User reviews

Info is out of date.

A lot of the reviews here seem to be out of date. Just as an example the number one rated laundry detergent is Tide Ultra Stain Release. However, after not being able to find it at my store, I contacted the manufacturer who told me it hasn’t been made for over two years.

Resets to Home Screen and poor search

The info is good and the UI is easy to use. However, if you click away from the app for too long, it resets to the Home Screen with no easy click back to where you were. Also the search is terrible. Search “dishwasher” and it pulls up the “dishwasher detergent” category then a bunch of individual dishwashers. The “dishwashers” category doesn’t come up - pesky plural.

App not functioning on my iPhone. Will only search with camera and won’t process the picture

Something is terribly wrong with this app. Can’t search or navigate. Can’t even use the AI feature. You need to test before launching revisions

Less Content Than Website

Why does the Consumer Reports iPhone app not contain all of the daily news articles that are emailed to me?

Seems like the app only contains a small portion of the content available on the website.

When it works

When the app works it is great and I have used it for years. Just went to open it and use it and if locks on the green launch screen. Yes, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it.

Based on reviews many people have this issue and it has been going on long enough for you all to have fixed it by now.
