Ratings and reviews

Since the update, I have been running into a number of problems. In one instance, it kept adding a "bonus pledge" onto my pledge. The app is much easier to use than going online, but these glitches mean that you have to go online anyway. Plus, the app needs to be able to sort successful pledges into those that have and those that have not been fulfilled.

For the most part it's a great app, especially if you are just browsing. But for purchasing it doesnt show you the full detail and pictures of the item the way the regular website does. So you cant see the different colors or extra parts or accessories that the product might come with depending on what price you want. If that gets fixed....then I would give it 5 stars instead of 4.

Website is easier to navigate than the app. Cancelling a pledge is a problem though. Says it has to verify your account with Facebook, then apologizes that it can not verify your account with Facebook. You can adjust the pledge, but not cancel it. This has been going on for years! I finally put a temporary debit card up as my primary means of payment and then cancelled the card. That way every pledge fails to charge and I can manually choose to change the payment option if I still want it.
