★★★★ Peter Nguyen 5/1/2026 v2.3.1
The app takes in more orders than the store is capable of servicing so you end up going waiting 45 minutes and then they tell you that they ran out of ingredients.. ridiculous set up
★★★★ Ryan Chen 4/29/2026 v2.3.0
network error 24/7 can't sign in can't order anything useless
★★★★ User 1 4/23/2026 v2.3.0
online order paused
★★★★ Bob Noname 4/11/2026 v2.2.4
Said my tea was still being prepared, but it was ready so I was waiting for a while for no reason
★★★★ Hana Kim 4/6/2026 v2.2.4
really frustrating when the app doesn't let you do the one thing it's downloaded for payments don't go through and wait times at heytea are way too long to justify in person order. extremely poor service
★★★★ Kyle Olney 4/2/2026 v2.2.4
totally non-functional on Android
★★★★ Nan 3/29/2026 v2.2.3
don't understand why need an app to see order status.
★★★★ jamey 3/15/2026
I should not need to make an account and give unlimited camera access to check the status of my order
★★★★ Natalia Jagielska 3/13/2026
Got warning from my phone system that the app is a virus
★★★★ Phleonne Olasiman 3/11/2026 v2.2.1
I had tried to order multiple times through the app, but it keeps my payment selection to google Pay. I want to change and add my own card, still it wont let me. edit: I have been processing my card details to order. Yet it still keeps me out of processing my order as it prevents my card to be recognised. Everytime I try to confirm order, it says payment of $0.00.
★★★★ Marc S. 3/1/2026 v2.2.1
garbage app never works for android
★★★★ S O 2/27/2026 v2.2.1
The app never works
★★★★ S Y 2/21/2026
Dumb app cant even add/validate my credit card despite it properly going through my bank app. Cant order at all.
★★★★ Scott Au 2/17/2026 v2.2.1
Stupid app that isn't even available to order. Always closed as temporary unavailable.
★★★★ Avery Khoo 2/14/2026 v2.2.1
predicted queue time is not just wrong but intentionally so, you'll need to "poke" the order to prevent it from being deprioritized
★★★★ Nigel Ng 1/18/2026 v2.1.3
They force you to dl this app to check queue status which is not accurate AND you need to give your personal details to even check the queue status. This is ridiculous.
★★★★ Kathy L. 1/17/2026 v2.1.3
stuck waiting forever bc the app didn't tell us that the order was ready and didn't get our drinks until I checked up on it and now our drinks are melted
★★★★ Jonathan Shum 12/9/2025 v2.1.0
Unable to do any online order, always network error, also virus detected after recent update.
★★★★ Izfm 12/6/2025
Virus detected once downloaded. Rubbish apps
★★★★ Monty Robison 11/27/2025 v2.0.1
couldn't scan qr code from store or find where too
★★★★ FONG JIAO HOH 11/9/2025 v2.0.1
非常差的design有时候找个东西都难找 designer设计考虑不周到
★★★★ Mirrrah S 11/9/2025 v2.0.1
the coupon can't be claimed. especially the free drink coupon one
★★★★ Olivia Johnson 11/5/2025 v2.0.1
I downloaded this app and it never once worked. I try to look at the menu network issues. I try to order, network issues. I try to put in my phone number, network issues. Both on and off wifi, network issues. It worked for a moment, but as soon as I tried to go to the delivery page or the coupons page, network issues.
★★★★ Jin-Keat Lim 10/29/2025
network is down for a few days so can't redeem points before expiration
★★★★ Mattias McAndrew 10/20/2025 v2.0.0
"ordering tea online is unavailable" through the app. when you get a receipt from ordering in store, the app can't read the QR code to be able to track it. makes it a useless app.
★★★★ Amal Lama 10/13/2025 v2.0.0
I can't even sign up because its not sending me a verification code.
★★★★ Garret Liang 10/10/2025
Why they design and publish this APP but cannot let you order online.
★★★★ jGo 9/23/2025 v1.5.2
ordered to deliver at my work, I entered correct address and zip code, they use Uber to deliver, which received the wrong address and it's on the other side of Manhattan from where I work. I called Uber, they said they can't do anything to help. I called the heytea site that I ordered from, they said they can't do anything to help, and can't refund.
★★★★ Bih-Jen Wang 8/9/2025 v1.4.4
can't log in, keep saying unusual log in activity
★★★★ Daniel Chu 8/2/2025 v1.4.4
nothing is available to order on the app
★★★★ c yee 7/22/2025 v1.4.4
always a network hiccup
★★★★ TC 7/18/2025 v1.4.4
cant even login- unusual activity? what? i just installed the app
★★★★ Linda Bao (baottousai) 7/11/2025 v1.4.4
I've tried every method of signing up (email, google, fb, phone number) and keep getting network error/login fail.
★★★★ Kelvin Chan 7/10/2025 v1.4.3
Online Order function is always unavailable, and to make things worse, you cannot upload receipts to redeem points...
★★★★ SGL 7/1/2025 v1.4.3
次次都強制英文語言,永遠記唔住你settings裏邊選擇中文,相當無腦
★★★★ Paul Baird 6/25/2025 v1.4.3
constant network drops
★★★★ Seunghoon Lee 6/21/2025 v1.4.3
does not work for android samsung phone. very bad app.
★★★★ Quoc Lam 6/5/2025 v1.4.2
can't make an account due to suspicious device
★★★★ Son Ngo 6/1/2025 v1.4.2
I like the store but the scam they pull with this app is making me lose trust in the brand. Online order never works and they tricked you with so-called rewards that can only be applied for app orders. Makes zero sense. So stay away from this app at all cost and don't expect any loyalty program. I am sure when the hype dies down this brand will struggle to retain customers' trust.
★★★★ Sam 5/25/2025
The app is straight up broken. Can't access any features including sign up. Everything fails when you try to process something.
★★★★ Jonathan Chu 5/12/2025 v1.4.2
when I tried to sign up, the app went back to the front page when I checked my email to get verification code. when I try to register again, it says I tried too many times. so I am unable to register and use this app
★★★★ hahahou -.- 4/26/2025 v1.4.1
Cant even log in or sign up trash
★★★★ Khadz 4/11/2025
if I could give 0 I would. the app is unusable. I try to log in/sign up and it keeps saying network error.
★★★★ Clement Lee 4/5/2025 v1.4.1
Another rubbish app forced on your phone. They force you to scan a QR code to check your order status, which you must then download this app and give them your email and permissions to access your phone camera and other settings. Major red flag, I'm not buying Heytea next time.
★★★★ Ziheng Wang 3/29/2025 v1.4.1
Totally unusable such a stupid app that merely any function works properly
★★★★ Calvin Huan 3/9/2025 v1.4.0
Horrible interface. Logs me out when I need to place order. Does not send verification code to Hotmail.
★★★★ A Leo 3/8/2025
Stuck on the order screen. Too complicated
★★★★ sharon Akins 2/23/2025 v1.4.0
What is it so you can scan or add receipt?
★★★★ cclusi 2/18/2025 v1.4.0
when refreshing my order, it automatically says order completed without me picking up my order. why?
★★★★ Rita Bessa 2/13/2025
The app simply doesn't work. It's a total waste of time.
