Glovo

Glovo delivers food, groceries and more in minutes

Glovo aims to be your on-demand shortcut to almost anything in your city, and it largely succeeds. Instead of juggling different services for takeaway, groceries and last-minute gifts, you can browse everything from fast food chains to pharmacies and electronics in a single, unified interface.

The app is cleanly organized into categories such as Restaurants, Supermarkets, Shops and Express, making it easy to jump straight to what you need. Search works well, with filters for cuisine, dietary options, price and delivery time helping you narrow down choices among the thousands of available partners. Real-time order tracking gives a clear map view of your courier, along with live updates on preparation and delivery stages.

Glovo’s biggest strength is variety. In supported cities across more than 20 countries, you’ll find not only global chains but also plenty of local favourites, plus convenience stores for top-up shopping and pharmacies for essentials. Payment is flexible too, with support for cards, PayPal, cash in many areas and even restaurant vouchers where available.

Glovo Prime is a compelling option for frequent users, offering unlimited deliveries for a monthly fee in selected markets. If you order regularly, the savings on delivery fees can add up quickly, especially on smaller orders.

On the downside, service fees, surge pricing in busy hours and small-order supplements can make some deliveries feel expensive. Delivery times are generally accurate, but peak dinner hours or bad weather can still lead to delays. Customer support is accessible via in-app chat, though responses can occasionally feel scripted.

Overall, Glovo is a powerful all-in-one delivery service that shines when you value convenience and choice. If it operates in your city and you’re comfortable with the fees, it can quickly become an everyday essential.
