The title says it all!

### 3/5 — Separate language from country

*2019-09-08, version 4.881*

The app would be more useful if the developers could add a feature to separate the language of the app from the country of residence. Ie/ English language on alza.cz delivery. Thanks

### 5/5 — Dobře to je

*2019-09-06*

Jako servis výborný ale chtělo bychom levnější zboží

### 4/5 — Snazi se...

*2017-06-04*

Je videt snaha, aplikace se postupne vylepsuje... Ale nektere veci stale funguji na webu vyrazne lepe. V posledni verzi treba nejde vybrat doprava alza express...

Aplikace je fajn, clovek rychle najde co potrebuje - chce-li to ale koupit, napojeni na bankovni sluzby je pomalejsi, pada a meli by na tom jeste zapracovat..

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Nags for rating

*2024-01-30, version 135.0*

Nags for rating breaking Apple terms and annoying users.

Learn.

### 1/5 — No customer service

*2022-06-03, version 92.2*

I tried to pick up my package.
The bank terminal at box didn't worked. Tried to pay online... didn't worked. Tried to call the customer service: they are closed :)
1h wasted. Thanks

### 1/5 — Impossible to register

*2022-05-23, version 92.1*

I got 20 emails with your verification code. Where should I put it? Nothing happens. Crazy crazy for such a huge business not to invest in good UX

### 1/5 — Poor customer service / return policy

*2021-06-22*

Easy to buy. Hard to return. They stifle all reviews on web site and not on google reviews. If you may need to return abs item better to go to local retailer.

### 1/5 — Forced upgrade

*2019-09-15*

I do not like the fact Alza is forcing me to upgrade the App. Right now is not a good moment, it could wait for few days. Hey, Alza you need to version your backend APIs.

### 1/5 — Getting better but...

*2016-05-02*

Some recent improvements to the returns department helpful and
this ordering application works somewhat well however...

Alza the company provides no competent human service for faulty products, refunds, or returns.

The problem then becomes solely the customers responsibility.

They do not use or respond to telephones, nor have any inter-office communications. It then becomes a "Kafka-esque" rabbit hole of burecratic denial and web based complaint forms.

No formal EU level customer support training for staff yet.

While the purchasing process has been simplified, customer support is then passed along to the manufacturer, and this retailer will not be concerned with solving or processing your concerns.

A narrow profit margin requires a narrow business plan to encourage return customers.

Will not be returning to use this application or support this company.

Keep trying Alza. Improvements  do not qualify success.

Customer satisfaction should be your ONLY objective.

Thank You.

### 1/5 — Hrůza

*2016-03-02, version 4.1*

Naprosto k ničemu. Platba nelze odeslat, aplikace se neustále seká. Nevím, kdo měl tento ohromný nápad sloučit Publero s Alza.cz.

### 2/5 — Held together by gum

*2024-11-27*

A miracle of engineering. I believe its developers are the praying type

### 2/5 — iPad version is not meant for iPad

*2024-02-13, version 136.0*

The version for iPad is iOS version, just enlarged. Everything just looks bigger and thats it. It looks ugly and regular iPadOS control doesn't work. 

You cannot go back to previous page with simple left to right gesture, touchpad two-finger gesture doesn't work either. When you open the picture, you cannot just use slide down gesture, like in Photos app and Esc key doesn't work either.

If at least the buttons for going back would be on the same spot on the screen, but they are offset by a quite a significant margin, so you have to constantly keep looking, where the back button is.

This inconsistency is so frustrating, I just close the app when I am frustrated enough and find it elsewhere in another shop. It's more productive and saves me a lot of time and nerves (and possibly a lot of broken iPads).

Oh, and PayPal payments doesn't work either, I have to pay over the web, if I want to utilise PayPal.

### 2/5 — Good apps Bad packaging

*2020-08-25, version 4.952*

Store and app are fine... sending £400 of Lego in bubble wrap and a bin bag isn’t.  

Cardboard was invented a long time ago.  Use it.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Constantly impressed…for 10 years

*2025-05-17*

I’ve shopped at alza and datart and places in Germany for years and Alza is constantly impressing me.  Their focus on making the buying process easy.. from realistic and relevant suggestions to buying and delivering fast so many options…to zero hassle returns.   I love this place.  Makes adulting just a bit easier.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-05-10*

Easy to order and manage

### 5/5 — Lehký nákup

*2025-05-07*

Alza má široký výběr, rozumné ceny, je lehké pro mě vyzvednout zboží z AlzaBoxu a zboží je připraveno rychle, dost často už další den

### 5/5 — Awesome Service

*2022-05-16, version 92.0*

Love the speed of delivery, especially with AlzaBoxes.

App is easy to use, does everything that is required.

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2022-03-18*

Great

**Developer response:** Hello Gem-i, thank you for the positive feedback, we appreciate it! Have a great day, Vojtěch, customer care.

### 5/5 — Slick app that just works.

*2021-12-14*

My only complaint is the app makes it too easy to part ways with my money.

### 5/5 — English Speaking

*2021-10-01*

I am enjoying Alza very much. If it would be possible to message me in English rather than Czech, I would appreciate it. I am an American living as a full-time resident in the Czech Republic. Thank you.
Henry Williams

**Developer response:** Hi Henry, thanks a lot for your feedback! Unlike the app interface (which is translated) we are currently unable to send messages in different languages to .CZ store accounts, but it's something we could sort out in the future! Thank you for your patience. Regards, Alza.

### 5/5 — Porovnat

*2021-03-20*

Chybí mi funkce porovnat. Nebo jsem ji jen nenašel???

**Developer response:** Mockrát děkujeme za hodnocení! Porovnávač zboží prozatím v aplikaci nemáme, ale v budoucnu jej do ní budeme chtít určitě také propašovat :-). Hezký den, Alza.

### 5/5 — Wonderful service

*2021-02-17*

Always quality always on time

### 5/5 — ALZA always satisfies

*2021-01-17*

This app is great when ordering from ALZA! Skip the lines and pay boxes. It’s very convenient to order something and hit the button so when you arrive at a showroom your order is waiting for you. ALZA has great customer service and I’m happy to be able to shop and handle everything from my phone!
