### 2/5 — Update is atrocious

*2026-07-06, version 1.5.3*

Ever since the update 9/10 items I scan at ANY location show product not found. So I have to try and find an in store scanner, which many stores don’t have. I was hopeful the update would make price checking easier and more accurate not 5x worse than before

### 2/5 — Update is awful

*2026-06-29, version 1.5.2*

The updates made a week ago, make the app unreliable and practically useless. Fix the app revert back to the previous version until you fix the bugs.

### 3/5 — Updates

*2026-06-29, version 1.5.2*

The app doesn’t give correct prices. It needs to be fixed asap.  Especially product not found.  I feel like over half the product says that.

### 3/5 — 75 bad /25 good on app

*2026-06-26, version 1.5.2*

This app needs to let a customer know it’s a .1penny and not just,” product not found” and if the item can’t be bought then just give it to the customer . Like why not ? Send it back to a company or the trash when the person took about probably an hour finding penny items . Also there should be scanners at every store and they should be working!! Do better dollar tree on your employers that don’t want to let loyal customers buy penny items or items that can’t be rung, just give it to the customer !!!!!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Please fix update

*2026-06-23, version 1.5.2*

I love this app for the price scanner as our local store does not have a scanner and everything in the store is not the same price anymore. However since the last update so much comes up product not found. Please fix this!!

### 3/5 — System update??

*2026-06-20, version 1.5.2*

6-20-26 review. I’m giving you guys 3 stars for now due to a lot of products is not listed on the app. A lot of Bpure brand, war head, glade, some of crayola, socks and so on. When are you guys updating this? Other than that this is a friendly user app. I love that u don’t have to keep clicking button to check price. you can keep scanning items without going back and forth for the price scanner. Keep up the good work. I’ll update my rating once you guys updated the app.

### 2/5 — Needs expanded

*2026-06-18, version 1.5.2*

DT app is underwhelming.  There’s so much more that would be great if it could do.  #1 frustration is the limited favorites list. #2 Need to be able to order from the app. #3 Easier functionality to show closest availability if something is not in stock at my store from favorites list. I’m in a DT an avg of 2x a week just to find items and I have to try 3 different stores to find things.

### 3/5 — Not Fully Optimized

*2026-06-05*

As much as I love Dollar Tree, I feel like the app is useless. This can go in many different directions as this app has so much potential, they only show you a fraction of what product stores nearby you sell, so out of the thousands of products in store, the app will show 1/10 of it, you can’t buy anything on their app minimum quantity or no minimum quantity, and the app is inaccurate, showing no stock on products that in-stores do have. A feature I wish existed was a buy online and pick up in store option was available, the amazing store prices online and just show up and pick it up, no long lines and strain on store fronts and price gouging or restrictions to how much you can buy one item. Please do something with this app, you have the funds to do so.

### 2/5 — Useless trash

*2026-06-03, version 1.5.1*

the website on safari or google browsers has a different inventory and stock availability than the app. so what's the point of the app if it's inaccurate and doesn't show the correct search results?

### 2/5 — app bugs and is stuck

*2026-05-06*

i can’t change the location of my store so i can’t check availability for items at other locations. it’s stuck at a location i haven’t even been to and won’t switch over no matter how many times i try and change “my store”

also when i checked the website, its not pulling up multiple things that i KNOW are in store because I was in store literally the night before. inventory needs to be done more often or something.

### 4/5 — ok

*2026-04-07, version 1.3.27*

It was alright, but very often it says "Try again! An error has occurred. Please try again later". This is rly getting on my nerves. And honestly i wish there was an option where you can add stuff to a cart instead of adding things to your favorites.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-03-25*

This app is extremely disappointing. You can’t actually place orders through it, which makes it feel almost useless. It also doesn’t show whether items are in stock, so you end up thinking products are available when they’re not.
I tried to order items I saw in the app through Instacart, and about half of them weren’t available at all. That’s very frustrating and a huge waste of time.
Overall, the app needs major improvement to be functional and reliable.

### 1/5 — Dollar tree app

*2026-03-16*

The Dollar Tree app is extremely frustrating to use. It doesn’t allow customers to simply add a single item to their cart. Instead, you’re forced to purchase large quantities of products, even if you only want one item. That approach doesn’t make much sense from a customer experience standpoint. Many shoppers just want to grab one or two things for in-store pickup, not an entire case.

The ordering process is confusing and restrictive, especially when trying to use in-store pickup. The app doesn’t feel intuitive, and the overall experience seems outdated compared to modern retail apps. Navigation is clunky, features feel limited, and it doesn’t reflect the level of convenience people expect from a retail app in 2026.

Overall, the app feels poorly designed and not very useful for everyday shoppers. Improving the technology, updating the interface, and allowing flexible purchase quantities would make a big difference. Right now, it feels like the app hasn’t kept up with the times and could really benefit from a major update and stronger technical support behind it.

### 1/5 — No purchasing on the app?

*2026-03-11, version 1.3.26*

What’s the purpose of this app? Why can’t I purchase anything on the app, yet I can on the website? And the website is HORRIBLE too! If you try to search for an item, the search bar starts filling out with some random item not any item with the letters I’m trying to type in. Wth?!?

### 3/5 — The app

*2026-02-06, version 1.3.23*

I like this app, but it runs very slow and it always glitches. Also, when I type something incorrectly, it says that the item isn't real so I feel like the app should have something where it would still pop up even if it's typed incorrectly .

### 2/5 — Not what I was looking for. Do better!

*2026-02-04, version 1.3.23*

I was hoping it could accurately notify me when things are restocked cuz, I’m sick of going back-and-forth just to find out that the shelves are empty.🙄

### 3/5 — Idk

*2025-12-01, version 1.3.21*

The image keep on not popping up when I type in something it won’t pop up

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-07-04, version 1.5.3*

Yall need to fix this app. People everywhere are having the same problem if everything in the store scanning “ product not found”. What’s the point of having an in app scanner if the app can’t find the product?!! Nor get the price right?! We all are tired of running back and fourth to the in store scanner and some stores don’t even have scanners! So fix it!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Product not found

*2026-07-03, version 1.5.3*

Almost every scan comes up product not found! This app sucks! I would give a 0 stars if possible

### 1/5 — Bad Update!

*2026-06-29, version 1.5.2*

Everything comes up product not found

### 1/5 — Login

*2026-06-28, version 1.5.2*

I login into the app and it tells me that is does not recognize my account.

### 1/5 — Why Are The Phone Apps Scanners Not Working Now Since Update?

*2026-06-24, version 1.5.2*

Always scans “Product Not Found”.

### 1/5 — Dollar tree scan a product

*2026-06-23, version 1.5.2*

This app says that it enables people to scan products for prices before they make purchases but it does not include a scan application on it!! That is highly valuable and would be a major improvement to this app!!!

### 1/5 — Why My Gift Card doesn’t work on this app?

*2026-06-14, version 1.5.1*

I tried to use barcode on this gift card, but it didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Don’t give right

*2026-05-31, version 1.5.1*

Don’t give the right price on anything

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-04-30*

This app IS NOT FOR CANADIANS.  It’s only available for US residents. Even though we have Dollar Tree stores here in Canada.  
Canadians don’t waste your time downloading this app

### 1/5 — App is non functional

*2026-04-07, version 1.3.27*

1st-
The app
Won’t even work for me -
I get multiple errors repeatedly upon opening 
You can’t purchase via app unless your purchase a large quantity
And you can’t actually see if item is in store stock.
What’s the point?

### 5/5 — Shopper

*2026-04-02, version 1.3.27*

Went to the Zachary store to get some last minute easter stuff . They are always so nice and friendly and one of the cleanest and stocked ones they have ! I drive from Baton Rouge

### 5/5 — Dollar store app is really good

*2026-02-14*

When i found out that the dollar store hand app I got so excited because it is so useful to have the app because instead of going to the dollar store and seeing that they don’t have what you need you can just look on the app and that makes my life so much easier.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-09, version 1.3.21*

I love dollar tree so much because it’s cheap and with this app I can see what they have

### 5/5 — Dollar

*2025-11-26, version 1.3.21*

Dollar tree is so good

### 5/5 — Good Morning

*2025-11-21, version 1.3.21*

Favorites list only holds up to thirty items can you update to hundreds or unlimited.

### 5/5 — SOFTEE

*2025-10-16, version 1.3.19*

Softee perfect edge control is missing half product when opening

### 5/5 — Please add pickup and drive-up online orders!

*2025-09-02*

It would be so helpful if Dollar Tree offered online shopping with in-store pickup or drive-up service. As a mother of three and a caregiver for my aging parents, saving time is a big need. Being able to order online and have it ready would help families like mine stay on budget and stress less. Dollar Tree is my favorite store and already helps me save so much money, adding this service would make it even better!

### 5/5 — One of my favorite places to go as an adult and a child.

*2025-08-22*

In a world filled with things like over priced coffee. This is my favorite place to go. Lots of crafting ideas and tons of stuff to make you feel like a girl or a man. Plus stuff for your fur or furless family too.  Hopefully they will all have a fridge section. I am sorry for the days I was so poor that I took things to survive. I still shop there even when I have money to repay the fact they never put me in jail when i took what I needed. I confess today openly to get others to do the same and to heal us all. No shame for the poor in the same situation the wealthy would do the same. I have stood on many street corners as a woman to prove a point the men get far more money then the woman do. They judge me think I am an addict. Nope I stand out there now so god can judge them I am saved. They are not. Or they would help others. Being wealthy is a crime against god

### 5/5 — It is great

*2025-02-02, version 1.3.2*

Now I don’t have to wonder if they have something or not

### 5/5 — My review

*2025-02-01, version 1.3.2*

This app is very easy to manage I’ve had no problem with search and honestly enjoy not having to browse and take longer in the store
