## Review summary

Overall, users like Flashfood for its ease of use, real-time deals, and many store options, and appreciate it for planning meals. However, recurring complaints point to outages and stores not posting items, inflated or opaque pricing (hidden weights/quantities), frequent reliability issues (login problems, app breaks, new layout loading failures), and pickup/address confusion (which store, correct location). Some areas also report limited store coverage. These issues appear across multiple reviews and significantly impact experience when the service is unavailable or information is unclear.

### Pros

- Easy to understand and use.
- Great deals and value.
- Wide selection of stores to choose from.
- Helpful for meal planning / deciding what to cook.
- Keeps affordable foods from going to waste.

### Cons

- Outages and stores not posting new items / missing pickups due to outages.
- Price transparency issues: inflated regular prices and hidden weights/quantities.
- App reliability and performance problems (login issues, frequent crashes, new layout loading failures).
- Pickup/location confusion: difficulty identifying exact store locations or addresses when placing pickups.
- Limited store coverage in some areas / not many participating stores.
