  1. [R1] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Worst app in App Store: Quite possibly the worst UI of any app in the App Store! You’d think Albertsons could hire a competent engineering team to actually create a usable, shopper friendly app
  2. [R4] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US New app update awful: New app update causes the search feature to glitch out and not work without shutting down the app about 20 times. Looks like they have some bugs to fix asap. I will not be using their app or shopping with them until it’s fixed.
  3. [R6] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Love the app BUT: whenever I try and clip coupons in store it ALWAYS glitches!! I always forget to clip and need to do it last minute before check out and it’s nearly impossible to clip all the coupons when it WONT LET ME
  4. [R7] 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
  5. [R2] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Digital coupons: So easy to use. I love the savings

  8. [R15] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Try to confuse customers with different deals!: It is so difficult to figure out what you’re paying because of so many different deals!

  9. [R3] 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.
  10. [R9] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Delivery problems: I love Albertsons for their prices and the people in store but I will never have anything delivered again. My first and most resent order was totally mested up. I ordered and paid for 8 family pack steaks which were supposed to have 4 steaks in each pack. Instead I received 4 packs with 2 in each pack. The manager was supposed to send me 4 packs of 4 for being shorted. Instead
  11. [R18] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Missing items: I’ve had multiple orders with missing items. It’s not on the order, but it was added to the list of items needed for purchase. More recently the app has been dropping more items.
  12. [R22] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Always out of stock: Consistency is key and this app and its inventory aren’t ever correct so it sells you a product that is not in stock and this is constant with these people don’t even bother thinking you’ll get what you ordered

  15. [R23] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Late getting order ready: I paid for the fast pickup and it took 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We sat in the parking lot for a hour waiting. I placed order and I have gotten it in 20 minutes before. We stopped about 30 minutes after I placed the order and sat in the parking lot for over a hour.
  16. [R32] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 2/5 · US Takes to long: Pick up time takes too long. Can’t be that hard to put it together.
  17. [R31] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 4/5 · US Better lately: Albertsons used to lag quite a bit when I first started shopping there about five years ago. Maybe six years. I used to like Ralph’s, but now they suck. Albertsons has nice people. They’re usually well stocked, I have no complaints.

  21. [R19] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Crashes WAY too often after updates: It doesn’t let you log in when there’s an unaccounted update (any update); it just keeps crashing. It doesn’t tell you that’s the issue. Even after you update it, it takes days to start working again and let you log on. May need to delete the app and redownload EVERY UPDATE. This chronic inaccessibility prevents people from accessing coupons to use but most imp
  22. [R17] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 4/5 · US Time-consuming, but great savings: Please add a “clip all coupons at once” button!
  23. [R60] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US App doesn't work correctly anymore: Missing clip all button and makes you press it 700 times
  24. [R69] 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
