  1. [R14] Vons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Love Vons!: Always get quality items and great service! Love the app and the coupons!
  2. [R25] Vons Deals & Delivery 2/5 · US Please fix this app: This app is now so difficult to search for coupons. Previously, you could choose to search by category, i.e. Fruits and Vegetables, Dairy, etc. Currently, the app provides a mish-mash of coupons and one must scroll endlessly through all of it so as not to miss a coupon. This wastes my time and frustrates me. Please rectify this issue.
  3. [R29] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US VONS has seriously downgraded the deals including the number of goals you can sign up for: VONS, Safeways, Pavillions has seriously downgraded the rewards program you use to be able to sign up for 10 goals simultaneously and sign in to mark them as completed, not anymore than you can have a maximum of 3 goals going on at a time and it very hard to mark them as completed. I guess they want me to g
  4. [R34] Vons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Savings: I find the best saving at Vons
  5. [R1] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Hard to navigate: I hope they can change to like Stater Bros. Theirs is super easy. At checkout you just put your phone number at time of purchase . As long as you have your phone number plugged in as a member. Please change yours
  6. [R13] Vons Deals & Delivery 2/5 · US Why is this so hard: For an app that supposed to make a regular chore easier, nothing about the information in the app is intuitive. Why can’t I find where to let the store know that I’m in the parking lot waiting for my regular subscribed order? Why can’t I figure out how to add a child’s prescription to my Health Account? It seems like all the most compelling reasons to use this app are hidden i
  7. [R18] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Navigating: So hard to navigate and soooooo many pages.
  8. [R4] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Horrible: Every time they mess with this app to make it "more efficient" all they do is make 10xs slower! Now it won't even load.
  9. [R6] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Needs some improvements: Updated review. I either shop in store or do pick up orders. The problem with pick up orders is that inventory usually never aligns with current inventory. For example, I buy 6 cases of water, 10 of the same dog food, and 5 packages of fruits. All are in stock via the app. But the order either gets cancelled or heavily modified due to a supposed “out of stock” issues. T
  10. [R7] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US App does not work: Its been months since I reinstalled the app. I kept bumping into errors where the app would crash and close. Recently, a cashier at one of my Vons recommended I scan the QR code on my receipt for savings. I got promoted to install the Vons app again, which I did but the app crashed immediately. The app doesn’t work and should be revised and updated to prevent all these crashes.
  11. [R12] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Lags a bit: The app lags sometimes and kicks you out
  12. [R24] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Disappointed: Because of the app there is always an issue with pricing. Every time I go and maybe only by 10 things at least one thing is wrong. I always have to check my receipt before I leave. I went there yesterday and the blackberries rung up wrong. Had to go back to the customer service desk and deal with that. And the times that I forget to check my receipt and I go home and then I look at i
  13. [R8] Vons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US John -meat department Bonita store: John has great customer service. I needed some help and he was busy but he immediately stopped and helped me with a smile! I said thank you and he said your very welcome and thank you for coming to Vons. He genuinely looked like he enjoys his job.
  14. [R17] Vons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US A true original Safeway/Vons customer: I have shopped in various stores throughout Southern California and overall I have NO complaints if there’s a problem I come back with the product and it’s handled exactly the way it is supposed to be done WITH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FIRST AND FOREMOST 👍🏽‼️
  15. [R30] Vons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Grocery shopping: Vons is my go to for weekly fresh ingredientes. Love you VONS ! I love their costumer service
  16. [R42] Vons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Self checkout: The people running it are so helpful & friendly . I mess it up sometimes. And they never make me fill silly or dumb. Thanks, appreciate that.
  17. [R9] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Clipped: Wish there was a clip all button, annoying to have to go and keep clipping everything every week
  18. [R15] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Clipped deals: It’s too hard to add clipped deals to my account. It wants to add them to the basket.
  19. [R67] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Buggy App: Developer focuses on look of UI over functionality. Make no mistake, this app and associated activity are used for marketing purposes. App has issues retrieving information, and errors out. The fix for this “service error” is to remove and reinstall the app. Coupon clipping (which must be done on the app, or face the wrath of the check out clerk) must be done individually, a custome
  20. [R77] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 4/5 · US Time-consuming, but great savings: Please add a “clip all coupons at once” button!
  21. [R19] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Digital headaches; Vons is failing their customers: If the goal of the Vons mobile app is to drive customer loyalty, it is spectacularly failing. Since the merger with Albertsons, the digital experience has devolved from a useful tool into a source of constant frustration. This isn't "convenience", it’s a calculated exercise in customer attrition. The Technical Failure The app is a masterclass in i
  22. [R43] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US App Crashes: Very frustrating its been about 4 days since I have not been able to order my weekly groceries. When I attempt to add an item to my cart, immediately pops up a notification stating there is a service problem and try again. I even attempted on their website to order, same thing service problem. Whatever updates they recently have made have left many customers with no resolve. Vons has
  23. [R59] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Doesn’t work at all.: Every product I try to open or add to cart returns a “Service Problem” error. The only reason I downloaded this broken app is the website is broken too, in pretty much the same way. And according to other people these are problems that have gone unaddressed for months. How is a major grocery chain this incompetent?
  24. [R27] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Not reliable: App doesn’t process correctly for a pick up then when it allows you to check out, the original pick up window time is no longer available. I believe there’s an algorithm that tries to get you to get the paid version by keep pushing away the pick up time you originally selected.
  25. [R33] Vons Deals & Delivery 2/5 · US Not a fan of Vons delivery: Go shop yourself. Half the time you’re missing items even if you give a substitute.
  26. [R63] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Who’s in charge of ordering?: Generally like the store but they are always OUT of STOCK on everything!! Want fresh bread on the weekend? -forget it. I don’t know if I have ever gotten everything I wanted in the store or online in 25 years.
