  1. [R2] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Digital coupons: So easy to use. I love the savings
  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. [R5] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Wonderful!: I love the Albertsons’s App. It is so convenient and easy to access coupons and deals that my grocery has become a breeze these days! Thank you!!
  4. [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
  5. [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
  6. [R13] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Grocery shopping through the app is difficult: I had to shop through Walmart’s app instead. Why is it when you search for something for pick up or delivery, it brings up every item but what you’re looking for?! I searched for “bacon”and the top results were SOUP. I don’t have time to scroll through 259 products to find what I’m looking for.
  7. [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! Such as must buy 2,3 or 4 of items or you pay the non sales price! Such as must trap! Market shopping is more stressful than ever!
  8. [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
  9. [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
  10. [R21] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Not consistent: Sometimes the app is down while I’m shopping so I miss out on certain deals .
  11. [R14] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Fun to use: Great way to shop and you can make sure your getting the correct price on deals
  12. [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.
  13. [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
  14. [R12] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 3/5 · US Delays?: It’s great until they delay your dinner order for 2 hours!? :( :(
  15. [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.
  16. [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.
  17. [R33] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Happy customer: First time using pick up option ever !!! Beautiful lady that brought out my order was super sweet very happy with the service . Thank you Lake Elsinore Albertsons
  18. [R38] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Associate Deals Not loading in my app: Associate deals the last two weeks are not loading into my app and I am an active employee.. when I called customer support they said there’s nothing they can do to help fix this situation…
  19. [R49] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US Home Delivery: Home delivery is the best. Albertsons has an Albertsons employee that pulls my order. They always choice the best and freshest items. I love this membership benefits.
  20. [R29] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 5/5 · US best Prices: You save all kinds of money get great deals, become a member today
  21. [R52] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 2/5 · US App freezes often: The app has constant issues with freezing. For instance, it doesn’t process actions when I interact with it. For example, the integration with Apple Pay doesn’t work. I’ve tried clearing the cache, closing the app completely, and relaunching it, but the problem persists. When I try to use Apple Pay as a payment method, the app stalls and never processes the action. Trying to tro
  22. [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.
  23. [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.
  24. [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
  25. [R28] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 2/5 · US Convenient but anything fresh..: That you’re hoping for will not be. Bread, milk, eggs…you know, the basics. My experience is they’re more always almost about to expire. May be my local store managed by a myopic store manager, but I’ve learned to only order if I’m desperate.
  26. [R34] Albertsons Deals & Delivery 1/5 · US Never have sale items: They never have the sale it but don’t tell you until your order is ready and it is too last to cancel. Cannot recommend Albertsons.
