- [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
- [R26] Wish This app used to be good: This app has become very expensive SHEIN is better
- [R62] Slickdeals Love the savings!!: I have used slick deals for several years and I always look there first before buying. It’s my go to for Christmas shopping and finding the deals and promos in one spot is really a game changer! LOVE LOVE Slick Deals!!!
- [R68] Slickdeals Good deals on wide range of things: There are other apps I use to get things at a discount, but this is by far the first app I check for deals. This isn't full of clear-out, leftover stock that didn't sell somewhere. Its deals are posted by other users and the is a comment section where people comment on their experience and on tech stuff, their expertise with some users asking if a certain produc
- [R4] Wish Fix the app!!!!: It’s says I’m signed out but when I sign in, I get errorrrrr!!!
- [R36] Wish Shipping: Too long
- [R73] Slickdeals Last upgrade made this app painful to use: This app was working well but they just had to “improve”. You click a link and go to some external page. When you go back to the app, it resets to “for you” page and goes to the beginning of the page. Never mind that you may have been scrolling 10 screens down on a sub-forum or front page or elsewhere. Always resets to “For You”. Extremely unfriendly! Ple
- [R120] Slickdeals New app horrible: New app is horrible. Burke’s simple options that used to be one press away. The share button was moved and not an Apple standard. Search field moved to its own page instead of integrated up top. Nothing about this is easier or simpler to use and is a big step backwards.
- [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.
- [R52] Wish Not worth: Out of all the shopping aps I’ve tried this one has been the worse in terms of customer service and getting your stuff! I ordered several items from here and yes most of them arrived, late but they arrived! However one of them never showed up. I opened a ticket and tried to get a live agent to help me as the automated agent is no help at all and I was unable to get any assistance! Even
- [R89] Slickdeals Unreliable: Every time you scroll through the tabs when you first load the app the deals will not load. Have to always force close the app and reopen it. More reliable just to use the browser.
- [R101] Slickdeals Filled with Bloat Now: All of the recent updates have made the app and SD in general progressively worse. The app is now slow and buggy, freezing on me all the time. It also insists on resetting and showing you the logo startup every time you enter the app. You can’t come back to where you were before. The app also insists on showing you promoted and “For You” deals first and foremost. As for the
- [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
- [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.
- [R86] Slickdeals Excellent app for hot deals: This is for sure the best app for looking for good deals, I have found so many great deals in this app that I have recommended it to several friends and family.
- [R110] Slickdeals Amazing deals: There are many deals, real deals I have saved money with this app.
- [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.
- [R56] Wish They don’t follow there own refund if you don’t receive your order: I’ve contacted the customer service at least 20 times. They keep replying to contact them then a phone number they provided. No one answers the phone . Crazy and what a rule off
- [R92] Slickdeals Aggregates Best Deals from Everywhere: Clever app/site. Does a great job aggregating the best deals from 99% of sources. Sort deals by top voted seems to work the best for me.
