Great app, it lets you unlock personal nectar prices and is quick and easy... For those over paranoid about permissions, I can explain (seriously calm down, your phone wont die and you're not being stalked) Location: This is so the app knows what store you are in so it works correctly Camera: Used for scanning items and sync qr codes.

Really needs to be able to add recipe ingredients from the Sainsbury's website to the shopping list in the smart shop app, and then said item should be removed from the list once you've scanned it. App works well although it can be difficult to start a shop sometimes because the app can't find your location.

Always "something went wrong" when trying to get my location even though location permission is granted to the app and all other apps have the precise location. And the app doesn't work if it doesn't get your location. So pretty much useless

It used to be fine, now every time I use it they want to check my basket. So much for a quick shop!

don't do feedback do you. provide us with a quick/fast mode and get rid of all the prompts for " scan qr code" or "at till scan the qr code" we know that as we use the app a lot, just let us bypass it

I haven't even used this app yet and I'm annoyed. I remember when updating my password on a NECTAR APP a while ago that I would only need one password across all of Sainsbury's and Argos. Well that's not true. If I try to use a saved password from phone from 1 app 2 another it doesn't work despite saying I have an account already for an app I've just downloaded! 1 app, 1 account, 1 password please Sainsbury's.
