Ratings and reviews

They got away from what works. The way they used to display, present & compared items made reviewing easy. Increasing the annual fees and then requesting an additional $10.00 per month along with the constant bombardment for donations is more then I'm willing to deal with. After being a member for decades sadly it's time to break ties and look for other reviewers on line.

I installed the app thinking the search capability would be better than the browser. I was wrong. There are so few filters on appliances such as refrigerators to make it almost useless. For instance, on the browser, I could filter for counter depth. In the app I could not (the browser filters though cut off at too low a max price with no way to change it). I'm pretty disappointed. If I can't figure it a way to get what I need not easily, I will cancel my membership and demand a refund.

Every once in a while, I can always count on the CR app to fail to allow me to log in. No real reason; I can sign in on any web browser, but the app gives me an "Oops!" message and tells me that either my username or password are incorrect, which of course they aren't. I uninstall and reinstall the app, but nothing works... and then a few days later, it just starts working again. Not impressive.
