### 2/5 — Apple wallet

*2026-06-11, version 3.33.0*

Give up apple wallet card. I hate to instal your app just to show my membership.

### 1/5 — CANNOT login !!

*2026-03-14, version 3.30.1*

App is very buggy, I don’t get how this can happen for a large company like Costco. Can’t even login to my account to show my digital membership !!

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2026-03-10, version 3.30.1*

No matter how many times I set a new password, put the right password in, delete the app, re-install, clear cache etc, I’m never able to set the app up meaning I can use the digital membership.

### 1/5 — App needs fixing

*2026-01-23, version 3.29.2*

After latest IOS update app is unusable. When I open it starts switching pages and won’t stop. Please fix it

### 2/5 — Auto Renew Now

*2026-01-18, version 3.29.2*

I tried doing auto renewal through the app using a new Credit Card but seems useless. 
I wonder if I have made multiple payments since I had to retry several times. 
I also registered my my new address as I just moved.

### 1/5 — Bosch wiper blades

*2026-01-09, version 3.29.2*

When I type in the search section “Bosch wiper blades “ nothing comes up. I tried different words. Nothing works. Also when you try to type in something what you looking for never shows the right result.

### 2/5 — Cannot retrieve orders

*2026-01-06, version 3.29.2*

When I try and access orders from a month ago it says Failed to load orders

### 1/5 — Crashed as soon as it opened

*2025-12-07, version 3.29.2*

Crashed

### 1/5 — Cannot buy anything

*2025-11-26, version 3.29.2*

Tried to buy an item in my basket for days now. Won’t proceed to checkout when clicking the button. The button just keeps showing loading.

### 1/5 — Keep forgetting passwords

*2025-11-24, version 3.29.2*

Every time I log in it says wrong email , username or password , I keep changing my password and it says the same thing so I can not log in or add my digital photo

### 1/5 — I can not register

*2025-11-09, version 3.29.2*

I have just registering for the app. Filled all my details in and now saying there is an error and cannot register! Just wasted my time on a useless app!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-10-24, version 3.28.1*

I am trying to access my digital membership card. When pressing submit for my photo it says “impossible to register digital membership, please check your membership”. This error message is pretty useless as it doesn’t explain what is actually wrong. I asked in store and they had no idea how to fix it.

### 1/5 — Not renewing

*2025-10-23, version 3.28.1*

Pointless app. Doesn’t update renewed Costco cards or let you renew credit card. Also didn’t save pwd to apple. So couldn’t attempt to fix issues by logging back in.

### 1/5 — Sign in

*2025-09-26, version 3.28.1*

Download the app but can’t get past log in as pop up glitches and blocks the verification code box. Tried several times now. Same problem every time. Poorly thought out sign in process

### 2/5 — Update crashes

*2025-09-25, version 3.28.1*

Second update Ive made and both times the update hangs before completing. Cannot cancel the update like you are able to with any other app - not sure why. 
Reloaded update and Costco install still shows not complete but app works🤔

### 1/5 — Poor Features

*2025-09-20, version 3.28.0*

I use the app to view details and hopefully shop, however I get to cart and then can’t go beyond that and then have to go online to make a purchase. Very poor that a company as large as Costco can’t get this right.

### 2/5 — Cannot Access Digital Card

*2025-09-13, version 3.27.0*

It will not me photograph myself so I can register my digital card. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled- still nothing

### 1/5 — Keeping’s crashing

*2025-09-03, version 3.27.0*

Keeps crashing when you open the app

### 1/5 — Waste app

*2026-06-25, version 3.33.0*

I have been trying to reset my password for last three days. No customer care representative is picking up my call either

### 1/5 — A Hashem

*2026-06-10, version 3.33.0*

The app shows my membership is expired and I have renewed from May 31 and still haven’t updated after 2 weeks

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work!

*2026-06-09, version 3.33.0*

Completely useless app. Will not send validation code, only an email to say I’m trying to use the app! Useless!

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-05-28, version 3.32.0*

Can’t even create an account on the app. Tried registering and it said it would send a verification code to my email address. After three attempts of trying to get it to re-send the code I gave up. And of course, there is no other way to set up the account. Rubbish.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-19, version 3.32.0*

Useless app, can’t even log on after changing my password 1000 times

### 1/5 — Digital membership card

*2026-05-15, version 3.32.0*

Cannot use the app when in store’s wifi is not strong enough and hold up the whole paying process! 
Then Digital membership card suddenly disappeared and needed to retake photo, reactivate in store.

### 1/5 — Can’t register on app

*2026-04-26*

Had to apply for a new card as I lost my last one. Saw the advert for the digital card on the app. Thought it might be a good idea in case I lose the physical card again! However, I can’t get past the registration page! I can fill in everything correctly, but it says something has gone wrong and to try later. After multiple attempts over a few days, I’m done with it. Now I know why the staff didn’t try and promote it!

### 1/5 — Membership expired problem!!!!

*2026-04-09, version 3.31.1*

My actual card has one year membership but the APP shows it has expired?!!! I have been using the APP for a few years without any issues until now! I was told by COSTCO staff that delete and reinstall might solve the problem, sadly it didn’t.

### 1/5 — CHECKOUT NEVER WORKS

*2026-03-28*

This app is utterly useless, I have tried at least two dozen times to make a successful checkout using this app and not a single time does it work. I have uninstalled and re-installed, added new payment methods, deleted them, re-added them and nothing will stop the app from erroring when I come to pay via any payment method. Card, Apple Pay, whichever I choose the app doesn’t work. I’m sure I can’t be the only one given the apps abysmal overall rating. 
Pretty impressive for a business to make an app so bad it can’t take your money.

### 1/5 — No Quality App

*2026-03-22, version 3.31.0*

The app on iOS not allowing to login despite username and password correct. I can login on desktop browser and Android app but not in this bugs ridden iPhone app.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 4/5 — Buy now failure

*2026-05-26, version 3.32.0*

The buy now button is very easy to miss click, I’ve had to cancel two orders, I was just scrolling

### 4/5 — Sept 2025 the app just doesn’t work - turns out that I was using a VPN which stopped it working

*2025-09-02, version 3.27.0*

I thought that the app and website were down. It turns out t had I had a VPN turned on which stopped it working

### 4/5 — Petrol

*2025-05-14, version 3.24.2*

Can I use it for petrol yet?

### 4/5 — Why no Digital Membership Card?

*2025-04-28, version 3.24.1*

App perfectly ok but why cant UK
members access a digital membership card like other worldwide members?

### 4/5 — Good app but could be better

*2025-04-17, version 3.24.1*

It would be nice if there was a way to see how much your total cash back was for gold membership and maybe a way to scan your shopping as you shop .

### 4/5 — App phone heats up

*2025-04-15, version 3.24.0*

The app makes the iPhone 15 pro max heat up otherwise a great app to use

### 4/5 — Digital card is great, but no Wallet support!

*2024-03-25*

They finally switched to allowing you to use a digital membership card just on the app! Gone are the days of showing up at the membership counter to ask for a little piece of paper with your number on it! 

However they’ve not yet fully implemented it properly, as there’s no support for adding the card to Apple Wallet, and the card does not work on the fuel stations either, so keep that in mind if you’re looking to use it!

### 4/5 — Good, but needs digital membership card

*2023-05-17*

The app loads nice and fast, and navigation is fairly easy once you get the hang of it. But it feels very disconnected from the physical stores. For example, the product range is very limited compared to in-store.

Mine keeps recommending I upgrade my membership to the same membership I already have, so that’s weird. (Using latest iOS, valid membership and auto-renew is active)

Overall a good and working app, but it could be made a lot more useful by adding a wider product range, a digital membership card and an in-store order history.

### 3/5 — Missed opportunity

*2025-07-04*

The app stores customers digital membership card which you need to show in the wear house for entry and purchase. The problem is that it needs connectivity to show the membership. Our Costco store doesn't have mobile coverage by the tills. There are long queues at the tills made even longer by not being able to show your membership store without walking back to the exit where there is mobile single and running back to the till so they can scan your card.

Why not allow the card to be displayed in the app without needing a connection, or give us the option to save the card to the apple wallet, or provide guest wifi access for customers. It's a painful experience currently. Hopefully the feedback can be listened to and is useful.

### 3/5 — Basically useless until you forget your card

*2025-07-04*

For an app in 2025, this app is basically pointless unless you shop online or need to use the digital card. The app like redirecting back to their webpage in the app then what’s the point the app. And you cant even add your card to apple wallet when most costco you usually have no signal to even open the app. You cant see your visit history or have e-receipts.
