- [R8] Just Eat Must have for Europe: Must have app when traveling / living in Europe
- [R11] Just Eat Good food finding app: Good for finding nearby food and vendors
- [R12] Just Eat Naser: Good app with wide variety of options, but would love to see an English version for the Spanish one.
- [R17] Just Eat Pretty decent: I like that it has different options but I wish it had a button so you could favorite the places you like to eat rather than searching for it.
- [R6] Just Eat Bugs: I’ve never had them mess up an order and the delivery is always is pretty quick, but the app itself needs worked on. 9.8/10 times I get on it, it’s a blank screen and won’t load. It doesn’t matter if wifi or 4g or where im at. I’ve even deleted the app and redownloaded and it’s still doing it. Also, 3/5 times you order it’ll still say preparing your order, but then the person shows up at the
- [R9] Just Eat Frustrating that you can’t talk with courier: There’s no way to contact them to help them find their way or anything, it’s so annoying. And if you don’t include instructions before you submit the order there’s no way to add them later. This is an easy fix that the developers really need to get on asap!
- [R14] Just Eat Excellent: Very straight forward app. Reliable and fast delivery. Updates a little off but overall no issues getting food late or cold.
- [R21] Just Eat Just eat: This is a good app if you live in range of a town or somewhere where they deliver. It’s easy to use and things can be delivered quite quickly, however you do have to pay for delivery charges and can only order from certain places .
- [R1] Just Eat Awful: Didn’t receive order and just eat refused to refund my money. App does not give info to contact carrier if delivered to wrong address. No way to confirm between customer and carrier if the order was delivered.
- [R7] Just Eat DONT USE AS INTERNATIONAL TRAVELER: me and my friend were hungry. we are from america, and just got back from our flight, so we decided to order in. so we went to the app and ordered some food. Estimated delivery time was way off. It did not alert us when the driver was near and kept saying that there was 10 minutes till they came which caused the driver to get upset and it caused us to get upset

- [R4] Just Eat Customer service is awful: Customer service is awful
- [R10] Just Eat Support is terrible: Don’t bother using this app use Deliveroo. Worst customer service ever.
- [R13] Just Eat Don’t download this app.: This app offers terrible service and it does not offer good support it uses a really useless AI instead of just talking to you like a normal person.
- [R36] Just Eat Greedy Just Eat: This greedy company is why takeout is getting so expensive. 14-35% commission on the restaurants, then they charge customers on top of that which doesn’t even touch the restaurants. Service fees, bag fees, delivery fees. Service fees were only added because they were told they can’t charge fees for using card anymore. Gross business model that is now too big to fail. I only ho
- [R47] Just Eat Too much: Just eat fees continue to go up and the restaurants have also increased prices. Please make it stop!
- [R45] Just Eat Do NOT USE! TERRIBLE: I just read a few of the bad reviews and wish I had seen them before. I couldn’t agree more. Biggest waste of money. Completely robbed as another person said. The customer service is horrendous. They just kept saying it was delivered when in fact it had NOT been delivered and then they wouldn’t stand by their service or lack thereof so I wasted my money. I am disgusted by the
- [R16] Just Eat Just Wait: Disorganized deliveries. Be ready to Just wait
- [R22] Just Eat Scam: Ordered food, and never received it. Spoke to restaurant and they said they did not deliver and marked the order complete anyway. Just eat will not give us our money back.
- [R34] Just Eat THIS APP SUCKS: NO FOOD was delivered and they didn’t care and I explained it to them. The driver had the details wrong. I was traveling staying in a hotel had traveled all night long and just wanted a pizza before I went to bed and they didn’t care stay away
