Ratings and reviews

BRING BACK THE WIDGET! The widget was the best way to see my balance and see if I had to add funds before paying. I know you have shortcuts but what's the point of an "add money" shortcut if you don't know what your balance is without opening the app? Other than that, the app is great. Allows you to check your star balance and pay without cash. It's always worked flawlessly for me. Not tried ordering through it as nowhere outside of major cities seems to support it.

Mostly good. Biggest amnoyance is the store chooser. If its first guess for the store you want to pick up from is not correct, trying to change it is one of the most frustrating UXes I've ever seen. The map viee is designed only to give you directions to the store you've already chosen, because it always defaults to this — if I already knew where the store was when I chose it, I wouldn't need directions to it. If I don't I'll probably want to see all the options on a map before I choose one.

The app can be improved. Majority of people who use the app are the regulars who most likely order the same things every day. In order to place the same order, you have to confirm items, location, to go or eat in, price, at least three times. This can be set in one screen for a single confirmation. Another point is that the app is not directly connected to credit cards, but rather, you have to buy virtual prepaid cards. I understand the strategy, but this can be changed as well.
