(NEXSTAR) – Thousands of DoorDash users — both customers and DoorDash employees (aka “Dashers”) — had reported outages with the company’s food-delivery app early on Wednesday morning, according to DownDetector.
“Hey @DoorDash FIX YOUR DASHER APP IM TRYING TO EARLY MORNING GRIND AND THE APP IS DOWN,” one agitated employee wrote on X.
“Is anyone else having issues with the dasher app right now?” another asked, before describing the situation as “unreal.”
Both posts included screenshots of the app interface, which showed an error message indicating the apps were “unable to load data.”
DownDetector, an online outage tracker, began receiving reports of issues with the DoorDash app around 5 a.m. ET (2 a.m. PT), with over 5,500 reports lodged at approximately 8 a.m. ET.
Reported issues with the DoorDash app fell to about 700 by 9 a.m. ET.
A representative for DoorDash was not immediately available to comment on any issues affecting the service.
