User reviews
glitchy. doesn't show accurate stores who participate. stopped working in the middle of a shopping trip. wouldn't allow me to log in. scanned items that showed as allowed were not covered with WIC benefits. the app also times out after about 1 min, which is ridiculous and super inconvenient, especially while shopping. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE user experience

The most recent update for extra authentication that everyone is complaining about? Yeah me too. My wife and I share shopping responsibilities, but the account is linked to her number. The fact that she has to forward me the code multiple times in one shopping trip makes this borderline unusable. This isn't a user-friendly solution at all. Update: now it won't even let me into the app at all with the texted code. Please fix this.

The app times out way too quickly and then I have wait for the text message with the verification code. Every single time I have to go through the process four or five times just to get through the grocery store on top of the fact that there isn't just a list of products that qualify like brands and sizes cuz I'm sure that would be a lot easier than having to scan 50 items to find out one of them qualifies.
