Awful
It never works. I actually haven’t had something like this incite such rage in me.

Always broken
Why does this app never work? Every time I try to use it and I go to order my drink. It says sorry try again later. I have updated it. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, whatever I can think of and it happens every time. It also doesn't give me the option to redeem stars.
★★★★ Glynn p91 5/6/2026 v6.121
Used to be good.
Stars disappear too quickly, it is a scammy app and is nothing like the other fast food apps where you’re treated like a loyal customer.

Very bad
Horrible
★★★★ Masterxander000 5/4/2026 v6.121
Can’t order
Downloaded the app and attempted to order. Made me go though a whole process that closes when you swipe out to get the verification code. while I could have been waiting in line.

Gift card
A gift card can't be used to subtract from the overall balance when making a delivery order
★★★★ Dan King in San Diego 5/2/2026 v6.121
Hot coffee cold thx to app
Cool ux. But when I order with app I want it to notify me, not stay stuck on “ order being prepared “ for 30 minutes. It never updated. I had to go in and get my hot coffee cold. Next time I’ll wait in line.
★★★★ KidFromBigD 5/2/2026 v6.121
Meaningless Notifications
Today is “National Matcha Day” but celebrating in ways only a greedy overpriced coffee chain would approve: a push notification. Silence please, I decide where my attention is directed.

Reward Stars are not always properly calculated
Heads up-reward stars are not always calculated properly in the app-worth checking your account. But in this day and age should I have to take the time to call customer service to audit the system themselves.

App is completely non functional.
Have not been able to use this app for months. I have a gift card saved that I cannot access.
★★★★ Clark98123 5/1/2026 v6.121
Site not working since update
The site isn’t working since the update. It won’t show the local stores so I can’t place an online order
★★★★★ Notificationz 5/5/2026 v6.121
Mod Monday??
Went yesterday and thought it was free mod Monday, it said so in my app. So I asked the barista to scan and she said it’s not popping up, did you already use it? What?? I thought it was only one Monday a month how could I have already used it? How does this even work??
