SWIPEBY - Curbside Takeout

I downloaded this because the restaurant I ordered from didn’t provide an ETA. My card information was stolen within 3 days of ordering. The amount charged was not even similar to the amount I had purchased. The app itself is slow, and my order wouldn’t send through for more than 10 minutes. Save yourself some time and just call the restaurant.

So far, SwipeBY is the most frustrating app I’ve ever tried to use. I’m giving it one star because I like the idea of it and it’s a small local company that my small local coffee shop is part of and am hopeful they can resolve the user UNFRIENDLINESS. When I tried to send a message for support the screen set up is such that you cannot click submit. And while you’re typing in your comments, the screen set up is such that you can’t even see what you’re typing. So now I can’t even get in touch with them. This review will stay up until the issue has been resolved. Good luck, SwipeBY, I am rooting for you!☀️

I did nit even have to get out of the car or call The restaurant! Got the food delivered to my car smoothly. I have also ordered delivery and the fees were very low compare with Uber Eats

The restaurant we regularly ordered from over SWIPEBY informed us that they hadn’t been paid for the orders customers placed over the app and they have been unable to contact or hear back from the company about when they will be paid. They said they lost a lot of money. I feel terrible because this is a small local business we were frequenting during the pandemic, and to hear that they hadn’t actually been paid for the orders we’ve been placing is terrible. We will never order over SWIPEBY again.

We have had several instances with SWIPEBY where restaurants that we know to be open, show as being closed for orders on SWIPEBY, or an order that we placed through SWIPEBY was not placed correctly at the restaurant and we had to get a refund. When it works, it is good, but when it doesn’t it is a pain especially when you have hungry kids in the car. Better to just call the restaurant directly!

Tried to order instead of using DoorDash. Sure I’d have to pick it up but at least it was going to be quicker since it was a busy time of night. Unfortunately the app was unbearably slow. Every time you entered the app, tapped an item, or added to cart it hung on “receiving data” for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute each. Also when it I went to the cart after waiting all that time to adding the items into the cart turns out the cart was empty. Closed the app and went back to doordash.

I downloaded the app for one nearby restaurant. The experience using the app was ok. Still end up calling the restaurant to get my food while I waited in my car. I feel like the restaurant can just do curbside pick up simply without using this app. Another downside is that, the app lists only 3 restaurants near me in a very populated city.

I’ve been using this app/service for a few months and can highly recommend it. The app is simple to use; it stores your credit card info, preferred vehicle for pickups and favorite meals at restaurants. But that would all be for naught if the restaurant fulfillment did not match the promise of the app. Thankfully, it’s a seamless system. Kudos to the developers!

I downloaded the app but nothing came up in the search for my area. Let me know if you have anything in the Twin Cities region!

Downloaded swipeby for one purpose only: order curbside pickup from my favorite restaurant. Very disappointing the app just crashes when I try to place the order.
