IHOP

I Love how the app is organized for placing a online order!! Not to throw shady BUT I am.. last time I was at the ihop in Pooler Ga, I did not like the service. Our food was wildly bad except the pancakes. AND WE LOOVE our pancakes from ihop and who could mess up a pankcake? I mean it’s ihop for crying out loud, you just can’t. Period. So this app makes it SO easy for us to make that order of pancakes and dip so we don’t have to deal w/ the extra stuff. LOVE YOUR PANCAKES IHOP and I still have Ihope in your customer service as well:’-) have a wonderful 2019 happy day, god bless

My husband is a developer for a national company, and for that reason I’ve become more familiar with how apps SHOULD work. This app needs improvement and it seems rather obvious someone wanted it released before it was ready, before it had been properly tested, and before all necessary information was included. My personal ‘gripe’ is that I have an iPhone X and the final order check out screen has the exit box at the far top left corner, above where it ought be, so it’s impossible to use. In order to re-enter the app, I have to hard close it and reopen it to reset the screen. This should not be necessary, as it seems to indicate the developer unnecessarily messed with the size coding for the iPhone X template provided by Apple. In this day and age, where everyone is used to apps working nearly flawlessly, I give IHOP props for finally entering the tech world, but thumbs down for execution. Someone doesn’t quite know what they’re doing here, and is not taking notes from other higher functioning apps. Get a new developer or kick this one in the pants and tell them to get it right. If a novice can see the issues here... I worry that someone more seasoned has missed these things and still chose to roll it out.

I really like the idea of being able to place my pickup order through the app. When we call our order in, they can never hear us well on the phone and our order ALWAYS ends up being wrong when we arrive. With the app at least it’s put in plain writing with less room for error if they read and follow it correctly. My major issue with the app is that you can’t relay special requests to the restaurant like you could in person or even over the phone. For example, I always request shelled eggs, scrambled lightly. There is nowhere in the app to specify this request. A comment or special request section might be helpful to accomplish this. The other issue that I have is that our local IHOP’s have specials that we can get if we order in person or via phone. The app doesn’t reflect that pricing, you have to pay the full price. If we are ordering menu items with no special requests, it is otherwise a really convenient app to have!

I’m an app tested I see other write they know testers and I did a 3rd grade level tests and founds bugs that would never come out an an initial release. Tested App and Mobile site in Safari iOS Some pancakes don’t let you add or double their own toppings so you can add it, ??? Kind of big deal when pancakes is the only section I tested. When checking out makes it seem as paying now is an option, it asks you but it’s telling you. Has a a fun button that does nothing. Doesn’t change the screen or tell you anything but from what I found the Pay Now button is there for decoration with no action tied to it, it already checked the fields have value or not if you don’t push it. You add payment info (4 fields) and just use the check out at the bottom and that works. But what happened the 3 times I hit the Pay Now button above that did nothing (didn’t charge my bank 3 times right?!!?) Nope it didn’t do squat. Why did I hit it 3 times first I though thumb was dry then I saw the second didn’t do anything wasn’t my thumb, 3rd well I had to 😐 for fun. Hopefully the store throws in the extra blueberry that couldn’t be ordered after all that free testing. Overseas developers you’re welcome.

The app itself works fine for me, but I find it odd that you can’t add a tip in the check out section. Most food apps give you that option. My biggest complaint about this app has more to do with the restaurant itself. If you’re going to allow mobile orders then be prepared for them. I have ordered through this app about five times and not once has my food been ready to go at the time the app promises. I am usually in the restaurant 10 minutes waiting for my order it be bagged and brought to me. This morning they had no plastic utensils other than a spoon. Have you ever tried to spread butter on a pancake and eat it with a spoon?
