Easy to use

The app is very easy to use and very useful to know if something is in stock at my local store or not.

Great company!

People that are working at Costco are always helpful. I really appreciate Costco’s commitment to being a good company, acknowledging the importance of DEI, and being
“One of the good ones“

This app sucks

Type in ground beef, and see what comes up.

Horrible UI

Couldn’t access my Costco wallet without having to go on my desktop to set everything up. App keeps telling me to re-sign in every dang time especially when the app is already updated.

Love shopping here

I discovered Costco during the pandemic. It became a rare and treasured outing. Thankfully that is behind us, but my love for the place remains. I spent my career as a consultant to organizations on matters of leadership, teamwork, and organizational effectiveness. And Costco nails it! Unreal prices, great products. Incredible brand and strong esprit de corps among staff. All their expansion (tires, services, tech) makes sense. They stay in their lane but somehow make it wider!

Plastic knives

When I can’t find the knives or any other item I go to the Costco app and order it and it’s very easy snd you get it fast

Warehouse search function sucks

I recently searched for "washing machine" because I wanted to see if you stocked washing machine cleaner. No results. I'm pretty sure you stock washing machines so there's no reason this should come up with no results.

BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD

User friendly

Invest in app seriously

Come on costco, lets invest some $ in the app. Must support apple wallet

It’s Costco, it basically works

Sometimes there are performance hitches while browsing the app but I still prefer it to the web

Doesn’t show purchase history

Very outdated and now for the last 3 months it won’t show my purchase history. It says it’s loading and then doesn’t do anything. As an employee of Costco I feel it is super outdated.

Order and Purchases does not open

To check your receipts under order and purchases it does not open ever! I hope this gets sorted and people can view their orders and purchases receipts of online and in warehouse receipts

Costco is family

I grew up going to Price Club which turned into Costco. You’ve been there for us when we needed to stretch the dollar. I will always love Costco. I’ve memorized how the layout is and walk down the aisles with excitement. I’m forever a fan and today I used the app, which was a very easy experience to use. I will still love going to the warehouse, but for those online only deals, I’m happy to use the app too. Great job Costco! Your fan in California- Lisa

Too many bugs!

I’ve been a Costco member for 16 years, but the app is honestly one of the most frustrating retail apps I use. It’s full of bugs and glitches.

It constantly struggles to load past purchases and update payment methods. It acts like it’s loading, but then nothing ever happens. Removing extra quantities from your cart is also unnecessarily difficult and clunky.

The only thing I consistently use the app for is scanning my membership card when I forget my physical card at home. Other than that, I’d rather use the Costco website because it’s far more reliable.

Costco, you have a great company, but this app needs serious attention. Developers, please do better.

For a company as large and respected as Costco, I expected a much smoother app experience. Right now, it feels unfinished and unreliable.

Great products

Have never been disappointed in your selections!
Thank you!

Take ages to load

Being such a giant company, Costco should improve their app performance and efficiency. Keeps on loading whenever I try to view my order and purchases

Buggy

Keeps looping when searching for an item.

Passkey prompt

Keeps prompting me to setup but doesn’t support Microsoft Authenticator. I can’t stop this annoying prompt

Excellent payment method

Best way to shop at Costco

Always glitching

This app is NOT user-friendly. It’s impossible to find things that are in stock in my local store. I type in simple things, like string cheese, and It shows me everything else that I don’t want! It’s frustrating! When I use other wholesale store apps, it’s never this complicated!! I absolutely HATE and have hated this app and they have not re vamped it in YEARS!!
