pretty much an insult.
  28. [R118] 2/5 · US Village Inn app support fraudulent: When you click the app’s contact support link it opens an email to Attentive Mobile which replies that it does NOT provide support
  29. [R249] 3/5 · US Can’t get rewards: I get emails saying I’ve got a $10 reward if I enter a promo code, but when I try, I get a message that the code is not valid. Very frustrating and annoying.
