★★★★ Nirmal Kumar 5/8/2026 v3.271.0
My deliveroo app stopped working. App shows green splash screen, after few seconds it closes itself. I tried clearing cache and data, uninstalled app, restarted phone, reinstalled delivered app, the issue still remains. Deliveroo app used to work, can no longer place orders, dev team please do test it in Android 16.
★★★★ Kim 5/6/2026 v3.270.0
Terrible experience. Unlike apps such as Uber, there’s no proper cancellation option. I accidentally placed an order to the wrong address and tried to cancel it immediately, but the app gave me no way to do so. I then contacted customer service straight away, but they were completely unhelpful and unwilling to resolve the issue. As a result, I lost my money over a simple mistake and was left feeling extremely distressed and frustrated.
★★★★ Ryobcity 1997 5/6/2026 v3.270.1
the worst app out there so bad, I ordered food some items missing they didn't help at all, how can I provide proof when I dont have the item i shown them the receipt but its not enough proof never using this app again.
★★★★ Ibrahim Emagine 5/6/2026 v3.271.0
worst app ever delivery
★★★★ Angelica Delgado 5/6/2026 v3.270.1
Bad experience
★★★★ Umar Ishaque 5/6/2026
non-functional this app used to when fine. now however, no matter how i restart the app, uninstall & reinstall it, update it & restart my phone; the Deliveroo app just never works for me, always appearing with a "something went wrong. please try again" message. I can't track orders I've made, access my account or anything. Have had to reluctantly switch to a competitor.
★★★★ Adrian Dudau 5/6/2026 v3.270.1
over 3 hours waiting
★★★★ Imran Tajuddin 5/6/2026 v3.270.0
prices too high
★★★★ FARIHA FAISAL 5/6/2026 v3.270.1
Worst customer service i have ever come across, store is trying to trick customers amd increase product price upon using the voucher and deliveroo isn't solving this issue for the customer saying that they can't help in this situation. really really bad experience. won't ever use this again
★★★★ Gabi Lau 5/5/2026 v3.270.0
give me back my cancel subscription button
★★★★ Paul Salame 5/5/2026 v3.270.0
terrible customer service. they wouldn't even do a partial refund after the driver spilled the bag and food on the street!
★★★★ Malal Rebooted 5/5/2026 v3.270.0
placed a big order and was unable at the time to show ID. was told that not only do I NOT get my goods, but they're keeping my money too. Beware disabled people, they don't like us.
★★★★ Geoff Bing 5/5/2026 v3.270.0
cancelled my order after being an hour late.
★★★★ Ivan 5/4/2026 v3.270.0
le support inexistant et complètement inutile. le pire service jamais vu
★★★★ Yosuf 5/4/2026 v3.270.0
I tried to create an account for more than half an hour, and keep saying error tray again with no option to contact support
★★★★ Dzanetos Andros 5/4/2026 v3.270.0
I live on the 7th floor and have a disability, so order delivery of groceries. On countless occasions, drivers refuse to deliver to my door although parking and access are not an issue. Today, the driver claims to have left around £60 of groceries in the garden (although my building doesn't have one) because he couldn't park, in spite of one of his colleagues successfully delivering to my door on the same day. Customer Services have been argumentative and not supportive at all. Avoid at all cost
★★★★ The FBD 5/4/2026
food always arrives cold over 3 hours wait time for small orders drivers dont care just a minimum effort for uncharged items
★★★★ Orlagh Flynn 5/4/2026 v3.270.0
cold food. cant use credit
★★★★ Russ H 5/4/2026 v3.254.1
updated my phone to latest update android 16 now deliveroo just crashes upon opening app, all my other apps work fine so definitely an issue with the deliveroo app :/
★★★★ ronald jackson 5/3/2026 v3.270.0
total rip off when somthing is missing trully. they dont offer comp it is so bad
★★★★ Nick Kennedy 5/3/2026 v3.270.0
absolutely shocking customer service! When I'm feeling so awful at the moment, grieving a massive loss in my life. I ordered food as I couldn't face going out or cooking...the food arrived cold and literally thrown into packaging. after back and forth with the complaint, and being passed to a manager...the outcome was simply a sorry for the bad service, but nothing we can do. I got a £1.20 refund. I barely use this service, and bow I remember why. Disgusting and upsetting
★★★★ Yuriy Agapov 5/3/2026 v3.270.0
I placed an order in Delivero, waited 30 minutes, they cancelled it, so I ordered the same thing, but it ended up being more expensive. Lost time and money...
★★★★ Squid Megasupial 5/3/2026 v3.270.0
Stop trying to steal my location data at a to sell to marketing scum. Stop pushing your notification spam on to me. Treat your users better.
★★★★ J Jerry 5/3/2026 v3.270.0
said I would get a partial refund spoke to support twice. once told it would be escalated and would get a confirmation email still have received neither
★★★★ Adam Brooks 5/2/2026
EVERY TIME I ORDER SOMETHING, THEY GET IT WRONG. THE LAST TIME WAS ADDING TOMATO TO A BURGER WHEN IM ALLERGIC
★★★★ Monét Davis-Townsend 5/2/2026 v3.270.0
app is ok. nothing special. However, the customer service is so stupid, that I genuinely want to punch my phone trying to talk to them. the same three responses, no explanations, and no fair outcomes. honestly, save yourself the hassle and walk/drive for food, because as soon as you have an issue they'll never help fix it.
★★★★ Martin Clarke 5/2/2026 v3.270.0
Some shops are clearly inactive, cancelling any orders. But no way to report or review them
★★★★ Husnain Ali 5/2/2026 v3.270.0
I am literally unable to pay for my food!?? I have tried Google pay and 3 different cards yet payment never goes through. I am on the silver plan too yet I genuinely just cant buy anything on my account. very annoying and stupid
★★★★ Ronique Mikaelson 5/2/2026 v3.270.0
might aswell you use uber eats how can I order burger then get vegan burgers instead and then they told me they can't do nothing about it
★★★★ jack lamb 5/2/2026 v3.266.0
Had a £50 gift card on my account and placed on order. Instead the app took it from my bank. No help from the customer support, completely useless. Use Just Eat instead, ive actually been able to get help from them if an order has an issue. Thanks Deliveroo, your the reason i have had to pawn off my xbox this month just so i can make rent 😊
★★★★ Sagar Kadam 5/2/2026 v3.270.0
This is really frustrating. I entered all the details, but when I try to place the order, it fails. I don’t have a card I want to pay in cash. If there is an option for cash payment, why am I getting this error?
★★★★ ADVALA ARUN AKASH 5/2/2026 v3.270.0
This is worst app. Even not doing fair to customers
★★★★ J F 5/1/2026 v3.269.2
CUSTOMER SERVICE DOESN'T CARE WHEN YOU RECEIVE SPOILED FOOD OR WRONG ORDERS. SHAME ON THEM
★★★★ David Johannes 5/1/2026 v3.270.0
Their rider took 55 minutes to deliver food from about 15 mins away. Refused to fully reimburse the cost of the meal, even after escalating. They said they can only refund a percentage of my meal. Therefore I can only rate them a percentage of the stars I was going to had they handled my complaint better.
★★★★ Sam “Slightly” Cain 5/1/2026 v3.270.0
Hasn't worked for days. App opens, shows the logo then crashes. Nothing fixes it.
★★★★ Aisling Ní Fhoghlú 5/1/2026 v3.168.1
broken- no idea why but the last few months this app has frozen my whole phone, crashes everything; clearing cache, updating, reinstalling, etc hasn't helped and it only seems to be an issue on my own phone. I've had to log in on other devices to order food and there's nothing I can seem to do to fix it
★★★★ minha fathima X-A 4/30/2026 v3.270.0
it shows only for new customers . I am the new customer. but still no discount is applying . no customer support for the new user
★★★★ jake 4/30/2026 v3.269.2
drivers cant read always ignoring my extra instructions which is a option all I ask if for them not to knock as my dog goes mental and the never read it and often deliver my stuff to other houses and they do nothing about it apart from apologise and sometimes gives a refund but that's not "possible"
★★★★ Petronald Green 4/30/2026 v3.269.2
It's ridiculous that they charge a Service Fee AND a Delivery Fee AND they still show ads on top of both of those.
★★★★ David Albert 4/29/2026 v3.270.0
Just caught one of your employees going number 2 out the front of my house. had to let the dogs out on him. he still had food to be delivered in his bag. Zero Stars.
★★★★ Shadi 4/29/2026 v3.268.1
ítem was missing and they refunded me 1 euro after making me send multiple unnecessary photos... what a joke
★★★★ Tarita King 4/29/2026 v3.242.0
The delivery drivers keep taking photos from me balcony so intrusive
★★★★ Adam 4/29/2026 v3.270.0
Buyer beware. despite being the same app and being able to see all your orders on it, subscriptions do not carry from country to country. if you say signed up to Deliveroo plus while on holiday, you'll be charged repeatedly but receive none of the features anywhere but the country where it happened. You are never told this is the case, it's not mentioned and the app doesn't even flag it up. The option to cancel your subscription just disappears when you change countries.
★★★★ Bashar 4/29/2026 v3.269.2
I rarely leave negative feedback, but this experience made me delete Deliveroo. While at work, I ordered light food for my son. The order was declined, and I thought it was a card issue. After several attempts, I found money was deducted due to a 1 dirham difference from the minimum order. The total already exceeded the required amount. Why not notify me to add an item instead of deducting money?
★★★★ Christian Streithorst 4/28/2026
App is terrible, customer service is worse my first order was 2 hours late and they put another order in the same driver, never downloading it again
★★★★ Esmael Alyousif 4/28/2026
the worst ever no respect too much delay take money and then start making excuses
★★★★ Matt Cleaver 4/28/2026 v3.268.1
So the driver forgets to deliver your full shopping order and deliveroo only refund 20% of the value. Thats fraud, stealing and discusting service. Its disturbing to think how much this company is scamming from people. I have cancelled plus and removed the app. Stay clear!
★★★★ Dani Pérez 4/28/2026 v3.269.2
⚠️ It's impossible to manually cancel the Deliveroo Plus subscription on the web or app itself. And it will also renew automatically ⚠️
★★★★ Martin aylott 4/27/2026 v3.269.2
you place an order with a estimated delivery time of 20 minutes over 1 hour later still not here and nobody to complain to via the app... dreadful customer service...
★★★★ Terry Cathrine 4/27/2026 v3.269.2
I've updated the app and it won't open.
