1★There seems to be an issue with the app functioning correctly when transferring information to the McDonald's franchise that is closest to me. 1st time I ended up wasting the 8 dollars. This was a year ago. Today, I assumed you all made improvements....but no. It happened again today, except I was able to back track and get it resubmitted. (I will be checking to make sure I wasn't charged twice.)

1★this app CONSISTENTLY places my order at the further location when two McDonald's are nearby and I am placing my order in the parking lot. Even after I select the correct address, at some point, the app decides to change the address. There is no option to edit or change address after the order has been placed so I always have to drive 10 minutes to ANOTHER McDonald's despite being in the parking lot for one.

2★The app"was"convenient, fast, and I appreciated the deals.That has since changed. I'm required to uninstall and re-download just to clear my previous order and have lost out on $32. There's the issue of being unable to add my gift cards to the app making it impossible to use both. The most upsetting is shakes are NEVER available in the PM.I'm told the"machine is down." The AM, no prob. My child is battling cancer & shakes are all he can keep down, it would be nice to get one when he wants one!

1★app is incredibly glitchy. it crashes constantly. I can't actually submit an order. I try to add something to cart, and the cart disappears. when the cart finally came back, it showed i had 16 items from all my failed attempts. when I removed 15 of the 16 items and submitted my order, I kept getting errors. mostly it kept saying "that didnt work. looks like an order is already in progress." another time, it said that all the different pick up options closed "counter service closed at 9:30".

1★Recently, I have had so many bugs. first, it crashed and it said I used points when I didn't and I was not able to get them back. Then I tried to order and my shopping cart would not pop-up so I couldn't hit confirm order and place it. this was after trying to contact customer support, (which was no help) and uninstalling and reinstalling. Also on top of that, there's been a multipe times where I ordered something from the monopoly menu which said it would come with a code only for it not to.
