### 2/5 — It rarely works

*2025-11-19*

Use this app for SBux and it rarely works. 75% of the time “an error has occurred”. Makes it really hard to share recognition for partners, or recieve it in a timely fashion. Do better.

### 2/5 — Store opening in safari

*2025-09-05, version 1.31.0*

The catalog opens in safari instead of being part of the application.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2023-08-01*

Have to use this app for Starbucks and the option to recognize partners is not limited to my home store and the store of people is on their profile. this results in coworkers with more common names being impossible to distinguish from other people with the same name from different stores. also no way to add additional information or profile pictures to help. stupid app.

### 1/5 — Spinning wheel of death

*2023-07-19*

App never loads.

### 1/5 — Just make this a warehouse outage please

*2023-03-14*

The app is still somewhat glitchy, I don’t like how everything in this world has to be digitalized, and it won’t allow me to send green apron cards even though that’s what I’m supposed to use it for. Also, not to mention that this made the process more difficult to vote, and officially award partner of the quarter.

### 3/5 — Notifications

*2023-02-05, version 1.10.4*

Notifications do show in a timely manner. When they show it doesn’t clear them and stay highlighted for a long while after being read.
Doesn’t let you select an award level, or a simple recognition like before

### 2/5 — Can be frustrating

*2023-01-23*

This app is being mandated at Starbucks, we’re required to send ecards and vote for partner of the quarter through culture cloud. From my experience so far, the app works when it feels like it, sometimes it’ll operate as intended, sometimes when you go to send a message or post it will throw and error at you and you just have to try again later. Every time you open the app you have to enter your email and log in again. Not intuitive, barely functional.

### 1/5 — super laggy

*2023-01-10*

takes forever to load and then it doesn’t even load and says error

### 1/5 — Shady app.

*2022-12-30*

Extremely irritating that my company is pushing us to download and use an app that shares our information. Foul.

### 1/5 — Privacy Nightmare

*2022-12-17, version 1.10.0.814*

From what the iOS app collects, to the company’s policies and the policies of companies using this.

Free apps aren’t free unless their selling your information. Secondly Time Worked Is Time Paid.

### 3/5 — Getting Bettwe

*2022-11-30, version 1.10.0.814*

This app idea is awesome. Wish ther was some improvements. Like, uploading profile photo and a buttom to edit or delete a recognition card sent by mistake or misspelled. 

Thanks

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Corporate phones

*2026-04-07, version 1.37.2*

Can’t log in on corporate device. Use “Great Work” instead. That works.

### 1/5 — Does not make using the service easier.

*2025-12-21*

Apps should be a streamlined experience. Having to log in every time I try to use the app is cumbersome and is no easier than using the web interface. So I default to the web because it is so much simpler. The app takes too much time to do simple things. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2025-11-30*

Hasn’t worked in over a month. Trying to let my girls pick out some Christmas gifts and can’t login anywhere but work.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-29*

App does not work when you really need it

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-10-08*

This App will not let me sign up, I can use it on my work computer but there is not a verification code that I can use to sign up with to sync my account. Horrible app unfortunately, the old Great Works App worked great. I was able to link my account right away and use the app instead of having to go to work to use my points.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-09-09*

Everytime I log in there is a “issue with the catalog store” to try again later

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2025-05-20*

When I go to do features that the app is suppose to allow (for instance I work at Starbucks and I should be able to send people cards). This app is annoying and frustrating to deal with and I’m about ready to delete it.

### 1/5 — Terrible login

*2024-09-24*

Poorly designed app. May be my company but it seems every time you open this app you have to go through the entire login process. Ridiculous and not user friendly at all, yet that is exactly what my company probably desires. 
Whoever designed this app has never used it like an actual user.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-09-01*

You can tell the developer never uses the app because you have to relogin every time you use the app ro switch from iPad to iPhone. Ridiculous. People that develop apps should be required to actually use the app before it is approved.

### 1/5 — Terrible integration with any company

*2024-04-01*

Virtually zero integration with any companies employee list. Our company uses employee numbers, yet this app doesn’t do that. Well, it randomly does but the chances of it working is virtually zero.  Than you are forced to search by name which is brilliant, if everyone had a different name. You just get an email address that shows up, yet you don’t know which one is the duplicate person, and you have no way to know.
It’s just another app that the developers never use, and the HR departments never get out into the field to see how it is used.

*2020-08-27*

I love the Culture Cloud app. I love how easy it is to give recognition and how easy it is to set up 1 to 1 topics with the people I work with.

### 3/5 — App not working

*2025-04-06*

This App will not let me sign up, I can use it on my work computer but there is not a verification code that I can use to sign up with to sync my account
