please fix your app

i don’t know why the app and website carts aren’t synced. sometimes you can’t even see your order history. additionally, i would like the option to add my membership card to my apple wallet, not to mention the app is really glitchy in general. if you’re going to make an app at least make sure it functions properly!

Used to be good, now it’s awful

This app used to be good before the update, now it’s awful. You can’t search anything up. It doesn’t show you your cart. I have to search on my laptop just to order books. How do you update an app and make it worse?!?!?! Do Better!!!!!!

Infuriating

I downloaded this app last week. I’m appalled. The in-app order history doesn’t show up. The “nearby store” search function doesn’t work. There is no indication a book is out of stock in-store until checkout. Certain account information (i.e., phone number, address) has to be manually input by an associate in-store. These are only a few of the issues I’ve encountered.

The amount of issues with this app indicates a lack of competency or a disregard for the users.

literally worst app

a multi million dollar company can make an app that works better. this app sucks

Bad, bare-bones app

Sure, you can search for titles and whatnot, but why can't I just set a preferred store/location once so the app can tell me right away if a store has my chosen title in stock? Why do I have to keep typing in my Zip Code to choose a location for every title? This is slow and inconvenient. Not to mention the fact that every title I want is out of stock at my closest location, but that's another issue altogether.
