Ratings and reviews

There have been numerous times that I opened the app, fully intending to buy from Woolies, but halfway through I get so annoyed I just switch to Checkers/PnP instead. There's is a delay on EVERY. SINGLE. ACTION. Partially this is due to their servers clearly being slow but partially its because they make the user wait for a server respons for every single action. The "recently bought items" list has never worked and adding items to a wishlist requires multiple (very slow) clicks. It's awful.

Forced to use app instead of website for Dash. Uncomfortable for older people. Impossible to navigate large shopping lists with ease. Try it, big list, two or three lists, and now try quickly shopping. It's painful. No logic and no way of sorting list items. Spamming. When you turn on notifications for checkout messaging you suddenly also get spammed. Back button on products too small. Drivers pitched before allocated time and then impossible to get customer services.

All in all not a bad experience if you're willing to go without certain freedoms. But most of the substitution lists haven't been populated, and those that have are short. You can search for your own, but most of the time, that option doesn't work. It was better when they had shoppers handling your substitutions. I'd prefer the option of doing my own subs, but only if that option actually works. Right now you just have to make do with 2nd rate subs you don't even like.
