### 2/5 — Terrible app

*2024-10-04*

It will drive you away from coffee to vodka or something similar. Very frustrating and buggy. Their web/site is not much better. Good coffee though.

### 3/5 — A pain to use

*2024-08-17*

Sign up was difficult and it failed. Doesn’t play well with password managers.

### 3/5 — Illy app

*2024-03-07, version 1.98.8*

This app is not as easy to use as it should be.

### 1/5 — Appalling.

*2024-03-01, version 1.98.8*

One of the worst apps I’ve experienced. Never works. It’s like they actively want to stop you buying their coffee.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-02-11, version 1.98.8*

Come on Illy (Trieste).

Have one barcode for everything.
Educate the servers on how to navigate the app, though no fault of theirs for the complete lack of ease.
The app is a calamity.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2024-02-11, version 1.98.8*

I was excited thinking they finally fixed the bugs! Nope I can’t open the “subscription” tab, so now I can’t change my order at all!!

### 1/5 — Excellent coffee but terrible app

*2024-01-09*

Apple Pay NEVER works regardless what credit card.  Ordering coffee requires 4 steps and 4 pages - lol and it is not even handled within the app but as background webpage. You should shut down this app to avoid annoying your customers! Extremely slow and outdated app - this was maybe acceptable 10 years ago. Utter junk app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t accept iCloud email address

*2023-12-03, version 1.98.0*

This is a really awful app that won’t accept iCloud.com email address format when registering.  When trying to checkout as a guest the app just crashes with the timer icon stuck in screen.  Also tried to register on your website and experienced same issue and unable to register or purchase.  Terrible customer experience.

### 1/5 — Stuck at privacy policy, spinning

*2023-11-27*

App wants you to create an account. Then forces into a path that requires T&Cs. Stuck at account creation part of the flow, unable to click past “My account privacy policy” screen. Looks like a web wrapped page.

Already having very low expectations of what kind of app experience this will be. Will give developers 1 week to resolve, but expecting to delete the app.

### 1/5 — Slow slow slow

*2023-11-24, version 1.98.0*

The most slowest app in the world!

### 1/5 — Very poor app, slow cumbersome experience

*2023-11-11, version 1.97.3*

A very poor app from a quality company. 

No in app purchase need to link to slow website, multiple screen to navigate, times outs often due to slow responses from servers

### 1/5 — The app

*2023-10-07, version 1.97.3*

The app is so much trouble to navigate and get to work. I finally just deleted it.

### 1/5 — Great coffee - terrible App

*2023-09-04*

This app is needlessly complicated.  It’s confusing to see and modify subscriptions.  They make it easier to select Illy wallpaper (who does that?) than review your account, update subscriptions or place orders.

Every time I use this app, I am frustrated by its poor performance and horrible UI.  Illy, make it easy to order coffee!!   If you don’t understand how difficult this app is to use, you’re not working with average or new users.  I am offering my assistance to show you what it’s like to use this app.

### 1/5 — This App is worthless

*2023-08-22*

Everything is either counterintuitive or freezes up. So many options take you to the website anyway. All the rewards are close to worthless too if you already have a subscription. None of the in person shops in the USA even accept rewards and app coupons.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2025-03-15, version 2.0.1*

The app does not work anymore. It asks for an update, but the revamped app isn’t available in the UK App Store

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2025-01-04, version 1.100.3*

When I open it, it gets stuck on a red screen and then it crashes. Totally worthless and a waste of space.

### 1/5 — Canada???

*2025-01-02, version 1.100.3*

Why does this app default to Canada for my country?  Is there not an app for the US?

### 1/5 — Great coffee terrible app indeed

*2024-11-20*

The website isn’t much better. I am stuck in a perpetual loop of having to acknowledge T&C’s and then the process fails. Ordering online Apple Pay doesn’t work. 25% off site wife doesn’t apply to the cart. Interface between Illy and PayPal fails most times.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-18*

It literally doesn’t work. No matter how I try to log in it just gives me an error. I’ve checked all my settings and network connections. Even tried creating a new account. It doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2024-06-02*

Anything that you’d want to do in the app just doesn’t function, and/or just redirects you to the website. Managing or placing orders or subscriptions is not worth the time or effort on the app. Just skip the headache and use their website.

### 1/5 — Illy developer is unaware of a problem

*2024-03-29*

If I try to enter my email address (to sign up for the Illy newsletter), the reply button completely obscures the email field, and I cannot continue the process. At this point, I must relaunch the App Store app, and start over. (Assuming that I want to see additional apps).

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the privacy policy.

*2024-03-29*

Looks like simple sign up for a coffee company myself and most others would deem great coffee. However, I could find no promise not to sell my information. That is NOT a privacy policy. I’m out.

### 1/5 — Does not recognise my email

*2024-03-20, version 1.98.8*

Cannot join

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2024-03-17, version 1.98.8*

Having downloaded and registered, I now can’t order coffee, it simply hangs and won’t let me order! You need to sort it out!

### 5/5 — Best Coffee

*2024-12-21*

I absolutely love being a part of the Illy family.  Great tasting coffee every time.

### 5/5 — Nice App

*2024-06-17*

App seems to have worked out some issues others have mentioned.  I find it responsive, easy to create an order and useful to see what is going on with Illy.

### 5/5 — Favorite Coffee

*2024-05-09, version 1.98.11*

I first had Illy in Italy and fell in love. I do notice if I buy from Amazon the coffee beans do not taste the same, seems maybe old. When we buy at Sur La Table it tastes so much more fresh. I decided to go directly to Illy. The app was easy to use so far. I started a subscription. I collected hearts. I will definitely come back to review if I find it hard to keep track of my subscription or make changes. Most likely a learning curve but so worth good fresh coffee.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-11-26, version 1.98.0*

Great

### 5/5 — Best Coffee Ever!

*2023-09-24, version 1.97.3*

Illy is our favorite coffee. Totally bitter free. ❤️

### 5/5 — Illy uplift!!!

*2023-09-19*

My afternoon illy pod is the uplift I need every afternoon to make my afternoon enjoyable!!! The perfect way to get through the afternoon!

### 5/5 — Illy Coffee Yum!

*2023-06-20, version 1.96.17*

I have been drinking illy coffee for years and love the notes. It instills warmth and aroma with a hint of joy. Thank you Illy Coffee for the pleasure.

### 5/5 — Illy app

*2023-03-10, version 1.96.10*

Have used the Illy app for years since purchasing Illy in Italy. I only use Illy in Italy and the USA. Love my iper espresso machines!!

### 5/5 — Great coffee and service

*2023-02-20, version 1.96.10*

Great coffee and service. Had a few issues with machines and always get great help and service from Headoffice. Use coffee at work and clients always comment on it. Loyalty programme is good too. Whole experience is even better now they offer a simpler recycling service. 5*

### 5/5 — Great coffee with a great App

*2022-09-28*

Easy to use and self explanatory. If you sign up for their loyalty programs the benefits and savings are amazing.
