A smaller group praises the app's speed, reliability, and ease of use. These users highlight timely deliveries, accurate orders, and responsive support. Negative feedback dominates across all delivery failure categories. While some users still find value in the platform, the experience is often disrupted by logistical failures and lack of accountability.
