- [R2] Nike Great but one thing: I really like this app and it’s one of my favorites. I really like the selection and good things that they have. There are a few things about that I think could be fixed on to make it work better first off the NikeAI I really like it but it’s really hard to tell that it’s actually trying to tell you if you ask it like when’s this gonna go on sale or something like that it’ll j
- [R22] Nike Hate the World Cup themed splash screen: I just want to buy shoes I don’t want my phone to shake and see some super bright colors at night
- [R61] Fabletics It’s just “OK”: Im a vip member so i pay the monthly subscription. Half of the clothes aren’t available and they don’t tell you they’re out of stock until you’ve tried to add it to the cart. The styles are limited and some dated. It’s almost impossible to cancel or skip a month. It’s shouldn’t have to be a whole process to do so. The app is glitchy-you’ll add something and it’ll refresh and all of
- [R72] Fabletics Love the clothes, hate the shopping experience: The browsing/scrolling shopping experience is extremely inefficient. Put all the same item options on the same detail page. Fix the “sort by” feature so it actually works. I love your products but browsing your app takes up way too much time and I end up checking out because I’m frustrated, not because I’m done!
- [R10] Nike new app update: the new app update made it impossible to find the for sale section. overall the flow of the main homepage is not intuitive. the app redesign looks like it was made by ai.
- [R52] Nike Horrible: New update has no simple navigation. Too complicated
- [R87] Fabletics App is so unresponsive: The app just not respond most of the time, and has to force reopen again due to the slowness of functions. After reading the other comment which is stated 2 years ago, and now 2024 still hasn’t been improve much. This is really upsetting.
- [R93] Fabletics App way too slow!: I want to love this app. I like the layout of everything and it’s so easy to navigate. I like the option to take your credit early and skip that month in the app. My biggest issue is it is just so terribly slow. When I’m wanting to browse it takes so so long for anything to load it puts me off and I just revert to the webpage. Please try to fix this soon 🙏🏼 (iPhone user)
- [R4] Nike The app doesn’t send the confirmation code: The app doesn’t work
- [R28] Nike Doesn't send the verification code: I've tried numerous of time to send a verification code to my email and the app does not send it to my email. I've tried several times time and time again. This app is extremely flawed and needs to be fixed. This isn't the first time this has happened to me and my account.
- [R67] Fabletics Glitchy App, Unfair Membership, Poor Qualit: Every time I try to start a return through the Fabletics app, the entire app seems to stop working. The return process is extremely glitchy, frustrating, and unreliable. On top of that, if you cancel your membership in the middle of the month, or even right after being charged for that month, you immediately lose access instead of being able to use the
- [R85] Fabletics Most ridiculous company: The app wouldn’t let me login even with a code sent to my phone. I tried to go to their website but it wouldn’t let me even look at a pair of shorts without providing all of this personal information. So I canceled my VIP account, deleted the app, and will never buy anything from them ever again.
- [R35] Nike Really good app with good customer service as well: There’s an amazing selection of shoes and other clothing to purchase and even got a one time discount for new users I that I had to cancel the order I used it on but a customer service rep was really helpful in helping me buy the shoes with that promo discount
- [R70] Fabletics “Gotcha” sales tactics: Fantastic over priced products. Get you in with some Very Good Deals but to be a VIP member you are charged $79/mo but difficult to use the cash value. If you do it? Get in and GET OUT, unless you want charged $79 per month for a VIP credit and then have to use that money on a $40 product. They also add on a “Tariff tax” of ~$4 on a $19 product!! So they are trying for extr
- [R91] Fabletics Not worth it: The subscription is like $80 a month you only get one credit most everything on the sight is on sale all the time even the sets usually are only like $50 shipping takes forever leggings aren’t even great material but I did like the biker shorts and jackets I gave it 6 months to see if it got better…. It did not
- [R94] Fabletics Not user friendly: This app is hard to navigate but, more importantly, the whole VIP credit makes no sense and is difficult to make sense of. There needs to be a better breakdown of what is being paid. If something is 1 VIP Credit, why am I paying extra? The logic in sending promotions for things on sale makes no sense. Spend a VIP Credit you paid $69.99 for on a product reduced to $20? I do eve
- [R104] Fabletics App and support are terrible now: The past multiple orders I have tried to put through have required a long phone call?!
- [R1] Nike Great for Shopping annoying for Alerts: Functionally wise, this is a good app. However, when you try to filter on just men’s clothing, it does not show you only men’s items. The most annoying thing with this app is when you delete messages you still have a red circle on the app icon on your home screen. I think they do this on purpose to get you to go back into the app. But it never removes those
