This version is nearly completely broken when uploading receipts. No matter what you do, it's almost impossible to take a clear receipt picture. On Android 14, the app does not have any function to control the focus of the camera when taking a receipt picture. Even though the receipt is perfectly clear and focused in the preview, when you try to take a picture, the app on its own, totally uncommanded, focuses and refocuses so that the picture is blurry. There's no ability to control the focus.

Super frustrating to use, to the point I've lost faith in humanity while driving for Instacart. It encourages customers to tip as low as possibly, the batches are horribly organized and are just a way for the app itself to save money. It also takes up way too much data and I barely get through a day without it having too much trouble loading. When I couldn't even load an order to find the items they made me jump through several hoops just to cancel the order. Drive for literally anyone else

Reliable enough as a shopper, gets the job done. Super frustrating when it regularly crashes at the checkout, then takes 30 minutes to reload while I have customers orders in the cart, then it asks why I'm delayed in delivering orders all while the app is frozen, and this has been increasing. Also regularly freezes as I am attempting to deliver an order, usually having me stuck in front of a customers house while waiting for my phone to load while their groceries are waiting in my car.
