### 3/5 — not using this app, edited

*2026-07-15, version 10.14.0*

Edit: Zappos’s customer/user facing and design teams certainly could not take blame for Amazon’s UX choices and direction, so one can only despair Amazon’s bias for retina scalding in a UI.   For this iteration of the app’s experience(mid 2026), one could just use the web site, it looks nearly identical on start up.  Original:  White screen on start up .  Super irritating for those that have dark theme selected.  The app ignores its own theme setting, and instead shows an Amazon-esque splash screen with glaring white background.  If one wanted that, one could simply use the Amazon app, which completely ignores theme settings .  Further, even more irritating is the non-dismissible banner for whatever the current, not-relevant-to-me promotion is.  three stars because filtering is useful.   Probably only a matter of time before Amazon merges Zappos into the Amazon app.

### 3/5 — deleting this app

### 3/5 — UI issue

*2026-03-21, version 10.10.1*

The extended sizes after 14 are cutoff and unable to be selected in the filter menu

### 2/5 — What happened to the cat???

*2026-03-14, version 10.10.1*

Okay, admittedly it’s been a bit since I needed to buy running shoes, because for the last couple of years, I stopped running for a bit. 

But now I want to again, and I came back to your app to do it, and had to update my app, and apparently now if I add something to my cart, I no longer get a cute springy cat putting my item in the cart. Wtf. It was adorable and I loved it. Bring it back.

(No, I haven’t ordered yet. I wear Brooks, and your price is no better than my local running store. And you got rid of the cat.)

### 3/5 — Where’s the flying cat?

*2026-01-07, version 10.8.0*

Bring back the cat that flys to put my shoes in my cart. Also why does the scroll just roll well beyond when I attempted to stop it?

### 1/5 — Cumbersome app. Notifications and log in are circa 2005.

*2026-01-06, version 10.8.0*

Every time I open the app I’m logged out and have to log in again. Notifications will not stop coming despite me opting out more than once. Shopping in the app is really outdated and frustrating. You can click the same category and get different results every time, within minutes. Entirely different. Not just slightly different. The Amazon log in freezes every time I use it. I’ve all but given up using this app.

### 2/5 — Generic barely useful app

*2026-01-05, version 10.8.0*

The app is a reskinned generic app, can’t find anything because product tagging is all over the place. Like you’re looking for sweatpants, good luck. They’re called “joggers” in the app. Who calls them joggers in the US? App used to be good but was taken over by the lowest bidder apparently. Website is more useful than the app.

### 2/5 — Annoying sign in

*2026-01-03, version 10.8.0*

Love to shop on the app, but it asks me to sign in again every time I relaunch it!! Annoying!

### 1/5 — Amazon ruins another thing.  Glitchy app overpriced shoes

*2025-12-23, version 10.8.0*

I want to like Zappos’s but the fact my cart keeps emptying on its own and I need to re add things multiple times while paying top dollar is annoying.

### 1/5 — Said purchase was good and sending to fail

*2025-11-27, version 10.7.0*

Failed to be able to deliver shoes. An Amex platinum wasn’t up to their standards

### 2/5 — Limited search ability with latest update

*2025-10-04, version 10.6.0*

With the latest update, I’m no longer able to search for multiple shoe categories at one time, which is really disappointing. If I want to search for heels and flats at the same time, for example, I can’t do that now when it was never a problem before and it was one of the things I really loved about using the filters for.

### 1/5 — Forces you to receive marketing notifications

*2025-09-29, version 10.5.0*

Even when you turn the marketing push notifications setting in the app off, it continues to send them. The only way to stop them is to disallow all notifications from the app, so you also don’t receive important order notifications. This was confirmed by a Zappos rep. That’s a deceptive and poor strategy if you ask me. Why is the marketing notifications switch even there?

### 4/5 — You removed my favorite feature!

*2025-09-14, version 10.5.0*

One thing that I really enjoyed about this app was the cute little feature of raining cats down the screen when I shake my iPad. Why did they take this out recently?

### 2/5 — Favorites not loading

*2025-08-27, version 10.4.3*

Favorites not loading in iPhone app. Just updated and still not loading - just a blank screen.

### 1/5 — STOP the notifications!

*2025-08-15, version 10.4.2*

Ever since your app revamp, Ive been getting daily marketing notifications. You have a setting on the app to turn them off–which I turned off and they still keep coming. 

(I don’t want to turn them off on the OS side because I still want order notifications).

Developer: Got your response. It is NOT a matter of waiting 10 days. It has been 3 weeks and still getting daily annoying notifications with the setting turned off. I won’t be calling your support issue because this is not a user-side issue. This is on your end to fix. Thank you for understanding.

### 2/5 — Terrible redesign

*2025-08-04, version 10.4.0*

Zappos used to be a welcoming and innovative brand. It wasn’t trying to be cool. Now it has been rebooted by some (likely) poncy design firm who knows nothing about its customers or history. It’s sad to see.

### 2/5 — it got worse

*2025-07-27, version 10.3.0*

You can no longer filter on true shoe width. I’m a 6 W and very few shoes offer that, and now you have to select extra-extra wide instead of 6w or 6e so I have to search through over 4,000 shoes instead of like 50. That’s unreasonable for shopping making me use another online store.

Also I’m writing it here because there is no way to give app feedback without doing an entire survey or calling them. I just want to give feedback not fill out a questionnaire.

Which remove these features when it makes the user experience worse?

### 1/5 — Yet another company that forces obnoxious marketing notifications

*2026-08-03, version 10.14.0*

Does this marketing tactic actually work? Companies know that customers hate it. They even have the fake toggle to trick customers into thinking they can turn off marketing notifications! 

As usual the only option is to turn off all notifications in phone settings, so you won’t get order notifications either.

### 1/5 — Returns issues

*2026-06-26, version 10.13.0*

Every time I make a return they don’t even give my money back, I’ve done two returns this year, and every time I’ve waited 2 months per return, and it’s because I talk to the support to get it back, because if I don’t, they will never move, it’s very frustrating because it wouldn’t have to be like that.

### 1/5 — Don’t know how to order!

*2026-06-16, version 10.13.0*

You have overdone it!,

### 1/5 — Not cost effective anymore

*2026-05-24, version 10.12.1*

Zappos used to be my go-to for affordable shoes, but now prices aren’t worth it. No bargains - local stores are cheaper.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-03-08, version 10.10.1*

You better pray you don’t need your shoes before a certain date or job
…because they will 100% not get to you in a timely manner. It will sit in processing for days and be lost in transit.

### 1/5 — Where are the men’s shoes

*2026-02-13, version 10.9.0*

With the most recent update there is only one gender type as a filter option, women. Can men now only buy shoes on Amazon?

### 1/5 — App sucks, customer service sucks as well

*2026-02-08, version 10.8.1*

Playing around with a captia for 45 minutes to try to get into my account, customer service is useless.

### 1/5 — From Riches to Rags

*2026-02-06, version 10.8.1*

Used to love Zappos.  Not sure how long the insane sign in process has been in place, but no thank you!  Deleting the app.

### 1/5 — New authentication process is insane

*2026-02-04, version 10.8.1*

I love Zappos but the new app login authentication where you have to complete three puzzles of counting dice is INSANE. It was taking me so long to complete I abandoned it altogether and will no longer be shopping in the app.

### 1/5 — So sad

*2026-01-20, version 10.8.1*

Sold to Amazon, goes way down in quality. App is buggy, logins buggy.   Items disappear from cart. Used to be my automatic go to for shoes, guess not anymore.

### 5/5 — Worst experience

*2026-08-16, version 10.15.0*

too slow delivery. I never expected it will take couple of weeks for a single product to be delivered. Not worth time🤪

### 5/5 — IOS

*2025-09-21, version 9.3.3*

I’m no longer able to shop at Zappos because I don’t have the latest IOS? Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Yellow?

*2025-08-09, version 10.4.1*

Love your company, love your app, but did you have to do this bright yellow and plain font? Surely you can design something better.

### 5/5 — Great app, brand and service.

*2025-07-16, version 10.2.0*

This app is smooth, is very responsive and easy to use. I enjoy how it is as if I am on the website. No functionally is lost on the app, also just like Zappos.

### 5/5 — Seamless app

*2025-06-26, version 10.2.0*

Best Shopping app. Easy to use, pictures ands descriptions load fast, intuitive interface and search/filter. Bottom line: easy to shop. Only thing they need to bring back downvote arrow for reviews- there are too many pointless user reviews.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2025-05-25, version 10.1.0*

Thanks for the many styles to choose from and easy returns.

### 5/5 — Platform change

*2025-02-09, version 8.2.1*

Change to what?

### 5/5 — Buying Brooks Shoes

*2024-12-12, version 9.2.0*

I love the huge amount of choices and the free shipping and free return shipping!
A great way to shop for shoes since I have a narrow heel.

### 5/5 — $$$

*2024-12-02, version 9.2.0*

Always good prices and quality merchandise!

### 5/5 — Bogs quilted boots

*2024-11-02, version 9.0.0*

I love Zappos because of the shipping.  They make it so easy to order and exchange or return.  More companies should use their example!!!
