    It's not working for me.
    Are there two McDonalds apps?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭Absoluvely


    I'm not so sure it's worth downloading the app for.
    It has seven reviews and they all give it one star.
    I'm looking at the right app, right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭irlgirl

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 272 ✭✭rox5


    NOOO! I used to have McDonald's app before but then deleted it because of lack of space. Now the app is incompatible with my Samsung, damn it anyway! :(:(:(

    This app keeps crashing. So annoying. Every time I get onto the game, it closes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭3_BOoYA_X


    You have to be close to the location on the map. i.e if the smoothie was on the map outside your local McD's then you have to head down there and then play the game :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,439 ✭✭✭ando


    what do you have to do here, go to the counter of a mcdonalds and play the game at the counter to get the free smoothie/frappe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    There is NOT way I'm install this app

    THIS APPLICATION HAS ACCESS TO THE FOLLOWING:

    YOUR LOCATION

    APPROXIMATE LOCATION (NETWORK-BASED)
    Allows the app to get your approximate location. This location is derived by location services using network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine approximately where you are.

    PRECISE LOCATION (GPS AND NETWORK-BASED)
    Allows the app to get your precise location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) or network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.

    NETWORK COMMUNICATION

    FULL NETWORK ACCESS
    Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.

    PHONE CALLS

    DIRECTLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS
    Allows the app to call phone numbers without your intervention. This may result in unexpected charges or calls. Note that this doesn't allow the app to call emergency numbers. Malicious apps may cost you money by making calls without your confirmation.


    STORAGE

    MODIFY OR DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR USB STORAGE
    Allows the app to write to the USB storage.

    YOUR ACCOUNTS

    READ GOOGLE SERVICE CONFIGURATION

    Allows this app to read Google service configuration data.

    FIND ACCOUNTS ON THE DEVICE
    Allows the app to get the list of accounts known by the device. This may include any accounts created by applications you have installed.

    NETWORK COMMUNICATION

    VIEW NETWORK CONNECTIONS
    Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected.

    RECEIVE DATA FROM INTERNET
    Allows apps to accept cloud to device messages sent by the app's service. Using this service will incur data usage. Malicious apps could cause excess data usage.

    SYSTEM TOOLS

    TEST ACCESS TO PROTECTED STORAGE
    Allows the app to test a permission for USB storage that will be available on future devices.

    AFFECTS BATTERY

    PREVENT DEVICE FROM SLEEPING
    Allows the app to prevent the device from going to sleep.

    CONTROL VIBRATION
    Allows the app to control the vibrator.

    YOUR APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

    RUN AT STARTUP
    Allows the app to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the device and allow the app to slow down the overall device by always running.

    DEFAULT

    DIRECTLY CALL ANY PHONE NUMBERS
    Allows the app to call any phone number, including emergency numbers, without your intervention. Malicious apps may place unnecessary and illegal calls to emergency services.

    Doesn't sound great but it is McDonald's.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 31,117 ✭✭✭✭snubbleste


    I observed those t&c's as well....but a free smoothie!!
    CONTROL VIBRATION Allows the app to control the vibrator. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭mathie


    So I eventually got my app to issue a voucher.
    Then I go into my nearest McDs (Dublin OConnell St) and they say "Thats only for Rathmines"

    Jokers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I was wondering why the app told me my nearest McDonalds was in Rathmines when there are at least five branches closer to my house, two of which are less than a 2 minutes away...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 948 ✭✭✭DJ Hafez


    My closest is Rathmines too.... I'm in Cork though - bit strange! I'll wait for an update before doing anything else

    great free advertising for mcds on boards though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,826 ✭✭✭phill106


    got it working again last night, something seems odd with the app though, often get smoothie not available here as a message, while other times you get past that stage before it checks if smoothies are available.

    mocha frappe is nice :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,340 CMod ✭✭✭✭Davy

    The app was updated yesterday to fix some bugs, try updating it first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Working on my GS3, going to try get one in town in a few hours, will report back if it works.

    was on the bus to Dun Laoghaire and got the app working, happy days, then my phone decided to have a wobbly and when i got it back working it said the smoothie had been grabbed, yeah by me! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,708 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    App kept crashing on me on Thursday, but managed to grab the smoothie, then got a timer countdown to get to McD's...the app crashed again when I was at the counter and couldn't show the timer to the staff. They let me away with it and got a free Pineapple and Mango smoothie. Was ok for what it is, got brain freeze for the first time in ages.

    Who-ever McD's contracted to do this doesnt deserve a penny, they did a really shocking job. Must have done no testing at all.


    Once you claim a smoothie(you dont need to be anywhere near it btw ^^ ) you have an hour to claim it, but once you exit/minimize the app there is no way to claim it, and all others on the map become "no longer available". Setting up a new account eventually allowed me to pick another and get a free Caramel frappe which was actually delicious. Great promo, **** app.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,575 ✭✭✭AlanS181824


    I have a Nexus S and a Nexus 7 I can't find the app on either.....could someone give me a direct Google play link?

    I hate Mc Donald's and their stupid app. Three times I have used this app driven up happy to collect my free smoothie and within moments of that the app crashes and it doesn't let me use it again since I've already claimed it.

    Of course the guy at the cash desk looks at me like I'm a liar... f*ck that. So far I have received no free smoothie and just been embarassed.

    I've stopped going to Mc Donald's out of princinple!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,234 ✭✭✭Fresh Pots


    Just downloaded the app but I don't see any mention of a free smoothie. Is the promo over?
