★★★★ ZILLA 6/13/2026 v3.8.0
doesn't work, signs me out and refuses to let me sign in saying incorrect password, when you try reset doesn't send email to reset and then I made new account and it got disabled due to security issue pretty bad app.

★★★★ g kendrick 6/7/2026 v3.7.0
very difficult to navigate
★★★★ Neil McDougall 6/7/2026 v3.8.0
logging in to the new app is so painful. Terrible
★★★★ Gar “GazzaBo” 6/6/2026 v3.7.0
Awful app. don't work. I registered and sent me an email to say i am now in, but on the app it denies access for some bizarre security reason. Ive never had any issues with your competitors apps, they have registered and worked immediately. Get it sorted. as this puts off new customers. having to ring your customer relations which is only open in the week. absolutely useless. dare say probably wont recommend Green king to friends.
★★★★ Timothy Gunther 6/6/2026 v3.7.0
unusable. cant login. bring back the old app
★★★★ Jane Hewitt 6/3/2026 v3.7.0
I can't register. I get the security number and proceed to register and I keep getting whoops something went wrong try again later 🙅‍♀️
★★★★ Stefan Hughes 6/1/2026 v3.7.0
can't login - sports app discontinuing but this app doesn't work at all, just displays a "Not Found" post login credentials. useless
★★★★ Eileen Cunningham 6/1/2026 v3.7.0
Useless
★★★★ Jonathan Leaver 5/31/2026 v3.7.0
Register button shows you some Rick Astley lyrics. hacked?
★★★★ Andrew Douglas 5/31/2026
doesnt work
★★★★ Danny Hussain 5/31/2026 v3.7.0
Everytime I click sign up, you rick roll me. What the hell is that about?
★★★★ Flex 5/31/2026 v3.7.0
I ordered a drink, waited over 20 minutes, used the app as I had the dog with me outside. Completely pointless, they didn't know about the order until I went inside, I had to tie the dog up and go inside to resolve. The app even let me order a drink they didn't have in stock, so I'm going to uninstall if it's this unreliable.
★★★★ Art 5/29/2026 v3.7.0
i cant order food if I dont have allergy, funny. also having a counter only for app users in the app with 50 meter queue is a great move.
★★★★ Jon Smith 5/28/2026 v3.7.0
App is total rubbish. Just keeps asking to sign up. You do that then it says login failed. Ill stick to Wetherspoons.
★★★★ Allan Stevens 5/26/2026 v3.7.0
please go back to the old version. can't login or register.
★★★★ Gary Dickson 5/22/2026 v3.7.0
I'll be uninstalling app as soon as food arrives. Wouldn't need to have installed it if you put enough staff on, rather than penny pinching on your wage bill.
★★★★ Mark Lloyd 5/22/2026 v3.7.0
couldn't get on it
★★★★ Phil Anthony 5/16/2026 v3.6.1
Downloaded, ordered a remote delivery drink, over half an hour later no sight of it, had to flag down a waitress who very kindly poured me the drink and confirmed I had completed the ordering process correctly
★★★★ Andrew Feely-Crawford 5/15/2026 v3.6.1
Wow, new thing with sports app integration. My 10% has expired, others have got 15% for sports my app ... has nothing. Keep the original sports app this looks like it's going to be a nightmare!
★★★★ Paul Sanders 5/11/2026 v3.6.1
absolutely shocking app , crashes every time I open it , or change something and has on 2 occasions charge me twice for the same meal , with a message saying something had gone wrong , go on my bank to discover it had taken the money twice. total scam of an app
★★★★ stephen Forrester 5/10/2026 v3.6.1
updated the app and now will not let you collect rewards not good when you go to the restaurant?
★★★★ Gary Hawes 5/10/2026 v3.6.1
cant register due to security reasons no i am not ringing a number to sort it out deleted
★★★★ G W 5/10/2026
worked for them what a load of trash
★★★★ Richard Heap 5/9/2026
DON'T USE THE PAYPAL OPTION, THEY KNOW IT DOESN'T WORK. I recently ordered food and used PayPal option, payment went through but the order did not. The staff said "oh yes, that does happen, we have had this before". They said there is nothing they can do, if you want food you will have to pay again using a card. Why offer an option that is going to cause the customer such huge inconvenience?!
★★★★ Alistair Bremner 5/7/2026 v3.6.1
cannot get on to the app I want after stating try again later when I had a pass code 🙃
★★★★ Paul Graham 5/5/2026 v3.6.1
App keeps closing when you search for a venue 😤.. Reloaded and cleared cache but no joy!
★★★★ Glenn D 5/5/2026 v3.6.1
Not working correctly
★★★★ Bob Dobbalina 5/5/2026 v3.6.1
Doesn't work. When I try to create an account, it says sign in has been temporarily denied for security reasons. I'm unable to log in. Tried with 3 different emails, same thing every time. Tried resetting password, but no password reset link arrives.
★★★★ Martyn Bulley 5/2/2026 v3.6.1
Very disappointed Visited Tamar inn in Plymouth, the main menu was very limited, no pies, no tartar sauce, only one dessert available.
★★★★ David Hogg 4/24/2026 v3.6.1
app is no use. options available on physical menu, that are not on the app menu (swapping items out etc). also, page to log in is "not found".
★★★★ JAK 4/23/2026 v3.6.1
can't sign in says NOT FOUND app is deeply bugged
★★★★ rion lewis 4/21/2026 v3.5.0
it seems like a good app and I am a fan of Greene king but I'm unable to use the app because after I made an account it wouldn't let me log back in or even make another account after logging in wouldn't work. update, I sent an email to the provided email and have not received a response plus my account has now been suspended, I hadn't even gotten a chance to use it yet.
★★★★ john Turner 4/20/2026
will not let me sign in been trying for weeks
★★★★ John Cathro 4/14/2026 v3.6.1
I downloaded this app when it came out, I also have the Ember Inn, Vintage Inn, Wetherspoon and Marstons not a problem with any of them, bar this one, it has continually shown Error try later on every attempt to register, I have turned off my VPN, updated all and uninstalled and reinstalled and still does not work, Green King have taken over Hungry Horse and advise to download the app. WHY it does not work and therefore not fit for purpose. Poor Very Poor
★★★★ Graeme Toon 4/12/2026 v3.6.1
2026: 7 years on and still terrible, have to pay extra to include sauces already included for steak, have to choose an option where the only option is gluten free (no no allergies option) awful. 2019: 20 mins trying to order via the app, gave up, nothing loads properly and cant pay
★★★★ Marc 4/12/2026 v3.6.1
always so slow
★★★★ Michael Brown 4/11/2026 v3.6.1
won't even let you log in. had to go to the main website in order to create an account but still won't even let you log in. deleted and redownloaded the app and STILL crashes the moment you try to either log in or create an account. 5 of us sat here trying everything we can think of an have concluded it's just bad and a waste of time!
★★★★ Joe White 4/10/2026 v3.6.1
Why let me get through 10 minutes of placing an order on the app, take payment into pending to *then* say the app can't be used because it needs updating? Baffled.
★★★★ john eveson 4/8/2026 v3.5.0
no real ale on tap
★★★★ Megan Gillard 4/7/2026 v3.5.0
I have tried to log in and it refuses every single time. Tried on wifi and mobile data, tried two different email addresses.And I've tried changing my password. Everytime it just tells me something went wrong and to try again. And, as far as I'm aware there's no way to troubleshoot it or get help.
★★★★ Mark Nagle 4/7/2026 v3.5.0
Lazy table service and nasty food. Dumped our first drinks on a tray and left the tray. Food came quick but oh god what is in the burgers? dripping fat everywhere is not nice. Coleslaw what can I say but looked very dodgy I could not eat it. Second drinks were delivered with a splash of my drink over my wife. Dropping a knife on my grandson was pretty much the final straw. Really very poor quality and service
★★★★ Tom Duckworth 4/6/2026 v3.5.0
right after ordering, they signed me up to receive spam mail. no way to undo, and they steal your email address. I will remember to put fake email in next time, as they only take it to sell your details on. we were forced to use the app to order too because when we tried to order at the bar, the bar staff were too busy chatting and serving their friends and intentionally ignoring the customers waiting.
★★★★ Clare Allen 4/3/2026 v3.5.0
I just cant get on the app..ive used different codes..put my name and date of birth like the app asked and it keeps saying somethings gone wrong 😳🙄
