My Wendy's app no longer gives me the pick up option.

When I try to log in it keeps saying error forbidden 403

By Joanne   1 year ago


App is stuck on breakfast. This happened weeks ago too. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. Now it’s doing it again.

By Susan Gates   1 year ago


I have had the app about a month It has worked well. Today the app is not on my phone. I'm leaving this comment before I download it again. I had almost $20 on my wendys mobile account the last time I ordered. I am hoping that my money is still on my account. Otherwise I'll be making a appearance to my local Wendy's to fix. Wendys is my favorite fast food restaurant. Please fix this problem

I've tried several, if not more times to create an account and include my military info into the app. I can't do so whether it's with or without the military info in it. So, I'll take my business elsewhere. Subway and Jimmy John's works fine so I'll take my business there.

Make a new app. This app almost never works. have to go into the store to order, and the app will not work in the store. offers and deals are useless if the app won't even run in the store. The store manager told me that people are complaining all the time that the app does not work. The app should be re done by someone who knows what they are doing. Who ever wrote this app should be ashamed and it should never have gotten through beta testing. Hire a company to make a useable app.

Just keeps scrolling, doesn't stop so I can order

By C. Pease   1 year ago


This app NEVER works... Just scrolls through pictures of the little hamburger fries and fries.... FOREVER! Initially when I tried to sign in , it would say there is no account for that email. BUT, when I went to create an account it would then say that there's already an account for that email! Says to go ahead and sign in... and back-and-forth and back-and-forth... Finally I just used my husband's email. Now apparently we have an account for an app that does nothing but scroll through cartoon pictures of food. Completely and utterly WORTHLESS! (not to mention extremely frustrating when I've used up my lunch break in the drive-thru line at Wendy's and the app still hasn't loaded when it's my turn so I can't use the deal I saw earlier thet prompted me to go there in the first place!)

My Wendy's app is only showing me breakfast options to order. It's near 7 at nigjt! Lol

By Dallas   1 year ago


#1 - After the pickup order is placed and click on "I'm Here" I get an error messages "Uh oh, we're fixing this error. You can try again or skip for now (which you can't skip). This error has been happening for over 3 weeks now. I usually order a Caesar salad every day so I know it has been 3 weeks. I get charged for the order but it never gets sent to the kitchen. When I get there to pick up the order they have no record of it so I have to place a new order and pay again. Without online ordering I won't bother going at all because I have a very short window for lunch and the wait is too long. #2 - I tried to submit a complaint about this but it won't let me send it because I get an error saying my email address is invalid. How is my email address invalid if its the same one I use for my Wendy's account. There is no problem with my email when I place orders but its funny that there is a problem with my email any time I want to send a complaint.

By Jeff Platt   1 year ago


I loaded the Wendy's app and was looking through my offers and I was excited to see one of the offers I had was a free breakfast sandwich with any purchase BUT when I push on the chosen free item it goes to the next screen Wich had a choice of using it in a mobile order or use at restaurant so I push the use in restaurant and it takes me back to the "VIEW OFFERS" screen so I tried it a couple more times and it keeps do the same thing instead of a # code or a bar code for the cashier to ring up it just takes me right back to the view OFFERS screen !? Any help would be appreciated thank you sincerely jeff

By Carolyn R   1 year ago


This is the second time it won't open file to attach receipt photo for proof of order. We didn't have phone for app with us when picked up food.

By Hope   1 year ago


Unable to order on the app because I get an error when I try to look at locations. This has been happening for at least 6 months. I’ve tried several things to fix it and nothing has worked.

By Diane Shares   1 year ago


Once again cashier scanned my phone for points that do not show up on my app. I have tried to fill out missing points form but it never goes thru just keeps loading for an hour. I should have enough points for a free salad by now because this isn't the first time this has happened. I hope you correct this issue.

By Jessie A   1 year ago


My most current location for Mobile ordering isn’t popping up on the app

By boBinVentura   1 year ago


App would not load. Just kept scrolling through Wendy, burger, fries, frosty, repeat, repeat, repeat. Uninstalled. Reinstalled. Signed in. Rewards still there. All better now. Except for those crappy new french fries they have.

By Ryn   1 year ago


Been trying to use the app for weeks now and it will not log in at all. Keeps telling me it can’t create an account even though I’m choosing log in instead of create.

Ap would not update on Samsung Galaxy 20. Uninstaller ap, ans now it won't install.

By Candace Weymouth   1 year ago


Meeting friends for lunch today. Wanted to use one of my offers but can't get into app. It just keeps scrolling pictures of hamburger, Frosty, etc. DISAPPOINTED!

By Kari   1 year ago


I'm trying to upload a picture of my receipt to earn points because the app would not open while I was in the drive-through. When I click on "select photo", nothing happens. I have checked all of my permissions on my phone for my camera and and the issue seems to be on your end. Why will it not let me upload a photo and how do I get my points since Wendy's only allows 24 hours to before hours to upload the receipt?

By Joe Norato   1 year ago


app just scrolls and scrolls....endlessly.

By Richard Johnson   1 year ago


it literally just scrolls the little food and logo animations when I open the app. I've tried everything. I shouldn't have to even do this. if you can't devote enough resources to your app, fine. don't have an app. but it always does this, never lets you load gift cards, isn't up to date.... I could go on. seriously, if you're going to force people to download yet ANOTHER useless app in order to get deals/coupons/rewards, get it together. otherwise just go back to paper coupons and punch cards.

By Biao Han   1 year ago


The app has not been working for the past month or so. Starting about a month ago it does not load -- keeps scrolling pictures and a couple weeks ago I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and it seemed to work. Now the app keeps crashing when I try to add an asiago sandwich to my order. Very disappointed. The software engineer(s) who are working on it must not be doing their jobs properly.

By Bryan   1 year ago


App was just looping through burger, fries, frosty, as others described. Uninstalled and reinstalled, it works! Logged back in and rewards are still there. Looks like they added an upload offer option, but you can't put your free jr frosty key tag in there. Still can't order no ice in your Dr. Pepper. Still says last update May 24, 2022, but works for me now.

By Kathy   1 year ago


Wendy's pictures were scrolling screen while in app. After few days it didn't stop. I uninstalled the app and tried to reinstall it. I get an error message when trying to install. Trying over a week.

By David J Werner   1 year ago


My app keeps showing the four pictures that are shown when I turn it on, the burger, the fries, the frosty and Wendy and keeps repeating those four pictures and won't do anything else.

By BARBARA L DAVIS   1 year ago


Your app keeps having service errors when I attempt to pay. First time trying to use it. Will probably be the last time too.

App won't except receipt or photo in account to record past receipt

By Michael Loomis   1 year ago


I had the same problem with the pictures scrolling forever! I wanted to make sure I didn't loose my loaded balance or rewards points so I called 888.624.8140 and waited on hold for over an hour. The woman that answered was able to do something on the back end, then had me delete and reinstall. That worked and I had my loaded balance and rewards points! I'm not sure I would still have those balances if I didn't call.

By K Gordon   1 year ago


I loaded my digital account. Nine times out of 10 it stalls with error message on approving digital account use. How can I get the balance of my digital account in Wendy coupons? I'm really tired of dealing with this. Thank you

By Chris H Routzahn   1 year ago


My Wendy's App, which I used all the time (being in a wheelchair ordering & paying with the app made life much easier) the week or more will now load. I thought it was my phone but all my other apps still work... thought about uninstall it & reinstalling but I have a few thousand reward points & don't want to lose them! Any suggestions? I have been ordering on the Wendy's online site, it works but no rewards!

By Gregory Erway   1 year ago


When opening, it just keeps scrolling a picture of Wendy, a burger, and then fries, over and over. It never loads. I've tried with both LTE and Wifi (including Wendy's Wifi). I also rebooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S9) to see if that would help. I was unable to use any deals or gain points from my purchase. :(

By Ashley M Huston   1 year ago


The app list all my account info and when I tried to create a new account, I get a message saying my password is inadequate and it clearly met the requirement. What the heck is going on?

Won’t load. Just keeps spinning icons for a week now. Tried restarting upgrading and reinstalling. Wendy’s is losing my business to McDonald’s and Burger King

By Traci Duncan   1 year ago


The free drink with purchase is not refreshing on the app. I haven't used it since Friday, but it is still not populating back in my app. It's supposed to be a daily offer for the month of May.

By Pamela Michajlak   1 year ago


Have not been able to load for over a week. Stuck on loading screen.

By Ellen Pomerantz   1 year ago


I too have been having the same problem as others, and after updating the app it only stays on the screen with the pictures rotating through. I have the free jr Frosty that I purchased and unfortunately put it as digital and now I cannot use it and my local Wendy's won't honor it saying I need to order through the app . . .which is not working. I have an android phone. Please help. Thank you.

By VANESSA M OTTAVIANO   1 year ago


app will not do anything but carousel. tried to delete and re-download now it will not let me in at all. keeps saying I already have an account. wendys does not send new password when it sais to wait for one.

App stuck on loading screen

By John Johnson   1 year ago


My Wendys app. just scrolls through the entry screen for the last week. I tried to reload the app from google and it did the same thing instead of reloading. I hope that I haven't lost my points. Until the app is fixed, I will go to Hardy's and Burger King.

By BARBARA WEAVER   1 year ago


The screen just keeps scrolling through the pictures and won't stop to use. The last of our times can't get rewards or offers.

By Danielle Farthing   1 year ago


For the last couple of months I've tried to order thru the app, and it just scrolls through the loading images and nothing else. I've stopped going to Wendy's my usual once or twice every 2 weeks because of it. I hope I haven't lost my points.

App won't load. Just flashes through the images and never loads.

By Grahm Staley   1 year ago


When I reach the checkout screen it just says loading. I have restarted the app and my phone and nothing changes.

By miles monroe   1 year ago


App won't load; all it does is continously show the carousel of images. I ONLY order thru the app, so no Wendy's until they get this fixed. Some people have lost their points; this is unacceptable.

By Nancy DeMasse   1 year ago


The last 3 times it just kept scanning which it is still doing. I am unable to use the app. Also last month I went to use my points 700 for a salad and had to pay for it. The app once again kept scanning. Please correct it. Thank you

I am very disappointed with the Wendy's mobile app. I purchased a $50.00 gift card and only used it once. Yesterday I went to Wendy's to purchase food and it showed I only had $1.79 loaded on my mobile app. Plus my previous reward points were gone. I contacted customer service and I am still without my funds. I should have about $40.00 remaining on card. I will NEVER load another gift card on the app. I will tell my friends to tell all of their friends what happened to me so they won't be in the same situation. I was told there was some type of upgrade around the same time I loaded my card. well, that's not my fault. That falls on Wendy's. My trips to Wendy's will become a thing of the past. I work for my earnings and don't like to be taken advantage of. I don't owe Wendy's anything but Wendy's owe me the remaining balance on my gift card.

By Adam   1 year ago


App won’t load locations to order food ahead of time or to use rewards. Went elsewhere too annoying to try to deal with each time I want Wendy’s :( love my 4 for $5 meals

By Travis Weberling   1 year ago


Hi! The Wendy's app was working fine for me up until a week ago, if you guys don:t want to lose customers to Mcd's or Chick-fila, then I suggest you guys fix the app ASAP.

By Troy Close   1 year ago


Still not working today. Back to McDonald's until they get their app fixed.

By Deb   1 year ago


I've tried to use my app twice in the past couple of weeks. I was unsuccessful and went somewhere else both times. This can't be good for business!

Your app stinks! Today is the third time I have tried to place an order and can NOT get help! How do you expect to ever be competitive like this??

It said my app needed updated and it took away all my rewards and I can't get them back. It was rkms@redacted. Carol King. It put me in now with other

By Susan Millican   1 year ago


I had previously been using the Wendy’s app. Last week, I received a message that the app needed to be updated. I ran the update. When I opened the updated app, seems like all of my Rewards points disappeared, and now I have 0 points. Can you tell me how this happened? Is there any way that I can recover the lost points?

By Tina   1 year ago


Your app crashes and now my rewards are gone. I’ve lost rewards like this a couple of times. If you aren’t going to honor rewards via having the app conveniently crash each time, then why even offer them.

By Nakesha L Harris   1 year ago


Same problem app will not load and now my points/ rewards are gone. Not well

By Jahquest Wright   1 year ago


Last year the app crashed so I just made a new account and it was solved, but it's not a perfect fix because the app crashed again back in February 2022, I can still order on the app but if I try to edit an order or scroll up or down in the menu it crashes, I don't know what to do, I guess the Wendy's App is broken for Android Devices.

By Kyle J   2 years ago


Every single time I try to edit my order (like the toppings on my sandwich) the app crashes. This happens every time I use your app. I've stopped going to your restaurants because of this.

By Traven Owens   2 years ago


Everytime I try to order and try to make edits on my order, the app will crash.

By Allen Henri   2 years ago


Only on the edit screen it crashes. As soon as you try to scroll down to edit your burger it pops up the "app not working" page and closes the app.
