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.

  1. [R9] KicksOnFire 3/5 · US Good app pretty average: the prices are just not good because I’m not paying 300 dollars for panda dunks
  2. [R54] KicksOnFire 2/5 · US No good for drop dates: The drop dates are inaccurate many times and the app is limited on customizing or filtering. It’s basically a reseller platform.
  3. [R66] StockX 3/5 · US Help improve: I’m asking for StockX to employer on applying a cart for items so you can shop multiple items at once also if you have a large favorites it crashes every time you try to look through your favorites and there are no set text for shopping. Each one is different and the taxes are horrendous with ranging up to $30.
  4. [R89] StockX 4/5 · US I love this app: I really love this app. My only problem is and it’s not a huge deal but the fact you can only buy one item at a time is crazy to me. This is the only app I’ve EVER heard of where it’s not a cart to be able to checkout with multiple items
  5. [R1] KicksOnFire 1/5 · US Loading issues: Loading issues does not load all the way. Can’t always see the pictures
  6. [R3] KicksOnFire 3/5 · US Crashing: The App keeps booting me out and crashing!
  7. [R7] KicksOnFire 1/5 · US Crashing: Keeps crashing
  8. [R62] StockX 5/5 · US Easy to use app: I got black supreme forces and the payment and tracking was straight forward and to the point my opinion 5 stars
  9. [R10] KicksOnFire 1/5 · US Shoes have not come since December 9, 2025: I ordered Air Jordan 12 Dec 9 The shoes did come Tracking number never received But money taken from my account paid in full. I received a confirmation email that says order was received and I would receive a tracking number. It is January 1. 2026. Every time I try to go to the kicks on fire website, it says connection is not private and the website d
  10. [R40] KicksOnFire 1/5 · US Waiting still: Ordered shoes on Jan 22nd and 24th. Both estimated 2 weeks to deliver. Both were unreleased so they were more expensive. No info was given on the first pair. I sent a message to customer service and they assured they were being processed. Three weeks after I ordered the cancelled the order with no explanation. The second pair finally after 3 weeks of waiting they sent me a tracking
  11. [R58] KicksOnFire 1/5 · US Not worth the time of even downloading it on your phone: They sent me a pair of Black and gold 6’s in a size 8 but I ordered a pair of Black and Wolf Grey 12’s is a size 9.5. They will not answer their customer service calls or respond in the help box on their app with a personal assistant. This was my very first order and they not only sent the wrong shoe they also sent the wrong size shoe. Very
  12. [R61] StockX 1/5 · US Beware: I’ve had four orders that the seller declined to fulfill. Stock X charged me then held my money for weeks while they “tried” to find another seller. This policy kept me from immediately bidding again and made me miss birthdays for loved ones.
  13. [R57] KicksOnFire 5/5 · US Awesome: So good that I can order my favorite shoes I even bought the floors and they were real like they weren’t even a scam this app is crazy and the prices is cheap I rated it five stars because it’s so good this app even makes the delivery go fast😀
  14. [R72] StockX 3/5 · US Shipping: Shipping costs wayyyyyy too much
  15. [R78] StockX 3/5 · US Medio: Precios buenos pero a la hora de pagar por el producto te aumenta demasiado la tarifa, un ejemplo es unos tenis cuestan 100 pero con envío, inspection, etc, el total acaba siendo casi 140-160.
  16. [R11] KicksOnFire 5/5 · US App Not working: My order won’t let me track it and customer service not responding
  17. [R67] StockX 1/5 · US Over priced, horrible customer service: No phone for customer service. Terrible or no follow up.
  18. [R64] StockX 1/5 · US Never buying Again: They lie about delivery dates. Before you purchase the delivery dates are two weeks out. After purchase its pushed over a month. No customer service help, notices or anything. Goat is 10x better
