WICShopper: The App That Helps You Shop with Confidence
WICShopper is a free iPhone app developed by JPMA Inc that helps you shop with confidence for foods allowed by your WIC program. The app is available in several states, including Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, and more.
The app allows you to check the WIC eligibility of products while you shop. In most supported states, you can register your eWIC card, then automatically download your current and future benefits every time you shop. WICShopper not only tells you if the product is WIC eligible, but also informs you if you have enough WIC benefits left to purchase the product.
In states that use smart cards such as Texas, New Mexico, and Louisiana, it is not possible to load your prescription because it is stored on your card. However, you can use the app to capture and store an image of your benefits to use the next time you shop. WICShopper also provides options for recipes and sends you a reminder on the last day to use your benefits.
Overall, WICShopper is a lifesaver for WIC participants, making grocery shopping for WIC-approved foods less confusing and more convenient.
