fast food apps own. download them for your favorite national chains, but the smaller the chain the more dogshit the app

of the ones i use, mcdonalds, jack in the box and wendy's are the best because of an extensive coupon section. use the coupons, they're usually pretty good. i'm not a picky eater so i'll just do some quick math and choose the one with the best deal to use that trip, like bogo big macs or infinite $.99 2tacos / 5 piece nugs at jitb. mcdonalds lets you use one coupon every sixty minutes but jitb lets you load the gently caress up; it's gotta be really cost-effective for a car-full of people

which do y'all use? i haven't tried burger king, subway, chik-fil-a, sonic or other big chains. what's good

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




Burger King is pretty dece, it's always the same deals but they're pretty good ones, like a large fries and 10 pc c-nuggs for the price of just the nuggs

7-11 app is doing half off medium slurpees all month, you used to be able to get 50 cent coffee refills with it and they let you fill up, like, a whole bubba beer cooler. They don't let you use your own cups these days though

Starbucks app gets you unlimited refills on drip and cold brew, that one's top tier even if you don't bother with the points

Tim Hortons app has different coupons every week, some of them are really good

The KFC app fuckin sucks, don't bother

I'm surprised that I haven't used a fast food app that hasn't sucked a butt.

Well the Ike's one isn't great, but they aren't a big national chain and they've had an app for like 11 years.

taco bell's app offers a lot of customization options and now does rewards so we'll see how that turns out.

del taco's kind of sucks.

tin drum is good and basic with a lot of specials and a rewards program.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
Yes the Taco Bell app is good for showing what you can do with a taco. So many options I didn't know about.

McDonalds app is good. There's always a deal where you can put together a decent meal for 5 bucks or so.

BK has good deals, but it always seems skew towards meals for 2 or more people.

The Wendy's app sometimes has good offers, but it's weird. There's a weekly coupon for $2 off a PREMIUM combo, but there's no way to tell what a premium is. For example, Dave's combo (the most basic sandwich they have ) is considered a premium combo. However, the Big Bacon Classic is not. Makes no sense.

Popeye's app kinda poo poo itself yesterday while I was using it. I was able to get my order through and hit the "I'M NEARBY MAKE MMY FOOD" button, but afterwards it logged me out/forgot my orders when the dude asked me to show it for verification.

Thankfully the dude just said "Or tell me what was in your order."

I just logged into the Taco Bell app for the first time since they rolled out all the rewards and they gave me a free birthday baja blast slush thing so 5 stars.

This used to be 7-11 and then some consultant firm told them it was better to offer like free taquitos or something instead so I stopped using it.

Nacho Bel Grande customization on the Taco Bell app is absolutely fantastic, but you apparently cant get black beans after 10pm.

The Buffalo Wild Wings app allows you to order delivery through it and will outsource the order to other delivery services like DoorDash, etc. It can also be set up with a rewards program so you get some free wings from time to time.

I need to rant about how loving bad the Burger King app and website is.

Let's say I'm some kind of crazy person and I want to do something absurd like look at the menu. I have to choose a location first. Fine, whatever, but none of the locations near me support online ordering so I can't pick them.

So in order to just loving view the menu of a restaurant, I have to scroll the map to some other random city and find a location with online ordering, just so I can see their food offerings before I get to the restaurant.

Further, if it's late at night and I want to plan for the morning and see what their breakfast options are, I can't. They just don't show them if it's not breakfast hours. I have to wait for the morning when I'm in a rush, and then jump through the hoops above just to LOOK AT THE loving MENU. :argh:

CFA's app is a massive privacy violation, data being sold, given to third parties, tons of PII.

It uses multiple third party vendors to literally enumerate everything on your device. It also attempts to re-identify devices through resets, like iOS factory resets. This should not be legal or appstore allowed.

Vendor outright brags about this:
