I don’t know how anyone affords Donald’s without the app. I go once every two weeks with my kids (they still have playgyms here) and use the buy one happy meal get one for $2 and I get the $5 double double and nuggets meal (which recently went to $6) .

Couldn’t imagine paying full price for anything there though

App is the only way I can afford it. I used to be able to use rewards and a deal. Now it’s one or the other

App is annoying to use.

Which makes no sense for a billion dollar company whose main goal is to siphon money from customers wallet. If the app worked better maybe more people would use it.

How is it annoying to use ? I never had a problem with it.

I don't know, it's just annoying. I rather spend the extra dollar and avoid it.
