### 4/5 — LOVE THIS APP

*2026-08-02, version 25*

It makes it so easy to fine anything on here! And this app has lots of fun merch and more to buy! I definitely recommend this app

### 3/5 — It’s good but lots of bad cons

*2026-07-11, version 25*

I LOVEEE THE APP AND I GET TONS OF DISCOUNTS but some times they will put on a new item but the very next day it will be gone from existence or sometimes they don’t alert me about new things and I could go into so much other detail about all the other stuff that is fed but otherwise this is a good app for when you wanna order things

### 5/5 — Great app for great stuff

*2026-06-23, version 24*

I’ve always loved hot topic ever since I first heard about it, and having this app is a nice way to keep up with everything, it also has a nice rewards system that I think is better than majority of points systems.

### 5/5 — Hot topic is the best clothing store!

*2026-06-22, version 24*

Hot topic has to be the top 5 of best stores in America because of their clothing! Honestly if you don’t like hot topic then it’s not for you.

### 5/5 — You should get the app

*2026-06-20, version 24*

I love hot topic so much I love the clothes there too.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-06-18, version 24*

Not only is hot topic a great store but it also is a fantastic app!! Great way to redeem points and shop!

### 5/5 — Epic store

*2026-06-18, version 24*

Really cool store with cool stuff, the only complaint is how I wish they had more Glitch Production merch though.

### 5/5 — 🤘🏼

*2026-06-17, version 24*

Dope

### 2/5 — Cannot open the app 😞 constant loading screen now

*2026-06-16, version 24*

The app has not been working since Easter, thus I have not been able to check my wishlist and look on the app. I have done all the troubleshooting checks and it still gives me a white loading screen.

Since then, I have been able to login to the website, which has not been a problem.

### 5/5 — Best store ever!

*2026-06-14, version 24*

I have NEVER had a problem with this awesome store! I love all of the amazing digital circus and murderdrones stuff! <3

### 5/5 — Good if you shop often!

*2026-06-10, version 24*

I love how easy it is to see how much rewards I got lol. I’d say it’s definitely worth the download if you love HT like me 😆

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-10, version 24*

Love it so much workers so kind and you get points I recommend using the app

### 5/5 — Love but sucks

*2026-06-03, version 23.2*

I love hottopic so much but I have an older iPhone and please make it so every iOS can use

### 5/5 — I love hot topic butttt

*2026-05-30, version 23.2*

I LOVE HOT TOPIC but because of the new update I can’t access it anymore because my phone is not a 17 or whatever. Very sad because some of my dream stuff is on hot topic. I know I can just go in person but they don’t have my dream stuff in store!! One of my dream items is a Coraline purse/bag. It’s so pretty. That’s all I’m saying about hot topic. I still love u guys.

### 4/5 — Peak sailor moon selection

*2026-05-30, version 24*

Just gonna be honest I’m doing this for the points but also to point out that they have a good selection of sailor moon stuff on their app and it’s much better than in store options :3

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2026-08-08, version 25*

Everytime I try to pay it never goes through. I just wanted a jacket since i lost mine but honestly disappointing

### 1/5 — Not available in Canada

*2026-07-04, version 25*

Very disappointing

### 1/5 — App doesn’t allow me to buy

*2026-07-01, version 25*

App doesn’t let me use my cc or PayPal or anything to try and ship items or pick them up at the store. Idk why they even have this if I can’t buy stuff on it

### 1/5 — Didn’t like it

*2026-06-11, version 24*

I ordered TWICE and got both of them cancelled by the app and never got my money back it was over $100, I never got a confirmation email too.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-25, version 24*

App is useless. I can log in online fine. The app says my info isn’t recognized. I reset my password, logged in online just fine again, but the app AGAIN says my info isn’t recognized. What’s the point of an app if it doesn’t recognize the login info?

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-05-11, version 24*

I have tried to make to different purchases with hot cash I’ve gained and five dollar off that I’ve had for two orders one being 130 and the next order being 90 each time they make sure to use your hot cash but the order doesn’t place or go through called customer service yesterday. Had it reinstated tried again today still didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Never able to check out!!

*2026-05-03, version 24*

I love Hot Topic the store but HATE this app. I’ve had to call customer support and complete my orders over the phone because I’m never able to check out in the app. I’ve tried Apple pay, PayPal, and adding in card details and nothing works. And not even an error message or something pops up, the page just refreshes and nothing has happened. And even customer service reps have said they know it’s an issue because of other customers complaining when they call. I’m over it and I’m likely just going to delete the app altogether soon.

### 1/5 — sucks

*2026-04-21, version 24*

sucks so bad

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE APP!!!

*2026-04-18, version 24*

Honestly one of the most irritating shopping apps to use. Item stock is frequently inaccurate, ive ordered multiple times only for them to cancel because they don’t have stock (even tho they say its in stock) and when items are cancelled, they use up my coupons and don’t give it back! Sooooo inconvenient to spend so much time trying to buy something and its 1. NOT AVAILABLE TO SHIP OR PICK UP 2. THE STORE CANCELS THE ORDER 3. COUPONS DONT SHOW UP/WORK. Invest in a better app

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-04-10, version 24*

I love hottopic but the app isn’t very good. The search mechanic isn’t accurate at all. There’s so much saturation (you’ll se every product in every color as a different listing) that scrolling through to shop/browse is useless. I hope they organize the app and make it better soon because I would love to be able to shop online. I really feel like going in store is the only way to actually find what you’re looking for.
