### 1/5 — Omits basic functionality to force customers into holding gift card balances

*2025-11-25*

The app covers most of the things that you would expect like ordering ahead of time and rewards points. However, it won’t let you simply pay for your order with a credit card. It forces you to load up a Compass gift card balance in preset amounts, which leaves you perpetually with some remaining balance. There is no good faith reason for this. It is simply anti-customer behavior. I strongly suspect they do so in order to take the sum of those forced balances and use it as savings or investment capital to generate some return. Give us the option but don’t force our hand. I want to pay for my coffee straight up.

### 5/5 — So Great

*2025-11-01, version 1.12.0*

Good bites, good times.

### 1/5 — Do not use

*2025-10-02, version 1.12.0*

App holds your money hostage with no way to spend it all and you can only reload in specific denominations - so they literally designed it to rip you off. Terrible way to do business.

### 1/5 — $25 for latte

*2025-08-05, version 1.12.0*

It auto loaded without my permission so I ended up paying $25 for a $5 latte. Not a user friendly app. Oh and it placed the order at a different location.

### 2/5 — Double check your order location!

*2025-08-02*

This app is just OK for a coffee shop. What makes it terrible is that it always defaults the last location that you ordered from and it doesn’t prompt you to ask check if that’s the right location. Even though I’m literally a block away from one location it let me lets me default to a different location. I have now ordered my coffee. I have now orders ahead to pick up at to the wrong location three times in a month.  This never happens with Peet’s or Starbucks and is a major feature flaw

### 2/5 — No Balance tab

*2025-05-28, version 1.12.0*

They’ve taken away the ability to see what your balance is for some reason. It’s important to bring this feature back ASAP

### 1/5 — Enough with the reloads

*2025-05-01, version 1.12.0*

Allow to pay by card per transaction without reloads like every other coffee app and maybe people would use it

### 5/5 — Best coffee app!!

*2025-04-24, version 1.11.2*

Makes my morning so much better. I pre-order and pick up on my way into work! It’s the best. I love the sugar free vanilla because it’s monk fruit sugar!

### 2/5 — Reload only

*2025-03-10, version 1.11.2*

Couple of things: reload only ($25), reward program is surprisingly unrewarding, and there’s only one out of five times that my order is actually prepared by the store.

### 1/5 — Hilariously Slow App

*2025-02-27, version 1.11.2*

I was able to walk to compass coffee before the app managed to load and log me in.
