★★★★ Ricky Yuen 6/24/2026 v2.0.5
DO NOT PLACE YOUR ORDERS ON THE APP! I ordered an entree and a dessert, they charged my card immediately. When I got to the restaurant to pick up my food, they were out of the dessert. No problem, I'll take a refund. THE RESTAURANT CAN'T REFUND YOU IF YOU ORDER ON THE APP! They told me to call the support line in the app to get a refund! I waited for a manager who said she would put in my refund tonight, but since it had to go through corporate it would take 5-7 business days! What a scam!
★★★★ Latasha Chaney 6/21/2026
don't like it
★★★★ John Yun 6/7/2026 v2.0.5

★★★★ Jenna K 5/30/2026 v2.0.5
does not work! can't complete order
★★★★ Lisa Reyes 5/8/2026 v2.0.0
not that easy to navigate, if a reward expires you should refresh it w a new date, I only got the app because it offered a free slice WITH PURCHASE, couldn't get there for my birthday slice either. you really get nothing for being a customer here and you constantly take great things off the menu. I canceled my order and will be deleting this app
★★★★ K W 5/3/2026 v1.0.4
I can't get past verifying I'm a human 🤦🏻‍♀️
★★★★ San Pham 5/3/2026
Can't get past the verification after logging in.
★★★★ Peter Reinold 5/3/2026 v1.0.4
amazing food but otherwise the worst. can't sign up, no responses to my email and promotion period ending soon. their rewards program is one of the worst available. don't sign up, as you never will get any help or answer if you run into issues and it will drive you mad.
★★★★ Mike 4/26/2026 v1.0.4
doesn't work
★★★★ Desiree Berg 4/26/2026 v1.0.4

★★★★ Mari M 4/25/2026 v1.0.4

★★★★ Kei Faë 4/24/2026 v1.0.4
It doesn't recognize my zip code when I go to pay. I've ordered through the website plenty of times just fine.
★★★★ David P 4/24/2026
can't even signup
★★★★ C H (CH) 4/23/2026
I got coupons for free free slices but I couldn't use them on the app nor the website. This app is not worth the time.
★★★★ Wolf 4/23/2026 v6.0.1
Hahahaha almost got me with the free slice. "new menu" everything is $4 more expensive lmaoo kma
★★★★ Tami S 4/22/2026 v1.0.4
My husband and I each have our own accounts and neither one of us can log in. Says we need verification but there's no option to do so - just a perpetual cheesecake image. Also, not receiving verification codes to neither one of our phones.
★★★★ Chirag Suthar 4/22/2026 v1.0.4
Whoever decided to let this app go out without having a testing team have a go at it first.... Tried signing up 3 times. did not work! Using this app made me wanna throw my phone to the ground! (It was quite the frustration).
★★★★ kavya a 4/20/2026 v6.0.1
I'm not sure what is happening with the app right now. I get an OTP every time I try to log in, but i also get a message saying, " User account does not exist."
★★★★ Christian Agagas 4/18/2026 v6.0.1
Still waiting on my text message to create an account.
★★★★ Kiyata Branker-Tillman 4/17/2026
I have tried for a week to sign up. I've tried through Google and through Apple. It gives me an internal error notification. I give up 😞
★★★★ Frederica E 4/17/2026 v6.0.1
Does not work
★★★★ Geri Ensminger 4/17/2026 v6.0.1
download completed by cheesecake employee. spent 35 minutes with this kind young man who was trying to help me. our waiter came up to the counter and he tried to help. finally a manager came up and she couldn't figure it out either. bottom line was that my friend and I were lured into the Cheesecake Factory by a note on the door advertising the free slice. after spending a total of 45 minutes trying to get help. we never did get our free slices of cheesecake. if signing up for this is so compli
★★★★ jane patterson 4/11/2026 v6.0.1
why in God's name does this company insist on deleting my gift cards on my account if I need to reset my password or if I want to use their app? UFB!
