Ratings and reviews

I love the idea, but if there is a single shop in Oregon that participates, I can't find them. No groceries, meals, or anything! Huge bummer, but very true to form to the US. I lived overseas and used TooGoodToGo a lot and got bags of groceries for like $10 each, but the US is slow to adopt these kinds of apps, and corporate greed/policy makes these sorts of apps hard to use. Keep advertising yourself to shops to get them on board! I would love to make use of this app.

The app is a good concept, but I have two major complaints. The first is that food advertised as available on the home screen is often no longer available once you click through to the restaursnt page to place an order. This seems like a bait-and-switch. The second issue is that a sneaky fee is added on just before you place the order. I didnt even notice the fee until I had placed many orders. Karma charges restaurants 25% of the sale price, so there is no reason to add an (underhanded) fee.

Whenever I've checked the app, it always says nothing available.. I've searched hard (and further than I'd want to travel), but the best I've found are a few shops, where it says the last sale was over a week ago (which could presumably mean a month or a year back). In contrast, TooGoodToGo always seems to have places offering food daily. UPDATE: months later, I still haven't found anything. Maybe they need to add some kind of alert to tell you when there's something available with 20-30Km 🤷‍♂️
