The app is so so incredibly laggy and slow 🙃 Update: Still incredibly useless. The app logs me out and I need to sign back in almost every time I use it. The search function isn't showing results for anything, and it's also not showing the books I have in my cart, or the ones I have saved for later. Why even bother releasing an app if it's ALWAYS reliably unreliable.? At this point it's more stable and reliable for me to use the b&n website on my phone rather than the app.

Hey, thanks for writing a review. Sometimes, the app may be slow but such instances are rare. If it happens too often, please let us know at service@bn.com. We'll have things investigated.

This slow, buggy app has one of the worst search and browse interfaces that I have seen in all of e-commerce. Search is fuzzy by default with no way to enable an actual keyword search or search only sale items. Results are cluttered with items that are unavailable in-store or online, with no apparent way to remove them. Filtering, sorting, and viewing options are all very limited. Customer service via chat is rude & unprofessional and would rather end the chat than admit an error and apologize.

Constant freezing and crashing. I like shopping online for books (paperbacks), because it's more guaranteed that the book(s) I'm looking for will be available than going to my nearest B&N store to see if its on the shelf. However, ever since downloading the app, it has not once worked for ordering books. Just trying to add books to my wishlist or shopping cart is a hassle when it keeps freezing and I have to wait for it to catch up to my selection, or it just crashes and I have to find it again.
