  1. [R1] Sneaker Crush 1/5 · US Is this app broken?: There are no raffles available on the app, but there are a ton on other shoe apps now. The last news article is from JAN 2026. I paid for a subscription, but I’m not sure why. Is this what everyone else is seeing? I tried to contact their team but haven’t heard back. Hopefully, I can get this figured out on here.
  2. [R3] Sneaker Crush 3/5 · US Releases: Some shoes not accurate and they don’t update to the actual release date
  3. [R8] Sneaker Crush 5/5 · US Best Sneaker Release App 🔥: I’ve downloaded a ton of sneaker release apps over the years, and this is the only one that consistently gives me accurate info. The release dates are always updated, the pictures are super clean, and I love that it shows everything from Jordans and Dunks to Yeezy drops and collabs. The alerts come early and actually help me prepare for SNKRS drops instead of finding ou

The interface is clean and easy to use, and the app provides helpful insights into prices, trends, and market changes. I like how everything is organized and easy to understand, even if you’re not a professional reseller. Definitely a great tool for sneaker enthusiasts who wan
  10. [R34] Sneaker Crush 1/5 · US Disappointing: Doesn’t give an accurate account of resell. App not very well maintained.

  12. [R118] Nike SNKRS 1/5 · US Scam: I been using this app for years and every time theres a drop on a nice sneaker i never get it they say Removing bots when you are waiting but i call customer service and the employee told me the have no control about accounts with bots don’t waist you time they are basically selling to resellers and people with bots im deleting this scam out of my phone
  13. [R58] Sneaker Crush 1/5 · US It’s Fake: Every time I went to buy a shoe through retail it took me to eBay. It gives options like footlocker but it doesn’t work and gives an error. eBay is he only place you can buy shoes through this app.

  15. [R69] Nike SNKRS 3/5 · US I’d almost have a better chance of winning the lottery than shoes: If I didn’t need to see what shoes were coming up I would delete this app. I’ve tried countless times to get shoes off this app and the last pair I got was back in 2023. They don’t serve my area. They give no credit to the sneaker heads in Indiana. This app seems to serve best for people in major cities like NYC, LA, and Chicago. I
  16. [R76] Nike SNKRS 1/5 · US Impossible to buy anything.: Do they only make one shoe per drop? The few times Nike makes something cool to buy, they make it impossible to buy. I wait for the drop, buy within seconds, and still lose out to bots. What a lame app.
  17. [R80] Nike SNKRS 5/5 · US I got the shoes I wanted first try: I’m so excited right now
  18. [R63] Nike SNKRS 3/5 · US Difficult Sneakers App: With the glitchy hyped sneaker drops, BOTs that are still thriving, and no exclusive access for accounts that have been with the company 20+ years, I’ve expected more! Need to improve releases, have some kind of release quotas per account so all can experience “Got ‘em” notifications!
  19. [R81] Nike SNKRS 3/5 · US Availability for Releases: Really needs improvement to weed out all the bots.
  20. [R84] Nike SNKRS 3/5 · US Fairness: Need to bring back the fairness on SNKRS app and reward longtime customers/supporters not scalpers
