The MyWIC app is designed for families enrolled in the Wisconsin Women, Infants, and Children Program. Families can view eWIC benefit balances, find WIC-approved foods, and locate authorized grocery stores and pharmacies. To use the app, you will need an eWIC card issued by the Wisconsin WIC Program.
Scan feature
Barcode scan feature does not work at all I tried scanning so many different items and none worked.
New Update
Kicks me out, doesn’t show all my benefits and the scan isn’t working correctly. Very unhappy with this new update.
Update
Newest update is awful. It’s hard to read what benefits are available, it seems like some or half are now missing. The old version was PERFECT. Please switch back or fix this. I’ve literally considered just dropping wic because of this
No longer helpful
Shopping for WIC groceries takes me so much extra time & energy, already, it would be nice if the app didn’t make it MORE difficult. It’s absolutely impossible to scan barcodes with the updated app, and if you do manage to scan anything, it says it’s not a WIC food (when the store has the barcode labeled on the shelf and it rings up as a wic food). I use the app to make sure I’m confident that what I’m buying qualifies for WIC, and I’m shopping with kids- I don’t have 5 minutes to try to scan a single barcode. Some stores also mis-label items as WIC items (Walmart especially) so I like to have the app to confirm. I never had trouble before this most recent update. The way that the benefits are laid out in the app has always stunk. It’s not intuitive and I’m always uncertain about what I can get, which categories the items fit into, and how many of an item I can buy with my benefits. Add to this that my benefits change constantly as my baby grows and it’s even more complicated and confusing. I would love if there were a catalog within the app with visual examples of what could be purchased that includes the specific brands and qualifications an item needs (whole grain, no added sugar, etc.). Even a link to the existing brochure would be helpful, I always end up searching for it online.
Update is terrible!!
App randomly stops working, can no longer scan any items!! And his needs to be fixed asap!
Hate it
If I could give it no stars, I would! I hate this new update. It so stupid. Change it back! It won’t let me scan anything.
Don’t like new update
Can’t scan anything! It does not zoom in. And when trying to scan some stuff it says it’s not approved by WIC when I know it is! I do not like it at all!
