Crashes

App lags. isn't useable

I got scam

I had a 60 dollar gift card and when I went to use it at Michaels, it didn't let me. Used it, I call my friend that gave me the gift card and she said that it is a real Michaels giftcard from michael,now am in debt, thank at lotšŸ™„

Not current

None of the new collections load, content is not current. You can walk into your local store and see things on the shelf but when you try to order for pick up, it does not show up on the app. It only shows up online as coming soon, at least there you’re able to save it to your wish list for later.

Same as shopping in-store

You can say one thing about Michaels, they consistently deliver one of the worst possible shopping experiences you could imagine. The app is awful, just like their stores are awful. It’s a horrible company that we are prisoners to only because there’s no other options .

Laggy and poor UI design

The app lags like you wouldn’t believe. It takes me 5 minutes to look up a single product and add it to my cart. And the app forcefully logged me out and it’s so laggy that I can’t get back in anymore.

But worse than that, the app now has a garbage AI ā€œassistantā€ that’s forced on you. It’s permanently sticking out of the right side of the screen, a distracting bright red button, and it doesn’t go away no matter what tab you open. Not even tucked away anywhere, just a permanent part of the screen now. Replacing human customer support is bad enough, but cluttering the interface with a useless AI ā€œassistantā€ feels forceful and hostile.

Love it

This app is great for when I need to reorder my yarn but it’s so laggy and then freezes on me constantly

Freezes constantly

Every time I use the app only 1-2 monies go by before it freezes up. I have to constantly exit the app and start it again. It’s extremely annoying since then I have to do my product search over again every single time it happens.

Needs to be updated or have new devs

The app is great to search for deals, coupons and in store products. However, it is extremely glitchy and slow. Every time and I mean EVERY TIME I go into my cart, it always tells me ā€œyou have nothing in your cart! Keep shopping,ā€ and I have to refresh or add something to be able to view it and even then it may take it longer. While I’ve been searching in their 70% off clearance sale, it’s been massively slow and glitchy and takes a while for the page to load and add stuff to my cart. And if you think it’s a wifi/internet problem, I have full bars so ik it’s not that.
Either the devs need to kick the bugs out or have an update or the devs need to be re taught how to programšŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Love the store, hate the app

Truly such a bummer to have this app. Even the website has its problems, but for people who frequently purchase from Michaels it’s the worsttt. Always slow and laggy, always crashing. Convenience and access is key in shopping apps and I’ve started purchasing from other sites bc Michaels’ is too unreliable.

glitchiest app ever

ive never had such a poor experience shopping on an app. glitches, does not load, takes forever, just impossible

Crash

App crashes all the time, shows stuff in the cart and when you click on it nothing is there

Please fix the lagging issue

This app is so unreliable. I can’t believe how much I had to exit the app because it was lagging so much. I was trying to order something quick, but decided to just order through Amazon.

Going Downhill

I used to almost never have issues with the app functioning but for about two months now it freezes, won’t load, etc. Bummer since the best coupon codes are online only and I’d rather not struggle with the web interface in my phone browser.

Functional

Three stars because managing my account and using my rewards in-store is pretty easy, and the UI itself is actually quite good, but just browsing is a miserable experience. Everything loads so slowly, and oftentimes if I leave the app while I’m browsing or if I hit something too fast, it freaks out and won’t load anything, so I have to close it and start over. Drives me crazy.

Crash

Crashes and freezes constantly

Works, sometimes

I love Michael’s. I love the buy online/pick up at store process they have. However, this app actually works maybe 1/4 of the time. Constant crashing, LOADING, and inability to delete everything from my cart or multiple things at a time is what ruins it. I would gladly spend more money at Michael’s if I didn’t have to get out my laptop to order online every time
I wanted to buy something. I guess that’s saving me money, maybe I shouldn’t complain.

Garbage

This app is garbage. You can count on it to crash every time. Hangs up, crashes, loses information… Just use the website, because this app is useless.

Terribly slow / Crashes frequently

Love that I can search from existing inventory and order for same-day pickup. BUT, the app is so slow, I can actually feel myself aging while I wait to see it’s frozen or just processing. Also, when I search a specific term, and select the ā€œin-stockā€ option, I often get results that are neither.

Great. When it works.

There’s a lot of great features and functions but they’re overshadowed by how poorly this app runs. It’s got to be built on concrete for the pace it moves just adding something to my cart. It regularly crashes, stalls out, etc. Online shopping is impossible and even in person shopping is difficult as I have to wait ten minutes for my rewards to open. Needs an overhaul BAD before it becomes completely non functional.
