About this app

EzWIC provides all the tools to make WIC shopping easy!

The EzWIC app is for families in the Arizona, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands (CNMI), District of Columbia (DC), Guam, and Navajo Nation Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Programs. You can use Clinic Search to find a
nearby WIC clinic. You can use the Store Locator to find a nearby grocery store to shop for WIC foods.
Shopping for WIC foods in the grocery store can be confusing and hard, and this app makes it easier.
You can view the Food List in the app to see what types of foods are WIC approved. You can also scan
the barcode of a food with your phone and the app will tell you if it is WIC approved.
Register your eWIC card for additional features:
• Scan the barcode of a food with your phone and the app will show if you can buy the food with
your eWIC card and will display the available benefits. This will help avoid awkward situations in
the checkout lane.
• Check your latest benefit balance at any time.
• See details regarding your current home WIC Clinic.
• Receive and manage additional notifications:
o Appointment reminders
o Forgot documents
o Food benefits expiring soon
o Food benefits expired
o Breast pump return reminders
For Arizona WIC Program only: Submit a complaint against WIC Participants, WIC Staff, or WIC Vendors
under ‘Contact Us’. By selecting the menu called ‘Other Resources” you can view eWIC Card balances
and food list information in multiple languages, or view the “WIC in a Click” Website for WIC training
videos.

Ratings and reviews

In general I find this app very useful and I check it almost every time I go shopping. It's especially great because it updates with food changes and you don't get notified of that otherwise. But the newest update forcing you to change phone settings because it doesn't work with dark mode breaks it for me. Bright mode gives me migraines. I hate that I was forced to update the app only for the experience to get significantly worse

The newest update somehow doesn't work with the phone set to dark mode, so their solution is to require the user to change the phone's global dark mode setting just to use the app. I'm a developer myself and I was shocked to see this. It's just unprofessional. If your update doesn't support basic android functionality you don't push it to production. But these people just slapped a message at the top bluntly requiring the user to change global phone settings to cover for their own incompetence.

Barcode glitches more often now, won't work in dark mode (which I need due to my eyesight and cluster headaches), and as of the last week, won't load my remaining benefits no matter how many times I reload... Please change it back. I hate having to ask my spouse what the darn screen says because I can't read it...
