## Review summary

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.
