Latest update · v36.31.0

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

We've done some tasty bug fixes and improvements to the app to make your ordering experience even better

Recurring themes

Order Issues negative
Many users report not receiving their orders, receiving incorrect items, or orders being marked as delivered when they were not. This is a pervasive issue across multiple reviews.R1R8R9R10
Customer Service negative
A significant number of reviews criticize the customer service as awful, non-existent, or unhelpful, often relying on automated responses or refusing refunds even when orders are not received. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of 'improvements to the app to make your ordering experience even better' if customer support is part of that experience.R2R4R5R7
Refunds negative
Users frequently report being denied refunds for undelivered or incorrect orders, leading to financial loss.R1R8R9R12
Delivery Times & Tracking negative
Many users experience artificially inflated or significantly delayed delivery times. There is also a lack of real-time driver tracking or direct communication options with drivers, leading to frustration and missed deliveries.R3R6R43R45
App Functionality & Bugs negative
Reviewers report various app bugs, including blank screens, failure to load, inability to update order details, and issues with language translation. The developer notes mention 'tasty bug fixes', but recent reviews indicate these issues persist.R28R99R111R154
Cost & Fees negative
Users complain about high delivery, service, and bag fees, making the overall cost of ordering expensive. Some note that the app used to be better value.R20R206R231R265
Ease of Use positive
Despite the issues, many users find the app straightforward, easy to use, and appreciate features like reordering and finding local restaurants.R46R49R115R160
Restaurant Selection positive
Users appreciate the wide variety of food options and restaurants available on the platform.R15R49R115R179

Who it's for

Just Eat is for users primarily in Europe/UK who prioritize a wide selection of local restaurants and potentially good deals, and who have had positive experiences with delivery reliability R27R64R198R217. It is NOT for users who expect robust customer support, guaranteed refunds for order issues, or accurate real-time delivery tracking R2R4R12R43. International travelers should be cautious due to potential language barriers and support issues R3R59.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, with a significant number of 1-star ratings. While there are positive reviews, the recurring themes of undelivered orders, poor customer service, and lack of refunds are very strong and consistent across many users. The lifetime rating of 4.74 suggests a positive trajectory historically, but the recent negative sentiment indicates a significant decline in user experience.

Based on recent reviews, many users report that Just Eat often refuses to refund money for orders that were never delivered or were incorrect, even when the restaurant admits fault R1R7R8R12.

While the app provides estimated delivery times, many users report a lack of accurate real-time driver tracking and no way to directly contact the driver to assist with delivery or provide additional instructions R3R43R99R111.
Is Just Eat expensive?
Many recent reviews indicate that Just Eat has become expensive due to high delivery, service, and bag fees, with some users noting that the value has decreased over time R20R206R265R331.
Is Just Eat reliable for international travelers?
While some travelers in Europe/UK found it useful, many international travelers, particularly from the US, experienced issues with inaccurate delivery times, lack of communication, and difficulties with app translation and customer support R3R34R37R59.

  13. [R217] 5/5 · GB Weekly: Love that just eat do great deals and I can’t get to the shops never disappoint me very rarely get issues
  14. [R221] 5/5 · GB Good good: I like using Just Eat and you do deal with refunds quite quickly which is awesome as most apps keep you waiting for seven days apart from that delivery is good. Food is mostly good. Well done Just Eat.
  15. [R224] 5/5 · GB Great service: Amazing deals, best food order app to date
  16. [R15] 5/5 · US Actually Better Than I Originally Thought.: At first it seems I didn’t have a good time with this app and due to the option to not be able to tip your rider it was just another reason to not like this app. I primarily used Deliveroo. Then one day Deliveroo is acting up and won’t work. So I have no choice but to use Just Eats. I use it and found this amazing restaurant on it and it’s one of my go t
  17. [R27] 5/5 · US Must have for Europe: Must have app when traveling / living in Europe
  18. [R64] 5/5 · US 👍🏻: Great app for late night orders in spain
  19. [R198] 5/5 · US This is an App for UK, not US: Just a reminder for all of you who complains that this app gives zero search results, THIS IS AN APP DESIGNED TO USE IN UK. I'm currently traveling in London and this App is great with a lot of choices. I mean the food can sometimes be bad but there's definitely a lot of choices.
  20. [R1] 1/5 · US Awful: Didn’t receive order and just eat refused to refund my money. App does not give info to contact carrier if delivered to wrong address. No way to confirm between customer and carrier if the order was delivered.
  21. [R8] 1/5 · US Scam: Ordered food, and never received it. Spoke to restaurant and they said they did not deliver and marked the order complete anyway. Just eat will not give us our money back.
  22. [R9] 1/5 · US Order not received: I was in an online meeting from morning till late afternoon. During a break I ordered food on this app and was tracking it. When it was almost here I went down to receive it yet no one came. I managed to file a complaint and call the restaurant. Yet just eat is telling me they cannot refund my £40.27. I had to wait till almost 4pm before I ate. Such a company should simply not
  23. [R10] 1/5 · US Worst customer service experience ever.: I ordered some medicine from Superdrug, but it turned out to be really disappointing. Everything showed up on the receipt, but the main item I actually needed was missing. Instead, they only delivered the extra item I had added just to reach the minimum order, which I didn’t even really need. I told the driver straight away that something was missing, but
  24. [R2] 1/5 · US Customer service is awful: Customer service is awful
  25. [R4] 1/5 · US Support is terrible: Don’t bother using this app use Deliveroo. Worst customer service ever.
  26. [R5] 1/5 · US Don’t download this app.: This app offers terrible service and it does not offer good support it uses a really useless AI instead of just talking to you like a normal person.
  27. [R7] 1/5 · US Do not care about customer: Will not refund customer even if restaurant admits to not including part of your order.
  28. [R12] 1/5 · US THIS APP SUCKS: NO FOOD was delivered and they didn’t care and I explained it to them. The driver had the details wrong. I was traveling staying in a hotel had traveled all night long and just wanted a pizza before I went to bed and they didn’t care stay away
  29. [R3] 2/5 · US DONT USE AS INTERNATIONAL TRAVELER: me and my friend were hungry. we are from america, and just got back from our flight, so we decided to order in. so we went to the app and ordered some food. Estimated delivery time was way off. It did not alert us when the driver was near and kept saying that there was 10 minutes till they came which caused the driver to get upset and it caused us to get upset
  30. [R6] 1/5 · US Just Wait: Disorganized deliveries. Be ready to Just wait
  31. [R43] 1/5 · US Do Not Use: Delivery times are artificially inflated (ETA of 30 minutes became 2 hours) the delivery drivers are not trackable, and there is no way to contact the restaurant or report a problem via the app. This app only makes the experience worse - order directly instead
  32. [R45] 1/5 · US Misleading delivery times: Orders get delivered significantly later than the estimated delivery times. It has happened to me more than once now. I called the restaurants and they say the order has been ready each time. I don’t mind waiting if I know how long it will take. I don’t like having the delivery time increase significantly after I have placed the order.
  33. [R20] 1/5 · US Too much: Just eat fees continue to go up and the restaurants have also increased prices. Please make it stop!
  34. [R206] 3/5 · GB Expensive: Used to be good value. Gone really expensive
  35. [R231] 3/5 · GB Just eat: This is a good app if you live in range of a town or somewhere where they deliver. It’s easy to use and things can be delivered quite quickly, however you do have to pay for delivery charges and can only order from certain places .
  36. [R265] 3/5 · GB Fees: Service fees are too high
  37. [R28] 1/5 · US Love this app but it shut me out: They changed the logo on the app so I’m guessing they updated it now I can’t get back in which is absolutely great news
  38. [R99] 3/5 · US Bugs: I’ve never had them mess up an order and the delivery is always is pretty quick, but the app itself needs worked on. 9.8/10 times I get on it, it’s a blank screen and won’t load. It doesn’t matter if wifi or 4g or where im at. I’ve even deleted the app and redownloaded and it’s still doing it. Also, 3/5 times you order it’ll still say preparing your order, but then the person shows up at the
  39. [R111] 3/5 · US Frustrating that you can’t talk with courier: There’s no way to contact them to help them find their way or anything, it’s so annoying. And if you don’t include instructions before you submit the order there’s no way to add them later. This is an easy fix that the developers really need to get on asap!
  40. [R154] 4/5 · US Optimise site: Good service but the site needs improvement- a) the search function for restaurants ndd add me or cuisine needs to be improved/ it shows up lots of unrelated results. B) in the delivery address you should allow a few lines to meet additional directions for delivery guy as not all addresses are straightforward c) got s beee we address it should pick up your current location rather t
  41. [R42] 3/5 · US Ratings aren’t valid: I rated a store 3 stars for valid reasons and rated the delivery 4-stars, so they misrepresented my rating as 4- stars, which will mislead others in the further.
  42. [R215] 3/5 · GB Worse than it was: Decent app, never really have problems. Major downside over the past year has been the removal of readable reviews and redesigning the rating system to heavily favour restaurants all being 5 star. You used to get 4.7/4.5 etc. now it’s all 5. Another issue is the amount of duplicate restaurants, either the same restaurant with multiple names operating from the same location or
  43. [R365] 3/5 · GB No tips: When ordering from a food takeaway I would like the option to leave a tip as I don’t often have cash. Uber eats allows this and it’s a little annoying not to have this option
  44. [R34] 1/5 · US Order not delivered and no refund: There should be a chat feature on this app. And also you should provide a refund if there is an error. You should mandate that users enter in an area code. Some international customers may not realize they did not enter in an area code for their phone number. These small things can make a big difference. I’m not sure why you rely only on phone calls to call custo
  45. [R37] 1/5 · US Yeah no this app is horrible: First off I tried translating things to English and clearly that doesn’t work. So in order to find out what to order I had to translate everything manually. On top of that I ordered food last night. It said my driver was approaching delivery. I waited about 25 minutes looking at my window and I didn’t see a single driver come by. On top of that, it was already an hour
  46. [R59] 1/5 · US Americans Beware! (avoid at all costs): App appears to work well in English at first. Once you ask for help or report a problem, it’s all Italian and the app doesn’t allow translations. You can’t “copy” the text on the screen or interact with it. There is no support number to reach and no one answers their emails. The worst part is their delivery partners know this and will take orders and never
  47. [R49] 4/5 · US Pretty decent: I like that it has different options but I wish it had a button so you could favorite the places you like to eat rather than searching for it.
  48. [R160] 5/5 · US Perfect: Excellent application, I like it
  49. [R331] 3/5 · GB Greedy Just Eat: This greedy company is why takeout is getting so expensive. 14-35% commission on the restaurants, then they charge customers on top of that which doesn’t even touch the restaurants. Service fees, bag fees, delivery fees. Service fees were only added because they were told they can’t charge fees for using card anymore. Gross business model that is now too big to fail. I only ho
