Ratings and reviews

I shop from overseas and have food delivered in south africa. I have not had problems using app for over two years but for the last few months the app is ridiculous. Either I cannot get signed in or like today every time I try to check out it lets me select time then when the pay page should up I get message saying try again later.

I go through the registration process, log in, the app welcomes me, then asks me to log in again when I try to add to or view my basket, or view my loyalty card. Login fails each time. Meanwhile I'm getting marketing notifications. Several other users are reporting the same problem. Review responses so say to email support. Clearly there's a general issue, so why not just notify the developers? Also, why is there no way to report a bug in the app? Email is an inconvenient extra step.

The app works fine as is. The issue comes in at delivery time. It takes almost a week to deliver to my suburb. I got a call on the day of delivery for both my orders that the items I wanted were out of stock. They were in stock when I placed the orders. So basically, I can't rely on actually receiving what I ordered as there is no way telling what in stock when they deliver. This was really frustrating and a waste of everyone's time.

What’s new
