- When you have so many products - it takes considerable effort to pare down to what you need. Then start adding to the cart. One mistaken press and you are doing it all over. It’s maddening.
- The app kind of opens the website within itself but also has a few of its own buttons so you’re never quite sure were you’re meant to click.
- If you want to buy a part you have to go to the Mouser web site.
- The app isn't iOS 7 optimized and really is only their website in a browser, aside from the scanner.
- Part number search takes you to a page in the catalog, instead of to the product description or part spec sheet.
