Recurring themes

Technical Issues negative
Many users report significant technical problems with the app, including frequent crashes, slow loading times, images not appearing, and general lag. Login and password recovery are particularly problematic, with users often unable to sign in or being logged out unexpectedly. These issues directly contradict the developer's notes about stability improvements and bug fixes.R5R27R34R38
Stock & Availability negative
A recurring complaint is the lack of stock for popular items, especially in common or smaller sizes. Users express frustration over items selling out quickly, not being restocked, or appearing available online but being out of stock upon ordering.R9R10R35R66
Shipping & Delivery negative
Many users experience significant delays in shipping, with packages arriving weeks or even months late, or not at all. Some report issues with tracking updates and difficulty getting refunds or replacement orders for lost packages.R31R65R85R88
App Usability & Features mixed
While some find the app organized and easy to use, others criticize its confusing new layout, lack of essential features like dark mode, wish list saving/sharing, and in-stock notifications. There are also complaints about the app requiring recent iOS versions, making it inaccessible for some users.R3R25R28R36
Product & Pricing mixed
Reviews are mixed on product quality and pricing. Many praise the quality and style of Hollister clothes, finding them comfortable and durable. However, a significant number of users find the prices too high and feel that the brand has shifted towards 'fast fashion' with inconsistent styles and quality.R1R4R10R16

Who it's for

This app is for existing Hollister customers who appreciate the brand's clothing style and are looking for deals, or those who prefer to browse and shop online R4R23. It is not recommended for users who prioritize a stable, glitch-free shopping experience, require reliable customer service for returns or order issues, or need consistent stock availability, especially for specific sizes R31R33R38R114.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on technical issues and operational problems like shipping and stock. While the lifetime rating is very high (4.86), the recent sentiment indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction, particularly concerning app functionality and order fulfillment. The developer's notes claim 'stability improvements and bug fixes,' but recent user feedback directly contradicts these claims, reporting ongoing and severe technical issues.

  13. [R5] 1/5 · US Fast fashion and bad login: I just found out Hollister is fast fashion which is basically Loy quality clothes and exploration of people in the east who work with low wages and extremely poor working conditions and second the login for this app sucks when you forget your password they email u a temporary password and it usually doesn’t for me at least

  16. [R121] 1/5 · US Just let me sign in.: I made an account yesterday, every time I attempt to sign in so I can order something I had put on my list, it says there’s an error. At first I thought may have put in my password wrong, but no I tried a different password and I different message popped up telling me the password was incorrect. So I know this issue is on the side of the app and even the website, and not with

  22. [R10] 3/5 · US Why I love Hollister ❤️: I love shopping at Hollister but the app doesn't have the same options of clothing as the store so your choices are limited and the it's expensive but Hollister is a great place to shop ❤️
  23. [R35] 3/5 · US never in stock: always upping the prices but never putting stuff back in stock.
  24. [R66] 1/5 · US Your Doing to Much: Hollister, why is it that an item is no longer in shelf when it’s only been a few weeks. Especially new releases? I often find new drops on the clearance not even a month later and I think that’s crazy. Not everyone can drop 28 dollars on a shirt once it gets released and it’s very frustrating when I save money to buy a shirt only for it to be on clearance and out of my size li
  25. [R31] 1/5 · US WHERE IS MY ORDER???: I order almost 2 months ago and my delivery still isnt here!!!! if it doesnt show up i want a refund!! this is outrageous service its not letting me contact Hollister WHERE IS MY PACKAGE!!??? Its been in “transit” FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS i will be suing if my package doesn’t come in the next week!

  27. [R85] 1/5 · US Great quality but shipping…..: Great quality clothing but shipping can blow.
  28. [R88] 3/5 · US Shipping: I ordered my package, it said it would be delivered by a certain date. It was passed the date stated and a few days later it still said it would be delivered by the original date. The tracking updates stopped appearing and my parcel was delivered weeks later than anticipated.
  29. [R33] 1/5 · US Terrible app: Doesn’t load to make a return or get to customer service. I’ve been trying for weeks. Extremely frustrated.
  30. [R122] 1/5 · US If I could I’d give a zero.: Literally horrible, the returns are absolutely a nightmare NEVER order from here
  31. [R130] 1/5 · US Frustrated: Ordered $85+ worth of clothes, it said it applied my $15 off, but it did not. Now it wants me to communicate via WhatsApp, but no one will respond
  32. [R28] 1/5 · US iOS 18 required now?? Really?: I don’t understand why I have to update my phone to use this app.
  33. [R36] 1/5 · US Bad: I have a iPhone 13 and it will not allowed me to update nor download this app. Be better.
  34. [R261] 1/5 · GB Hollister lover: Have been an app shopper for years but the recent update required a software upgrade which was not convenient. Now I have recent version but the app is awful so slow and won’t upload the pictures of the items
  35. [R391] 3/5 · GB Great but…: My daughter loves Hollistare but she is 12 and quite small for her age and know clothes fit her she has an iPhone 10 so she can’t download the app it’s great for me but if you can make come smaller clothes that would be awesome thanks
  36. [R64] 3/5 · US Good app but…: This app is great! Although it didn’t save my favorites after awhile of not being on the app. I don’t know if this is user error or what..
  37. [R189] 3/5 · US No dark mode: Other then that its fine
  38. [R389] 3/5 · GB No dark mode :(: I really like Hollister’s clothes and the in-store experience is always great. The staff are friendly and the vibe is spot on. But the app itself could use some work. It can be a bit glitchy at times, and I’ve noticed it’s either missing a dark mode or it’s really hard to find if it exists. It makes browsing a bit uncomfortable, especially at night. I love the brand, but I wish th
  39. [R457] 3/5 · GB Good but something very important is missing: The app is really good, but the only quite bad point is that I would have liked something to receive a message/email whenever an item would get back in stock. Now I have to check every day if the item is back in stock and I never know if I missed it or not.
  40. [R94] 3/5 · US Not the best: As usual of any brand they want money but I just recommend not to download any apps for brands. Hollister keeps pestering to me about clothes and rewards and I do like the clothes I bought but I don’t feel that it’s high quality enough to justify the price.
  41. [R147] 1/5 · US I love Hollister but it is too expensive: It’s just too expensive. I love it. The clothes are amazing but like it’s just too expensive and they used to not be this expensive like let’s be for real.
  42. [R569] 3/5 · CA Cute: Love the clothes and style, everything I’ve bought has descent quality. The thing everything is way overpriced and they don’t even have a rewards program or a points system for frequent shoppers so it’s hard to get a good deal.
  43. [R301] 3/5 · GB Location issues: Won’t let me put my location into the United Kingdom only the us this is sad. Okay otherwise tho because it crashes like every other month which isn’t good but layout is good and aesthetics and easy to find what you need
  44. [R445] 3/5 · GB Can’t let me change my region settings: Hollister has adorable clothing and I wish to purchase from there a lot and earn points however on the app it doesn’t let me change my settings to uk even though I am a British citizen Because of this I am unable to receive points because it states I unable to earn them without a uk account.I myself remember making this account and putting the currency to GB
  45. [R16] 5/5 · US Best deal, best quality: I also come here first for school shopping for kids in need!
  46. [R101] 2/5 · US Huge downfall: Honestly a hit or miss some of the clothes are just so ugly and tacky and there always sold out of the smaller sizes.
