Inaccurate information?

It says the iphone 16 pro 128gb desert is available at the nearby apple store (i’m in ottawa canada) but when I check the apple store app they’re not available for pick up. I went to the apple store today and it is unavailable. Hope the dev could fix this.

Lacking two important features

This app expects you to have the app open and in front at all times. This is the only way it’ll keep checking stock levels every minute or so. Even if you switch to another app, it’ll stop monitoring :/ …. In the words, this type of app should always have background app refresh. How can someone expect a customer to always have their phone unlocked at all times and keep their app in the front ?

Secondly, there’s no method of notifying the customers in case a phone comes in stock somewhere nearby. That is, the app has no notifications concept.
