Culver's is a food app in the food category that makes ordering your favorite ButterBurgers and frozen custard simple and fast. It is designed for people who love the restaurant and want a quick, easy way to order ahead and skip the line. In the app, you can browse the full menu, check out daily specials, and even find the closest Culver's location near you. The app runs on both Google Play and the App Store, so it is easy to download and install on any phone. It is totally free to download, and you do not need to register to browse the menu. But if you want to order ahead, you do have to make an account, which takes just a minute. The app has no annoying ads, which is nice. It also does not push in app purchases on you, but you obviously pay for your food when you place an order.

Using the app is pretty straightforward. You open it, and the first thing you see is the menu with clear pictures and prices. To order, you just pick your items, add them to your cart, and then pay with a card or cash if you are picking up inside. One tip I have is to use the “Favorites” section to save your regular order, so you do not have to rebuild it every time. Another tip is to turn on notifications, because they send out coupons and deals for free custard or a discount on your next meal. Also, the app remembers your past orders, so reordering takes just a few taps. I also like that it shows you the estimated time for your food to be ready, so you know exactly when to leave home. The app runs pretty smooth on my phone, and I have not had any crashes or freezes so far.

Compared to other fast food apps, Culver's feels simpler and less cluttered. For example, McDonald's app is full of challenges, games, and lots of pop-ups, which can be confusing. Culver's is more direct and just does what it needs to do. I also like that the app does not beg for ratings or reviews after every order like some others do. The layout is clean and easy to read, even for older people. The order history is also clearer, and the rewards system is simple to understand. While it does not have the huge deals that some other apps offer, the quality of the food plus the ease of ordering makes it my go to choice. I have tried the Dairy Queen app too, but Culver's just feels more personal and less spammy.

• 🍔 Order ahead with full menu access. You can see every single item, including side dishes and sauces, and customize your order exactly how you want it. The process is fast, and you get a confirmation with a pick up time.
• 😋 Custard flavor alert. The app shows the daily and weekly frozen custard flavors, so you know when your favorite one is coming back. This is a huge plus compared to the McDonald's app, which does not show any daily specials like this.
• 🎁 Simple rewards and offers. You get points for every purchase, and they turn into free items. There is no complicated math or tier system. It is just straight points. Compared to the Burger King app, it is much more transparent.

• ⭐ The app is very reliable and fast. Orders go through instantly, and the pick up time is almost always accurate. It never crashes on me, which is more than I can say for the Wendy's app.
• ⭐ It is easy to find a store. The location finder uses your GPS and shows store hours, phone number, and even the drive thru wait time. This is a simple feature, but it works well.

• ⚠️ The app could use more payment options. I wish I could use Apple Pay or Google Pay directly, but right now, you have to type in your card number each time.
• ⚠️ There is no delivery option through the app. You have to pick up your order, which is fine for me, but not great for rainy days.
