McDonald's charges a lot more without the app tho
fun fact: McDonald's app has tighter "security" than my bank app and won't even work on rooted devices
I can't believe that there's a whole generation of people who voluntarily installed a McDonald's app. I guess marketing works...
"but i can save a dollar by letting mcdonalds root itself deep inside my large intestine!"
When they introduced the app back in December 2016, they gave you a free burger/fish filet. Me and my college roommate took advantage of this and made accounts with sharklasers.com emails. We got 3 free burgers a day just by driving to the closest McDonald’s, down the road 10 mins to the next one, then back.
Free burgers are definitely a big deal in college.
McDonald's app is the fastest way to check if you installed magisk+shamiko correctly
LOL! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the Mickie app is locked down
McDonalds needs updates more often than my credit card app...
It absolutely will work on a rooted device. Mine is rooted and it works fine. Also, in my experience (maybe this is just in my area) outside of the points perk, prices are the same between the app and physically at the store as I have checked out of curiosity.
there are bundles and deals which are only available in the app, usually you can save like 50% with them
depends on the region i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯
e.g. I could either get a big mac for like 22zl? or big mac + medium fries + any sauce for 16zl, or a cheeseburger for 30% of it's price + 300 points (which you literally get back, exact amount for your order)
