Ratings and reviews

Can not update payment info, no matter which credit card I use, even though current credit card on file is from the US. It says to talk to my bank, and Chase says there is no issue on their end. No option to use alternative payment methods (PayPal, GPay) as default like in the US version. Don't understand how a company as big as Starbucks can't make a consistent app and user experience across different regions.

Fix the issue with Authentication token refresh. It's annoying when you need to close and reopen the app every time. Use location altitude to show up and down marks for stores below or above you. Add favorite sets of goods for quick order. Add panel/button for quick order of favorite set of goods at favorite store in one click.

It seems to have a lot of different features, but crashes a lot. I started with a gift certificate my wife gave me, but haven't been able to add money from a credit card as it crashes every time I try. Will uninstall and reinstall, but if that doesn't work I'll use the last of the gift certificate and uninstall permanently.
