Garbage App and TRASH support

Trash support, has a tab saying chat with support but you have to send an email and wait a week to hear back. Don’t add a chat with support tab if you can’t chat with anyone.

Stagnant with Inflated resale numbers

First I should say that I am a big-time sneaker head and use this app dozens of times throughout the day. It has the potential to be incredible and extremely user-friendly but unfortunately it feels like it was built a few years ago and has been left to stagnate.

The single biggest issue is the secondary market value shown for shoes. The values are not based on what people are actually paying. The values shown are based on what the resellers are asking. That is a very big difference. As a result almost every shoe ends up with an inflated value attached to it. This makes it impossible to know what a shoe could potentially be worth.

You will see shoes that show a resale value over $1000 the day before release, which then crash below retail after. When you look into the numbers you can see that in those cases no one actually paid the listed resale value. Yet the app will show that this is what it's worth. Something's value is only established after someone pays for it.

I have been a pro plan member for quite a while. In the entire time I have been a member I do not believe I've seen any new features rolled out.

The features they do have could be very helpful except there are issues with almost every single main feature. For example the restocked notifications could be very helpful but more often than not there will be different titles displayed for the same shoe. That leaves you guessing as to what shoe is actually being restocked. It would be so much better if the app used the product codes in addition to the name since those are standardized across all retailers.

The built-in browser is also very buggy. Sometimes it freezes so badly that I need to restart the app multiple times to get it to work again.

Finally, the raffles are nice to see but the filtering of raffles is incredibly difficult. I find that no matter how many times I set my filters, after a couple of days they just seem to turn themselves off and I am shown every raffle from the Philippines to Japan to Czechoslovakia.

Overall this app could be incredible but as I said at the beginning, it appears to have been developed once and left stagnant

Current build is broken

Like the app, been a member for a long time-current build is broken though, restocks won’t load can’t stay logged in, can’t launch pages from the app.

Great app, 1 needed enhancement

Need to be able to set alerts for specific sneakers. Today it is just a negative or muted filter so it is impossible to filter out all of the noise

Helpful when hope was lost.

I got this app a few days ago to help with a release today. Overslept went on google and all the main sites was sold out in my size for retail and soon as I thought all hope was lost I got a restock notification of the exact shoe I was looking for! Would have spent a lot of money just buying it direct from goat if it wasn’t for this app

Paywall

It would be a good app. But it’s super behind a paywall to enter any raffles or look at to see what stores drop them.

Can’t log in

Paying for a subscription and now I can’t log into with my phone number or email. Seeing multiple people having issues with this online but no one is addressing the issue.

Not work paying for

This app is trash won’t win any raffles and the only thing you can buy is things that don’t sell out . Half the pages don’t even give you access

Best drops

I will forever remember this app and would love to support it

Forceful Purchase

The fact that you have to literally commit to purchasing the app to enter and get basic info about releases is crazy to me. 150.00 for a year is also insane for an app that can’t guarantee you get the shoes you want.

Freezing

App was amazing but now is freezing almost every time a open a raffle and it try’s to take me to the raffle website the app freezes forces me to close the app and start from the beginning, this is making it very annoying to enter all the raffles

Hey gang,

Hey gang.

Worth every penny if you a sneakerhead

This app is worth every single penny and I recommend it to anyone who collects sneakers. Only thing I wish this app had was a custom alert.

Copped early

I was nervous on not getting these..actually just impatient..orders from goat and guess what?there real lol never had a false pair from them..just got another from shoe palace..good luck everyone.sole retriever is the best.

Plottkickx

I love this app

Terrible

You can’t even view the app without committing your CC. So, if you want to know what you’re getting into for $15/month, you can’t! Most of these apps just parse info from sources you’re probably already using. If they had a good product they would let you use it and then sign up. Otherwise, set up a google alert and you’ll save yourself the money.
I hate apps who make you commit before you even see the product…. And no, cancelling your sub in 30 days is not the same. The consumer should have to opt-in, not have to opt- out of being charged. Companies like rocket money have created whole businesses on this scam.

The goat

Definitely comes in handy

Pay wall

I only downloaded this to know about restocks but that feature is behind paywall smh

Wins

I’ve been loosing a lot lately but this app is bringing me back to winning 🙏🙏💯💯🔥🔥

Great Info and worth it.

Always provides good information/reminders and often helps with getting special shoes. They can sell out so fast it’s nice to have the advantage of this app. Thank you!
