### 3/5 — App feedback

*2026-08-21, version 5.12.5*

The transaction on app does not show detail.  I’d like to see what was actually ordered when on this section.

### 3/5 — it won’t let me order online 😭😭

*2026-08-20, version 5.12.5*

this app always has some kind of weird bug and it’s not fair for the baristas to serve as tech support!!!!!!! i’m just tryna order my tea bro!!

### 4/5 — Love Caribou

*2026-08-20, version 5.12.5*

I’m really liking the new app and the ease of it. I think the best enhancement is having the rewards show up right away vs clicking somewhere else to see what’s available. There’s only one option I wish was available when customizing: rather than ‘regular’ or ‘half’ for syrups, choosing the number of pumps would be great!

### 3/5 — Best

*2026-08-18, version 5.12.5*

Caribou has the best flavors && absolutely love how easy the perk system is !

### 2/5 — Free drink up to 200pts

*2026-08-05, version 5.12.5*

When I first joined it was 150. And no max price, whereas now it’s $10. To have to download an app and they’re likely selling your data, I’d rather just delete it and support a different locally owned coffee shop and go back to the paper punch cards.

### 5/5 — Great coffee

Caribou is great and the app provides some really beneficial perks.

### 5/5 — Best Coffee

*2026-07-17, version 5.12.4*

In my humble opinion, I believe caribou has the best coffee in the industry. Keep up the great work! Down side is that their mics never work. Really hard to hear when ordering.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-07, version 5.12.4*

Use the app all the time. Super convenient

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2026-07-07, version 5.12.4*

Many different options to choose from I’ve tried my favorite drink is the caramel high-rise, shaken espresso, & I do want to say the coffee is way better than Starbucks hands down

### 5/5 — “The drinks”

*2026-07-06, version 5.12.4*

Always friendly as nice people.

### 1/5 — App Quality Eroding

*2026-08-18, version 5.12.5*

I’ve been an avid user for years, but the last few months have been a steady decline in app quality. Unable to place orders, poor (seemingly AI) design updates, and glitchy effects make me not want to use it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2026-08-17, version 5.12.5*

The app always says “oops! We spilled our coffee” anytime I try to use it. It’s been months and still isn’t working. What’s the deal? I’m specifically trying to order the strawberry pineapple energy drink.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-08-05, version 5.12.5*

I have attempted to use the app several times. I get notifications for promotions. However, when I try to scan the ID code, use the number for the drive through or my phone number, I am not recognized as an account holder.  No credits to my rewards account.

### 1/5 — Caribou service sucks

*2026-06-07, version 5.12.3*

I don’t know why but every time o order whether it’s online or in store they always forget parts of my orders. Whether it’s a missing meal or dessert. They can only do coffee stay away if you want anything other than coffee.

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional app

*2026-05-12, version 5.12.3*

Never properly tracks delivery orders and doesn’t text anymore

### 1/5 — Breaking policy

*2026-04-29, version 5.12.3*

Doesn’t have separate “ads/marketing” notification setting which is against Apple’s TOS

### 1/5 — FINALLY FIXED

*2026-04-28, version 5.12.3*

It was crashing for a few weeks…..but now is working again. 🥳

### 1/5 — Fix. It.

*2026-04-26, version 5.12.2*

When will it work??? Crashing every time now. When it does work,  it's pretty slow, and I don't dare move from wifi to data because it freezes. Never suggests favorited locations and forgets favorites drinks. Good thing the coffee and staff are amazing! App is a necessary evil at this point.

### 1/5 — Faulty

*2026-04-26, version 5.12.2*

Worked just fine until recently. Now the app crashes. I deleted it and redownloaded it multiple times. Guess I won’t be purchasing from Caribou anymore.

### 1/5 — Fails to open

*2026-04-25, version 5.12.2*

Just downloaded app. Attempt to open. Splash page comes up and app closes. Have to work from website. Needs an update.
