★★★★ Rita Bessa 3/2/2026 v3.0.4
When you're trying to open the app everything is very slow or it doesn't open at all. Requires improvement
★★★★ Sarah Jennifer 3/28/2025 v2.8.0
Unimpressive offers, unclear how to use to redeem, and two of the restaurants I was interested in have closed down but are still on the app
★★★★ Matt Garside 5/18/2023 v2.0.1007
App is broken. Subscription not recognised yet it's being continuously rebilled. Your dev is going to cost you your entire business!
★★★★ Harry Vale 5/7/2023 v2.5.1
Map loads really slowly and my sub isn't showing anymore.
★★★★ Sarah J 4/23/2023 v2.5.1
Really disappointed with this app since the update as, like others have said, it doesn't show my membership and makes for unnecessary awkwardness when attempting to redeem the offers. Luckily most independents have been understanding, but it's really not ideal.
★★★★ Kaveeta Sehjal 3/6/2023 v2.2.1
I seem to be having the same issue as most others have been having since Feb I am paying for my membership but the card doesn't show even though it recognises an active membership Will be cancelling until it is fixed
★★★★ Steve Halil 3/4/2023 v2.2.1
Card doesn't show at all. Installed and reinstalled numerous times, yet I'm still paying a subscription
★★★★ Louise Wilkes 2/25/2023 v2.2.1
Love IB, but both myself and my myself cannot access our cards on the app, so cannot use our discounts, despite Play recognising that we have a subscription. And there is no help function on the app, so completely stuck! Help please!
★★★★ Angus Hollands 2/11/2023 v2.2.0
My partner can't use her subscription; the app does not recognise it, even though it shows up on Google Play subscriptions.
★★★★ Clive Neil 2/8/2023 v2.2.0
Since the new updates the app has become completely unusable. It no longer recognises my subscription, you cannot zoom in on the map, and once you click on a member pin you can't get rid of the pop-up with details of the member business, it just sits there. Been in email contact with developer for over a week and nothing sorted. Uninstalled and subscription cancelled.
★★★★★ T GGT 8/5/2020 v1.0
Nice Idea, execution needs improvement. Why can't I click a place form the list to show it on the map, or copy the address to the clipboard. Would be great to hook into Google Maps for directions etc. Also there doesn't seem to be a method of suggesting places. Add Sheldon Café it's great.
