Ratings and reviews

Love the app and the idea of less food waste but hate that everything is instantly frozen. Bakery items like pastries that were already frozen prior to baking just fall apart and some of the meat easily gets freezer burnt because you don't have the opportunity to put it in appropriate packaging at home. I wish it was more like the other app I use for less food waste in that regard. I also wish the pictures were true and not the ad pics because you have to guess if it's particular cut of meat

mostly okay, but in the past two days it suddenly stopped opening. once i did manage to open it i'm unable to sign in. the validation code isn't being sent to my email and there are no alternatives. it seems others may have the same problem. it sucks because there were a few things I wanted to grab tonight. before this development, it worked fairly well. love stopping food waste.

The service is great. The app... not so much. It won't open, so I have to uninstall, reinstall, & re-login everytime I want to even just browse the offerings. I can't recall which update started this nonsense, but it's really frustrating & makes me not want to bother anymore.
