- [R9] Hollister Co. 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 ❤️
- [R12] Hollister Co. never in stock: always upping the prices but never putting stuff back in stock.
- [R63] Urban Outfitters They never restock: Things sell out too fast and never get restocked. 7$ shipping is also outrageous for the quality.
- [R99] Urban Outfitters new rewards system is trash: i’ve been a part of urban’s rewards system since 2016 and usually wind up hitting gold tier by june. i’ve seen them dwindle down how often you get rewards for years, and this new update is the worst thing yet. change it back, and where did the birthday gifts go?
- [R4] Hollister Co. review: app loads very slowly. none of the pictures are showing and i can’t see anything but the title if the item.
- [R19] Hollister Co. super glitchy: this app is laggy and glitchy and takes forever to add something into the cart ir search the item up
- [R65] Urban Outfitters Very great app: This is a very great app that is easy to use.
- [R70] Urban Outfitters App broken: For months I can’t use the app it just keeps saying “there’s a problem authorizing your account” every time I open the app. I delete it and redownload so I’m not even logged it and it doesn’t matter.
- [R13] Hollister Co. 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!
- [R44] Hollister Co. We don’t MATTER: Company feels that consumers or customers don’t matter they lost my package as of June 2 here it is the ninth and they’re saying if I’m approved they will give me a new package but only if it’s approved when FedEx and Hollister never sent me a package because it was lost by FedEx since June 2. This company feels that we don’t matter because they have too many customers to be worri
- [R67] Urban Outfitters Order processing poor application functionality: I had to attempt four times before my order would be able to go through and two items even if the size changed would not process
- [R103] Urban Outfitters 0 stars: I would give it a 0 but I can’t. Every time I order something it goes to back order or out of stock after it takes my payment. Never had a good experience with this app. I’m always chasing an order I spent money on Months ago and never get my full return.
- [R21] Hollister Co. 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.
- [R72] Urban Outfitters XXXpensive: For pretty basic stuff
- [R86] Urban Outfitters Love: It’s expensive, but I know why it’s expensive because it’s really good quality
- [R78] Urban Outfitters too expensive: really expensive, despite good quality. would be beneficial for students if we could apply more than one discount to an order. it said an order above 50 dollars would receive free shipping, but did not.
- [R16] Hollister Co. Terrible app: Doesn’t load to make a return or get to customer service. I’ve been trying for weeks. Extremely frustrated.
- [R58] Hollister Co. If I could I’d give a zero.: Literally horrible, the returns are absolutely a nightmare NEVER order from here
- [R82] Urban Outfitters UO Rewards: Deleted the app because of the horrible new rewards system.
- [R94] Urban Outfitters Don’t like new version: Scam: $5 rewards after your 4th purchase don’t show. You call customer service and they don’t help. I prefer old reward program where you could track your progress on the app
