  1. [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
  2. [R5] Vons Deals & Delivery 4/5 · US App: The app needs to have more product pictures and better display of the product.
  3. [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
  4. [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
  5. [R18] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Navigating: So hard to navigate and soooooo many pages.
  6. [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.
  7. [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.
  8. [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.
  9. [R12] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Lags a bit: The app lags sometimes and kicks you out
  10. [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
  11. [R14] Vons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Love Vons!: Always get quality items and great service! Love the app and the coupons!
  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. [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
  14. [R34] Vons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Savings: I find the best saving at Vons
  15. [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
  16. [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.
  17. [R16] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Extremely buggy: Anything from trying to change the name on the order, to adding delivery instructions, or communicating with the driver, are made almost impossible by an app that is constantly malfunctioning & overall poorly built.
  18. [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 👍🏽‼️
  19. [R37] Vons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Healthy Points program decimated, now absolutely worthless: I really enjoyed all the healthy goals I could set & achieve, which really helped me stay on track consistently with exercise & nutrition. I would always have the max of 10 goals set every day and use my points for healthy groceries, like produce & eggs. With today’s app update, you can only have a max of 3 weekly goals and 3 daily “habit

  21. [R98] Dollar General-Digital Coupons 5/5 · US Savings savings savings: The deals that keeps money in my pocket.
  22. [R21] Vons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Enjoy app but ….: I think the app is great but the staff picking out the items not so much! Seems like they go for the worst of the items! Keeps me from ordering pick up
  23. [R26] Vons Deals & Delivery 4/5 · US Order: My order was missing a strawberries that I ordered
  24. [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.
