Used to use this to keep my shopping list in addition to scanning at checkout to get my Prime discounts. Recently the shopping list will randomly duplicate entries. I put in one item and when I reopen the app later that item shows up 3 separate times on the list. It also loses entries often enough that I no longer can rely on it.

This app is very disappointing, it is seriously lacking functionality. There is no way to scan bar codes, there is no product search bar, or a favorites list, or a way to search the stores inventory. You have a lot of work to do to make this app work as a stand alone shopping app for it to be truly functional. You might even want to make it so we can log in with a finger print scan. Thanks

I'm very dissatisfied with this app. I was expecting it to be similar to Wegman's or even Amazon's app. I want to search the store's inventory and add things to a cart. It would be nice if it synced with my Amazon Whole Foods cart. I was excited to get the app because I saw that you could make lists (kind of like in Wegman's app), but I don't see myself using it. I would use it if it synced with my Amazon Whole Foods cart. Oh well.

It is very strange that a grocery store app does not allow the user to create a shopping list. So this means I have to see what the Prime deals are, and if I'm interested in anything, I have to write it down somewhere else. The only use for this app is to scan the barcode in order to get your Prime deals. Either Whole Foods or Amazon needs to work on this app to greatly improve the user experience if they want to encourage potential shoppers to go there.

I want to see the entire ad in the app, not just some of the items on sale. There is no option to view a PDF of the WF ad. Otherwise it is a very basic app. You can only scan your Prime code, look at A FEW of the ad items, and (maybe) update your phone number. Although, as of right now I can't update my number, I keep getting an error, and it says something about unlinking my phone number. Oh well.

Wanted to start shopping at Whole Foods and this app literally won't let me. I'm unable to add anything to the "list" and if I want to add something to the cart it ports you over to the Amazon app which doesn't allow you to filter foods by specialty?!?! So my entire reason for shopping Whole Foods is because I want more vegan options and I'm not allowed to filter by those options, doesn't make a ton of sense. And when you are able to filter, you cannot add to a list, much less a cart.

Needs more features. Like other stores that offer you a preferred payment setup option for checkout, a place to apply gift cards to your account, a feature which allows you to view items and also add them to your list/cart. And so on.. This app doesn't offer much. Aside from the scan code you use at checkout and the prime deals section this is basically pointless to have. This would be a great app if It actually had more features.

Lazy app. I can't zoom in on products to inspect nutrition info. It's also a hassle to scroll because I'll be scrolling through, I'll find something interesting and I'll tap it to go to the product page, but when I try to go back to the list, it starts me off at the very top rather than where I was at. It isn't a terrible app which is why I gave 3 stars, but I definitely wouldn't consider it usable for nutrition info. I'd rather browse their website on a computer or even mobile browser than app

It's ok to see sales (the APP, which is what this rating system is supposed to be for, right? Not the store or the integration of the Amazon prime code use in the store... Ijs), but that's it! It is quite disappointing to not be able to order groceries and take advantage of the free 2-hr Prime delivery. What is that even for if one can't order groceries online? That's just odd to me. Perhaps I'm having a "Duh" moment. Anyone else feel the same?

Way too minimal. It needs a search function and the ability to build shopping lists. I actually work at Sprouts (I like shopping at Whole Foods for their vegan options) and their app is SO much better. Coupons are organized, you can build shopping lists, you can search for products and see current pricing/sales. Most grocery store apps are like this so it would definitely make it more convenient to shop if Whole Foods could do the same.

Wow what a useless garbage app. It's basically just a placeholder for the prime scan code and a small scroll bar for a couple but not all of the prime sale items at a location. That is it. Fix it please. 1. Have all the sale items. 2. Have a search so I can find those sale items. 3. Most of all have 'saved searches with alerts' to when something I am searching for does come on sale. 4. Create shopping lists. Do that and maybe I would be visiting WF more than once every 3 months.

This app just doesn't measure up to Whole Foods image. Invariably when I look for store specials it fails, giving mean an "Oh snap" message that something has gone wrong. I find that trying to use it just wastes my time, and I usually just don't bother going to the store. I use apps from four other area grocery stores and never have such problems. Very frustrating.

Awful! I spent HOURS as a health coach creating a shoppingist for a client and it randomly saves some items and not others, and if you click on an item to view, it scrolls you all the way back to the top, instead of what you were currently viewing. BIG HUGE time waste. For a company this big, IT needs to get on the app. It would be nice to be able to use the feature reliably for clients.

This app is very poorly designed and lacks what should be obvious functionalities. Yes, you can use it to scan your Amazon Prime QR code at checkout and you can scroll and scroll and scroll through an unorganized list of Prime specials but that's it. There is no sorting-by-category option for viewing the specials. There is no way to save the specials that you want as a list. Also, you cannot search for products.

This is a really meager app experience for Amazon brand. I am mostly interested in a list feature when I use a store app. The design of this is less intuitive than others. There is a reason why apps can be a bit similar. Certain designs just work. I would like a list that features the exact aisle and price of the items. Also, the total cost of the list. I was looking at a bag of onions, and it doesn't even list the weight. You have to actually make an effort to be better than a paper list.

Good, not great. But only when it works. As other reviews state, this gives you a qr code to scan for discounts and such. The list of deals would be great if there was a way to sort. My biggest problem though is that it constantly crashes. I'm always having to reinstall over and over because I get an error message after reloading the app. It'll work for a few days before I have to reinstall. Edit: messaged support as per the dev reply. Got no help and had an agent that put 0 effort. Thanks?

I like the store, but the app has too many problems for an Amazon product. Returning to search from a product brings me back to the top instead of where I was, and the phone back button brings me back to the last tab instead of returning me to the search. Products should also show you what aisle they're on. The sales page has a horizontal scroll which causes things to move around, and also does not link to search/products, only the list. See other reviews for even more/worse issues.

Terrible. You can select a store near you and it shows you prices of sale items and it shows your store you selected. Yet, when you click on the magnifying glass to just find any item, your favorite store search is gone, it won't save the favorite store when you try to select it and then it just shows the item and no price. Really? I've wasted time deleting and reloading the app and it still keeps doing it. Have had the app for years now and just started doing this a couple months ago AAAHH..SMH

The app no longer shows prices? It's show prime sales on the front page and that is it. Disappeara when you click on the item and no any other item you can see a price.... So you can only check if they have the item. And also can't filter beyond the main category of frozen, seafood, produce etc so you have to go through every item to find a popsicles mixed in with all the other from the category. But seriously.... No prices? Useless app. Even the cc link doesn't work at my store. Useless.

When I first downloaded the app, I would've given it a 4.5, but I've had to downgrade over time. The biggest reason is that they've removed the price from most items (recent update), excluding sales. I liked being able to plan my shopping trip and knowing how much I would pay when I went to the store. It also used to be that the app was pretty accurate to what the store carried, but that's gradually become less accurate. Bring back the prices!
