### 3/5 — Good gear. Annoying app

*2025-11-17, version 8*

Sorry but the new app is a backwards step. Navigation seems slower and clunkier. Worst of all though is that the domain used to login does not include the ALPAKA name. I’ve had to manually add some weird domain name that I don’t recognise to the passwords app in order to log in. This seems very odd. Also, I logged in to view the basket and then had to log in again to check my rewards. Whoever is in charge of this doesn’t seem to know what they are doing!

### 3/5 — App discounts code disappears!?

*2024-09-19, version 5.4*

I download the app to get my discount code but can’t find it? Then a notification pops up on my phone for the discount code but when I press it there is no code applied in the app? 

There has to be a better system?

### 4/5 — Great products, website needs customer service page/ spot

*2024-08-30*

I’ve enjoyed my sling purchases from them, but sadly lost my magnetic ring peice it came with, which is not the hub keychain. I had to use the website and not the app to find a way to ask a question about getting it replaced. Will update if there is better news but they have been helpful after you use their website not their app.

### 3/5 — mid

*2024-06-03, version 5*

Website is better. App has random missing parts to dimensions etc etc etc. Forced to swipe image galleries instead of getting tappable thumbnails (some of which have 50’s of images). Elements way too huge on a Pro Max iPhone, space not well used.

### 4/5 — Fine, but…

*2024-04-21, version 4.9*

I have to admit that I am a little bag addicted and also a fan of Alpaka gear - great stuff at reasonable prices even with eco-ideas applied at times! The app follows that concept and focuses my experience successfully on available products as well as special actions etc., so it does mostly what I expect a good app to do. A caveat however is, since I do pretty much all things cross-device with my iPad, that the app is optimized for iPhone only. Furthermore, my basket is not synchronized, that seems to be local to the device only. While other items (favorites and wishlist) are synchronized, continuing shopping isn‘t possible.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-04-10, version 4.9*

Using this app makes me miss the Alpaka
website.

A few issues:
• Saving an item takes FOREVER. It’s faster to just add the to cart or notify when available instead.
• Dimensions drop down in the item description does not work at all for all the Zip Pouch and Zip Pouch Pro pages. These are basic information of an item yet they are unavailable on a product catalog app.

### 5/5 — Could be better

*2023-11-10, version 4.6*

Good apps but not as user friendly as the site.

### 2/5 — Favorites feature doesn’t work

*2023-09-26*

Decent shopping app for their products but saving an item as a favorite doesn’t work. Hangs up.

### 4/5 — Second order - still long lead times

*2023-09-01, version 4.2*

Hi , 
Love the products . Not many “female options “ and also long shipment lead times ! Hopefully this one will come sooner as it’s a gift . Thank you

### 5/5 — Hooked

*2023-08-25*

Bought 4 bags total, one at a time. Addicted obviously. Gifted my boys a sling each, Go Sling Nano, Tech Case Mini, Go Sling Mini, and an Access Pouch. Just great looking bags, quality through and through. Love them.

### 5/5 — Great Products!

*2023-08-20*

So far everything I’ve ordered has be great. I really would love to see Alpaka do a nice good sized duffel bag similar to the Aer Travel Weekender or the Black Ember DEX.

### 4/5 — Straps

*2023-08-15*

Some straps are too wide and it would be nice if you could adjust it to hang lower.

### 2/5 — Web “app”

*2023-08-04, version 4.1*

It’s not an app. It’s basically a buggy, stuttery version of the mobile website

### 5/5 — You make very good products

*2023-08-04*

You’ll have very good bags. I already have three bags I have two the pouch but one of the pouches I lost so I just got one couple weeks ago you make very good products and plus I was to look for stuff is waterproof because I am I am I am a disabled person so that I look for things as waterproof double tap my electronics in I’m going to buy some more stuff the next order I’m gonna buy some mask

### 1/5 — 代理店のお陰で購入できなくなりました

*2025-11-01, version 7.9*

日本では利用できない

### 1/5 — Mr

*2024-02-24, version 4.8*

So hard to buy your product make people are just stupid

### 1/5 — Terrible delivery option

*2024-02-24, version 4.8*

Impossible to purchase from the app or official website 
Anything you see on outlet is not available to ship to Hong Kong 

A complete spam

### 1/5 — Ship from HK but not to HK

*2024-02-19, version 4.8*

Weird and ridiculous, a bit of discrimination (claimed to have a distributor in HK? but with a higher mark up and cannot enjoy the same discount rate as what website claim) not a wise decision

### 1/5 — No bags in collection

*2024-01-22, version 4.7*

Clicked on the different type of bags and all are empty. What is the point of having this app.

### 1/5 — Company is scamming

*2023-09-27*

Package haven’t shipped in 4 days but they created a tracking number but haven’t shipped items! Will never buy from them again.

### 1/5 — 商品は来ない

*2022-05-30, version 2.5*

いくら問い合わせても
2週間後に送ると言うだけ
1ヶ月前も先週も同じ答え

### 1/5 — Poor shipping

*2022-04-11*

I’ve been waiting over 2 weeks for my items and some haven’t even left the facility. Kinda sad honestly, being “in stock” and 2022 and still waiting for horse back riders to get across the country. I’d be embarrassed.

### 1/5 — 購入不可

*2022-02-05, version 2.2*

日本は買えないから意味なし…

### 1/5 — App is Useless

*2021-10-21*

There is very very little that you can do with this app. There’s no Account information to customize payments, addresses or access to information about your rewards. This is not worth the storage on your device, just use the website.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Easily my favourite brand

*2024-12-27, version 6.4*

Thought out. Great material. Comfortable. Waiting on more feminine colours and add-ons. Shipping to Canada taking longer at the moment.

Innovative design, efficient use of space, materials used perfect for daily use, and love color choices

### 5/5 — It’s my 12th AlpakaGear Purchase

*2024-05-07*

The title says it all! High quality products, built for high quality people.

### 5/5 — Excellent online experience

*2024-05-01, version 4.9*

The purchase experience on this app has been nothing but smooth

*2024-04-08*

Great card holder, seems high quality been using it for a month and no regrets!

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2024-04-07, version 4.9*

The app is super easy to use and responsive. 

Items are easy to find with using a dropdown list menu.

### 5/5 — Exceptionally good

*2024-03-01, version 4.8*

I have a hard life working at sea. 

Having a decent bag for my essentials is very important to me. This is my third alpaka bag of different styles, every bag I would routinely carry has been replaced by an alpaka product. 
So well thought out, utterly designed around the need for tough bags that work in synchrony with your body, not against. The water resistant zips are genius - wouldn’t suspect being watertight being dropped in the sea, but splashes and rain really don’t matter. 
Sleek and pickpocket resistant is brilliant.
From every day to travel they tick the boxes. The magnetic clip strap on the bravo is sublime - it’s almost like a fiddle toy it’s so tactile. 
Will be buying more as the constant improvements to the kit make it hard to resist. 

Thank you

H

### 5/5 — Function Meets Fashion

*2023-12-22*

Received an ad on Pinterest for an outlet sale of an ALPAKA gear item. After reviewing the item on Pinterest, and then on the website, I proceeded to purchase the item, and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the fabric, the material, and the EDC utility of the item. Will definitely be returning to purchase more full-size items instead of sling bags, because of how well this fits with my lifestyle. Would highly recommend to others who are looking for accessory bags to carry multiple items.
