- [R1] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery The app is bugging: It wouldn’t give me my welcome reward and I’m new to the app never used it
- [R2] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery iOS interface overhaul: I love Taco Bell. I have unironically spent thousands of dollars on Taco Bell over the last 10 years. I have never had any sort of issue ordering and/or picking up my food. *THAT BEING SAID* I feel the layout of the iOS app needs to be changed because me and my girlfriend keep exiting out of our orders instead of adding them to the bag. I know this sounds silly but I promis
- [R7] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery App is broken: App does not work in any capacity
- [R18] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery so many issues: love the taco bell app because i can pre order online exclusives… except it doesn’t work half the time. I get constant “this item isn’t available” and “uh-oh! something went wrong” constantly. the app has bugs. please don’t make things online exclusive if the app doesn’t work! 50% of the time i have to just go to the restaurant and order anyway after trying to order through the app
- [R9] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery .: It was good at first but now everytime I use it it just says that “there’s a hiccup in progressing your payment”
- [R19] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Hiccup processing payment: Haven’t been able to actually place an order for maybe a year now? Used to work fine, but has decided it doesn’t want to process an order. Have tried at various locations and reinstalled the app to no avail. Fix yo app
- [R24] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Useless: The app hardly works. I’ve had to go in and erase my payment that’s been used many times and re enter it for it to take my order. This has been my experience almost every single time I use this app.
- [R30] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Horrible: Takes the money but then will tell me there was a hiccup. How is there a hiccup when the money was taken?
- [R3] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Fix app location tracking: The app should prioritize and remind the user what location to drive to and suggest the closer location. Currently the location just keeps the last location used. I will change my review to 5 stars once this is fixed.
- [R21] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Needs Location Confirmation Prompt: The app is easy to use and offers specials you cannot get in the store. The one irritating thing is that it saves the last location you ordered from and even when you are 30+ miles from that location it assumes you want to order from that store. The app needs to confirm that you want to order from a store away from your current location - like so many other fast
- [R27] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Constant Mobile Order Issues: There are constant issues using this app. Staff members forget items in orders and there is zero way to refund the forgotten items. You could be in a Taco Bell parking lot and the app will select a different Taco Bell across the city from you. Then staff members are rude when they don’t have your order. This app is the biggest waste of time and money.
- [R33] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Extremely difficult to use when traveling: This app does not do a good job of helping you find the Taco Bell that you're probably sitting in their parking lot of, when traveling It's very easy to order at the wrong Taco Bell Difficult to find the Taco Bell because even with precise location turned on in your settings you could be sitting in the parking lot of a Taco Bell and it might tell you th
- [R6] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery High prices and no deals. TRASH: The app is decent enough but Taco Bell has the worst “deals” and rewards in the fast food game. Very rarely is there any deals and stuff. Cheesy Gordita churn h price has went up $1 in a year. TERRIBLE!!
- [R28] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Worse and worse: This app just gets worse every update. The devs really want to do stuff so they are breaking the app. On top of Taco Bell no longer being cheap.
- [R36] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery This app never works: Every time I go to Taco Bell I try to make an online order. Every time it charges me a pending charge and doesn’t place the order. Every single time I use this app, the same thing happens and I end up having to go inside to make the order anyway, while waiting 30 minutes minimum to receive the money back. Also the rewards from points suck
- [R12] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Good until updates: They need to stop logging me out. Most aggravating thing with this app. Your login sucks, doesn’t work half the time. Stop logging me out and let me use the app as usual. Besides that works great.
- [R15] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Constantly crashes: Always crashes. ZERO customer support for messed up orders, failed deliveries, or gift card issues.
- [R16] Taco Bell Fast Food & Delivery Now need an update every hour-another day, another update. 2 hours to download.: Here we go again, Another day, another update. Two hour process anytime you want to place an order. It’s been a whole day. Time for another update that takes 2 hours to download!!’Needs almost hourly updates. Why can’t you get it right?
- [R51] DoorDash don't waste your time or money: this app sucks, fees are to high and customer service is really poor.
- [R52] DoorDash The best food drop off: They are amazing great delivery if you have a problem they will refund you credits for the app or you can just get refund for the cash you paid for the food if there is a problem!
- [R54] DoorDash I paid extra: I paid extra to get it early and it came LATER than the original time would’ve been BEFORE i paid. Never use this app, Uber Eats is better.
- [R55] DoorDash Too easy: Ordering door dash is so easy it’s somewhat addicting. It’s a life saver when you don’t have a vehicle or cannot drive or just have better things to do. Plus I use it to see what restaurants are around me if I’m not sure. But beware: you will find yourself ordering it more and more often, even when you could get it yourself. ITS JUST SO EASY AND CONVENIENT
- [R65] McDonald's App sucks: Takes WAYYYY too long to load anything at all I’ll miss out on certain things
- [R66] McDonald's Simple and Quick: Love how easy it is to place an order accurately, just wish it didn’t log me out every time I exit the app.
- [R67] McDonald's Not for delivery: If you want delivery it’s much safer to order through one of those apps (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.) directly so if anything is wrong with your order you can have it quickly fixed. McDonald’s app just gives you the 1-800 number for the delivery app.
- [R69] McDonald's The app is way too slow.: This a multi million dollar company and tell me why it’s a genuine PAIN to place a mobile order through this app. With all the money this corporation makes they should be able to improve the quality of their app, LET ALONE the quality of their food and raising prices. McDonald’s used to be a convenient fast food restaurant where you can get meals for cheap. Cheap quality
- [R79] Grubhub App needs update: This app could be more intuitive by using my location when I order to guide my delivery address selection. Also to make it easier when ordering and a “promo” is not allowed but it’s actually a coupon that needs ti be removed. Fixing this took me so long.
- [R80] Grubhub 123 easy: Easy to order and great selection
- [R81] Grubhub GrubHub post delivery tipping process is ridiculous: You shouldn’t have to go through hurdles to leave a tip once the order has been delivered. You are a food delivery service - do better.
- [R82] Grubhub Grubhub doesn’t care about blind people: It’s very sad to me that in the year 2026 there are still some applications that care so little about Blind and Visually Impaired people, that blind users can’t even use their application. I was able to sign up for the application and login and everything but for some reason I cannot add a payment method. Grubhub you have to have your application tested for
- [R93] Pizza Hut Awful: I tried to sign in on app by receiving a code. They send the code at for example 5:49pm. I type it in at 5:50pm, it says invalid code. When placing an order on the website during checkout it says webpage error. Then it reloads. Please fix this problem if you want your customers to take advantage of your reward program.
- [R94] Pizza Hut Tips on Tax: App is fine, but auto tip includes tax in calculation, which annoys me.
- [R95] Pizza Hut Sad Face: Well updated the app. Not sure whose fault but lost all my points Pizza Hut prices went way up can’t hit contactless delivery and only 40 characters to explain to the driver where to go for delivery. #sadface
- [R96] Pizza Hut Unusable: I used to use this all the time but now it won’t let me select a payment method so I can’t order anything. I deleted and redownloaded the app. It still does it.
- [R107] Chick-fil-A Sir: not useful
- [R108] Chick-fil-A Fan of CHICK-FIL-A: I really love CHICK-FIL-A if I can only eat it everyday without getting fat I would
- [R109] Chick-fil-A Interface is confusing: There’s a lot of hidden parts and some aren’t clear unless you scroll but it’s not clear right away that you’re supposed to. The app just seems too busy.
- [R110] Chick-fil-A Terrible chat for problem resolution: I used the app to do a delivery order and one of my items was missing and so the app directed me to use the chat feature. The resolution with the chat was not great because it promised to refund my money in 3 to 5 days. But I have no proof of that and no confirmation and while I was trying to chat with the chat bot. The text screen kept reloading every few sec
- [R57] DoorDash Not worth: They overprice the items significantly. You are better off going out yourself or cooking at home
- [R59] DoorDash Door dash review: Great for convenience but just starting to get way to expensive to use anymore
- [R70] McDonald's Always a wait: I use the app to order ahead of time, but I still have to wait for 20 minutes when I’m at the store. I don’t understand what the point of pre-ordering my food is if I’m still just gonna have to sit here. And there’s literally no one in the store or in line. I am the only customer and it’s taking 20+ minutes.
- [R100] Pizza Hut Unable to get past the code verification screen: Frequently have issues with the app. Latest glitch is just trying to even log in again. Have to request a code, then when the screen comes up, there is no way to enter the code or scroll down, or do anything but go back and request another code.
- [R102] Pizza Hut Can’t sign in.: This app keeps asking to text code and it does but the submit button is so far off the bottom of the screen I can’t click on it
- [R105] Pizza Hut The app is awful: I have been a rewards member for several years. I used to have no trouble logging in. Now I have to use a code which does NOT give me the option to log on as a member. Today, I couldn’t get my code by email, only by phone number. I know I have unused points and have had this issue with the app since they changed it. I have not been getting credit for ordering the past several tim
