The Uber eats app has reportedly crashed leaving people unable to order food.

According to Down Detector, a software platform monitoring outages online, users began experiencing problems with the app at around 9:30pm.

Many took to social media to report restaurants weren't showing as they used the app to search.

Areas including London, Birmingham, Manchester and Hull were experiencing Uber eats problems, according to Down Detector.

According to ServicesDown.com, 119 incidents had been reported within 20 minutes.

Some people reported they were being allowed to place an order, but then lost access to the app - leaving them unsure if their food would arrive.
