Jirre! we pay such high premiums and get this kak app in 2026! It never saves my biometrics so I need to login with u/p every time. Its horribly slow, and when you try and get more Information about health pathways, it's plagued with errors. Im hesitant to browse the rest of the app because its so painful. You guys. need to fire some managers there and get this app to work!

I'm a new member and unable to create a profile on the app. I'm repeatedly told username already exists. The hints function tells me I can use an underscore and full stop. Nope. Severe reprimand from the app these aren't allowed. I tried to set up a username using random gobbledegook and even that apparently that was already taken. Yes, I've deleted and re-downloaded the app. No difference. Great welcome Discovery. I now don't know what to do.

Discovery claims to be tech-forward, but the HealthyFood app is stuck in the past. As a family tracking an R5000 limit, there is NO live, real-time tracker showing how much we have spent during the active month. I must wait weeks for a retroactive statement or manually add up paper slips like it's 2005. Broken 404 links make it worse. Discovery needs to up their game, catch up with the times, and move into the future. Even 3rd-party tools track instantly. Give us a real-time progress bar!
