- [R2] Nike SNKRS Got them: This is the first time I got thru . First pair !!! I’m feeling lucky!!
- [R14] Nike SNKRS Aces: The way this is chosen gives many a better chance to win what they want. And it’s exciting not knowing until chosen.
- [R68] GOAT Love Goat!: Best online sneaker shop!!
- [R64] GOAT Fees too high: You’re charged a sales fee, shipping fee, AND another fee to withdraw your funds! Ridiculous. The process of listing your shoes and having to retake pictures or get a photo of the tag in an impossible location is also frustrating. Not the greatest app to sell.
- [R35] Nike SNKRS Got Em: SNKRS is always dropping great content. The app and interface is user friendly. I enjoy the stories and content.
- [R12] Nike SNKRS App still needs improvements freezes up while trying to process payments on limited drops: .
- [R106] GOAT UI is terrible: So difficult and confusing to add an item to want/own, too complicated for no reason
- [R78] GOAT Hate the new tile UX for items you want/own: Hate the new tile UX for items you want/own. It’s also very buggy, with some tiles/items permanently stuck, unable to remove them. Please fix this bug and go back to the old list UX
- [R3] Nike SNKRS 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!
- [R6] Nike SNKRS Glitches: Too many glitches. I hit on 2 different pairs sneakers the other day and neither went through because of glitches in the system. You guys didn’t even give me another opportunity to purchase.
- [R63] GOAT Reason why I’m rating this a 3.: Hello, I’m rating GOAT a three because of how long it takes to ship to where it’s going. It’s been three weeks and my package still hasn’t moved, nor has it gave me any updates. After I receive my package I will never order from here again. Something positive I must say is that the offers are really really good. That’s all, have a good day or night.
- [R70] GOAT Very disappointing customer service.: I placed an order, but my shipping address was outdated. I contacted customer support immediately to either update the address or cancel the order, but they were unable to help with either request. It has now been over 24 hours, and the only response I keep receiving is that I have to wait until someone has time to contact me, and that I should stop sending em
- [R1] Nike SNKRS Muy bien: Espectacular
- [R4] Nike SNKRS Difficult: Go on asap and still can’t get my size
- [R100] GOAT Fees, Fees, Fees: Fees to sell, fees to withdraw money, fees to look at shoes, fees to pay… I’m over it.
- [R19] Nike SNKRS BS company and app: I might just send all my sneakers back. If I can’t hit in the the good ones, they can have all the bs back to their inventory. Watch me work…
- [R57] Nike SNKRS 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
- [R118] GOAT Trash company that uses AI to screw customers: Do not use this app! No human being could possibly be so disconnected from the average consumer. Their “support” is a joke and will not do ANYTHING to fix their mistakes at all. I was a loyal customer that they treated like garbage and now will use stock-x or any other app that is not this one. Please save yourself the anguish and do the same.
- [R16] Nike SNKRS 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.
