- [R8] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery 10/10 love: Literally a lifesaver, meal planning, rewards, coupons. Love the weekly ads!

- [R11] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Clip coupons: I used to use another grocery app until my daughter-in-law told me about the jewel app. I have been using it ever since. I find so many deals with clipping coupons! So, don’t forget to clip the coupons and check out the weekly ad.
- [R1] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery App constantly crashing: The app has been horrible as of late. My feedback and complaints are always ignored. I order for pickup at least once a week and lately, I have had issues with every single order. I’m trying to change the information for the person picking up and it does not send the email as directed. Then it doesn’t give me the option to change the car. Very frustrating. I’m just going t
- [R3] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Not sure how it has 4.8 stars: A mix of bad WiFi in the store, deals that can only be had with the digital coupons and and missing items in the app can seriously erode the in-store shopping experience. Everyone’s walking around with their phones, blocking items to get it to actually work. I’m afraid it also adds to the digital divide. I can’t imagine how many shoppers can’t take advantage of the d
- [R9] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery WiFi: Love the app, but it never works when I’m in the store. Quality WiFi would be nice.
- [R2] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Love jewels fruits: Great and fresh fruits
- [R4] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery So much plastic: I cannot believe how much plastic the grocery shoppers use, even though I have checked the box that says “bring your own bags.” They say they using their own plastic bags because of the weather… too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer… I find it ridiculous that they are putting things like bananas avocados cantaloupes and a single garlic clove in their own plastic bags. B
- [R22] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Produce: The 2 times I’ve ordered produce the products are literally rotten.
- [R30] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Online shopping experience: I love the convenience of shopping on the Jewel app. I do it often but lately I have been experiencing bad quality of product. We employees are shopping for customers they are picking out items that are rotten or going bad. They are not shopping like they would be for themselves. I normally don't complain about some of the issues but today took the cake Romaine lettuce
- [R24] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Chat feature: The chat feature only works if the shopper chats with you first and sometimes it freezes and doesn't work when your trying to respond it gets frustrating .. and some times the items in the sale paper(like fresh grilled chicken) is there but doesn't let you put in cart and buy it .. happens a bunch of times on items like salmon too.. that's frustrating
- [R34] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Unreliable: Maybe Jewel’s delivery service is better in other areas, but I consistently have issues with them. Lately, my order is almost always late. I’m still waiting for my delivery and it’s over an hour late. Customer service is awful as well. More than once, I’ve had an order literally never show up. I was told it would be delivered the next day, and the same thing will happen again. Never an
- [R48] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery App shuts down/crashes too much: Every time I open the app for the first time that day, it shuts down. I open it the second time, it works. This has been an issue for a couple of years. My iOS is up to date and this doesn’t happen on any other app. I had the WRONG HEALTH REWARDS COUPON logged in my account as app crashed, and customer service couldn’t/wouldn’t help to get this resolved.
- [R33] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Fresh groceries: All food items don’t get delivered but customer is still charged
- [R12] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Tech savvy ONLY to Save money.: You must be tech savvy to save money at Jewel. You CANNOT just take advantage of a sale , The customer must play with the APP with ridiculous digital coupons in order to save money. I shop regularly at Publix in FL during the winter months and the store sales are available to everyone. Not so at Jewel in the Mideast. The customer has to live on k for digital co
- [R16] Jewel-Osco Deals & Delivery Waist of time: In order to get discount have to look and click on each single coupon
- [R62] UNiDAYS Best app ever: The best app ever to exist it helps so much when I wanna buy or go places it really helps knock the price down for me as a broke college student

- [R86] UNiDAYS Very helpful to save cost: It’s a pretty solid solution to help students save cost on things while enjoying the things they want.
- [R64] UNiDAYS Doesn’t work, no help available: Absolutely terrible even after updating to latest version. After finally getting verified I have 0 access to discounts. I get a “restricted account message” nothing happens if I click on Get support, help tab doesn’t load either. Makes you work incredibly hard in order to get any benefits. I can’t see the purpose of it.
- [R67] UNiDAYS Doesn’t work: When I log into my student portal it forever loads on “taking your back to Unidays” and never takes me back. Therefore doesn’t allow me to use the app because it won’t let me verify i’m a student. Waste of time!
- [R73] UNiDAYS Pathetic app: Asks to review student id every dew days, and each time when I click the link, never re-directs to the right site just stuck on the app.even after multiple verification, for which Inhave email proof it is not able to redirect from the deal page to th merchant page, bought the stuff directly from merchants site, useless app.
- [R76] UNiDAYS Unprofessional: When I put in my school i got accepted, but when i tried to buy something it didn’t work, I reentered my school like 3 times and different people reviewed it and went back and forth saying it wasn’t accepted, mind you it’s literally a university. They also say they accept billing statements and didn’t accept mine.
