I originally give 4 stars, dropped to 2 now. I can't even access the app and won't load the web page. The last few days just keep getting an error and a "sorry you have been blocked" message when trying to open the app. It says to email and raise issue and to input card number except I can't get my card number as it's on the very app I can't get access too. This has gone down and got worse over the years now considering if it's even worth the cost not to mention no where takes it anymore.

5* to 1*. Originally very impressed with the app.. now I can't see any discounts at all... in fact the app has consistently said "Oops! It looks this will still take us a little bit longer, we suggest you try again later" for the past 3 months. Uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times to no avail. The discounts are becoming limited- nothing you can't get as a new customer... Disappointed to be honest

Hi Shelley! On some Samsung/Android devices, AdGuard DNS may be enabled during setup, which can block access to the Blue Light Card app. Please try: Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Private DNS > Automatic, then save. Close the app and log back in. If it still doesn’t work, please contact us and we’ll help. Cerys, Blue Light Card

Would edit this down to zero if I could. Absolute garbage. App does not work - when it does it crashes all the time, no matter how many times you reinstall it. Your support articles don't work. Nobody replies to support requests. I haven't been able to renew my blue light card for six months. Absolutely, enraging. Customer service is absolutely non-existent. Thanks for nothing 👎
