Instacart Customer Insights

1. That is not fair to us drivers that sometimes drive 30 mins just to shop items for them.Trash. I went through the entire sign up possess, gave the app every premission available, and it still says that my application is incomplete.

2. I really wanted to start working, and this is hindering me from doing so! As far as your response, it's not a delivery issue! Not taking the time to read anything written.The app crashes multiple times a day.

3. They took away the 'Best time to Shop' feature!!! I used this all the feature ALL OF THE TIME! Edit again: app still freezes and I have to reboot phone sometimes.

4. Everytime I click complete application it freezes and takes me back to the same screen that just says application incomplete.

5. Stop changing pin numbers with every batch, and a lot of the checkout issues will go away.I really love using Instacart.

6. When shopping at a store that you have to scan the QR code, sometimes the scan option won't appear and it takes FOREVER to go back to the dashboard to refresh the app.

7. There have been times that I delivered the items to the wrong place from using the navigation part of the app.

8. Please don't even get me started on the fact that even as a 5 star shopper, you barely see batches while others with lower ratings, sitting right next to you have orders all day on their screen! Ugh!😡A good app.

9. Unable to scan back of drivers license, no help option or contact option and won't let me go back.

10. Keeps crashing during item scan, or it freezes and I have to close app and reopen the app.

11. Other than that, I love it!! ❤️I had 5 stars but lowered it in hopes someone will see this an fixed the issue.
