### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-24, version 6.129.1*

I know that everybody would give this a 5 well I would but a worker got my order wrong so I gave it a 4, asked for a vanilla latte and they used foam latte *means creamy latte* but it still was pretty nice to try!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-08-24, version 6.129.1*

Good app

### 5/5 — Seamless!

*2026-08-24, version 6.129.1*

Always does what it needs to do, on foe nem.

### 5/5 — Starbucks

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

Starbucks was my favorite, is my favorite and will be always my favorite!

### 5/5 — Ez

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

Simple to use, just wish the reward system had more 100 point options for drinks, all the drinks I like seem to be 200 points which is too much imo

### 5/5 — Mr. Hernandez

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

Best drink ever !!

### 1/5 — Insane

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

200MB is insane, sign up is confusing and verifying your email for PayPal and then closing the window when you come back to the app is insane. Apply pay to only buy gift cards for order ahead is dumb and inconvenient.

### 5/5 — Great advice

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

Sydney was the most amazing barista. Best ever employer for sure. She made sure we had all we needed & more

### 4/5 — Credit

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

I love the app, except for the fact that if you need to get a credit because a particular Starbucks isn’t open, it’s almost impossible to find a way to get that credited online. I’ve had it happen a few times where a Starbucks showed that it was open however, when I got there, it was closed.

### 5/5 — Nice App   - And Shop

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

Real Beneficial   - Great Standard’s   And Great Meaning  -
