★★★★ ADRIENNE SMITH 5/3/2026 v8.1.20
People spend their time downloading this app trying to save a dollar or two,spend time clipping coupons,one by one,each coupon you clip takes forever to load,before saying it's clipped. It takes 30 minutes to go through clipping them,then when I go to the store the cashier rushes through so fast I don't have time to put my phone number in.Last night I had to keep the items I was buying in my arms,so I'd have time to enter my number.App needs work,so do employees.UPDATE: STILL SAME. App dont work
★★★★ Judy Sweeney 5/3/2026
Will not allow me to change my password
★★★★ Whisper Jeanne 5/3/2026
The store at 5947 E. 66th. Ave. in Commerce City has a manager Chris who is inappropriate and creepy.
★★★★ Karen Haag 5/2/2026 v8.1.20
the creating account process is so annoying and tedious. it doesnt even send the code to verify. typing this rn it has taken 1 whole hour and i still am unable to make an account.
★★★★ Charles Kennington 5/1/2026
sucks. won't let me clip any coupons or change my store. I only give it to one because I can't get it less
★★★★ XOXO 5/1/2026 v8.1.20
Check nearby stores functions don't work on most items. It always has the message on the screen "an error has occurred, please try again later". That error has never been resolved since I started to use the app. I already setup a default store, but it always asks to select a store again when using that function.
★★★★ Trish Myers 4/26/2026 v8.1.20
won't let you reset password
★★★★ Steven Bessent 4/24/2026 v8.1.20
Every since the update, it's as slow as can be, and logs you out while clipping things. it's trash.
★★★★ Ryan Mason 4/23/2026 v8.1.20
Aside from there always being a "technical error on our end" whenever there is a decent coupon, none of the other coupons ring up at the register as advertised. Had a coupon for $2.50 off 2 malt-o-meal cereals, and at the register it gave me 50¢ off each. I'm uninstalling because I've never NOT had an issue trying to use the app, and the bait and switch is just not worth my time or frustration.
★★★★ Isabel Martinez 4/20/2026
service its very badly
★★★★ Misty Truitt 4/20/2026 v8.1.2
I want to uninstall it, but IT WON'T UNINSTALL!!!
★★★★ Love Music 4/11/2026
This app is cloned. Please remove all devices from this app.
★★★★ Nathan Green 4/4/2026 v8.1.18
rarely does it ever clip coupons. keep getting the loading wheel of death and it crashes the app. May need your IT people to fix it.
★★★★ Moug Darshal 4/4/2026

★★★★ S W 4/3/2026 v8.1.18
this app totally suck! I will not shop at this store jst because I want my discounts. log in suck getting coupons suck the app sucks!
★★★★ Casey Dawn 3/29/2026 v8.1.18
prices are deceptive and should be held to high scrutiny for this manipulative, obviously illegal bait and hook scheme.
★★★★ Susan Hartley 3/28/2026 v8.1.18

★★★★ Nacy Nicks 3/27/2026 v8.1.11

★★★★ TATW Ward 3/25/2026 v8.1.17

★★★★ Angela Butler 3/22/2026 v8.1.15
Worst app ever. Can't clip on phone or computer. Subpar!
★★★★ New Stylus 3/18/2026
Digital Coupons!!! They do not clip and do not work!!! so no point keeping this in my phone or to shop there
★★★★ Dean Dellinger 3/17/2026 v8.1.17
This is for the store in Italy, TX. I bought Breyeres ice cream today and it may as well been a turd log. was the darker brown and condensed and so gross. it's are far overpriced compared to DG and other stores in my area. I've never had a food quality issue like this before. I have worked for grocery chains and this was by far the worst item I have ever paid too much for. Employees are great btw! very friendly and helpful. With a dual DT/DG they need more help to cover quality control
★★★★ Rj Gallagher 3/10/2026 v8.1.17
Worthless app. Locks up every time on my Google Pixel 9.
★★★★ Jess 3/7/2026 v8.1.17
worst app it is constantly crashing or it the for ever to load when you can an item. half the time it doesn't show then I have to take it up to the cashier and have to get a annoyed attitude for asking I see why they are losing business
★★★★ Vincent Lewis 3/7/2026 v8.1.17
It always freezes about five seconds after opening the app. If I am quick enough , I may be able to clip a coupon. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
★★★★ Sylvia De la Rosa 3/7/2026 v8.1.17
El app está muy mal, no puedes escanear productos
★★★★ D C 3/7/2026

★★★★★ Wendy Hermann 5/5/2026 v8.1.20
Several items on the app that show as in our store, are in fact NOT sold in our store.
★★★★★ Alice Detamore 4/30/2026
I never am able to see my stores weekly ad.
★★★★★ Kenyada Switzer 4/30/2026 v8.1.20
There appears to still be issues.. Attempted today to confirm and same thing. For the past couple of weeks if I attempt to Clip a Coupon the system just does a rotating circle like it is thinking and then it appears that it never clips the Coupon. Made my purchases anyways at the local Family Dollar store and received no coupon savings, which confirms that the coupons aren't saving.....To add to this I attempted to clip coupons by logging into my account on the Family Dollar, it doesn't clip it.
★★★★★ Bobbie Barron 4/18/2026
do not trust the app to not release my personal info & phone number.
★★★★★ Winter Gaggley 4/9/2026 v8.1.19
takes forever to load and you can be looking at a product in store and unless you scan the barcode you will not find it on the app I have rarely been able to find something that I'm searching for that I know they have in store on the app example I saw a beautiful yellow dress that I wasn't sure what fit my daughter and I forgot to take a picture and I can't find it anywhere on the app but I know they have it in store I was there last night when I search dress they show me toilet paper
★★★★★ Mary Williams 3/28/2026 v8.1.17
Just recently uploaded this app. I had it in the past it keep messing up so I uninstall it over a year ago. it still has my info. I need a new password and when I go to reset a new password it wont do it. it keeps telling me my time has run out. but it wont let me set up a new account either cause I already had a account. I guess I'll just keep shopping Dollar General that app runs just fine. family dollar thanks for nothing.
★★★★★ Mike Smith 3/6/2026 v8.1.17
Works on phone but won't work on my computer if I sign in to my account.
