Best shopping app I own by far
NEVER rate or write reviews on apps. Felt compelled to with this one.
TL;DR: If you shop Costco regularly and aren’t using this, I suspect you are losing money without realizing it.
The key is learning how the app works, accepting Costco’s own inventory tracking limitations, and keeping up with the tool’s growing set of features.
Within months of buying the premium version, I’d already saved many times its cost.
One huge benefit is the clean, clear tracking of price changes on what you’ve already purchased. Just yesterday, saved close $20 on 30-day price drop refunds I wouldn’t have known about without the app flagging them.
Having paid over the years for many apps whose long-term value proved questionable, this one truly shines.

no thanks
downloaded the app to check one thing after being forced to from the website to look and see…. the one item i wanted to check was under the premium subscription. instant delete
Really useful
It’s not 100% accurate at times but most of the time it’s very useful to see if items are in stock and the pricing! The only negative is that I find the subscription too much money for what you get, I’d gladly pay the $80 for a lifetime sub and maybe around $20 for a yearly but the current pricing is too high for me to subscribe and the free version does most of what I need anyway. Wish the official Costco app had this functionality!

Need one time purchase option
I’d pay for a one time purchase option but I’m tired of having to pay for a subscription for everything.
Not accurate at all
3 local locations show 2 highly and one low in stock. How about zero because I checked against the Costco App. And shop there weekly. It hasn’t even exist for the last 5 months. Use the Costco App is way better.
Was Useful until..
the developers got greedy hiding features behind paywall. Deleting.
$7 wasted
I was looking for a specific item so bought a month subscription. Turns out all the deals were across the country. The search function is very limited, I’m not actually able to easily search for thing (categories are huge - I don’t need to see candles when all I’m looking for is furniture for my new apartment). If there was a week free trial or the price point was much cheaper this app would make more sense. If I find some value in the remaining month I’ll change this review.

Very smart app
It’s very smart!
Not accurate for my local stores “last checked 2 hours ago” for most things wrong
Not accurate for most of my local stores, when it says “Last checked x hours ago” can no longer be trusted most in/out of stock or even prices is not accurate most of the times on several items over several months when I’m at the store, when I verify with the store the item may not have been in stock for weeks, even tough the app says it was and was “verified 2 hours ago”. Also, I accidentally (my fault) purchased a year and am stuck with it, no refunds. Buyer beware. Don’t delay, make sure you verify its accuracy during the trial (if they have it still) o small month before committing (din’t let it auto bill the subscritpionand forget like me)

Impressive
I wish this app was the warehouse tab of our favorite club app, as it’s impressive. I plan to purchase the yearly plan to support.
Two things that would be nice
1. Scanning product barcodes to pull up the item instead of the sign
2. Tracking Ecom orders for price drops (I understand this might be difficult)

Not accurate at all
Used for multiple locations, app needs work as accuracy is off. I noticed items shown discounted and in stock but the items have been out for at least a couple months.
All about Costco
Great App for Costco lovers!!!
Great app, randomly stopped working!
I really love this app but one day I opened it and it was empty - like I could flick through the screens but it showed zero items in each category
I have tried deleted and redownloading the app many times, nothing fixes it. And there doesn’t appear to be a way to report bugs. Very frustrating!

Inaccurate
We were presented with a very large list of clearance items supposedly available at the 3 warehouses we are near to. The app listed many more items than we really saw on clearance, and a number of items that the app said were on clearance at the specific warehouse but were not. Overall food items seemed reasonably accurate but clothing was completed inaccurate perhaps 10% of the listed items were available.
I realize this is a Costco issue to a great extent - I've been a member for 25 years and their inventory system is pretty much 1970's at best - but if the underlying data is unreliable it defeats the purpose of the app regardless of where the data comes from.

Just, Simply GREAT !
The best app ever made for shopping best prices and it is pretty accurate.Well worth the premium. U won’t regret it. Saving gas, time and effort, as well as $. Still can’t grasp how it does it. It is like Magic. Well as long as it is legal, the technical stuff is where the developers should excel and are indeed. Thank you!

You can’t really buy anything
The app isn’t useful because the Costco inventory reports on which it’s based are inaccurate when they get to the very last few items. They’ll be sold out yet the app shows low stock. So you can’t really buy things.
Awesome
This app is definitely helpful in helping you find clearance items, mind you that Costco may have some inaccuracies with reporting in stock or low stock. It’s always best to call the warehouse before going to make sure the item you’re looking for is available. Wish there was a bigger selection for stores when you pay for premium since where I live there is tons of Costcos around possible allowing up to 20 stores? Also noticed trending page on your site, perhaps adding that to the app? Also when searching all stores. Being able to filter by state would help

You can’t really buy anything
The app isn’t useful because inventory is wildly off and nonexistent at warehouses. So you can’t really buy it.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. The app is designed for price tracking and comparison rather than purchasing. It shows recent prices, inventory status, price drop alerts, notifications for potential receipt adjustments, new items at your warehouse, and more. If you notice any errors with price or availability, you can report them in the app so others can see your feedback.
Don’t waste your money on premium
Data was over a week old- waste of money
Downloaded App to Search for Costco Item
I made multiple searches for sunglasses and not one pair of sunglasses appeared. I do not recommend this app.
