- [R1] Fabletics can’t login: i’ve tried on different nights to log into my account, and nothing is helping. very disappointed.
- [R10] Fabletics Disappointed: No matter how many times I try I cannot log in to the app. I get to the verification process enter the code that has been texted to me and then the thinking circle just goes on forever and eventually says error something went wrong
- [R13] Fabletics TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE: Can’t sign into website Can’t sign into app Such a bad slow website and app
- [R18] 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.
- [R5] Fabletics Love it all!: I use Fabletics for all my workout threads, casual wear, AND their scrubs for my long shifts in the ICU. I love how they make me look and how they make me feel.
- [R8] Fabletics fabletics better than anything!: most comfortable clothing very easy to move around!
- [R11] Fabletics RN: My most comfortable active wear on a daily basis
- [R12] Fabletics Always out of stock: Love the clothing, but when I find something I love it’s almost always out of stock in my size.
- [R2] Fabletics Rewards: I love how Fabletics rewards you for buying the things you love. It shows they value your opinions and want to keep you happy and returning for more.
- [R4] Fabletics Scam: Cool stuff but their membership is a scam.
- [R7] Fabletics Fees: I don’t agree with bundle deals saying the credit covers the cost then at checkout, requiring me to pay a difference for the amount my credit doesn’t cover.
- [R9] Fabletics Sneaky up charges: I really love the clothes. Especially when it comes to anything outside of gym clothes. I’m able to dress nice for a reasonable price as a member. Customer service is usually pretty great as well. However, I noticed something questionable recently.. I paid my normal $70 members fee. Decided to get a pair of swim shorts and a cabana shirt. I noticed that without using the member
- [R25] Fabletics Scam App: The app charged me a random charge for a “membership token” of $70 after I made a purchase a few weeks ago. And it won’t let me delete my card off my account or delete the account at all. Don’t buy from the website because they will keep your card on file. I’ve been on hold with customer service for an hour.
- [R30] Fabletics No customer service: I attempted to cancel my account. You continue to take money out of my account monthly and and have received no credits in my account. I attempted to call and it said there were 20,000 people waiting in line ahead of me. You owe me money for all the months I was charged and received nothing.
- [R32] Fabletics VIP program is deceitful: The VIP program charges you $69 per credit if you forget to skip a month in the 3 days you have to do so. If you don’t use the credits within a year, they fall off. So you get NOTHING for your $69. You can call customer service and after they guilt you for wanting your credit that you PAID for restored, they do so reluctantly. Ask again and your browbeaten. If that’s no
- [R61] Under Armour Dreadful Customer Service!: So disappointed in my experience with customer call center.
- [R3] 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!
- [R6] Fabletics Good: Great deals. Sometimes materials don’t match to sizes. Also, takes longer than advertised to get to you. I wish shipping would be faster. Literally takes 2 was sometimes longer to get here. Other than that, no biggie.
- [R19] Fabletics credit doesn’t cover it all: your VIP credit doesn’t cover the full cost out the door - you’ll still have to pay more once your check out. maybes it’s in the fine print who knows - i didn’t
- [R67] Under Armour Guess you don’t like money: Can’t seem to be able to change my payment info. Guess I’ll take my business elsewhere
- [R70] Under Armour Error: Getting operational error while login, as compared to other apps, this is not giving me a good user experience. Developers should really work on it throughly This is the error I’m getting Uh Oh This feed's cooked, fr. Check back soon, bestie! (There was a problem loading this page. Please try again later)
- [R76] Under Armour App won’t load: The app won’t load on startup even after re-installing Error is “Uh Oh This feed's cooked, fr. Check back soon, bestie! (There was a problem loading this page. Please try again later)” After clicking the OK button, the app throws another when trying to login before username and password are even requested. Search doesn’t work either. Please improve testing to ensure reliability
- [R81] Under Armour Payment combination problem: You can’t use a gift card and then Apple Pay for the balance of the transaction. That is a serious flaw in the app.
