Ratings and reviews

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.

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

I think that Food Hero is such a great opportunity for everyone. When I get paid at the end of the the month, I go on the Food Hero app, and scroll down through each department to see what deals are on for the day. Everything is half priced. It's always frozen as well. I think th program is great and everyone wins. You save half the cost, and the product isn't sitting in the landfills.
