Needs improvement
This app is limited. I’d rather log into the website. You can’t like reviews, update your profile. I vote for a new and improved app.
Filters
I use this EVERYDAY but I want to be able to look up things differently using filters! For example, searching by "best value"!

Hello CoDistrict, We've just released update that adds rating to search results, please update the app. Thank you
Good for users, bad for contributors
Used this app for a few years. Its wonderful to check your products against this while shopping. Money saving gem!
That said, it's ridiculously complicated to ADD reviews on the app. Finally used google and added my review in the mobile website, and even then there was no option for me to add a photo or barcode.
Please fix these things! I'd like to be a giver, not just a taker.

Pretty good but...
It has a problem where it won't display the reviews for certain products...it seems to be random which pages are affected. As in you go to the product page, and the picture, # of reviews, % of ppl who would buy again, etc shows up, but the reviews underneath that are nowhere to be seen...not a huge deal, just kind of annoying :/

Thank you for reporting this issue. We just fixed it! We really appreciate your feedback.
Not very good
The app is nothing like the website. It doesn't seem to be calling the same database as the web version which is annoying. I was hoping that I could check reviews on the go but it turns out not all reviews are available here. Example: the new stick foundation by Anastasia of Beverly Hills. There are lots of reviews on the web version but none in the app. Please improve this.

Thanks for reporting this issue, Cutiese! All web reviews should be accessible from the app. We checked and Anastasia of Beverly Hills is showing up. There might have been a temporary glitch when you checked. Try again and let us know? -makeupalley
Easy to use and useful
After spending some time on the website, I downloaded the app and I like it. Search is quick and it is easy to find info you need about the products.
Looking forward to the features that are on the site but not in the app yet.

Ads are annoying
As a longtime user of the Makeupalley website, I loved when they came out with an app. I love being able to look up reviews easily when I'm at a store. What I don't love is the ads lately. They used to just be a banner at the bottom of the app...now there are freaking pop-up videos. If I'm in a store or even somewhere that needs to be quiet, these ads come with no warning and are embarrassing. Maybe make a paid version without ads? Also, this app has been freezing a lot lately.

Great idea!
Very easy to use and find the products so you can read multiple reviews from people before you buy the item. Only slight negative is the option to scan the barcode for the product doesn't work properly. I tried more than one product close to the photo box on the screen and pulled back but it won't focus in clearly. Other apps I have scan barcodes without problems. That feature being fixed would make it even quicker to look up items while my husband is "patiently" waiting for me to decide lol.

Bugged again 😩
Results are once again jerky, scrolling doesn't work and then it catches up and scrolls two thirds down instead of one page.
This was fixed in the last update.

Easy to use, but very minimal!
Very easy to look up reviews for products, to research brands and to post my own reviews. The search criteria is very simple and makes it easy to find what I'm looking for.
However, I wish I could see what reviews I've written and that I had more access to my account settings via the app.
