Evidence note: The comparison is between a food delivery service (Swiggy) and a cooking game (Food Games), which are fundamentally different types of apps. The 'Free vs Paid' asymmetry is highly relevant for Food Games, where much of the negativity stems from its aggressive IAP model despite being advertised as 'Free + IAP'.

  4. [R49] Swiggy 5/5 · US Filter menu by available items: Hello Team, I have a small suggestion that could make ordering even smoother. It would be really helpful to have a filter option to show only items that are available now, instead of scrolling through hundreds of menu items in a dropdown. This way, users can quickly focus on what’s currently available rather than going through the entire menu each time. Keep up t

  11. [R43] Swiggy 5/5 · US On-time polite professional delivery: Thank you for professional delivery service on time.
  12. [R4] Swiggy 1/5 · US Worst service: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Very disappointed with Swiggy’s service. I waited for more than 2 hours for my order, only to be told at the end that they couldn’t complete the delivery. This is completely unacceptable. The worst part is that they hold customers’ money and don’t process refunds promptly. Their customer service is extremely poor, they only apologize but never provide a real solution or take
  13. [R13] Swiggy 1/5 · US Unscrupulous company: [update] Swiggy support reached out with refund of Rs 100 for a Rs. 412 item. Requested account deletion. If I don’t get my money back, at least I refuse to make their own money. Using Zomato now. Much better customer experience. Placed an order and the driver got into an accident. Food got delayed but delivered. 5 stars for effort to the driver. However some food got spoiled
  14. [R19] Swiggy 1/5 · US Lack of responsibility!: Be careful, they collect payment but dont take any responsibility of restaurants not fulfilling your order completely. Even when you contact customer service, they just wash their hands off and suggest customers to leave bad feedback for the reataurant as a resolution!
  15. [R1] Swiggy 1/5 · US Exorbitant prices: Checked some of the items .. on an average the price of biryani is 400 and the biggest surprise is 650+ tax+ shipment charges in one of the restaurant .. Totally this online food delivery prices are biggest joke.
  16. [R24] Swiggy 1/5 · US The worst place to order: They charge you an Tonne to order and then never honor their agreement for delivery. Their service is extremely poor.
  17. [R56] Swiggy 1/5 · US Delivery charges: Prices are tooo high when compared to other apps and wait time is also high
  18. [R21] Swiggy 3/5 · US Swiggy One Black Customer: I have been paying for the subscription which I now find to be oversaturated. To see that the express delivery takes 50+ minutes from place that is 10 minutes of a drive away is not satisfactory given that the black subscription is quite pricey.
  19. [R61] Food Games 2/5 · US Free to download: Oh it’s free to download but the minute you open it asks you to pay no I’m not about to pay for a game that is free to download only to ask you pay for it the minute you download it
  20. [R79] Food Games 1/5 · US 8.99 A WEEK?!?: You can’t even play this game without starting a free trial. I often forget to cancel free trials so I never sign up for them but 8.99 A WEEK to play a game is ridiculous! THIS GAME COST $35 a month I want to know what type of crack the developer was smoking
  21. [R91] Food Games 1/5 · US Adds: When I click the play button it gives me an add. Then after the add you choose a cart. When I click the cart it tells me to sight up for something that enables all games and I can’t get rid of it. So then I can’t play the game. It makes just me frustrated ! The description is deceiving too it says you can play it for free but you obviously CAN’T!
  22. [R94] Food Games 1/5 · US Won’t Even Let me Play the Game: This game won’t let me play without paying for a subscription and right when I open the game there is an ad. This game is a scam!!! 0/5 stars.
  23. [R10] Swiggy 1/5 · US Average: My ordered food has been delivered to some other person And taking too much time for delivery taking more than 2 hours to deliver the ordered food
  24. [R30] Swiggy 1/5 · US Delivery timing are worst: They take multiple orders and never deliver on the time initially promised, always take 2x the time promised for reference
  25. [R44] Swiggy 1/5 · US I am very disappointed because I am very hungry, I need the food right now and it is taking v long: I am very disappointed because I’m very hungry and I need the food right now and it is taking forever, I did not expect this.
  26. [R45] Swiggy 4/5 · US Great for NRIs: I really like that I can use this directly with my US phone. Having said that it’s hard to call delivery partners. Using something via WhatsApp would be super helpful. Adding support for us based credit cards would be the cherry on the top. Totally makes it worth it for me.
