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

Great when it works. crashes after each scan. App has been broken for months.

The app was working. Now every time I scan something the app quits. Then I have to restart it. A prompt will come up asking me if I want to start a new cart or resume the shopping trip I started. I’ve tried both options and every time I scan something, the app quits again.

Absolutely terrible app. Once it launches, you scan an item and it either blows the app away or it freezes and you have to manually close the app. I had to launch the app for every single item in my order to get it to work. In 2026, this should not be the case.
