If you have certain fast food restaurants you frequent, using their app can make things easier for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, my kids LOVE Chick-Fil-A.&nbsp;By placing our order in their app on the car ride over, our food takes little time to be prepared, despite how long the line is.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ll cover some of the top drink and dessert apps.&nbsp; We chose six of them, but there are more, just search for your favorite in the Google Play or Apple App Store.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Drink and Dessert Apps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.starbucks.com\/coffeehouse\/mobile-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Starbucks<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>See menu&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Order for pickup<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ability to save favorite orders<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>See nutrition &#8211;

Choose from your credit card, PayPal, or Google Pay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I was using the app to pay for my daughter&#8217;s and my drinks when I found out I was $.60 short and I left my purse in the car.&nbsp; It took me less time to transfer money from PayPal (25 seconds) then it would have been to go out to the car.<\/p>\n<p>If you like their music, you can take their playlists with you on the road through Spotify.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dunkindonuts.com\/en\/dd-cards\/mobile-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dunkin<\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>See menu<\/li>\n<li>Order for pickup<\/li>\n<li>Nutrition info. available via pdf download<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rewards program<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special offers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Purchase history<\/li>\n<li>Add value to and manage gift cards<\/li>\n<li>Pay easily with Dunkin gift cards<\/li>\n<li>Find locations with driving directions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Dunkin app helps you track your gift cards, order donuts and drinks, and find the nearest Dunkin location.&nbsp; If you are a T-Mobile customer, a $2 Dunkin gift card is often awarded to their customers through its T-Mobile Tuesday app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&nbsp;have collected a sizable amount of funds at Dunkin as a result.&nbsp; Though there isn&#8217;t a Dunkin near me, I love to frequent Dunking when traveling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baskinrobbins.com\/content\/baskinrobbins\/en\/mobileapp.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Baskin Robbins<\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Flavor of the Month announcement<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Special coupons, offers, and events<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Birthday club signup for you and family members<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>See allergens, ingredients, nutrition<\/li>\n<li>Pay easily with Baskin Robbins gift cards<\/li>\n<li>Find locations with driving directions<\/li>\n<li>No ordering for pickup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now you can know the Baskin Robbins flavor of the month BEFORE going into the store!&nbsp;

To this day I still love their butterscotch dipped vanilla cones, though it&#8217;s hard to find a DQ that still serves them.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the app does not help me find the stores that have it nor can you see the full menu unless you order.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And even then, if there are no stores around you that allow ordering, you can&#8217;t see the menu.&nbsp; At this point, I would not recommend downloading the Dairy Queen app.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yogurt-land.com\/realrewards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Yogurtland<\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Featured flavor<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Find This Flavor option to see which stores might have a flavor available<\/li>\n<li><strong>Real Rewards program<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>See allergens, ingredients, nutrition<\/li>\n<li>Pay easily with Yogurtland gift cards<\/li>\n<li>Find locations with driving directions<\/li>\n<li>No ordering for pickup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I only use the app for the Real Rewards program, it&#8217;s a handy way to track and see how many points we are away from the next level.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you like to frequent Baskin Robbins, Yogurtland, Dunkin Donuts, or Starbucks, these drink and desserts apps bring enough value that merits downloading their apps (especially for their rewards programs).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wait on the others until they more fully develop their apps.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22019\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2018\/04\/Lori-Sig.jpg?resize=264%2C179&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Technotes\" width=\"264\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2018\/04\/Lori-Sig.jpg?w=264&amp;ssl=1 264w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2018\/04\/Lori-Sig.jpg?resize=150%2C102&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it worth it to use various popular drink and dessert apps?
