It's a good app. It takes away any confusion having to go off the paper that's printed off for you. And a lot of places don't have WIC signs, so the app gives you an option to view all the WIC accepted foods. It'll even tell you what you're signed up for. The best part about the app is that once it's linked to your card, it'll show you your balance left for all the items.
Awesome app! I can just open the app in the grocery store and look up which items I have left for the month. I can also see which brands are WIC approved either using the list or just by scanning the barcode of the item right there in the store so I don't have to search to see if the store has those little WIC approved stickers on items. I can also see any upcoming appointments at the WIC office and I can find yummy quick and easy recipes on this app too! I LOVE it, it's very convenient for me!!
Always ready to go without password foolishness or reentering card #. New bonus: when you reload, the list puts all empty entries (0 left) at the bottom. After 3 were used up, I can see everything without scrolling or thinking about things that are already done. Except the cereal - there's always a few oz. & fractions left, which can't be used, but trying to fix That might bite us later.
Pretty straight forward to use. Has a lot of options to help you choose what location to go to, as well as what that store carries that is covered under your specified benefits. Even let's you use a barcode scanner on your phone to double-check and verify if you qualify for items. It also gives you a decent sized list of many different types of recipes to use regarding the items you're able to get.
Tgus is a great app for anyone who really needs some resources. There are lots of cool articles and tips & tricks for different things. I love the produce calculator! It shows you how much each item per pound will be; plus, it saves each entry for next time you use the app. I also really appreciate the recipes portion under each item. There are lots of healthy cooking options and almost every ingredient in each recipe is WIC approved. This is THE most useful app I have ever come across.
This app is very simple. Took me a trip to figure it out. if you navigate the app before going into the store it would be helpful. The images for the product are slow to load. you can scan/type in the code and it will give you a Green yes/red no. There are several icons to help you. Barcode item # like for fruits that are hard to scan. Also tells you your benefits and how much and how many you can get. Once you pay for the items a red x shows up next to products if they've been used up.
I love the app. I grew up on WIC and it was always such a process. Being able to view what I have left right there, look at lists of brands and items and scan to make sure I have the right thing before ever getting to the register is so unbelievably helpful! And I never run into glitches or malfunctions.
This app is great and super easy to utilize during shopping. The bar code scanner is my favorite, it gives me reassurance that I am getting approved items before I get to the check out. The list of items for each section can be overwhelming because not all stores carry the same products. It is still helpful to see the variety of options, if I decide to mix it up for meal choices.
Great app. It makes viewing, keeping tabs on and purchasing your benefit. It tells you exactly what items you can buy, how many of each item, and then after you buy something it will adjust how many more you can buy for the month. Example if you can buy four gallons of milk and you buy one, your total for gallons of milk will go from 4 to 3 under your benefits. They also offer recipes and a lot of help. I recently joined this month and I'm very happy with how easy WIC is with the app!
WAS a good app. Used to be very helpful in stores (most of them) that didn't label items' price tags to let you know what was WIC approved. In the last months I was able to use it (early 2020) it was getting very slow. Scans would take a while to come back and sometimes would show an item as approved then a moment later switch to not approved. Eventually it was no longer supported in my state. Developer please edit your list of states.
love the app, It's very helpful. The receipts you get after shopping aren't always clear. this makes it easy to see your benefits. The recipes are delicious and fun to try. I wish that after you spent your benefits it would show up on the app faster. and inside some stores there is no cell service so it can be difficult to shop while using the app sometimes.
You can view your benefits, and you can monitor what is left. You can scan the items to see if they are WIC approved in stores that don't specify products that are available(brands). If their is an item that normally rings up, that, for some reason, won't clear at the register, you can send it in to be reviewed via the app. It even shows you when you have to check back in with your WIC clinic to update your benefits as the kids grow, etc....
I'm so happy TN finally got a wic app!!! it's so easy to just scan barcodes in the store to see if a product is covered instead of going to checkout and being embarrassed when they say it's not and you don't want to get the item. one thing I wish was better is accurate pictures of items listed under certain categories instead of the generic cereal box for instance for every cereal even though they aren't all the same. I like the app though! I'm really glad we have it now!
I have not been able to use in-store yet as I've just downloaded it at 12:39am. In Oklahoma, it says "My WIC Balance coming soon!", so I don't think I can add my card yet. The home screen of the app is very easy to read and find what you're looking for. I was able to set my monthly allowance and there's an option to upload WIC receipts. Hopefully, I can compare the two when I go to the store and see what I have left instead of calling in. Not that calling in is difficult, this just seems easier.
This app is generally helpful. There are a few things that could be improved to make it easier while shopping. However, available items on app do not match at checkout. I learned the exact price of everything that was -and should have been- available. Many things do not have photos and using the calculator brings me back to my phone's home screen when I switch back to other benefits. When I scan items that match photos, it states it is not a wic item. Thankful for wic, but the app does not align
This app is not reliable. It's difficult to look up items that are covered. I miss having the physical, cardstock pamphlet that lists what you can get as this is just a long list you have to scroll through to find the brand and item, and if you need another screen (like to check a barcode), you lose the list. And the barcodes won't even scan. I've had the app say something is not approved, but then it still goes through at the register.
I love the idea of the app and the scanning feature. My biggest issue is with the benefits part where it says what's still available to get. It very rarely updates in a timely manner whatsoever, and I'm talking days, sometimes close to 2 weeks. Many times I thought I had more available than I did and got the stuff yet found out at the register I didn't have it anymore that month.There's no point in having a feature that is so unreliable.. back to just receipts to keep track of everything again.
I can scan to verify if WIC approved but I can also see that on most shelf labels. So, that could be handy but not really needed. It shows a list of acceptable items but I have that info already. It's not letting me register my card. I cannot track my benefit balance which was the reason for installing. It's not the end of the world. I'll keep track on paper or my phone but I really wanted to do this with the app. I called my local office and apparently, the PA WIC app has not been working.
This is a helpful app. It does need a lot of improvements though. I still cannot link my Wic card to the app so I do without, its a little annoying but I can make do. I'm not sure if it's the app or the products in the store but almost everything I scan to make sure it's okay to buy isn't accepted. Those are the main issues I've had so far.
I have been using this app since we got cards in my state about 4 years ago. The app has been amazing and I've never once had a problem the whole time, until last month. Now it only updates like once after I make my first purchase for the new month and then the rest of the month it won't update and I think I have benefits and end up paying for the food instead. I made that mistake for the first time last month and won't do that again. I hate having to keep my most recent receipt always handy.
