### 2/5 — It keeps freezing

*2023-04-16, version 26.18*

And isn’t letting me update very easily

### 2/5 — Can’t even use it

*2023-04-16, version 26.18*

I’d love to give a fair rating but it doesn’t send me the verification email at all (I’ve checked spam/ uninstalled and reinstalled- it never comes)…. And I’m registered here. Navigating the website/ registry on my phone is such a pain so this is frustrating.

### 1/5 — Was great until the update

*2023-04-03, version 26.16*

I loved this app but was forced to update. Now I can’t shop at all! It just freezes and glitches.

### 1/5 — Store closing

*2023-03-21, version 26.15*

If the store is going out of business does that mean the website and my baby registry is no longer as well?

### 1/5 — Always freezes

*2023-03-20, version 26.14*

I don’t know what’s up with this app but every time I open it up it glitches or freezes

### 1/5 — Terrible app experience

*2023-03-19, version 26.14*

The app freezes almost every single time I use it and makes me sign back in to see my registry even though I was literally just looking at it. If and when the app finally loads, it lags horribly. It also seems like the app has not been formatted for mobile. The app view is just a scrunched version of desktop view.

### 1/5 — Don’t love the app

*2023-03-17, version 26.14*

The app is slow and seems old and not updated which makes it not very functional.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2023-03-16, version 26.14*

This app is horrible! Hard to navigate, not user friendly at all.

### 2/5 — Update made things worse

*2023-03-16, version 26.13*

I used this app last year for my registry (baby shower Aug ‘22) and it worked really well, while there were some hiccups it wasn’t enough to get frustrated as I could just log into the web browser. But now as of March ‘23 I can say that the app is completely useless. The update that was made while aesthetically it looks better and the UI is cleaned up, every time I go on the app it freezes and I have to shut it down at least 3-4 times just for me to scroll. When you use the search bar and the options pop up you can select one of the suggestions like before because of it freezing. I have to tap on a selection several times before it takes me to it. At this point I’m very trying to use the app and I’ll just go in the store as it’s very close to me or use the web browser. It’s more convenient for me to use the bed bath and beyond app to search for items than this app.

### 1/5 — App instantly crashes when you try to open your one baby registry

*2023-03-04, version 26.12*

For both my wife’s app and my app it instantly crashes when we try to open our baby registry. The store couldn’t get it to open we can’t get it to either. This happens every single time without fail. The only reason really for bye-bye baby is baby registries and he still can’t figure out how to fix your app? Sad and pathetic.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2023-02-24, version 26.11*

This is my first ever baby registry created. As I first-time parent this will probably be the first and last time I create a registry with this company. The app never seems to function, it is constantly freezing and the information never seems to be accurate. I have had to call customer service many times regarding an order placed through my registry. Sometimes the person that has purchased an item for me through my registry wouldn’t know what the status of the order is until I advise them of it. The package will be either out of stock when it was in stock in the first place, lost in transit, or just never shipped. The actual buyer wouldn’t even get notified,  of what is going on with the items they have purchased. When an item has been purchased it doesn’t take the item off the list or label it as purchased, I have had so many duplicate items sent to me, and the frustrating part is that the only way to return it will be to physically return it to the store, I don’t understand why I can’t have it shipped back to the store! The app doesn’t always notify me when an item has been purchased on my registry, or sometimes it doesn’t show all of the purchases which makes it hard to create my thank you list. I have had to take a different route to create my thank you list. The last time I spoke with a customer service agent was at the beginning of February, I was supposed to receive a $50 store credit and I have yet to see it in my account. Overall the staff, app, and website are terrible!

### 3/5 — Shopping for Nothing

*2023-02-23, version 26.10*

I gave the rating I did because my last couple orders have items that were to be delivered within a few days of placing order; then delivery date(s) kept being extended until items were eventually cancelled by store without notification to me.  If it were only 1 or 2 items I probably would not have been so disappointed; however, it has been at least 10+ individual items.

### 1/5 — App is T R A S H

*2023-02-20, version 26.10*

I love shopping here and have my registry through them. However the app is probably the worst thing to ever have been created. It lags like crazy, and now I’m no longer able to login to my account and update my register or anything like that. HORRIBLE app INCREDIBLY frustrating. You would think for such a big company their app would be better. But sadly is wildly disappointing. 10/10 do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2023-02-20, version 26.10*

This app is terrible. I tried scanning things in store to add to my registry and their stores block cell service. Every time I go to the register the app freezes when trying to pull up coupons. I never get a discount. Worst app.

### 2/5 — Not accessible with Voiceover

*2023-02-20, version 26.10*

To log in or create an account in the app it is not accessible with voiceover. When trying to create my registry it was also not accessible with voiceover. To buy into shop is accessible with voiceover however, I cannot view or edit my baby registry because it is not accessible with voiceover. I was actually disappointed because, the bed Bath and beyond App was more accessible than this. I love the store and the people there are very helpful it’s a shame the app is this bad.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used merchandise sold

*2024-12-10, version 28.28*

I bought a Cocomelon train and the box was obviously opened and taped back but half the box was missing.  Then I had to fight with them to get it returned and now they only gave me a partial refund.

### 1/5 — Not functioning

*2023-07-04, version 26.25*

The app is not allowing me to check out the products

### 1/5 — Registry

*2023-06-22, version 26.24*

You said there would be access to our daughter’s baby registry that a third party was taking over!  You should not have allowed creation of new baby registries when you knew you were closing!  It’s been a nightmare for us!  If I could give you a negative less than 0 rating I would !

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-05-26, version 26.21*

That’s why I go through Amazon now they have almost everything buy-buy baby has

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2023-05-03, version 26.18*

The app is soooo glitchy you can’t even scroll through a page properly. Than u go to search “socks” or “pants” and it says 0 items found but it’ll pop up in the categories. Actually annoying

### 1/5 — My order was canceled for no reason!!

*2023-04-20, version 26.18*

Horrible!!!

I purchased items and received a receipt. Then several days later I was told the order was cancelled!! Ridiculous!

The representative had NO explanation as to why the order was cancelled. It was a baby shower gift and they NEVER received in time for the baby shower!

I will NEVER order from you again.

### 1/5 — Freezes!

*2023-04-20, version 26.18*

Super slow

### 1/5 — Welcome rewards free shipping for 7 days

*2023-04-17, version 26.18*

Have tried for 2 days to make my first purchase and talked with customer service as well. I still have shipping fee when I try to check out. Not the best first experience with BuyBuy Baby.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-04-16, version 26.18*

The app freezes all the time and I can’t access my past orders because it’s endlessly loading. It’s easier to quickly order essentials elsewhere when faced with using this app.

### 1/5 — THEY WILL ROB YOU

*2023-04-04, version 26.16*

i ordered a crib and baby tub the SAME DAY they took out the money $250.61 dollars they Conveniently canceled my order ?! I called customer service and she literally said “I’m not sure why they canceled it it’s under investigation” I have to wait 24-72 hours to hear back and if I want a refund it could take up to a week. To top this off on this order I received ZERO “points”. I learned my lesson with this website/app never again!

### 5/5 — Thank you for all the great products

*2023-08-07, version 26.25*

Thanks to everyone who worked at Bye-bye baby! It must be very hard to see everything gone. After Toys-R-Us, Bye-bye baby was the only store for kids and now they are gone. It’s sad to see these stores closing one after another and Amazon is getting bigger and stronger every day.

### 5/5 — So long, friends

*2023-04-27, version 26.18*

Five stars for everyone at Bed Bath and Buy Buy Baby who has worked hard to make our experience special. Nothing but good memories shopping our stores, especially when our baby was new.

### 5/5 — Love the app and store

*2023-04-12, version 26.18*

All I do is BUY BUY for my Baby!  Lol
Love the store and the online shopping experience.  Only place I go for large baby items since who else is there?

### 5/5 — Love this store but please fix the app

*2023-03-30, version 26.15*

Seriously the most amazing store for expecting moms… or just parents who are wanting to try out/see different products without having to buy. But the app lags alot. I love being able to get points and money back. Thank you BBB!!!

### 5/5 — Buy buy baby the best baby store around town

*2023-03-22, version 26.15*

Honestly but buy baby is the only option for me to buy baby goods from. That’s why me and my family have come to love it. We bought our baby seat from here. We bought our first three baby strollers from here. We bought diapers all the time from here with our first baby just because it was fun to stop into a baby store as first time parents. Every time we stopped inside we also ended up buying cute baby outfits and cute blankets and whatever other cute thing we saw for our baby including toys and bottles. It’s like a small shopping destination especially built for mothers and highly engaged fathers like myself I must say. 

Love this store. Brings me memories of toys r us when it was around.

### 5/5 — Love the Ease

*2022-12-22, version 26.6*

The app is completely user friendly and it even reminds you of the coupons you have at your disposal. No more annoying a feeling than submitting your payment and then realizing you forgot to use your 20% off coupon.

### 5/5 — Such an amazing staff!

*2022-12-04*

I came in yesterday & was helped by Samantha. She was the absolute sweetest & super knowledgeable about the crib I was wanting to purchase! She made me feel super comfortable and happy with my choice of crib & gave me very honest opinions which I truly appreciated! 
I came in today to look at strollers and was helped by Talia who was also so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and demonstrated for me how the stroller comes apart and all it’s different features!
I really appreciate the both of them for easing the stress of looking for the perfect items as a first time mom to be! There’s so many different products it can get stressful, so thank you both so much! You’re extremely appreciated! Happy holidays!

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we love to go above and beyond for our guests! Please feel welcome to stop by any time, best wishes from all of us at buybuyBaby!

### 5/5 — New momma

*2021-06-07, version 22.3.3*

Buybuy Baby has helped me every step so far for this new momma. They calmed my nerves and pointed me in the right direction and were very knowledgeable and helpful. They were so interested about my journey of becoming an intended parent and using a surrogate because of not being able to be pregnant due to health issues. They truly made me that much more excited for my journey! Thank you for that!

### 5/5 — Buy buy baby

*2021-05-10*

This store has become my favorite store ever! I have purchased many things for my cousin, best friend and sister for two babies that are on the way and one grandchild, also my great niece. 
Everything has come so fast and in perfect condition and absolutely wonderful!! I now have my cousin and best friend using the app to purchase things for the babies on the way, because I have bragged so much about the store! 
I absolutely will continue to buy for each of them until they outgrow it and hopefully by then more babies will be on the way. 
Thank you so much for being our number one go to baby store and also for accepting afterpay!!! Being able to use Afterpay was a huge plus for us too!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the wonderful review! We wish all the best to you and your growing family - it truly brightens our day to know you have enjoyed shopping with us so much, and we absolutely look forward to serving you next time!

### 5/5 — Great place!!

*2021-04-19, version 22.1.1*

Love everything I have purchased here!  Took my Son and daughter-n-law shopping here for stroller and car seat.  They not only had what we were needing they also had it on display. 
It was fun watching my son and his wife playing with the stroller and car seat combo I was gifting them.
