5/5Cannot register because birthdate format not accepted
It’s the most frustrating experience to register on the app. We registered on website and it was smooth. But while registering on app it was never ending. It is still not working. After entering all the information at the register page, the ERROR message will keep popping that ERROR - Enter birthdate in mm/dd/yyyy format. While clicking on that tab it automatically opens the default iPhone app selection of day, month and year. Even after selection of the correct date it just keeps popping the ERROR message. There is nothing a user can do. It’s an app flaw. Cannot register and cannot use it. Useless app!

5/5Very convenient!
This app is AMAZING! I have had to get WIC the good ol’ fashioned way and use WIC checks and walk around with their booklet trying to figure out what items I can and can’t get, if the price was ok for the voucher amount, and have to get everything that’s listed on one check even if you don’t need all of those particular items at this time. I cannot explain how great full I was this time around when I got a card and an APP it makes it much simpler and more importantly you don’t have to be humiliated like before when you held up the line with your WIC check because something always seemed to be wrong.

5/5So blessed by your help!
It has been such a huge help to have Wic one day soon I hope to start working and get myself on my feet but now with two kids this is such a blessing to be able to count on this income monthly! We are (me husband and kids) are forever grateful for this amazing service to the community. Your love and passion is amazing. God repay you for all you do to help us get back on our feet after this season of raising a family and being a stay at home mom. Couldn’t do it without you!

1/5Login Issues
I downloaded the app when it first rolled out and had no real issues besides slow loading, but it was really helpful being able to see my remaining food balance. After initially setting up my account I never had to re-sign in until about a month ago. The app had logged me out and wasn’t accepting the password I had thought I’d used. So I went to “Forgot my password” but it only tells me that I need to enter a valid email address even though I entered it already. So that was a dead end. Now my card has been having issues in store and I can’t use the app to figure out the problem and my WIC office is closed. Wish they would fix this problem in the app because it seems lots of people are having the same issue with no fixes or updates.

5/5Convenient! ⭐️
The app is super easy to use and so well put together. It lets you know when your benefits will expire and renew. There’s also a section that allows you to see which exact products you can get with your benefits for if you’re ever shopping at WIC approved markets and need a little help. The app also lets you know when you have an upcoming WIC appointment. Truly has helped me out so much!
