User Reviews

The Giant Scan It app is widely criticized for instability and reliability issues. Reviewers report frequent crashes after scanning items, requiring repeated relaunch and re-sync; login problems and poor password-manager support; inconsistent coupon application and audit hassles; and network/WiFi requirements causing access problems. A few users note that the official red-logo app works better than the purple version and that, when functional, the app can speed self-checkout and was especially helpful during the pandemic.

Pros

When it works, scanning is fast and speeds up self-checkout (items/discounts appear quickly).
Using the official red-logo Giant app version tends to work better than the purple variant.
The app was a lifesaver for contactless shopping during the pandemic and can save time when it functions.

Cons

Frequent crashes: scanning an item often causes the app to quit, requiring relaunch and cart resync.
Login/authentication problems: can't stay signed in, password manager compatibility is poor, and credentials can be invalid.
Coupons/offers are not reliably applied, with discrepancies on receipts and the need for manual refunds or service desk intervention.
Must connect to a specific Giant WiFi network; wrong or unavailable networks prevent use in stores.
Multiple app variants (red vs purple) cause confusion and poor reliability; use the official app only.

Recent reviews

I got this app because the scanning devices in the store would often freeze, generally at the last moment when I was about to check out. This app solved that problem nicely -- for a while. Now it freezes or shuts down after EACH AND EVERY scan. It's become almost worthless. What I now do is start with the store device, and then switch over to the app if the device fails. That at least saves me from having to unload the whole bag (or more) for re-scanning.

The idea to scan and go is perfect. The app takes the scan fast but it closes each time. If you use the in store scanners my experience is about 60% they do not work, freeze or won’t work at check out. Don’t ask a staff about either one they simply do not know or are so unfriendly about it. Please fix the app!!!
