### 2/5 — Cannot purchase membership

*2022-08-13, version 1.9.7*

After I fill in the data and wanna pay by fpx, tried 2 time, it directly show fail payments page and no way I can do the payment?

### 2/5 — What is the point

*2022-02-23, version 1.8.13*

Thought downloading the app would make it easier to browse for books but apparently there is no such functions so I wonder what is actually the point of this app. You also have to make a separate account for the app you cannot use the same one that you use on their website which is weird and unnecessary

### 1/5 — Cannot Renew Membership

*2021-10-01, version 1.8.10*

Tried many, many times over the year; even after they updated the software. The pain is, the app wouldn’t allow auto fill, and it asks for a lot private information; but at the end, it still fail. No matter which payment option I took, whether or not I logged in before filling up the information. 

When I contacted them, they asked me to go to their store to sign up again!

They sure make it hard for us to continue! I’m giving up.

### 1/5 — Didn’t get verification sms

*2021-09-22, version 1.8.10*

It took so long to verified my account. I already recheck my phone number and email but still didn’t get the verification number from sms. I uninstall and install again but still didn’t work. Maybe should change to email verification instead of sms.

### 1/5 — User not found?

*2021-05-25, version 1.8.6*

I tried to use the same email address that I used on the popular website to login here, but it says user not found. Why?

### 1/5 — Do not serve for online purchase

*2021-05-08, version 1.7.1*

This app is totally not designed for online purchase! The app is linked to other page on internet for shopping instead of shopping on the app is totally ridiculous. Very bad designed. While the company keeps closing down physical stores but the not developing for online shopping shows that the company has a very bad strategy.

### 2/5 — Unable to login to apps and use my e-membership

*2021-04-17, version 1.7.1*

The application is actually malfunction as I cannot log in to the apps. It directs me to the website for popular online store which is redundant. If the apps going to use website it would be easy for me to use the website to purchase instead of using the apps. And one thing to improve, please show the linked membership card (the one with the barcode) in the webpage instead of just showing in the apps as i was not able to log in to the apps when i want to purchase any book at the store because i only have e-membership. Please provide physical card to members if you cannot ensure the application is going to function well.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load. Has developer tested in iOS 14.4.2?

*2021-04-16, version 1.7.1*

Forever on landing page !!  Showing red screen “PRIVATE SALES EVENT” and “ STORE LOCATOR”....  called pop club cust service nobody can answer me. Does the app even work?? I even sent them screenshots

### 1/5 — Improve your website and app please

*2021-01-30, version 1.7.1*

How come I can login thru the apps and then when I try to buy things ONLINE, it direct me to their website and ask me to login AGAIN but then they say I have my password incorrect?! 
Please improve your website search item too. Trying to search for the things I wan but then ended up giving me things that I don't wan and I have to search it on my own thru the categories section.

### 1/5 — Not functioning

*2020-11-22, version 1.4.0*

Member card barcode not shown in member benefit tab. Online store loading error, force quit after loading, payment error.

### 1/5 — Not useful, really

*2020-11-11, version 1.4.0*

The online store is just the same as the website itself, or worse. Much slower. Search not functioning, instead of the keyword we put, it just shows a bunch of irrelevant results. What’s the purpose of this app? Just to show our e-card?

### 1/5 — Can’t log in totally

*2026-03-31, version 1.20.1*

Can’t log in totally even id and password is correct . Show user not found! Even I write to popular email to ask for help also no one reply!!!

### 1/5 — Having an app just to broadcast info is redundant

*2026-02-21, version 1.20.1*

There’s no need to make an app just to post info and entice people to keep the app with perks. I disagree with the companies that do this, taking up storage space when we could follow your social media for info. Maybe if we could shop on your app I’d understand.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2024-08-10, version 1.10.8*

Keeps signing out and causing inconvenience at the counter when there’s a queue behind you. What kind of programming is this? It’s unacceptable!! Make it better!!

### 1/5 — Slow and not user friendly

*2024-06-14, version 1.10.7*

Loading is slow on website and not user friendly on linking new card or system auto update information after card renew

### 1/5 — Wth????

*2024-05-17, version 1.10.5*

Why your notification in Chinese????
So reckless, are you from China Mainland????
Be sensitive to your client!
Dont call you are the bookstore if you failed to work on basic manner!

### 1/5 — The APP is meaningless

*2024-04-21, version 1.10.4*

No useful function at all, the only purpose is no need to bring physical member card if you linked the membership with it. Physical need to cancelled if u link your account in apps.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER

### 5/5 — it’s good

*2026-01-11, version 1.20.1*

Maybe the older one was buns but the newer app is definitely better by a million

### 5/5 — Buy revision book

*2024-04-21, version 1.10.4*

Many choice

### 4/5 — Convenient app

*2025-11-27, version 1.20.1*

No longer need to apply for membership with pens and papers!

### 4/5 — Phone number error

*2021-01-17, version 1.5.11*

I can’t fill out my whole phone number, because it will state “invalid phone number”. I’m ONE number away to fill out my phone number at the registration

### 4/5 — App’s online store needs improvement

*2019-05-25*

Nicely done on the UI but it crashed thrice before it managed to open. Easy to understand icons. 
However, your online store section needs better navigation. It lags heavily, there isn’t any swipe motion available...there’s only the easily missed arrow button to go back one page and most of the time it automatically goes back up to top of page. Which means there’s a need to scroll and scroll again to the previous spot. It’s inconvenient. 
Also, can’t I login to the online store using the same login details for the app? It says invalid details. Is it necessary to create another login for the online store? 
Otherwise, it’s great that we can now use the app to replace the physical card.

Update: Tried using your app in store today. They weren’t able to scan the barcode on the member card and vouchers. Still manually keying in the numbers.

### 3/5 — Please add support to Apple Wallet!!

*2024-11-10, version 1.10.9*

It’s a bit of a hassle to open the app everytime to show my membership card

### 3/5 — Can’t renew using app

*2023-03-14, version 1.9.11*

I try to renew subscription thru app several times. When it comes to payment, there are 2 options but none seems working to me. 

1. Using visa/master, the app asked me to login while i already logged to my account

2. Using fpx, no bank name appear in the drop down menu. 

Not sure if this happened to me only or to others too.
