Ratings and Reviews

Love it - minus a few things

Overall the app is great and runs smoothly, never had an issue ordering ahead of time with it and my orders are always prepared quickly at the Caldwell location in Idaho. As far as that goes I don't like that I can't order oat milk on the app as a substitute so when I want it I have to order in store. Also I think pricing should be addressed on adding syrup pumps counts when customizing an order. I'm sure it's always been like that but just my opinion, If a standard is 4 pumps for a Grande and you customize and take away a pump to add 1 pump of a different flavor I don't see why that should cost an extra .50 cents. I think the cost for adding syrups should be based on how many pumps you add after the standard count. Anyways I love that app and I love the rewards you offer and doubling on points is extra nice as well. The Caldwell Location is AMAZING and all the staff is extremely kind and friendly always greeting me as I walk in and always saying goodbye as I walk out and thanking me for coming in. My drinks are always finished well before the expected pick up time. Keep it up!! You've made a regular customer for years to come.

App update lost some helpful features

The mobile app is so useful, however, the last update seemed to have gotten rid of some features I found helpful. For one, I don't like that now when you go Into the history, it no longer shows the date and time of your purchase, so if you need to take a screenshot of your "receipt" it does not include the complete purchase info, which renders it less useful. It shows a receipt number, which is not useful to me, and it is inconvenient to have to screenshot both the history list AND the purchase itself. Why did you get rid of this? Why fix what wasn't broken? Also, you have removed the date info for the Starbucks cards. It was helpful to have the info on the start dates of my cards to differentiate the cards, especially the similar ones. It used to have that info before. It also is frustrating when the app does not let you choose the store you want and sometimes suggests some faraway store. It would be helpful if it also told you reasons why you are unable to use the app - ie, store shut off mobile orders, store is closing, etc. Otherwise, you think it's your phone or app and you waste a lot of time. I also would like that the app kept the history details for the "free" items, because just because it's free, doesn't mean you don't want to record WHAT you had. But, for the most part, I like using the app.
