What reviewers actually said
Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R1] Wish Poor products and refused to refund: I bought a laptop case from Wish. The plastic smell is so horrible that even after airing it for a week, the smell is still there. I told customer service about it and requested to refund and I will return the product. They refused saying the product already “fulfilled the requirements”. I insisted and they sound said they will partially refund it as courtesy.
- [R6] Wish Not for kids: It is most definitely not for kids because I was searching up van shoes and showed v**** and toys ifykyk adults.
- [R9] Wish Dp James: I joined the WISH FAMILY in 2016 and I ordered a lot of things from them needless to say the items were HORRIBLE the clothes were NOTHING LIKE WHAT THEY ADVERTISED. They were very poor quality and not to mention they charged you for shipping FOR EVERY ITEM THAT YOU ORDERED!!!! OOOMMMGGG When I looked I was being charged for EVERY SINGLE ITEM THAT I ORDERED, I didn’t realize this until it
- [R11] Wish Great Products & Great Prices: I love shopping on Wish because they offer unique , high-quality items that make life easier and more enjoyable.
- [R3] Wish Prices: Used to love Wish. I bought a 6 pack of underwear in the past for $35. Now if I want to reorder that same 6 pack it’s $149. Everything has turned so expensive. I may as well get the items from Amazon
- [R12] Wish You get what you paid for.: For the price, the product is good. Shipping cost is ridiculous and it takes way too long for u to get ur order.
- [R19] Wish Just done: So pretty good but laggy and over priced you will see a really cheap thing but the shipping is extremely expensive and so many ai seller's
- [R4] Wish Fix the app!!!!: It’s says I’m signed out but when I sign in, I get errorrrrr!!!
- [R7] Wish Signing in and reviews: I’ve been waiting for over a month now to leave reviews on the previous items that I received and now I’ve been signed out of the app and when I try to sign back in it just buffers, which is really going downhill and I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna use it honestly UPDATE: still can’t sign back in. Starting to wonder if o got banned even though I don’t think I’ve ever
- [R13] Wish Issues has Risen: This app was fantastic, now I can’t get in it. It says I’m signed out, I never sign out. When I try to sign back in, an error message comes up.. PLEASE FIX The one star will be back to five once you update/fix app.
- [R14] Wish Very Efficient App: This app absolutely works wounders and does very miracle things, my favorite to scroll through is the kitchen accessories, totally worth it
- [R27] Wish Good products, slow delivery: You have some really good products, however you need to look in as how you can speed up the delivery of the products.
- [R36] Wish Shipping: Too long
- [R46] Wish My “free” item refunded without my permission: I ordered a free item a couple of days ago and it was supposed to arrive tomorrow but when I checked the order screen it says it was refunded. It then told me to wait 10 extra days to get my refund.
- [R8] Wish Prompt Responses: Great customer service.
- [R34] Wish Disappointing: I reached out to support to ask a question & got no answer. I’m working this a week after I sent them the message asking the question. I’ll stick with Amazon from now on, THEY answer messages & offer better products.
- [R37] Wish Love Wish!: I love Wish because the prices are great, customer service is great, and I never really have issues with the items. They last as long as you'd at least expect. I also love that they aren't so strict about if you have an older device. They support back to ios 14 currently, when many other apps require newer os, 17, 18 for absolutely no reason. It's a basic shopping app, why do they all
- [R26] Wish This app used to be good: This app has become very expensive SHEIN is better
- [R28] Wish More expensive than Temu: I was a regular on this app years ago and thought I would check it out again. This app is more expensive than Temu, and thats just sad.
- [R40] Wish prices: why?! prices are so hight comparing to amazon?
- [R61] Pick 'n Save Constant Updates: This app needs to be updated every other week or it absolutely refuses to let you use it. Completely ridiculous for a grocery app.
- [R70] Pick 'n Save Does not work at all: App or website does not work. FIX YOUR DAMN WEBSITE AND APP. ITS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS. CANT ACCESS ON IOS 16.6 iPhone and CAN NOT ACCESS ON IPAD IOS 28. THE WEBSITE WILL NOT LOG YOU IN. JUST REDIRECTS YOU TO THE HOME PAGE OVER AND OVER WHEN CLICKING SIGN IN
- [R76] Pick 'n Save Last APP Update NEEDS FIXING: Not happy at all with this last app update! With all my groceries that I had saved to my list, IT DELETED IT ALL, BUT that’s not ALL, it will NOT LET ME SAVE NO MORE TO MY LIST. I have to turn on and off my cellphone and that doesn’t help. NOW, the only way I can save my grocery list, is by adding it to my cart like I was going to pick it up in my car, but seriousl
- [R79] Pick 'n Save Non-functional: With latest update, does not work at all. Deleted my lists, and I can not add any items to a shopping list.
- [R68] Pick 'n Save Love the pick up option: App is easy to use and saves so much time!
- [R74] Pick 'n Save Very convenient and focused: Got started using the app during the pandemic, and like it so much I use it all the time. The store maintains a list of the items I buy frequently, and I combine that with the list of items they have on special, which are also listed on the app. The people who select the items are to be commended on selecting the freshest produce. Things I would have selected myself.
- [R95] Pick 'n Save Awesome for grocery pickup: Fast app never crashes . You can add all the electronic coupons and check out it’s so convenient!!!
- [R104] Pick 'n Save Mary: I have been using the pick up service since it started back during Covid and I absolutely love it the pickers do an awesome job there’s never a long wait and I always get what I want. Thank you for having the service.
