This used to be so good, and helped me with budgeting before leaving the house. But now it frequently does not show specials on my fav lists at all, so I am completely clueless at how much my shop is likely to cost. Looking at other reviews I am not the only one, so it seems that the creators dont give a damn anymore.
I use this app every weekend to keep within my budget. But need to be able to enter 0.2 as quantity of bulk goods that are charged by weight. Also some products listed as "not in my store" when they clearly are, cause I buy them there. Reduced rating because now it does not even show discounts when I compile my list. Aggravating.
I used to love this app and recommended it to everyone. Now I cannot see any way to copy selected items to another list so it is not functional. My local shop layout is completely wrong since the shop was reformatted last year.
This was one my favorite apps but lately it does not work. No special prices come up so can't budget like I used too.
Prices outdated and is not a true reflection of current prices. Even after reporting this to Customer Care, no reply from them at all. USELESS APP.
Very slow, very unstable with regular crashes, takes forever and is unintuitive to change store since I go to two and have to change it every time. Not cool.
Without this feature this app is next to useless. To create a shopping list you would have to reenter everything as you can not copy from the master list.So time consuming. This has been a problem since April and it is now Oct 6 months later. How come it is not fixed yet? Come on not good enough. 1 1/2 years later and still waiting for an update which they say they listen to feed back and update what a joke. I get excited when my Samsung S5 says you have new updates and I get very dissappointed when Countdown is not one of them. If only they would fix this it would I would use it every week but I can't. Can it really be that hard to fix this or is no one (which I suspect) in charge of development of this app or maybe they do not care.
I used to love this app, could budget every week but now none of the specials come up and can't show me the mailer for the week too. Very disappointed.
I should be able to tap my phone instead of using a physical Onecard. Surely that's the only reason anyone would use this app. I already pay with my phone but it's a pain because I still need to pull out my wallet for the Onecard. Also: this app still has targetSdkVersion Gingerbread; hilarious.
Confusing, outdated and slow UI (lots of loading spinners). Some interesting features that have potential to be useful
You need to get the apple app functionality on the android app (especially the ability to copy) and fix it so the specials actually appear. Also update the shop lists so it doesn't display under not sold in this store items that are definitely sold in this store. And why can we no longer have in our lists 0.? Kg of produce? Why does it round up to full kg? Shame I'm having to place this feedback when you state you reply to feedback but my e-mails about this app stopping displaying specials are unanswered :(
Crashes at times,laggy n buggy.brings up aisles/products I didn't even press...I've learnt to add new products to my master list, then tick the ones I want then go online otherwise it takes hours to make a list.
Went to Countdown last night the Cream Cheese is $3.50 on Special, but the app shows $4.15 way too expensive than New World and Pak n Save! Oh thats right, Countdown is Australian Owned! Expensive food store!!
This used to work so well for keeping track of products that are on special on my shopping list, but suddenly it no longer works. None the weekly special prices show up, almost a pointless app now.
1. I first installed this years ago on my Ace 2 and it was great. On my Note 4 I could still access the menu by long-pressing the apps button. On my J5 a little floating button gave me the menu. But on my Note 7, I have no way to access the "copy to other list" function and can't pick out what I need to buy from what I need to check. 2. The "share with other app user" function doesn't work and I have to manually set up my list again every time I get a new phone - which has been three times in a month.
Come on Countdown get with the program. Update this app to fix the bugs. It must be 12 months or more since the last update. You are making many customers very unhappy
What a waste of time... doesn't work properly, mailer never loads and prices aren't kept up to date!
The app doesn't synchronise with the website so if you make a list on the computer it doesn't pull through to the app. The app itself is extremely laggy even on 2GB RAM phone, with nothing else open, using Wi-Fi. It's relatively unusable.
When you push button to buy a product it won't load and takes about 4 times for it to work, then it orders more than the one you wants. Keeps freezing. Terrible. Unusable.
The app button is giving an error when trying to view the Countdown Mailer. Error message states "sorry we could not find a match for this special." This makes it impossiable to plan your shopping list.
Loved this app until the last couple of weeks, it doesn't show any special prices anymore! Used to use this app all the time to budget and get the best deals but not now!
Horrendous...not functional...can't see why anyone would have this app...was hoping to log on and shop. ...save lists linked to my online shopping account. Boo.....
Sometimes frustrating laggy, and clitches I have encountered include amounts of items changing and things left off that I have ordered and if you are trying to order off a list it keeps adding the whole list back in even when you have unchecked items..grrr
Adding items to your shopping basket takes forever! But if you keep trying then it will finally load and you end up with three times as much of an item as you want....then you spend another two minutes trying to delete the unwanted extras!!
I used to use this app lot but I stop using it as weekly specials are not showing up. Countdown you need to sort out this app
When using barcode feature the camera is flipped upside down.
This app needs updating, last updated at the start of 2016, they dont provide you with the current deals online,
The loading times can be a little cumbersome and it often feels like I'm navigating through a maze
It has stopped working doesn't put in price for two or more deals . Please fix it
On my phone it says your device isn't compatible with this version and on my KitKat tablet it says defined for phone's
Nice help. Everything is on your finger tips. You can check what all items are on special.
When will you add back the options in the app to multi select items and delete or copy to another list? Why are there no specials showing in the shopping list when the Countdown email shows some products on my list are on special?
It won't work with the new one card. Mailings won't open. No possibility to add promotions in my basket
Doesn't show sale prices and promotions.
Needs a virtual card we can scan when shopping. Also have onecard number to enter.
Should be able to register for onecard and use it via the app as flybuys does. Would be so Usefull
This app will not let me on to your mailer
Won't let me check for food items
Now it's not showing specials or mailer

I have an online account but when j downloaded this app I now have to have 2 accounts because the website and the app don't work on the same system... how silly! If I create a shopping list online I would expect it to be available on the app too so j can create it at home and then go use it at the store. Disappointed countdown I use to live this app now it's worthless to me. I think you need to fix this issue!
