  1. [R2] Slickdeals 5/5 · US Like deals?: Well this is the app for you I have save over 300 and that is within less than a couple of months on Amazon !!!
  2. [R5] Slickdeals 5/5 · US Deals everywhere!: Slickdeals has already saved me hundreds on items that I’ve been wanting to get but wanted to wait for sales to get them. Love this app!!!!!
  3. [R62] Target 5/5 · US Amazing: Love the free pick up
  4. [R68] Target 5/5 · US The best dept store: Target always has a good price, good customer service. Cleaner and we’ll organized than Walmart stores. Keep it up.👍
  5. [R1] Slickdeals 1/5 · US Incompetent developers: Font is too big now and ads still open when you scroll on them. Also says “an error occurred” like all the time now. Good news is the app is almost at a CS senior design project level now. Also has extremely choppy scrolling App is now having an issue where nothing loads. Textbook Slickdeals quality That time of the year. Ads auto open to generate extra revenue. Devs said
  6. [R4] Slickdeals 1/5 · US Newest update makes app lousy: Why in the world would you remove the quick access to categories. People are not going to use the app if it becomes next to impossible to figure out how to see what they want to see. I’m still mind-blown that someone agreed to the current layout as being the best choice. This is wildly off.
  7. [R69] Target 3/5 · US App freezes and glitches a lot: Usage is not always smooth
  8. [R70] Target 1/5 · US Buggy and slow: I can hardly even use it anymore as Target has added so many features and overloaded the basic functionality of the app. Truly terrible UI and so slow even after update
  9. [R10] Slickdeals 1/5 · US Doesnt load: Doesnt load
  10. [R22] Slickdeals 1/5 · US Non stop expired deals: Staff posts non stop dead deals for Amazon. Hacks no longer work and coupon codes are never there. Been a huge waste of my time these past few months. SD is spam now and they get paid for clicks so they don’t care if the deals work anymore it’s all a scam.
  11. [R67] Target 2/5 · US When will I receive my order: I placed my order to be delivered between 6 and 7pm. I keep getting notification updates it’s being pushed back 1 hour at a time. Now it’s saying I will receive my order between 9 and 10pm. Why am I paying for delivery time and fee if it’s not going to be fulfilled
  12. [R90] Target 3/5 · US Slowest Speed EVER: It took waaay too long to place this order. The app speed was horrific! It took well over an hour, it took an unbelievably long time to update the quantity, even when trying to order only one. If I wanted more than one- game over- it took forever to go back and adjust the quantity. Ridiculous! Very frustrating- but once you’ve spent so much time on the order there was no going
  13. [R15] Slickdeals 3/5 · US The information sometimes is not correct: I see that sometimes it shows the wrong price and also not Alert me the items that I save on the list of Alert Items
  14. [R71] Target 4/5 · US My review: I give it a four I love target but it is expensive
  15. [R78] Target 3/5 · US The Target Circle freebies used to be really good when they were food options now they suck!: Also, I wish if you did like an order pick up like an hour instead of two hours would be so much better for an order cause two hours is just such a long window. I mean I get people are shortstaffed.
  16. [R36] Slickdeals 1/5 · US App dev team should be fired: App dev team clearly do not use their own app or they would fix would have fixed YEARS of freezing, crashing, and slow bugs. With AI coding nowadays this is unacceptable!
  17. [R46] Slickdeals 1/5 · US Privacy Nightmare: Look at what they collect and track. They sell your activity data and then you are on tons of lists for marketing ads, calls, emails, etc
  18. [R85] Target 1/5 · US App is nice, delivery and customer care is HORRIBLE: Never really used target but recently moved next to one a few months ago and got the app. The app is nice and easy to navigate. But I used the delivery option and the driver delivered it to the wrong place, didn’t answer, and customer care did not refund the full amount spent though they had the proof. Then ended the service chat as I was still
