Reviews about Schulthess quality

23 mentions · 35% positive · 61% negative

Schulthess quality has declined, with 15 negative reviews compared to 10 positive ones. Sentiment has trended downward from mid-2025 to early 2026. Multiple 1-star reviews cite ongoing technical issues, poor app functionality, and limited machine flexibility. Some users appreciate the app's transparency and convenience for checking machine availability and managing payments. However, these positives are outweighed by complaints about unreliable performance, broken features, and a frustrating user experience. A few recent 5-star reviews note improvements in push notifications and app design. Despite these gains, recurring issues in late 2025 and 2026 have led to widespread dissatisfaction. System failures and poor customer support are frequently mentioned in 1-star reviews from 2026.

Reviews about Schulthess ordering & website

16 mentions · 44% positive · 44% negative

Schulthess’s ordering app received positive feedback in early 2025 for its simple design and functionality. By 2026, user reviews showed a clear decline in satisfaction. Issues with account setup, login reliability, and payment management became common, with multiple users reporting failed registrations and missing confirmation emails. Usability dropped sharply in April and September 2026, when numerous 1-star reviews cited major system flaws. While some users still praised the app’s intuitive layout and convenience, overall sentiment turned negative. System stability and user support were the most frequently criticized areas. The ratio of positive to negative feedback stayed close, but worsening ratings indicate declining user trust and satisfaction.

How the numbers are made

Every review is read once by a language model that labels its themes and sentiment and picks short verbatim passages. Recent reviews weigh more than old ones (each month of age discounts the weight by 10%). Quotes are shown exactly as written, linked to the original review, and cryptographically signed so you can check they have not been altered.Full methodology ↗ · Transparency report ↗
