Oct 16, 2020 I love this app with one exception. I am unable to see my history. I see it only when I mobile order and receipt pops up. Along with that an arrow with history next to it. I can click it and see history. It just that i should be able to access it at any time. Not when asking for a tip.more -
Easy tipping
Jul 28, 2020 What I really love about the Starbie’s app is 1) you can leave a tip through the app (which you cannot cannot do with a debit card, and therefore to use a debit card to pay you have to have a side hobby of saving quarters to tip baristas with); and 2) touchless payment. Free coffee now and then from redeeming stars doesn’t hurt either! Related to the tip, here is something I figured out about redeeming stars: if you pay for one transaction all with stars, then there is no way to tip the barista through the app. That’s no fair to the barista! So I usually save my stars until I'm also getting coffee for a friend or two, and pay for all but one drink with stars, and pay $ through the app for the one drink. Then I can still leave a tip through the app to cover all the drinks. Yay! If I dont have friends to share coffee with on any given day, I can always just buy a coffee for the person behind me and thereby still be able to tip through the app. It’s fun!! Personal note: I’m 20+ years sober and can’t have carbs anymore due to diabetes. Thank goodness for espresso with stevia and cream!!! It’s a party I can still enjoy!!! “🎵Life’s simple pleasures are the best! All the little things that make you smile and glow🎵”more -
App update lost some helpful features
Nov 29, 2018 The mobile app is so useful, however, the last update seemed to have gotten rid of some features I found helpful. For one, I don’t like that now when you go Into the history, it no longer shows the date and time of your purchase, so if you need to take a screenshot of your “receipt” it does not include the complete purchase info, which renders it less useful. It shows a receipt number, which is not useful to me, and it is inconvenient to have to screenshot both the history list AND the purchase itself. Why did you get rid of this? Why fix what wasn’t broken? Also, you have removed the date info for the Starbucks cards. It was helpful to have the info on the start dates of my cards to differentiate the cards, especially the similar ones. It used to have that info before. It also is frustrating when the app does not let you choose the store you want and sometimes suggests some faraway store. It would be helpful if it also told you reasons why you are unable to use the app - ie, store shut off mobile orders, store is closing, etc. Otherwise, you think it’s your phone or app and you waste a lot of time. I also would like that the app kept the history details for the “free” items, because just because it’s free, doesn’t mean you don’t want to record WHAT you had. But, for the most part, I like using the app.more -
Love the app but most stores are slow to make your mobile order!
Dec 13, 2017 The app is almost perfect. I wish you can customize the mobile orders a little more like put someone else’s name on it when you order for someone else. But that’s not my big gripe and why it only gets 3 stars. There are two reasons. First of all, one less start is due to store locater being slow half the time unless it happens to be your store that you note as a favorite. The 2nd reason, and it’s a big reason, is that most stores are now very slow to process your mobile order. I can expect 5-10 more minutes on top of what they estimate for you. A lot of them just say they have many drinks. Well the system should have factored that in. If you give estimated times then factor in how many drinks just got into the system. I do think many stores just don’t pay attention to the mobile orders as much. I literally see them pull the labels out for those who are at the stores ordering and let the other machine that has the mobile order sit there longer. Starbucks: If you want more people to use mobile order then have your baristas pay attention to the mobile order labels being printed. Those are your most loyal customers and don’t want to wait 10-15 minutes for their drink to be made. It defeats the whole purpose of having mobile orders!more -
Amazing And Easy
Sep 20, 2020 I order on here very often and have for most of the Summer and it is so easy. You just order from the app and then pick up at the Starbucks near you. You don’t have to wait in line to order and instead get a separate line which moves quickly because everyone is picking up. I absolutely love Starbucks and I am obsessed with their refreshers and frappucinos. Overall, the app was well thought out and if something isn’t available I’ve learned all you do is call the store and ask if they have it and they’ll make it available on the app quick. I love the experience and the stars you earn. I end up having enough stars for a breakfast from the bakery the next time I get Starbucks. Thank you for doing such an amazing job and I plan on continuing to go to Starbucks in the future. Please don’t hate on the app. I haven’t had a bad experience and I’m convinced most of you are trolls. I hope this gets to Starbucks customer service because I truly do love the app and Starbucks as a whole. I can’t thank you enough for the quick and easy drinks almost every morning this past Summer!!! Five stars and absolutely amazing!!!more

Oct 15, 2020 I've been trying to use a birthday reward and the cashiers keep taking my stars. I thought I wasn't clear the first time I tried to use it and made sure to be very specific on the second attempt at redeeming it and it still happened. I had to reach out 4 times to resolve the issue. Something is not set up right with this system for it to be so complicated to use a birthday reward.more -
Oct 16, 2020 When using the curbside pickup option instead of it taking you to the site to choose where you are parked a screen pops up saying something went wrong on their end and we have to walk in. Further more we stopped getting that our drinks are ready notice as well like we use to two weeks ago.more -
Oct 16, 2020 The biggest issue I have with the app is customizing my drink. It only has generic options. Part of going to Starbucks is because they have options! The reason many use the app is to avoid long lines at the drive thru since most of the stores are close to the public.more -
Needs more options like unsweetened and sugar free
May 6, 2018 I wish I could like the app more. It’s great that everyone at the office can place their order and then one person pick it up. The issue is that in this day and age with so many people being diabetic and others doing Keto you sugar free or unsweetened options are severely lacking. For example chai tea has no sugars or carbs naturally. The chai “syrup” that is used in the chai drinks and fraps does. There needs to be an unsweetened option or an option in the app to have tea bags used instead. The same goes for the coconut milk and almond milk. There needs to be unsweetened options in the app. My office use to do Starbucks runs multiple times a week but we don’t anymore because too many people can’t place an order online through the app as sugar free, unsweetened, and Keto options are not readily available. If they want a chai latte they have to go in to order it and asked for it to be made with tea bags. Also need a way to report that the drink you ordered online, and picked up is wrong. This is another reason we stopped our Starbucks runs is that one person would pick up the orders for everyone and not know if something was wrong. I ordered a pink drink but what I got didn’t have any coconut milk in it. I took a picture of the drink, label, and order to prove it but couldn’t do anything about it while I was at work.more -
Oct 14, 2020 Just downloaded yesterday and it keeps crashing! I was able to sign up, and then after restarting several times I was able to load some money onto the digital gift card. But today I can't get the app to do anything at all! It feels like a scam. That gift card money was basically stolen from me, since I can't use the app. I'm using a galaxy note 8, so there shouldn't be compstibility issues.more

Needs Update after Removing Clover®️ Machines
May 20, 2020 Update ✭ ✭ ✭ : Originally gave 5-stars but there needs to be an option to order pour-overs specifically. Since all remaining stores removed Clover machines, whenever I order my Featured Dark roast with shots after 11 am, 70% of the time, baristas don’t know that they need to do a pour-over. So I get there and they say they used pre-brewed Pikes or bitter medium roast from the container and I just spent a whopping $8 - $12 (dep on # of xtra shots) on a coffee I DIDN’T ORDER and they have to dump it and remake it as a pour-over, wasting their time, my time, coffee, etc. So please, there used to be an option to order, let’s say, Verona using the Clover®️ and I could add everything I wanted. But Clover’s are all gone now. So just replace that feature with us being able to select the roast we want as a pour-over so the baristas don’t get confused. It’s such a waste of time. Original Review ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭ Very close to perfect app for my coffee habit. Love ordering ahead or even in the store ordering from app. I feel like there were one or two things I would have suggested changing or adding but I can’t think of it right now :)more -
Starbucks is my treat to myself!
Dec 1, 2017 I enjoy a Trente sized Green Iced Tea. I don’t have any pumps of sweetener and no water. I try to get the maximum benefits of the undiluted Green Tea for weight loss and anti-oxidants. I am a Gold member and drink my first Green Tea at the store. Then I take advantage of the free refill to enjoy the rest of the day!! The Starbucks employees are so friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your meals are just right. I love the new turkey sandwich for the Thanksgiving and holiday timeframe. It even has cranberries and some stuffing inside! Totally delicious!! I have tried almost all of the breakfast (anytime) sandwiches and their other warmed sandwich variety. Just had a grilled cheese sandwich after visiting a store that was sold out of every other warm sandwich. To say the least, I was craving a few of my favorites, but the grilled cheese was very tasty and loaded with cheese!! I am not a big coffee drinker. However, that goes to show you that Starbucks is not just about coffee flavored beverages!! Download the Starbucks app and join the rewards program. The benefits are more than worth it by earning free beverages, food or their out of this world desserts!!more -
Update fixed nothing
Jul 24, 2018 I had high hopes that Starbucks would fix their mistakes when this update came out, but I was disappointed. The layout is still horrible. I dislike that the photos of items are huge, but the area you have to touch to choose an item is tiny. Then, when you touch it, there is a significant lag, where you can’t tell if the item is added, and the only indication is a tiny number on the bottom right. To add a second item you have to notice the tiny x at the top right and touch it. Then there are too many redundant acknowledgements when ordering. One out of ever four times I mobile order, I end up waiting a long time and finally asking about my order, only to find out the long pause before the final acknowledgement combined with the fact the final ack button is a black bar at the bottom, causes me to fail to order. Really, agreeing to pay should be the last thing I have to do. The app even has my GPS location so it knows I went to the store and waited 12 mins while it refused to send in my order because it is afraid I might go to the wrong store.more

Works great on iPhone but not on Apple Watch
Dec 30, 2017 The app is exceptional at what it advertises to do. I’ve been using it for years and it doesn’t give issues often, at least not often enough to remember. The watch counterpart needs a lot of work though and it saddens me because I like what the Watch app is setting out to do. The problem is the Watch doesn’t accurately update its information regarding your balance in your card or you star total on your rewards. It appears to rely on your phone to do that, so you need to open your phone app to have the Watch refresh and update its info—which defeats the purpose of the Watch! If that wasn’t bad enough, it’s bloody slow at updating as well which makes the experience more cumbersome. Overall, I love the idea of the Watch being able to do everything, from paying with it, to updating its information, reloading from right there, to even having the complication in your watch face to see how your rewards are doing and your balance. I’m still giving it four stars because the iPhone version works great and for most that’s enough but it’s still sad that the other version seems to be ignored from the devs.more -
Starbucks app and rewards program .
Sep 4, 2017 I love the app for most part but it gets frozen or does not always update the purchase at times. Bonus reward is great for most part, only I feel I don't get offers based on my purchase but they want to sell. I have never received any offers to purchase teavana teas which is what I buy most often . I also buy other beverages such as latte, cappuccinos and frappes. I have not gotten any offers for that also . I don't like the fact some offer are time constraint related especially if it before 11am or between 11am to 2 pm. Due to work not possible to get starsbucks between that time or even stop over at one in morning if running late. Also they keep sending me the same offers over and over again of which I don't care of which combo of warm sandwich , protein box and a breakfast sandwich. If I don't use a offer , I don't receive a offer next week so I don't get bonus stars for two weeks. I love to receive the offers based on what I buy , bakery items only offers, teavana teas only offers and breakfast sandwichs only offer and also any purchase offers are good too. I can also deal with any bevearage purchase offers also.more -
Recent woes with the app
Sep 20, 2017 Starting with the positive, I love the rewards program and the free item notification visible when I open the app. I love mobile ordering and the ability to identify the closest location when I'm ready to submit an order. The woes begin here. Recently I attempt to put in a mobile order and get a message that the store I have selected is out of stock on the items I have chosen so I walk in and order the exact items it said were not available at that store. Today I got a message that this store could not accept mobile orders and walked in to ask why and they said they had been getting them even in the prior few minutes but many people complain about the mobile ordering not working right. Then it looks fine but when I get to the register and click on the pay button it just sits there. I have money on the app but cannot access it and have to return to my car for cash. So frustrated with the app right now. Further, if you want any customization to the order it is definitely not easy or intuitive. Keep working at it developers. We love the concept but the experience leaves something to be desired.more -
Love the app, but tired of all my fave drinks being taken away!!
Jul 21, 2020 Love the app and the service for the most part is outstanding!! Just wonder how much longer I’m going to use the app, or go to Starbucks at all?! We used to visit Starbucks on a daily basis, now it’s maybe once a week, and sometimes not at all, and that’s just because my favorite drinks keep getting taken away!!!! It started a couple of summers ago with the cool lime refresher, which was my family’s year round all time favorite drink!! We tried to find another refresher, but none compared!!! There wasn’t another drink even close!! We switched to the hot citrus defender tea, and it’s gone!! We finally settled on white tea lemonade, and now that’s gone too??!! What gives?! What’s more basic than white tea?! We’re running out of things to drink!!! PLEASE bring back just ONE of our favorites!!! There are plenty of over sweet fruity drinks, cold drinks laden with coconut milk, but nothing anymore that’s just light and refreshing-cool lime, white tea lemonade. . . I can’t believe we are the only ones that crave something a little simpler and lighter. . .just tired of going and paying high prices for drinks I don’t really like. . .more

Oct 12, 2020 I wish there was space for us to add notes for our mobile orders, it would make the Baristas job easier too. Plus I have really been disappointed with your Starbucks games. I used to win stars and individual drinks all the time, but for the last two games, I barely won any stars or any other prizes. We also had ton of ways to get extra plays; i.e daily challenges, weekly challenges and such that would give you extra entries on top of your purchased entries. Now its just bland and not worth it.more -
Reloading the Card Needs to be Optional
May 3, 2019 I would actually choose Starbucks so much more frequently if I was able to pay the total amount of my order instead of having to reload a minimum of $10 every time I order. Which I didn’t even know it was $10, I thought it was $15 because the lowest minimum of $10 isn’t the prompted amount. I want to be able to pay my order total- not give you my money like an ATM at a bank so you can use it at your free will until or if I ever order again. There’s no reason we should not be able to do pay as you go! Every Starbucks near my house and my job are high volume. I have to order on the app to ensure I won’t be late- regardless of how early or how much time I have. Wait time estimations are unreliable, using the app is so much faster and easier, however, I very rarely do because of the lack of pay as you go feature. I almost always choose competitors such as local shops, convenience stores, or Dunkin Donuts because I know I can be in and out of these places, unlike Starbucks. Ive ordered in Starbucks and waited on average 10 mins every time and that doesn’t even include the very busy days. You are taking away an added convenience and because of it losing potential sales!more -
Oct 13, 2020 I love the convenience of the app, but it's a pain in the ass that you can't select what kind of coffee you want. Stores default to the Pike and I don't like it; I prefer dark roast or blonde! But there's no way to specify that when you order through the app.more

NEEDS UPDATES
Mar 25, 2018 I’ve been using the Starbucks app going on 4 years now. The app is showing some major glitches as of late. Twice in the past two weeks have I not received my mobile order because the app randomly “auto selects” a different option and then even after I reselect the correct option it will then for a second time reselect the WRONG option. Unaware of this I don’t notice and as a result don’t receive my order. Per example it continually selects an old store I haven’t ordered from in months, I will change it to my current store and again without me noticing it will auto select the previous store. I then find out when I get to the correct store and my order wasn’t placed. Today the app “auto selected” an old seasonal gift card rather than my gold card that I use daily to order with. It showed the picture of my gold card when I placed my order but the last four numbers were different, the picture just hadn’t changed. So when I arrived to pick up my order I open the app to see it yet again had not placed my order. The Starbucks store teams and customer service are always gracious and fix the issue which I greatly appreciate! However this is unacceptable that the Mobile App can not deliver the same results and continually cause failed orders.more -
Pretty good, however...
Dec 1, 2018 Pretty good app overall however these past few days I am not able to see my gold account star count at all and rewards accrued anymore for some reason and I’ve been all over the app to try to find it. Already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but no luck. Once this if fixed I will gladly change my star rating. Also another quick suggestion would be, as of late in my case (and I’m sure I’m not the only one), I’ve noticed that stores sell out of certain items faster so when you mobile order something sometimes you get to the store to pick up and they’re out and most of the time they don’t even ask you what else more you may want until you ask them about it. Yes, I get most stores are insanely packed and baristas are overwhelmed but to avoid this issue and also help the barista then perhaps the app should give you an alternate food option in case what you ordered food wise sells out during the mobile order process so then that way the barista doesn’t have to wait until you arrive for your order to ask you what else you may want and try to keep track of something like that while customers keep rolling in, again just a friendly suggestion.more

Oct 15, 2020 I've been trying to use a birthday reward and the cashiers keep taking my stars. I thought I wasn't clear the first time I tried to use it and made sure to be very specific on the second attempt at redeeming it and it still happened. I had to reach out 4 times to resolve the issue. Something is not set up right with this system for it to be so complicated to use a birthday reward.more -
Oct 16, 2020 When using the curbside pickup option instead of it taking you to the site to choose where you are parked a screen pops up saying something went wrong on their end and we have to walk in. Further more we stopped getting that our drinks are ready notice as well like we use to two weeks ago.more -
Oct 16, 2020 The biggest issue I have with the app is customizing my drink. It only has generic options. Part of going to Starbucks is because they have options! The reason many use the app is to avoid long lines at the drive thru since most of the stores are close to the public.more -
Oct 14, 2020 Just downloaded yesterday and it keeps crashing! I was able to sign up, and then after restarting several times I was able to load some money onto the digital gift card. But today I can't get the app to do anything at all! It feels like a scam. That gift card money was basically stolen from me, since I can't use the app. I'm using a galaxy note 8, so there shouldn't be compstibility issues.more -
Very lame app and poor costumer service over the phone
Jan 18, 2020 About two weeks ago ,I tried to create an account to enjoy the rewards ,well, its imposible. Why? I created ,then signing in ,nothing happen . Just ‘we’re sorry but we’re unable to log you in ,please try again’ . I got help over the line ,the agent was nice ,but even when he finally could create a password with my e-mail ,he never want to give it to me . Then , ill wait 24 hrs because they’re a system ‘has a problem’ okay ,let’s wait . 24 hrs goes by ,but no success trying the app or the website . A gentleman send me a gift card with 7 dollars (THANKS STARBUCKS) . Waiting the week to get the card ,registered online and enjoy the rewards ,everything that I mention before ,happens again. Is such a lame software at the website or app ,trying with iPhone 8 or galaxy s edge ,is the same . Creating another account with new e-mail ,the same . Is amazing how a company like Starbucks ,has a very poor app and nobody can tell you what’s going on . If people or companies create a platform who let costumers enjoy programs ,they should to give it maintenance. Worst is the people over the phone who doesn’t know about the website or the app. They won’t reset your account and you need to wait 24 hrs . Starbucks should have a kiosk like McDonald’s and make his service faster and easy. The app is a failure system along with the website ,PERIOD.more
What’s Groovy
Starbucks overall is a great place and I give it 5 stars but this review is totally different it’s about their app specifically the summer sweepstakes game they are hosting currently. If I could I would change my review to a complaint/concern.
So the most recent summer sweepstakes game where it looks kind of like a little pinball machine is totally rigged I saved up 15+ plays and every single time no matter when I pressed the button the little ball always went to the left side (so even when I would press the button when the ball was supposed to shoot off to the right side the game would almost suspiciously slow down/glitch and would make the ball start drifting to the left it was really weird) and it would drop down and make me lose every single time so I must either have really horrible luck or the game is rigged. I mean yeah it’s just a game and getting free stuff is awesome but it’s not actually free. You have to pay and order food & drinks in order to get (1) play and I saved up a lot in a short amount of time and they all went to waste because of “luck” which I don’t think was actually bad luck because of how the ball suspiciously veered off to the left no matter what. Don’t waste your time with the game just drink starbucks drinks because they’re yummy lol.

What’s Subpar
This app has always been glitchy after updates but this one was the worst. It stopped letting me reload my card so I logged out with the intent to log back in and try again and I've been locked out ever since. It keeps saying wrong password. I've changed it 5 times with no solutions! I've uninstalled, installed, even tried desktop but nothing works. Do you even want customers anymore?

I love this app with one exception. I am unable to see my history. I see it only when I mobile order and receipt pops up. Along with that an arrow with history next to it. I can click it and see history. It just that i should be able to access it at any time. Not when asking for a tip.

Easy tipping
What I really love about the Starbie’s app is 1) you can leave a tip through the app (which you cannot cannot do with a debit card, and therefore to use a debit card to pay you have to have a side hobby of saving quarters to tip baristas with); and 2) touchless payment. Free coffee now and then from redeeming stars doesn’t hurt either! Related to the tip, here is something I figured out about redeeming stars: if you pay for one transaction all with stars, then there is no way to tip the barista through the app. That’s no fair to the barista! So I usually save my stars until I'm also getting coffee for a friend or two, and pay for all but one drink with stars, and pay $ through the app for the one drink. Then I can still leave a tip through the app to cover all the drinks. Yay! If I dont have friends to share coffee with on any given day, I can always just buy a coffee for the person behind me and thereby still be able to tip through the app. It’s fun!! Personal note: I’m 20+ years sober and can’t have carbs anymore due to diabetes. Thank goodness for espresso with stevia and cream!!! It’s a party I can still enjoy!!! “🎵Life’s simple pleasures are the best! All the little things that make you smile and glow🎵” -
App update lost some helpful features
The mobile app is so useful, however, the last update seemed to have gotten rid of some features I found helpful. For one, I don’t like that now when you go Into the history, it no longer shows the date and time of your purchase, so if you need to take a screenshot of your “receipt” it does not include the complete purchase info, which renders it less useful. It shows a receipt number, which is not useful to me, and it is inconvenient to have to screenshot both the history list AND the purchase itself. Why did you get rid of this? Why fix what wasn’t broken? Also, you have removed the date info for the Starbucks cards. It was helpful to have the info on the start dates of my cards to differentiate the cards, especially the similar ones. It used to have that info before. It also is frustrating when the app does not let you choose the store you want and sometimes suggests some faraway store. It would be helpful if it also told you reasons why you are unable to use the app - ie, store shut off mobile orders, store is closing, etc. Otherwise, you think it’s your phone or app and you waste a lot of time. I also would like that the app kept the history details for the “free” items, because just because it’s free, doesn’t mean you don’t want to record WHAT you had. But, for the most part, I like using the app. -
Love the app but most stores are slow to make your mobile order!
The app is almost perfect. I wish you can customize the mobile orders a little more like put someone else’s name on it when you order for someone else. But that’s not my big gripe and why it only gets 3 stars. There are two reasons. First of all, one less start is due to store locater being slow half the time unless it happens to be your store that you note as a favorite. The 2nd reason, and it’s a big reason, is that most stores are now very slow to process your mobile order. I can expect 5-10 more minutes on top of what they estimate for you. A lot of them just say they have many drinks. Well the system should have factored that in. If you give estimated times then factor in how many drinks just got into the system. I do think many stores just don’t pay attention to the mobile orders as much. I literally see them pull the labels out for those who are at the stores ordering and let the other machine that has the mobile order sit there longer. Starbucks: If you want more people to use mobile order then have your baristas pay attention to the mobile order labels being printed. Those are your most loyal customers and don’t want to wait 10-15 minutes for their drink to be made. It defeats the whole purpose of having mobile orders! -
Amazing And Easy
I order on here very often and have for most of the Summer and it is so easy. You just order from the app and then pick up at the Starbucks near you. You don’t have to wait in line to order and instead get a separate line which moves quickly because everyone is picking up. I absolutely love Starbucks and I am obsessed with their refreshers and frappucinos. Overall, the app was well thought out and if something isn’t available I’ve learned all you do is call the store and ask if they have it and they’ll make it available on the app quick. I love the experience and the stars you earn. I end up having enough stars for a breakfast from the bakery the next time I get Starbucks. Thank you for doing such an amazing job and I plan on continuing to go to Starbucks in the future. Please don’t hate on the app. I haven’t had a bad experience and I’m convinced most of you are trolls. I hope this gets to Starbucks customer service because I truly do love the app and Starbucks as a whole. I can’t thank you enough for the quick and easy drinks almost every morning this past Summer!!! Five stars and absolutely amazing!!! -
I wish there was space for us to add notes for our mobile orders, it would make the Baristas job easier too. Plus I have really been disappointed with your Starbucks games. I used to win stars and individual drinks all the time, but for the last two games, I barely won any stars or any other prizes. We also had ton of ways to get extra plays; i.e daily challenges, weekly challenges and such that would give you extra entries on top of your purchased entries. Now its just bland and not worth it.

Needs Update after Removing Clover®️ Machines
Update ✭ ✭ ✭ : Originally gave 5-stars but there needs to be an option to order pour-overs specifically. Since all remaining stores removed Clover machines, whenever I order my Featured Dark roast with shots after 11 am, 70% of the time, baristas don’t know that they need to do a pour-over. So I get there and they say they used pre-brewed Pikes or bitter medium roast from the container and I just spent a whopping $8 - $12 (dep on # of xtra shots) on a coffee I DIDN’T ORDER and they have to dump it and remake it as a pour-over, wasting their time, my time, coffee, etc. So please, there used to be an option to order, let’s say, Verona using the Clover®️ and I could add everything I wanted. But Clover’s are all gone now. So just replace that feature with us being able to select the roast we want as a pour-over so the baristas don’t get confused. It’s such a waste of time. Original Review ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭ ✭ Very close to perfect app for my coffee habit. Love ordering ahead or even in the store ordering from app. I feel like there were one or two things I would have suggested changing or adding but I can’t think of it right now :) -
Reloading the Card Needs to be Optional
I would actually choose Starbucks so much more frequently if I was able to pay the total amount of my order instead of having to reload a minimum of $10 every time I order. Which I didn’t even know it was $10, I thought it was $15 because the lowest minimum of $10 isn’t the prompted amount. I want to be able to pay my order total- not give you my money like an ATM at a bank so you can use it at your free will until or if I ever order again. There’s no reason we should not be able to do pay as you go! Every Starbucks near my house and my job are high volume. I have to order on the app to ensure I won’t be late- regardless of how early or how much time I have. Wait time estimations are unreliable, using the app is so much faster and easier, however, I very rarely do because of the lack of pay as you go feature. I almost always choose competitors such as local shops, convenience stores, or Dunkin Donuts because I know I can be in and out of these places, unlike Starbucks. Ive ordered in Starbucks and waited on average 10 mins every time and that doesn’t even include the very busy days. You are taking away an added convenience and because of it losing potential sales! -
Starbucks is my treat to myself!
I enjoy a Trente sized Green Iced Tea. I don’t have any pumps of sweetener and no water. I try to get the maximum benefits of the undiluted Green Tea for weight loss and anti-oxidants. I am a Gold member and drink my first Green Tea at the store. Then I take advantage of the free refill to enjoy the rest of the day!! The Starbucks employees are so friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your meals are just right. I love the new turkey sandwich for the Thanksgiving and holiday timeframe. It even has cranberries and some stuffing inside! Totally delicious!! I have tried almost all of the breakfast (anytime) sandwiches and their other warmed sandwich variety. Just had a grilled cheese sandwich after visiting a store that was sold out of every other warm sandwich. To say the least, I was craving a few of my favorites, but the grilled cheese was very tasty and loaded with cheese!! I am not a big coffee drinker. However, that goes to show you that Starbucks is not just about coffee flavored beverages!! Download the Starbucks app and join the rewards program. The benefits are more than worth it by earning free beverages, food or their out of this world desserts!! -
Works great on iPhone but not on Apple Watch
The app is exceptional at what it advertises to do. I’ve been using it for years and it doesn’t give issues often, at least not often enough to remember. The watch counterpart needs a lot of work though and it saddens me because I like what the Watch app is setting out to do. The problem is the Watch doesn’t accurately update its information regarding your balance in your card or you star total on your rewards. It appears to rely on your phone to do that, so you need to open your phone app to have the Watch refresh and update its info—which defeats the purpose of the Watch! If that wasn’t bad enough, it’s bloody slow at updating as well which makes the experience more cumbersome. Overall, I love the idea of the Watch being able to do everything, from paying with it, to updating its information, reloading from right there, to even having the complication in your watch face to see how your rewards are doing and your balance. I’m still giving it four stars because the iPhone version works great and for most that’s enough but it’s still sad that the other version seems to be ignored from the devs.

im still learning how to use this app

Delicious

Most of the baristas know my name n coffee is nice n hot thank u

I like the rewards that you get with the Starbucks app, I also like the ease of ordering when using the app. What I don't like, is that you are not able to cancel or transfer your order to the another store after you have completed payment. Even the new store or the old store are on able to cancel the order since it's completed on the app.

Enjoying the app!
-
Great rewards..
-
Love that you can order before you get there. The only thing they need to allow cups of ice water or also other space for notes.
-
I still use the old version 5.22. very stable. So I don't want to upgrade to a new version, because every new version upgrade doesn't run very well.

Love it

Friendly service and great coffee..and throw in some deals - win win😉

Update fixed nothing
I had high hopes that Starbucks would fix their mistakes when this update came out, but I was disappointed. The layout is still horrible. I dislike that the photos of items are huge, but the area you have to touch to choose an item is tiny. Then, when you touch it, there is a significant lag, where you can’t tell if the item is added, and the only indication is a tiny number on the bottom right. To add a second item you have to notice the tiny x at the top right and touch it. Then there are too many redundant acknowledgements when ordering. One out of ever four times I mobile order, I end up waiting a long time and finally asking about my order, only to find out the long pause before the final acknowledgement combined with the fact the final ack button is a black bar at the bottom, causes me to fail to order. Really, agreeing to pay should be the last thing I have to do. The app even has my GPS location so it knows I went to the store and waited 12 mins while it refused to send in my order because it is afraid I might go to the wrong store. -
Almost great!
What I loooove about the Starbucks app is that you can put in an order and the store will start preparing it so that it’s ready when you arrive! No checking in from 100 feet away etc and then waiting around almost as long as if you had just ordered in person (looking at you McDonald’s). But what the app needs is a map that is clickable versus a list of stores close-by. (Yes there is a map but it doesn’t do anything). About 20% of the time it can’t find my store, sometimes the store I want won’t even show up on that un-clickable map. Plus there are so many Starbucks in some areas that it’s easy to pick the wrong one from the list. It’s a little infuriating scrolling to find the right store while sitting at a stop light, then the next stop light, then the next stop light, and oh -I’m already at the store (and no you should not app and drive, but most of us need to get to work on time let’s be real here). Maybe at least create a favorites list that includes up to 5 stores at a glance? That would be extremely helpful. -
Suggestion
Hello! I love your stores, your products, and your app. I am dieting and trying to count calories. I have searched the web , your website, the app, and MyFitnessPal for different drink orders that I have tried from Starbucks. Although there is a lot of variety I sometimes cannot find the correct drink to calculate the nutrition info, I feel like the most convenient and practical location for this information would be the starbucks app. When I change the syrups and milks in the app it only has the standardized nutrition info. The app does not change the nutrition info with the syrup/milk preferences. If you could get the app to change the nutrition info based on the selections made it would be very helpful in determining the best choice options in my diet. I currently go to Starbucks at least one time a week- sometimes as often as four times a week so this is a frequent issue for me. It probably seems very small, but I would think others wanting to make healthy choices would also want this info. -
APP LACKS CUSTOMIZATION
The app lacks a lot in Customization of drinks. Because my husband is doing Keto and is Diabetic, he needs to avoid Sugar and Milk. He would like to order a Hot Chocolate made primarily with Water & an extra splash of Heavy Cream, and Skinny Mocha Syrup. He can customize with several kinds of Milks, but there is no place to have it mostly made with Water with a extra splash of Heavy Cream. Even though Water is not Milk, couldn’t you add water into that section, so he can make this drink fit Keto? Also, it would be nice to be able to order a Cold Chocolate with ice, Water, extra splash of Heavy Cream, and Mocha, but there is no way to do that either. You recently discontinued the Skinny Mocha Syrup, which worked much better with Keto and Diabetes than your regular sugared Mocha Syrup. Please, consider putting this back on the menu. Also, since Pumpkin Spice is so popular, it would be nice to have a sugar free Pumpkin Spice syrup option. Please don’t forget about your Diabetic customers who need to avoid sugar, and your Keto customers who want to avoid milk. -
Everything Starbucks 🌟
What can I say? I love me some Starbucks to the max! I was never much on standard American brewed coffee hot coffee no matter how much cream, (never sugared yuck). My mom taught me the difference between good brewed coffee starting with the bean & it’s possible flavors so now I “get it” & occasionally enjoy a great cup of good coffee still cream only & black if it’s really good. (It’s better paired with a pastry that way). Anyway since Starbucks came to Cali finally... boy has my love for coffee improved❣️WOW 🥰 Their recipes are en pointe! I love espresso to the max now & try to mimic them at home but not always with the same results. I love Starbucks as a company for their history, high standards, baristas, quality products, fair trade ethics, ideas, foods, cozy stores, music, atmosphere... everything❣️occasionally there’s that 1 careless inattentive order taker or barista that doesn’t follow the recipe or protocol which I call them on cause they can cause the company reputation to falter & it’s not me to pay high dollar for a beverage especially unless it’s that good!!! -
Starbucks member for 6 years
I have had a Starbucks rewards card since 2012. I am an avid coffee drinker and personally love all the different selections and options and how every store can have its own theme. During the summer of 2016 i visited a Starbucks in Newnan, Ga and they had a chalk drawing of the flat globe and the coffee that starbucks imported south the equator from all over the world and it was so beautiful to see the description of all the countries that this business GIVES business and opportunities to. The app is easy and the constant up to date features makes getting your caffeine fix pain free and enjoyable. You can reload manually or have it auto reloaded. You can pay with your app ahead of time. You can get notifications of new drinks new ways to earn stars. Not to mention the perks of the be a gold card member and app holder is first dibs in line when you order with the app and free birthday drinks. Constant opportunities to get millions of stars and the app have fun games sometimes. so don’t hesitate !

Starbucks app and rewards program .
I love the app for most part but it gets frozen or does not always update the purchase at times. Bonus reward is great for most part, only I feel I don't get offers based on my purchase but they want to sell. I have never received any offers to purchase teavana teas which is what I buy most often . I also buy other beverages such as latte, cappuccinos and frappes. I have not gotten any offers for that also . I don't like the fact some offer are time constraint related especially if it before 11am or between 11am to 2 pm. Due to work not possible to get starsbucks between that time or even stop over at one in morning if running late. Also they keep sending me the same offers over and over again of which I don't care of which combo of warm sandwich , protein box and a breakfast sandwich. If I don't use a offer , I don't receive a offer next week so I don't get bonus stars for two weeks. I love to receive the offers based on what I buy , bakery items only offers, teavana teas only offers and breakfast sandwichs only offer and also any purchase offers are good too. I can also deal with any bevearage purchase offers also. -
Recent woes with the app
Starting with the positive, I love the rewards program and the free item notification visible when I open the app. I love mobile ordering and the ability to identify the closest location when I'm ready to submit an order. The woes begin here. Recently I attempt to put in a mobile order and get a message that the store I have selected is out of stock on the items I have chosen so I walk in and order the exact items it said were not available at that store. Today I got a message that this store could not accept mobile orders and walked in to ask why and they said they had been getting them even in the prior few minutes but many people complain about the mobile ordering not working right. Then it looks fine but when I get to the register and click on the pay button it just sits there. I have money on the app but cannot access it and have to return to my car for cash. So frustrated with the app right now. Further, if you want any customization to the order it is definitely not easy or intuitive. Keep working at it developers. We love the concept but the experience leaves something to be desired. -
Love the app, but tired of all my fave drinks being taken away!!
Love the app and the service for the most part is outstanding!! Just wonder how much longer I’m going to use the app, or go to Starbucks at all?! We used to visit Starbucks on a daily basis, now it’s maybe once a week, and sometimes not at all, and that’s just because my favorite drinks keep getting taken away!!!! It started a couple of summers ago with the cool lime refresher, which was my family’s year round all time favorite drink!! We tried to find another refresher, but none compared!!! There wasn’t another drink even close!! We switched to the hot citrus defender tea, and it’s gone!! We finally settled on white tea lemonade, and now that’s gone too??!! What gives?! What’s more basic than white tea?! We’re running out of things to drink!!! PLEASE bring back just ONE of our favorites!!! There are plenty of over sweet fruity drinks, cold drinks laden with coconut milk, but nothing anymore that’s just light and refreshing-cool lime, white tea lemonade. . . I can’t believe we are the only ones that crave something a little simpler and lighter. . .just tired of going and paying high prices for drinks I don’t really like. . . -
Super convenient app, just have some suggestions
Love this app but I have suggestions to change for the better. 1) When loading multiple gift cards, the amount doesn’t go into a “pool” of what you have on your account already. Pretty annoying honestly cuz there was a point where I had a dollar on one, 12 cents on another, and then money loaded already on my account. Had to scan 3 times because of this. Not a major inconvenience but I just feel like this could be betters. 2) Along the lines of that same issue, now I can’t edit those gift cards that I’ve used up to delete them so I have about 8 cards with no money on them. Once again just an annoyance I have since I use this app all the time. 3) Ya’ll took away the week to use the reward for your birthday down to 24 hrs. Also you have limited to being able to use any rewards to Starbucks specified locations. I use the Starbucks that happens to be at the Marriott in SLC since it’s right next to my school. Would be way nice if I could claim my rewards at that location since I spend majority of my money there and happens to be my most convenient location. -
Removed drive-through symbol on map for stores.
When they forced the update on this app, all the stores that had a drive-through now no longer have the car symbol to indicate it has a drive-through. You must now while driving, tap filter, tap drive-through, tap show stores before it will show you only the stores that have drive-through‘s. They took a fully functioning app and made it into a “I’m going to get into a car accident “app. They also made it so that it shows you all your previous stores while looking at the map. No matter how far away those stores are. How about showing me the closest stores since that’s where I’m located. If you want to see the closest stores, you have to scroll at which point the map is no longer visible. They took a fully functioning app and managed to completely screw up the user interface to make it where I would rather just pull into any other coffee shop I see with a drive-through rather than find a Starbucks. This has to be one of the dumbest updates to an app I have ever seen. They basically make it so you cannot find stores. -
Being Back Tipping Feature!
I absolutely love the ease of using an app on my phone to pay for my daily coffee(s) - as well as earn points for future “free” coffees! Awesome. Would give this app 5 stars, but was frustrated when your recent update (within the last few months) took away the feature to be able to leave my tip...I asked every barista each time I went through, I researched it online - like for way too long - and NO one knew how to get the tipping option to come up. I just inadvertently discovered HOW TO TIP!! You have to exit out of the card you have them scan (going back to the home page), then click on your “History” (??? Why???) and once you’re there you will see allll of your past transactions. The transaction at the top is the CURRENT transaction and it says “Would you like to leave a tip?” and gives you the dollar amount options to select and then your transaction price goes up by however much you tipped! Yayyy. Tip your servers/baristas : ) and Starbucks, make it easier for app users that rarely have singles in their wallet! -
Rewards system
I love the app, it is convenient however, the rewards are cost effective from a business stance but unfortunate for the consumers. With the old rewards star system we as the consumer would be rewarded after the 12th drink which was gratifying, but now we have to purchase much more to receive a free drink! I understand from a business prospective it is overall cost effective and money saving to have the new reward stars system in place therefore it has made me not want to purchase my daily coffees from Starbucks as frequently. There are so many smaller retail coffee shops now that one can choose from that truly appreciate their clients and maintain a greater rewards system in place which makes one feel valued and appreciated. Understanding that we have choices with coffees that are extremely comparable to Starbucks have truly made me steer away from visiting and purchasing my daily coffees at Starbucks and supporting my local and small business coffee shops. Again, I love this app, love Starbucks but I wish you could bring back the old rewards system!! -
Slow Data
Don’t know if you can fix this, but I live in a spot with patches of slow data, and often I have to wait a while for the app to register the menu items, my favorites, previous orders, and associates what’s available with what’s at the local stores. Often times the app defaults to Not available for food items until all the data for that store finally loads up. But that’s another issue. The main issue is that I have had many instances where the text will say, Iced Tea, but the picture associated with that text is a chocolate croissant, or some other item. It takes a while for this problem to correct itself, and if I get impatient and reload the app, I have to wait all over again. I often order by picture as opposed to the text. It’s just easier for my brain to register the image than read the words. My bad I know, but can you fix it so that the image just won’t load until it’s certain the text and image match? I’ve often miss ordered items because I was in a hurry and the App did not finish loading.

App update lost some helpful features
The mobile app is so useful, however, the last update seemed to have gotten rid of some features I found helpful. For one, I don’t like that now when you go Into the history, it no longer shows the date and time of your purchase, so if you need to take a screenshot of your “receipt” it does not include the complete purchase info, which renders it less useful. It shows a receipt number, which is not useful to me, and it is inconvenient to have to screenshot both the history list AND the purchase itself. Why did you get rid of this? Why fix what wasn’t broken? Also, you have removed the date info for the Starbucks cards. It was helpful to have the info on the start dates of my cards to differentiate the cards, especially the similar ones. It used to have that info before. It also is frustrating when the app does not let you choose the store you want and sometimes suggests some faraway store. It would be helpful if it also told you reasons why you are unable to use the app - ie, store shut off mobile orders, store is closing, etc. Otherwise, you think it’s your phone or app and you waste a lot of time. I also would like that the app kept the history details for the “free” items, because just because it’s free, doesn’t mean you don’t want to record WHAT you had. But, for the most part, I like using the app. -
Love the app but most stores are slow to make your mobile order!
The app is almost perfect. I wish you can customize the mobile orders a little more like put someone else’s name on it when you order for someone else. But that’s not my big gripe and why it only gets 3 stars. There are two reasons. First of all, one less start is due to store locater being slow half the time unless it happens to be your store that you note as a favorite. The 2nd reason, and it’s a big reason, is that most stores are now very slow to process your mobile order. I can expect 5-10 more minutes on top of what they estimate for you. A lot of them just say they have many drinks. Well the system should have factored that in. If you give estimated times then factor in how many drinks just got into the system. I do think many stores just don’t pay attention to the mobile orders as much. I literally see them pull the labels out for those who are at the stores ordering and let the other machine that has the mobile order sit there longer. Starbucks: If you want more people to use mobile order then have your baristas pay attention to the mobile order labels being printed. Those are your most loyal customers and don’t want to wait 10-15 minutes for their drink to be made. It defeats the whole purpose of having mobile orders! -
I wish there was space for us to add notes for our mobile orders, it would make the Baristas job easier too. Plus I have really been disappointed with your Starbucks games. I used to win stars and individual drinks all the time, but for the last two games, I barely won any stars or any other prizes. We also had ton of ways to get extra plays; i.e daily challenges, weekly challenges and such that would give you extra entries on top of your purchased entries. Now its just bland and not worth it.

Reloading the Card Needs to be Optional
I would actually choose Starbucks so much more frequently if I was able to pay the total amount of my order instead of having to reload a minimum of $10 every time I order. Which I didn’t even know it was $10, I thought it was $15 because the lowest minimum of $10 isn’t the prompted amount. I want to be able to pay my order total- not give you my money like an ATM at a bank so you can use it at your free will until or if I ever order again. There’s no reason we should not be able to do pay as you go! Every Starbucks near my house and my job are high volume. I have to order on the app to ensure I won’t be late- regardless of how early or how much time I have. Wait time estimations are unreliable, using the app is so much faster and easier, however, I very rarely do because of the lack of pay as you go feature. I almost always choose competitors such as local shops, convenience stores, or Dunkin Donuts because I know I can be in and out of these places, unlike Starbucks. Ive ordered in Starbucks and waited on average 10 mins every time and that doesn’t even include the very busy days. You are taking away an added convenience and because of it losing potential sales! -
I love the convenience of the app, but it's a pain in the ass that you can't select what kind of coffee you want. Stores default to the Pike and I don't like it; I prefer dark roast or blonde! But there's no way to specify that when you order through the app.
-
It's a nice app but it would be great if they offered delivery through the app so you could use your card and points. As it is, you have to order through Uber Eats and you don't have the option to use the Starbucks app to pay for it. So you don't get points for any of your purchases.

At least it supports Apple Wallet
The app is okay. I only really use it to see how many stars I have and to reload my card. My primary interface with the entire ecosystem and purchase experience is via the Apple Wallet card (so the support for that is good). If I could also use another means to complete a mobile order, I would. I still has several issues. It doesn’t refresh my balance. I have to go into Apple Wallet to see that. Very odd. I also think that any challenges and games to incentivize more visits should happen in the app, versus today, which requires a separate login in a web browser. Other issues are really around how busy the interface is and how many steps it takes to actually order something. Seeing people in line realizing they need to add money and then just paying by card directly shows you how the design is more of an interference to the process. Another thing is the mobile ordering process. I would love to have a shortcut order for mobile so I don’t have to confirm via multiple steps every time - yes, I know the distance of my store relative to my position so I don’t need a reminder or a warning. -
Less Care, Rushed Drinks
I’ve noticed lately that drinks being made with a rushed demeanor instead of how baristas used to be trained...which was putting care and effort into making drinks. I live in an area (San Jose) where I am able to visit several different Starbucks throughout the week when I’m out and about. So, this review is not regarding one Starbucks in particular; I’ve seen a change in the quality of training baristas. For example, I have recently taken a like to the iced matcha green tea latte. No matter which Starbucks I’ve ordered that drink from in San Jose, the drink is made with too much ice, which fills up 3/4 of the cup when I’m done drinking the drink. I’ve requested light ice many a times. When I’ve done this, the drink isn’t filled up to the top. When I’ve questioned this concern to baristas, I’ve had different responses...from, “It’s due to the foam from being shaken” to “We aren’t allowed to fill the drink to the top.” This frustration has caused me to become bitter about ordering the drink I love and to stop ordering it. Hopefully better training on making drinks improves and customer service at the Starbucks sites improve. -
A Possible life saving app suggestion
There truly needs to be either a comment section or allergy section when ordering something through the app. I have a severely anaphylactic milk and almond (so almond milk) allergy. I request coconut milk every time but it is not always acknowledge because it gets busy and things get rushed but I have saved myself countless times by stopping the barista after they pour milk in my drink. I always get there early to try to watch them make it if possible and cannot use drive through anymore because I was given milk in a drink and obviously didn’t get to see them pour it. I had an anaphylactic reaction in parking lot luckily I had a friend (and nurse) with me. This was not the first time and I stopped going to Starbucks for a while because I was super nervous. But I am back to being a daily customer. Allergies are, most of the time, very serious and dangerous. And if there is a place when order that says *ALLERGIES* where underneith you can write what yours is and have Starbucks employees know to look for that it could be the difference between a Emergency room trip or enjoying your coffee. Thank you -
Room for improvement
This app works very well and I appreciate it very much. Thank you for creating it. However, the folks at the Starbucks I go to have lost not only their personalities, but sadly their customer service skills too. They are way too task oriented and although it’s great for getting my coffee up in that counter promptly, it does nothing for making Starbucks feel like your neighborhood coffee shop. Some employees act like you’re putting them out when they get interrupted to get you something and most other employees completely avoid any eye contact with the customer. I know this because, I purposely say thank you out loud when I pick up my order and I don’t get so much as a look back let alone a polite response of you’re welcome. Or thank you for coming in. I get it. People have a lot on their minds. You (Starbucks)overwork them. You are part of the problem. However, I believe this can be solved. Please be kind to them when you get the chance to coach them and remember we appreciate them for all their hard work. It would just be nice if they made folks feel at home. Thank you.

I've been trying to use a birthday reward and the cashiers keep taking my stars. I thought I wasn't clear the first time I tried to use it and made sure to be very specific on the second attempt at redeeming it and it still happened. I had to reach out 4 times to resolve the issue. Something is not set up right with this system for it to be so complicated to use a birthday reward.

Needs more options like unsweetened and sugar free
I wish I could like the app more. It’s great that everyone at the office can place their order and then one person pick it up. The issue is that in this day and age with so many people being diabetic and others doing Keto you sugar free or unsweetened options are severely lacking. For example chai tea has no sugars or carbs naturally. The chai “syrup” that is used in the chai drinks and fraps does. There needs to be an unsweetened option or an option in the app to have tea bags used instead. The same goes for the coconut milk and almond milk. There needs to be unsweetened options in the app. My office use to do Starbucks runs multiple times a week but we don’t anymore because too many people can’t place an order online through the app as sugar free, unsweetened, and Keto options are not readily available. If they want a chai latte they have to go in to order it and asked for it to be made with tea bags. Also need a way to report that the drink you ordered online, and picked up is wrong. This is another reason we stopped our Starbucks runs is that one person would pick up the orders for everyone and not know if something was wrong. I ordered a pink drink but what I got didn’t have any coconut milk in it. I took a picture of the drink, label, and order to prove it but couldn’t do anything about it while I was at work. -
Just downloaded yesterday and it keeps crashing! I was able to sign up, and then after restarting several times I was able to load some money onto the digital gift card. But today I can't get the app to do anything at all! It feels like a scam. That gift card money was basically stolen from me, since I can't use the app. I'm using a galaxy note 8, so there shouldn't be compstibility issues.

Very lame app and poor costumer service over the phone
About two weeks ago ,I tried to create an account to enjoy the rewards ,well, its imposible. Why? I created ,then signing in ,nothing happen . Just ‘we’re sorry but we’re unable to log you in ,please try again’ . I got help over the line ,the agent was nice ,but even when he finally could create a password with my e-mail ,he never want to give it to me . Then , ill wait 24 hrs because they’re a system ‘has a problem’ okay ,let’s wait . 24 hrs goes by ,but no success trying the app or the website . A gentleman send me a gift card with 7 dollars (THANKS STARBUCKS) . Waiting the week to get the card ,registered online and enjoy the rewards ,everything that I mention before ,happens again. Is such a lame software at the website or app ,trying with iPhone 8 or galaxy s edge ,is the same . Creating another account with new e-mail ,the same . Is amazing how a company like Starbucks ,has a very poor app and nobody can tell you what’s going on . If people or companies create a platform who let costumers enjoy programs ,they should to give it maintenance. Worst is the people over the phone who doesn’t know about the website or the app. They won’t reset your account and you need to wait 24 hrs . Starbucks should have a kiosk like McDonald’s and make his service faster and easy. The app is a failure system along with the website ,PERIOD. -
Total disaster. Last few months the app doesn't talk to the card, doesn't talk to the website. Just spent 20 min at the till at a location. Staff are totally lost and frustrated with Starbucks crazy poor IT systems. Mayhem is not an exaggeration. Oh. My cash balance disappeared too.

Doesn't work in the order option after Samsung Android 10 October 2020 update. Application simply stops and closes. This happened with a 5.1 Lollipop update a few years ago; application was fixed a few weeks later. In between that in 2015 and this recent Android update, the application has been 99% flawless.

App crashes when I try to place a mobile order. I've tried to troubleshoot by logging out of my Starbucks account and logging back in, using force quit, and uninstalling/reinstalling the app. Still, nothing has worked. I have a Samsung Note8. The app used to work flawlessly before the latest update.

"A system error had occurred. Please try again later". I wasn't able to use my app at the drive-thru today so my purchase didn't count towards my points. That was hours ago and I'm still not able to use it.

PUMPKIN CREAM COLD FOAM
pls pls pls add Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam as a toppings option. I have to call ahead every single time and I can tell it annoys the employees. It annoys me too, I’d rather just order through the app that’s the whole point of mobile ordering. ADD IT. I can’t handle being told one more time to just “do it through the app” and then having to explain THE APP WON’T LET ME. -
Fraud
I had 200 stars in the application and today I only have 25, it's a steal !!! -
Birthday Scam
The app said tap to redeem your free drink, then the price of two drinks came out of the starbucks card after I paid. It wasn’t free. -
The most frustrating app
I constantly have to reload it in store even after turning auto payments on, it takes FOREVER and I’m constantly standing in line fumbling with it. There needs to be the ability to connect with your credit card and auto-debit when you’re attempting to charge above your balance. -
Crazy crazy wait time
This app needs to give notification of the backlog for mobile orders, or at least notify when it’s ready. Standing in the store for 49 mins waiting for my name to be called DOES NOT CUT IT

NEEDS UPDATES
I’ve been using the Starbucks app going on 4 years now. The app is showing some major glitches as of late. Twice in the past two weeks have I not received my mobile order because the app randomly “auto selects” a different option and then even after I reselect the correct option it will then for a second time reselect the WRONG option. Unaware of this I don’t notice and as a result don’t receive my order. Per example it continually selects an old store I haven’t ordered from in months, I will change it to my current store and again without me noticing it will auto select the previous store. I then find out when I get to the correct store and my order wasn’t placed. Today the app “auto selected” an old seasonal gift card rather than my gold card that I use daily to order with. It showed the picture of my gold card when I placed my order but the last four numbers were different, the picture just hadn’t changed. So when I arrived to pick up my order I open the app to see it yet again had not placed my order. The Starbucks store teams and customer service are always gracious and fix the issue which I greatly appreciate! However this is unacceptable that the Mobile App can not deliver the same results and continually cause failed orders. -
Pretty good, however...
Pretty good app overall however these past few days I am not able to see my gold account star count at all and rewards accrued anymore for some reason and I’ve been all over the app to try to find it. Already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but no luck. Once this if fixed I will gladly change my star rating. Also another quick suggestion would be, as of late in my case (and I’m sure I’m not the only one), I’ve noticed that stores sell out of certain items faster so when you mobile order something sometimes you get to the store to pick up and they’re out and most of the time they don’t even ask you what else more you may want until you ask them about it. Yes, I get most stores are insanely packed and baristas are overwhelmed but to avoid this issue and also help the barista then perhaps the app should give you an alternate food option in case what you ordered food wise sells out during the mobile order process so then that way the barista doesn’t have to wait until you arrive for your order to ask you what else you may want and try to keep track of something like that while customers keep rolling in, again just a friendly suggestion. -
Needs improvement
They need a better system for this app. When it works, it’s great, but if the Starbucks you’re ordering from doesn’t have an item you ordered via mobile, it’s like pulling teeth. Placed a mobile order, prep time 2-5 minutes. Waited and waited; checked again, prep time: soon. After close to 15 minutes of waiting, I finally left work and went in to Starbucks. My order was nowhere on the counter and everyone else was getting their orders. Finally after a few minutes of standing there, a guy approached me to let me know they didn’t have my sandwich and asked if I wanted anything else. I said no, I just wanted to be refunded. He said ok and walked away. Still was waiting for my drink. After another few minutes of waiting, I finally asked the girl making drinks if mine was going to be ready anytime soon as I had been waiting a while. She said oh, it’s right here but I was waiting for your sandwich. I said they were out of it and the guy was refunding me. She gave me my drink (which was now lukewarm, if that) and said I’d have to go to the register for the refund. I then had to stand in line and wait for the refund. Very, very inconvenient for someone stepping out from work to pick up an order. -
Much Needed Update
I gave the app 2 stars because there are some things that needs fixed. The ease of ordering at your fingertips and skipping the line is great. However, there are other things that makes it not so great. I've noticed that on drink orders if you add to the ingredients all of it doesn't print out on the label. They prefer you to call the store and make those updates.(that's what I was told by the store manager). If I could do that why use the app I could just call in the order. Next issue I noticed is when you pay with the app it doesn't update the balance until 15-20 minutes later. Another, from the menu selection it will display some items aren't available at your location of choice. When you pick up your order and inquire the item is available. Advanced as technology is today there should be a way for systems to talk to each other especially dealing with inventory. People spend too much money to enjoy these luxuries & simple pleasures to continue he experiencing these fixable issues. These items of concerns have been on going since last year plenty of time for the developers & tech teams to come up with a doable plan. -
revision - not improvement
I used to use your app all the time. It was simple and easy to use and your star rewards were easy as well to get rewarded. These past several months the app is no longer easy to use and I work in the IT field! The app is confusing to order on and use rewards. I keep getting errors that I cannot use something in my order but won’t suggest how to help to get the order processed. I have to go into the store and try to talk to a cashier about my order and they don’t seem to know much more than I do about it! Yesterday, through trying to place an online order using the Happy Hour 8/8 reward, I finally ordered to cold coffees and one was hot when I picked it up. I stood there waiting for someone to help me replace the hot cup and finally had to speak up and ask for assistance. They are real good at smiling and quickly dodging you and won’t ask if you need assistance. I am sorely tempted to create my own coffees at home and forget Starbucks. I have been a customer for several years, as are my family members, but I am a professional and do not have time for this nonsense for a cup of coffee in my busy day! So disappointed!!! -
Starbucks is too rich for my blood anyways
You shouldn’t have to reload $10 when you want something that’s like $3. The only way I’ve worked around this is by sending myself $5 gift cards. I don’t even drink Sbux that often and the idea of having to reload another $10 on my card because I am a few cents short of my balance from the last time I spent $10...... We shouldn’t be forced to “reload” our money into Starbucks system... if so it should start at 1¢ not $10. Anyways we actually should be able pay for our items directly from our debit cards to the checkout like a normal mobile ordering system. Stars expire ridiculously fast. Once again, I understand the idea of “loyal” customers who buy more often getting the incentives that come with the stars but you literally have to spend $100 in a month to be able to redeem the rewards before they expire. Customizations reflected as you adjust it. For example, a certain drink has a standard recipe and Starbucks does tell the nutritions facts, but if I substitute milks or add pumps of syrup, I would like to see the updated nutrition facts when I add or remove things. -
One way street - place order, hope for the best
I’ve had this app for years and have appreciated the ability to put in my customized orders in advance and have the accurately documented, avoiding lines, and paying quickly (and without my wallet). But my biggest issue with the app is that it is a one way street... there is no way to provide feedback on locations, to request refunds when you order something the store “forgot” to take if off line, or for the store to alert you when you order something that actually isn’t available at the location. Waiting in line for a refund or to pick an alternative for an item that shouldn’t have been available to order after you’ve pre-ordered is counter-productive to the entire pre-order option. At that rate it would have saved time standing in line. This used to be a once in a while thing, but it’s become almost a weekly occurrence at various locations as the menu has grown and inventory has been redistributed. After severe years i would have expected some type of communication option with the locations.

App crashes when I try to place a mobile order. I've tried to troubleshoot by logging out of my Starbucks account and logging back in, using force quit, and uninstalling/reinstalling the app. Still, nothing has worked. I have a Samsung Note8. The app used to work flawlessly before the latest update.

Don’t use it for your business Expenses...It Does not keep the receipts
If you moved to the app to keep track of your receipts for business expense then it should be made clear that they do not store more than 90days in history. I lost out in hundreds of dollars of my personal money that I no longer have access to receipts cycled out of this app. I recharged my card with my personal money. Purchased my breakfasts, lunches, snacks from my frequent business trips thinking that the receipts would still be here. NOPE. Customer Service can’t retrieve them. They can see that I’ve regularly recharged my card so know how much of my money that has gone to their company. So Starbucks is fine with taking my money, just not enabling me to access my complete receipt history so I can get it back from my company. Companies don’t reimburse you on the money you add to your Starbucks app. All Customer Service is empowered to do is offer me $40 for the inconvenience. I spent HUNDREDS of dollars over the past year that I am unable to be reimbursed on and you offer me this as a solution? Data Analytics in this day and age should have a clear accounting for where my money goes once I’ve put it in this app & that accounting should be accessible. That is an acceptable solution. Not $40 credit for the inconvenience of not being Account completely to where your money went. -
Not very easy to use. Bought a cool looking card to add to the app. When I added the card the picture that showed up in the app wasn't the picture that was on the physical card. I called customer service about this they weren't able to do anything about it.

Cannot place orders without the app crashing. Have already tried uninstalling and logging out and back in. Based on the recent reviews I'm not the only one with issues. Only started happening with most recent update. Waiting for them to patch this.
- Easy access to your Starbucks Gold card and gift cards, available at the touch of a button on mobile devices
- In a hurry? Skip the line! Store your favorite orders in the app and order ahead with one click
- View your receipt and tip your barista at a glance, all within the app
