1. [R1] Panera Bread 1/5 · US Can't change currency: This app was working fine until it didn't. I went to Japan back in April and came back and ever since the app didn't update from yen to USD and I have no way to fix this. I deleted and reinstalled the app, logged in via website and the currency shows USD so I don't understand why it won't fix it when I've also enabled location services so it sees I'm in the United States. I
2. [R10] Panera Bread 2/5 · US App Changed My Pickup Time Without My Consent: I placed an order at 8:51 PM, expecting a same-day pickup. Instead, the app automatically scheduled it for 6:09 AM the next morning without asking for my confirmation. I never selected that time, and I do not wake up that early. When an app changes the pickup date or time, it should require the customer’s explicit approval before processing payment.
3. [R14] Panera Bread 2/5 · US Pain in the butt updates and spam: App frequently updates, and every single time I have to reenter my login information, as if I carry my Panera password around in my pocket all the time. Also, WAY too many promotional notifications and emails.
4. [R7] Panera Bread 1/5 · US Soapy Soup & Jail: The soups are always bad, the sandwiches are too pricy. When I eat here I feel like a medieval child. Not only that but Panera sent me to jail cause you can’t kiss in their parking lot apparently. Get a life
5. [R9] Panera Bread 3/5 · US Pricey: The foods awesome.. It’s just too expensive and I don’t know why.
6. [R11] Panera Bread 4/5 · US More rewards or discounts please: Wish there were more discounts or rewards
7. [R3] Panera Bread 3/5 · US Payments feature: I don’t like that you cannot pay with more than one payment type. For instance, I had a gift card and I wanted to use it online, but it can only be used in the store if the order is more than the gift card balance.
8. [R4] Panera Bread 1/5 · US iPad app is PAINFULLY missing: An iPad version of this app is PAINFULLY missing. On a daily basis, our office passes around an iPad to place a large $250+ group order, but it’s never for Panera Bread since there’s no iPad app. What a shame, since Panera Bread is a popular/favorite on our floor, but it’s just too hard to place a 25+ person order on an iPhone-sized app when we need 10+ customizati
9. [R6] Panera Bread 3/5 · US Why is Panera constantly out of items of late???: It’s a bit frustrating of late when ordering as each time they are out of this that or the other…. And it’s not just one location. Seems like they need to get their demand and supply chain sorted
10. [R22] Panera Bread 5/5 · US Customization of drinks: I’ve been using the Panera app for years and I really like it the only problem I have is they took away the customization for drinks so I can no longer put a note in for no ice. You can tell them when you check in, but by that time they’ve already made the drink and now they have to throw some away, I hate waste!.
11. [R12] Panera Bread 2/5 · US New rewards signup requires a new email address: I received the email explaining the new rewards program and attempted to follow the steps to create a new membership. I was not allowed to use my current email address as it was “already in use”. Ridiculous. I had to use another email address that I happen to have but don’t use.
12. [R55] Starbucks 5/5 · US Stars: You get deals and can preorder and see what drinks there are and get stars for free stuff but the stars disappear that’s why I didn’t put 5 star
13. [R58] Starbucks 5/5 · US The App Gets You Free Reward Points!: The app is way better personally because you can earn reward points,customize drinks and more.
14. [R64] Starbucks 4/5 · US Amazing: Skips the line even at work I ask if I can pre order a coffee to pick up when my breaks start so I don’t waste time waiting. I love saving up my points for location specific cups. I sell them on eBay when I have to many or gift them. It does lag during busy times of the day and depending on location. Other then that it’s so helpful
15. [R66] McDonald's 4/5 · US 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.
16. [R69] McDonald's 5/5 · US 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
17. [R73] McDonald's 3/5 · US SLOW: Painfully slow
18. [R75] McDonald's 5/5 · US McDonald’s app: I use this app everyday and I love it I’m on a limited budget and this help me save everyday I eat there and makes it very affordable
19. [R80] Crumbl 5/5 · US Bestest sweet treats💗: 10/10! Easy, convenient, delicious
20. [R83] Crumbl 5/5 · US Delicious: Crumble never disappoints! So delicious with every bite!
21. [R87] Crumbl 5/5 · US Convenient: Easy and convenient
22. [R90] Crumbl 4/5 · US Amazing: The cookies there are amazingly good and their cakes are amazing. Also I love the red velvet one and I love the carrot cake one and for the cookies I love the original flavors and their new ones. and if you haven’t had them before, you should definitely try them.
23. [R97] Chick-fil-A 5/5 · US Outstanding service and kindness: Even though this place was extremely busy , our food was served within minutes. The servers kept coming around asking customers if they wanted refills on drinks. Plus, the food was outstanding. Great experience…. I wish I didn’t live four hours away.
24. [R99] Chick-fil-A 5/5 · US Smiles: Matthew was an amazing greeter at the window. He had a nice smile and called me by my name. It is not taken for granted. The lady that took my order was so kind.
25. [R101] Chick-fil-A 5/5 · US 5 ⭐️: So easy to order and use.
26. [R103] Chick-fil-A 5/5 · US Great food!: Thank you for all of the quality food at this chic fil a! Everything is always hot and delicious! We love it!
27. [R108] SONIC Drive-In 4/5 · US Easy, smooth app: Love eating at Sonic, and the app makes it easy. Just wish there was a section to add more sauces. EX: marinara, bbq, ranch
28. [R110] SONIC Drive-In 1/5 · US Rewards: App will remove rewards and take your full price money idk smh
29. [R112] SONIC Drive-In 3/5 · US Customizations: I like the deals and that they’ve added rewards. The only downside is that I always have to order in person since there isn’t an option to add sweet tea to slushes and that’s my go-to order (Peach slushy w/ sweet tea & lemon wedge). And even when I order in person, they’ll enter it in wrong and I still can’t get the drink I want (which is why I prefer ordering through the app).
30. [R115] SONIC Drive-In 3/5 · US Great app but no Discover: I love the app! I just wish that it would accept Discover as a form of payment. Because I can’t use it anymore with my current bank.
31. [R117] SONIC Drive-In 3/5 · US Food great, wait time long: I ordered the sonic special at 6:00pm on Monday in Newbern, Tennessee. I arrived at 6:04, alerted the app I had arrived in stall 12 but didn’t receive my order until 6:13pm. Food was great, but wait time was too long for using the app.
32. [R118] SONIC Drive-In 2/5 · US The worst fast food app: The app constantly says I’m miles away from the location, it doesn’t matter which location, it happens every single time, when I’m literally sitting in the stall.
