### 2/5 — Sub optimal app experience reduces my chances to spend money

*2026-08-19, version 26.7.0*

I love Rei. I want to browse and buy things that are on sale. The app isn’t great for that so I spend less money with Rei. 

It’s not bad if I know what I want to buy though.

### 2/5 — Bare bones

*2026-08-14, version 26.7.0*

This is little more than a wrapper around the website, and it shows.  Every time I launch it (which is not often for a shopping app), it tells me that I have been logged out, and then immediately logs me back in.  Don’t do that.  If you can log me back in, just log me back in. I don’t need to know about all of that unless you can’t log me back in.  Navigation is an utter mess, too.  Searching, the most essential feature of a shopping app, is so clunky and jarring.

*2026-08-08, version 26.6.0*

I’ve been a member of REI for decades. Love the store and the app makes it super easy to find what you want / need.

### 5/5 — Great app and gear

*2026-08-08, version 26.6.0*

I purchased most of gear for my thru hike next year. I like the free shipping part of it I have easily recouped the membership price many times over. The descriptions and specifications are really helpful. This allows you to see if it worth the weight to carry on the trail. I couldn’t be happier with the app as it allows you to see the status of your orders and the receive date of the order.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stop Logging Me Out

*2026-08-24, version 26.7.0*

It's annoying having to log back in every single time I use the app. No other apps are like this

### 1/5 — Surveys suck.

*2026-08-20, version 26.7.0*

Constantly interrupted by surveys..

### 1/5 — Sign in

*2026-08-20, version 26.7.0*

The app always signs me out and also ALWAYS disconnects my membership..

### 1/5 — Angry, signs me out of app automatically

*2026-08-14, version 26.7.0*

Signs me out of app.

### 1/5 — Header still blocked half screen. With latest update.

*2026-08-14, version 26.7.0*

As title. Total failure.

### 1/5 — Stop asking

*2026-08-08, version 26.6.0*

Stop asking me to rate this app right in the middle of trying to accomplish something.

### 1/5 — In app spam

*2026-08-08, version 26.6.0*

No. Don't want useless spam. Junk. As the company fails.

### 1/5 — Frequent logouts are unacceptable

*2026-07-31, version 26.6.0*

Having to log in again every time I use the app makes it not worth the time

### 1/5 — Customer Discrimination

*2026-07-30, version 26.6.0*

My teenage son was run out of the Memphis store after buying $700 worth of merchandise simply because he wanted to tell the cashier what Jesus meant to him. And yet you shove your agenda in our faces every time we are in the store. You clearly don’t want our business. We will let all our family and friends know your disposition towards faithful repeat customers.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-07-18, version 26.6.0*

According to this the local store doesn’t carry anything on this app, but at the same time it tells me it’s in stock at my store. BUT it will not let me pick up the item at the store because it’s not in stock, but it says it’s in stock right above the pick up at store option. So the only way for me to know for sure is to drive 40 minutes to the store and check because this app isn’t accurate.
