Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 93 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the app, describing it as useless, difficult to use, and prone to crashing or freezing, making it impossible to place orders or access features. Reviewers frequently reported issues with their orders, including missing items, incorrect products, and orders not arriving as expected, often leading to financial losses and unredeemed points. The customer service was widely criticized for being unhelpful, dismissive, and unresponsive, with many finding it impossible to resolve problems or obtain refunds, often being directed back to the problematic app or receiving generic responses. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the app was easy to use and efficient for placing orders, appreciating its overall functionality compared to other fast-food applications. Some also highlighted positive experiences with specific staff members, praising their excellent customer service.

I am working nights for the NHS so I ordered off the McDonald’s app for myself and my family. I used my NHS 20% discount. They took the payment and my order was cancelled before they even accepted it... See more

I have come to the conclusion that McDonald's has some type of algorithm that keeps you from gaining or using too many points. Numerous times it has said there was an issue with payment yet if I go to... See more

Terrible customer service, do not use this app. If they mess up your order you won't be able to rectify it, mcdonalds won't take responsibility. They missed out items on my order but charged me anyway... See more

McDonald’s App Awful and complicated

Missing items on my order again via McDonald’s App! Called McD HQ they said call the number on the text - I said I never got a text and email had no number. They gave Uber eats number which stated they no longer support that number. Awful awful service all round

I didn’t receive an item that cost over £5, contacted the store they told me to report on the app and the customer service on the app said they wouldn’t refund. The delivery driver company also wouldn’t refund so now I’m hungry and out of pocket.

App is very poor

App is very poor, manipulates customers with time on being on time and being able to apply for refunds and cancelling order without cancellation fee very poor!

It's the worst app I have ever used!!

It's the worst app I have ever used!!! Whenever I want to make an order, I have to uninstall and reinstall it. Sometimes I need to do that abut 3 or 4 times!! You need to invest in a better company to run your app!

Horrendous experiences

Every time I place an order through the app to be delivered. The order is always wrong. Missing items, somebody else’s order being delivered and McDonalds doesn’t want to know. The store will tell you to contact the delivery company that they nominated through their app for any issues. An absolute scam of a service

App really is useless

App really is useless, I can order get the the restaurant and when I say I'm here it says you are not, I give the order number within the app and the can't find d it, so can't take advantage of the deals, even the staff say the app is useless. I have set permissions for location, I can't find any online help, but guess by the rating of the app we are all in the same boat

Delivery gone wrong and I paid the price.

I am off work sick and ordered some food to be delivered, once the order arrived I noticed the double quarter pounder with cheese was missing, called them and was given a number for Uber Eats, called them and it is Mcdonalds policy to NOT refund under these circumstances. Is this not theft? I have paid for something I did not get, surely that isn't legal?? One thing is for sure, I will never give them a penny of my hard earned money ever again.

I don’t even want to give it one star as once you’ve ordered your charged whether you receive the full meal or not, no contact to rectify your order or send out what’s missing. Not the good service!!!

The app is awful

The app is awful. You scroll down then it freezes. So any products at the lower part of the menu cannot be ordered. Appalling and very frustrating. Must be costing them business so cannot believe they are ignoring the problem.

App stole 6400 accumulated points

App stole 6400 accumulated points, 2nd time 4 months. McDonald's AI generated solution is to blame the local franchisee. If you have points use them before McDs wipes them away because they will and will not fix it for you.
