Shop, Play, Win!® MONOPOLY

The app is poorly designed. It is cool that the app will track your pieces. The problem is that it takes forever to scan them. After every scan, you have to hit a button to close the pop up. Then, hit the “scan” button again. The app should stay in scanning mode. The end of the game is around the corner. The app is constantly freezing between scans. Not displaying a list of what you scanned. I’ve closed it numerous times, to help refresh it. That doesn’t help. I get logged out and am prompted to sign in again. I do all of it and there is an error message that says the system can not handle the request. I force close it. Try again... and I am signed in and ready to scan. Well... ready to try. It FREEZES again and again. I think logging manually will be quicker.

Last year I downloaded this app and there were a few things that were irritating about it. First thing was I had to log in every single time I opened the app, which was fine till one day I tried to log in and it said my account didn’t exist. So I thought well maybe I’m being stupid and typing it in right- tried few more times- searched for my name and stuff.... didn’t find me. I created the same exact profile, same number, everything. Lost all of my tokens (62 tokens! I was saving...) and obviously I threw away those papers. So I stopped playing game... heck I stopped going Safeway cause I didn’t even deal with it (yes I was being a baby about it.) So this year seems to be good, I don’t have to log in every time and nothing weird seems to be wrong. I thought I would write a somewhat good review cause I noticed there was a lot of bad ones.

Just started ShopPlayWin with 4 tickets and won a package of organic coffee which would normally cost me $10-$12 (depending on the brand) in a grocery store. Plus I won a free token but I had to go online to find out how to use the token because I could not find the information on the big game board. Unfortunately I had already tossed the scannable barcodes on the ticket apparently necessary for the tokens since I was using the board and had not yet downloaded a scan barcode app. I figure the whole process is a numbers game and the game is entertaining once you start. Besides, who does not like winning a free prize? I am looking forward to seeing what else I might win. I say keep a positive attitude and go for it. If it becomes annoying or too tedious you can alway stop.

Yes, the app is a little less-than-desireable in terms of user experience, but I’ve never had a problem with it until recently. I’ve been logged in continuously for weeks now and have been keeping track of my markers and tokens. Everything was fine until this week - all of a sudden I can’t get the app past the “choose your store” screen. I press “log in” and nothing happens. I’ve restarted my phone multiple times and have no idea what’s going on. If they did a recent update (again - I literally was using this app with 0 problems as of last week), then its due to a new bug/glitch associated to that update. I will keep trying to get it to work... but otherwise, at this very moment, it’s a pain in the in terms of convenience.

I LOVE the ease of this; just scan and track! Plus, you can collect tokens and decide how to spend them! And it only takes a few seconds to scan-major time savings-so even busy mom’s can play with little effort. ACCOUNT SET UP ISSUES? I see lots of folks getting stuck at the “local store” part of set up. I remember getting stuck there too, but it turned out I didn’t do something correctly (didn’t scroll all the way down or didn’t enter all info or...?). Once I corrected my own error, it was SUPER EASY from ther!!!! I am so excited because last year I didn’t load the app and tracking things was so time consuming.
