Schnucks Rewards +4

Schnucks wanting to give us an updated coupon experience means you can no longer see when coupons expire. This is good how?! I prefer to see when they expire. This only benefits Schnucks and frustrates customers. To me, this equals less coupons I'll clip. Also, if the Cardinals hit a home run, you can get a free donut the next day. Sometimes you can click on the free donut button as much as you want and it will never be clipped, even if you click it as early as 10 AM. I can't believe all 10,000 free donuts have been clipped for the day already that early in the morning. I've been able to clip it in the evenings sometimes and still get a free donut.

I love the whole blinking light on the items tag in the store when I’m having a hard time locating something. I like that we can zoom in on images now too. But that’s frill stuff. It’s fluff. The thing the app MUST do is retain our lists accurately and it does not do that. What I HATE and get so freaking angry about is random items being DELETED from our shopping list. Or the account not syncing. I’ll add something to the list and TWELVE HOURS LATER it’s still not showing on my husband’s phone despite being logged in to the same account. And don’t even try to say that we should be having our own accounts, because I don’t know any household that has separate shopping lists on every phone. Every other shopping app does this beautifully Walmart, Costco, Sam’s... You guys do not. It’s the worst.

Oh and let’s talk about random items being ADDED to our list that we didn’t add. My husband usually does the shopping because it’s right by his work. At least he’s a smart guy and when he sees something odd he’ll ask before buying. But I can never tell what is actually on his list and if it matches what’s on the list I made. I can’t tell you how many times he has come home and he’s missing many items that I had on the list but he didn’t buy them because they weren’t on his!! SERIOUSLY?

This is the kind of thing that makes this app completely useless. Get it together. It’s 2023 and this is basic functionality.

This app is the reason I shop at Schnucks. I love how well the barcode scanner works, how the items are listed by aisle and have their price listed, and how they even have a ton of delicious recipes included with an easy way to add the ingredients.

I just have three small requests:

1) Fix app syncing. This used to work perfectly, but now I can no longer comfortably shop knowing that the items my wife added to the list are all showing up. Often, we both have to manually pull to refresh for all items to appear. This has led to several missed items, emergency return trips to Schnucks, and several “we’re not using this app anymore!” exclamations from my wife.

2) Add a favorites section. There are a lot of items that I buy frequently. I typically will just not check them off my list so I know when they go on sale. But then if they’re always on my list, I don’t know if I actually need them or not. So my suggestion is to add a way to star items. These would appear at the bottom of the list and can easily be added to the list when needed.

3) Make quantities other than 1 more pronounced. Multiple times I’ve missed an item because my wife put to get 2 but I didn’t see it. Do something to make it more obvious when the quantity is anything other than 1.
