### 3/5 — Don’t show my previous sales I don’t get any bonus points and it’s not the first time I used DSW and

*2026-08-31, version 5.206.0*

System does not show my bonus points and a previous sales so far did she a couple sales and it doesn’t show me any bonus points

### 3/5 — Difficult to access perks

*2026-08-30, version 5.206.0*

Very frustrating. My password is never stored. It’s like DSW doesn’t want to recognize anyone they have previously qualified as VIP status or make good on any of the promotions they purport to offer. I had to really dig for offered perks. On the positive side, the selection is the best part of DSW

### 3/5 — Disappointed in order process!

*2026-08-30, version 5.206.0*

Had a $5 birthday credit to spend. Put the code in the promo code box during the order process and got told it wasn’t available to apply to my order. Seems like a strange way to treat a customer who’s only looking for this tiny discount for my *birthday*! Bottom line, the order process is cumbersome and may be disappointing.

### 2/5 — Laggy page

*2026-08-19, version 5.205.0*

The app is very laggy I hope it gets better and also all of a sudden it kicks me out the page

### 2/5 — Coupons

*2026-08-02, version 5.204.0*

DSW used to give you a lot of different coupons and way more rewards. Lately nothing

### 2/5 — Bug: App crash on open

*2026-08-02, version 5.204.0*

The past couple times I’ve tried to open the DSW app it loads for a second and then immediately exits out. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but it did not fix the issue.

### 1/5 — Awful app! Took 20 mins to actually place order super slow

*2026-08-01, version 5.204.0*

Slow, difficult to process. Held on to wrong info. A pain.

### 4/5 — Glitch during address change

*2026-07-31, version 5.204.0*

Need to very attentive when you make shipment address change. It doesn’t update automatically and sometimes reverse back to the old address.

### 4/5 — Wide

*2026-07-30, version 5.204.0*

Please carry more wide shoe options.

### 5/5 — Effortless!

*2026-07-29, version 5.204.0*

I needed “emergency shoes”, yes seriously there’s such a thing! I have an event next week that I need a pair of shoes for to match my dress, however, I’m on a beach vacation hundreds of miles away and can’t get to the store, so I ordered them on the DSW app, WITH same day Door Dash delivery. It doesn’t get much better than that! Thanks for saving me DSW!

### 1/5 — Promo codes never work!

*2026-08-30, version 5.206.0*

I have several prom codes they  emailed me, to bad they are always rejected!  I guess they pick and choose what and when you can use your earned 20% off!  I believe it’s a scam I have not been able to use not one promo code , I have many, some that were even mail to my home , and they were rejected also!

### 1/5 — App update

*2026-08-17, version 5.194.0*

Not getting a new phone just to update apps that won’t update on an iPhone X. Lots of shopping that wont be happening

### 1/5 — Shoe

*2026-08-15, version 5.205.0*

I ordered them from the store to have my size delivered to my house and they sent the wrong shoes

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2026-08-13, version 5.205.0*

App is very buggy, making my phone hot and lag. I Have no other apps open.

### 1/5 — Cart

*2026-08-13, version 5.205.0*

Save for later tab: I try to add items to my favorites as my own DIY save for later but some items aren’t able to be favorited. If I have multiple shoes in my cart I only select one if I wanted too. Please add save for later tab

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-08-11, version 5.205.0*

Just awful my payments failed to go through your system. Had to try 3 times just to place an order for some socks that can not be shipped.  Absolutely awful.

### 1/5 — Cashier incompetence

*2026-08-08, version 5.205.0*

I never asked to use my 3x the points and the cashier just applied it because she felt like it.  I always save my 3x & 2x points for bigger purchases instead.  I noticed and called customer service.  They said they would return them and never got them back.  Now I’m out 3x the points.  Cashiers need to learn to ask if you want to use rewards or not.  

Starting to not like shopping I store at DSW as much any more.  Too bad one needs to try on shoes.

### 1/5 — Checkout

*2026-08-08, version 5.205.0*

Checkout payment option were difficult to access process. No reason indicated.

### 1/5 — Consumer

*2026-08-06, version 5.205.0*

I have a DSW account. Never lets me log in and won’t let me reset my password. I’ve asked for help, gone online, and called. Nothing works. I always have to checkout as a guest.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2026-08-03, version 5.204.0*

I’ll open the app and then it crashes and closes on its own.
