### 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!

### 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.

### 2/5 — Store locations not showing

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

Updated the app. Location sharing is on. No connection issues and the app refuses to show nearby stores for mobile ordering. I have deleted the app. Re-downloaded the app many times. Nothing fixes this issue?!!! Anyone have and suggestions. I have been using the app for 6 years at least.

### 3/5 — Stars

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

### 3/5 — Pick up option

*2026-08-22, version 6.129.1*

This app need to change the way The button is for the pick up location.  it’s not obvious. many times I’ve skipped right over it without thinking about it. As usually not a problem if I go through the drive-through, even when the default option is pick up in the store, but still it should be fixed. most other apps you need to select a clear option.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — UI terrible

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

No iPad app and UI HOT GARBAGE

### 1/5 — Let us use a credit card like normal people

*2026-08-23, version 6.129.1*

Having to load money into the app in predetermined amounts is a huge scam.

### 1/5 — Chai

*2026-08-22, version 6.129.1*

Bring back the original chai!! The new one is terrible

### 1/5 — Extremely screwed system

*2026-08-21, version 6.129*

I ordered twice today, and both came in grande when I ordered venti. They gave me a refund of $5 for $9 dollar orders.

### 1/5 — Missing toppings

*2026-08-21, version 6.129*

Missing the cream cheese for the bagel and missing the toppings for my oatmeal

### 1/5 — 闪退

*2026-08-21, version 6.129*

更新完打开就闪退

### 1/5 — Live activities are broken

*2026-08-19, version 6.129*

The live activities used to show up and persist and be elegant now it just makes a noise and you don’t know the progress unless you lock the screen also the live activities when you drag it from the dynamic island is cropped and displays 90% not the whole live activity. This is just a joke. Fix this please. Make it like before where we can follow it on normal screen not just locked.

### 1/5 — Design over functionality

*2026-08-19, version 6.129*

So they decided design is top priority over functionality..charged my bank for free drink!! F brain Niccol

### 1/5 — Birthday reward is lame

*2026-08-18, version 6.129*

It’s wild. Does Starbucks only offers you a birthday reward that you can only redeem on the actual day of your birthday instead of redeeming it at your leisure at some point during the loss another reason my Starbucks to fail the company.
