The Limitations You Should Know About

Here’s the thing. This grocery list manager only works at Bright Aisle grocery stores, so it’s only as useful as the local grocer signing up for this. Users have given it a mixed experience, and the app is rated about 3.7 to 3.8 stars. Many people leave reviews stating that they receive too many notifications. Even though the SmartRewards program can save shoppers money, it pings them too much. The app is also missing features that have come to be expected in grocery competition. There is no e-commerce ordering, no home delivery ordering, and no inventory search. You can’t verify if an item is in stock before you drive to the store and can’t order products for curbside pickup through the app itself. According to community reports, the app works better at some store locations than others, which can frustrate users.

Who This App Actually Serves

The proposed application caters to value-conscious consumers who shop traditionally at a same selected participating grocery store and are seeking an opportunity to digitise their retail feedback and coupon clipping activities. This system is most beneficial to customers already enrolled in the store’s loyalty program who appreciate the convenience of barcode-based point tracking. If your preference is for a rich grocery site with not only delivery but also stock checks and other retailers, you could try different sites. The app’s power is not to replace the physical shopping trip with an online order but to enhance the shopping trip with weekly ads or contextual deals. It is a useful tool for a particular audience – shoppers loyal to a single grocer looking for smartphone-enabled savings without having to pay for premium.
