The best app for everyone to use
I absolutely LOVE the target app! First and foremost, it’s most beneficial to have an account for target and stay logged in so you can use the perks. Not a debit or credit card account, just a normal store account. I use the drive up option all the time. As a new mom, I did not want to lug a baby inside the store and shop during flu season. I place an order and easily ready within the hour, I think the longest I’ve had to wait was maybe 3, but still guaranteed within 4 hours. You let them know through the app you are on your way and they know when I’m there. I’m not sitting for long and on my way with my order! If you lose your receipt, you can pull up past orders on your phone to return something. Anything you ordered online can be easily tracked on the app. You can email gift receipts to people for items you bought them. I had someone send me a target giftcard over a text message and saved it onto my account and could easily apply it to an order. I shop at target more often because of how easy and accessible the app is. -
Quick and easy. I downloaded this app for curbside pick up. Very pleased how simple it is. My only concern is the colors of items is a bit hard to differentiate. White looks a lot like purple. Blues were hard to tell. Also, it's hard to filter out what's available at the stores. Checkout was very easy and I like the option to link my Google pay.

Please fix app ASAP!
I used to love this app! I even loved that you merged the cartwheel into the app. I always thought it was stupid that I needed 2 apps. I even loved that you added the wallet. As a woman who changes purses, wallets etc I have forgotten my target card before so that’s great. HOWEVER what the hell have you done to this app! Now it crashes all the time in the store. Also more importantly I CAN NO LONGER ACCESS MY LIST!!! I live by that list when I shop! You released an update & didn’t fix a thing. I was in the store today & saw the dot indicating the app was updated. So foolishly I go in thinking the app is fixed try to access the list, nothing. So I restart the phone try again, nothing. Then I try to scan an item it crashes. It’s infuriating! How did we go 2 steps forward with the app & go 20 steps back! Is this the end of the world, no! But as someone who loved that I could do my list & therefore shop more efficiently since I knew where each item was to now lose that function & have to spend 3xs more time scanning my items for cartwheel it’s extremely annoying. First world problems, yes. But somebody is getting paid to develop & maintain this app for the customers therefore it should actually work! -
I like shopping on the app, but it's slightly confusing. For instance today I added a bunch of stuff to a list thinking that list was my cart. Where was that list? I don't know,it was not my cart. Also when shopping for drive up I have to always select drive up, if I don't I get some error when I go to check about how what I've done can't really be done and I shouldn't have done it. For those reasons it gets three stars.

If you’re not using the Target app, you’re wasting money
This is one of the best shopping apps out there. It provides transparency to the consumer so you get the best available prices whether you’re shopping online or in store. If you’re shopping in store, just use the app to scan everything you put in your cart. The scanned (online) price is almost always less than the price shown at the store. For those items, you can request a price adjustment at the cashier when you’re checking out. I regularly save 10-20% every time I go to target by doing this. If you don’t want to shop in store, the in-app shopping experience is great. It tells you every offer and coupon available to you, and you can select in store pickup or drive up (if your location offers it) or shipping. The wallet feature is seamlessly integrated with your target debit or credit card. [If you don't have a target debit card but you do have a bank account, sign up for the debit card. They don’t check your credit and you get an automatic 5% off every purchase.] -
App has shown items in stock in store that aren’t
App most recently showed me an item was in store, showed a buy online, pick up in store option and gave me trouble when I tried to use a prepaid gift card. Spoke with two reps in customer service on the phone, store employees, and I’m still frustrated about my experience. 1st phone rep helped me place order after app didn’t work for me because of difficulty I had placing my order with a gift card. Order was confirmed, then I received an email saying the item couldn’t be picked up. That’s when I called the store and they told me they had the item. I went down to the store, they told me that my card would actually get charged in the store when the item was picked up. I guess the moral of the story is don’t expect to be able to use any gift card other than a Target one if picking up in store. They handled it awfully and put me on the phone with the second rep I spoke to. Left the store looking at the item I wanted sitting in customer service and the employee telling me the charge on the gift card would likely come off in a few days because it was just a temporary hold. -
Mama’s best friend
I have a toddler and with the drive up service I no longer have to block out an hour and a half of my day in order to make a Target run. This service is a godsend for mamas with babies that don’t like to sit still in the cart. I pick out my items on the app, check out, then a short time later (within a couple hours, if not much sooner) I get a notification saying that my order is ready for pickup. I push the “I’m on my way” button when I’m in the car and heading to the store. I park in one of the designated pickup spots, hit the “im here” button, and boom my goodies are delivered to my car in just a matter of a minute or two. All while my toddler sits in his car seat eating a snack or playing happily with a toy. The only way this could be better is if I could pick up perishable grocery items this way too. I understand the storage of items that need to be refrigerated has to be carefully planned so I get why I can’t do that. Hopefully Target figures out a way to make it happen though because that would be amazing! -
I like everything about the service & the app, except I don't need huge pictures of each item when scrolling through to find exactly what I want. Plus, if selecting "Drive Up" for one item, I'd like to just have the app assume it's going to be Drive Up for every item, rather than have to select it each time. That makes it somewhat cumbersome for larger shopping lists.

Very nice but could be even better....
The new app is very nice, with Cartwheel right there. I love that I can make a shopping list and it tells me where the items are in the store and whether there is a cartwheel coupon to go with it. However a few suggestions to make it even better/easier: -make the shopping list editable so I can add to something already there or move them around -when browsing cartwheel, I'd love to be able to have the capability to not only add those items to cartwheel, but add to my shopping list from there. Seems that you can only add cartwheel items to the shopping list once you've added an item to your list, it shows you there's a cartwheel coupon, you click the little cart to see it, and there you can add to both cartwheel and the list, but then I have my generically listed item that I have to remove and the one added by cartwheel. So in essence, I want to be able to start building my shopping list from cartwheel browsing first. Aside from the above, it is overall a definite improvement and much easier to use. I love the wallet, as well!!!! -

I love that I’m able to get most items while I’m shopping online but through this pandemic, I haven’t been able to get groceries with my other items. I have only been in 1 grocery store & 1 pharmacy since March 1. By not being able to get groceries when I pick up my other items, it has forced me to shop elsewhere. Furthermore, when it comes to toilet paper, disinfecting spray and wipes, let me put it in my cart & pick it up. Limiting the quantities is fine. If the product is out when your employee is picking my order, then send me a text or email asking about a substitution. If I don’t like the substitution, be able to remove that item from my order when they bring it to my vehicle. If an item is out when they’re picking, just communicate that via email or text so that I’m aware that it wasn’t available when picking. It would be nice to have the capability of choosing to pick up the next day & have the opportunity to modify my order up to a designated time. I know I don’t have to pick up my order the same day, but it would be convenient to be able to alter orders that aren’t being picked up within the same day.

User friendly!

Good. Target need to make it easier to change stores.
-
I did not see anywhere that you could edit an order immediately placed ( Target had removed an item from my shopping cart), despite Target stating this was possible. Therefore, I had to create a 2nd order just for 1 item.

Great pick up
-
I love this app. I ordered drive thru pickup which is only available through the app.
-
Not sure I did this right. I'll know more if order comes through. My first time.
-
So convenient and use friendly! Plus exclusive discounts and Target " cash" opportunities not found in stores or even online. Definitely downloaded this app if you shop at Target!
-
works fine.

Love target... app not friendly to shippers
-
This was the easiest app I've used for adding a new credit card. I also like that it showed me that I had Target Circle Credit, and it was so easy to apply to my order.

Great for both online shopping and finding products in the store! It's easy and quick to make purchases. Finding items is a lot quicker when you get the aisle number and can see when items are in stock. Sometimes the app is wrong about an item being in stock; but the employeees can help check, and you see this problem with other stores, too. Just updating: still great after a couple years.

It’s TARGET, people!
When I need something for myself, my kids, or my home, I check with Target first! I do love going into the store to shop, but the app and online store is amazing and has many deals not found in house. If I need a different quantity/color/option/size of something I found in the store, I can supplement with items found online with my app to get what I want. It’s very intuitive and saves searches, with product updates! Nowadays there are serious options to shop—in store, online, and pick up! The app is comprehensive, the new Circle program still saves you money—scan everything so you don’t miss a deal! Target is my “Go to” for most things I need or want. The app helps you get there. If there is ever a power failure—the customer service on the phone or in the store is always excellent. TARGET has surpassed all other big box stores because of its policies, stock quality, progressive and trendy but accessible/affordable environment, and of course, the smart shoppers it attracts. Can anyone say STARBUCKS? 🤩 -
My HONEST REVIEWS by the GODNETWORK2020
To foresee the future is a virtue and to give feedback should be a blessing for all .... so if you feel see or mind then care that's my motto and I live by it regardless of what others think but as a consumer and a customer we must help others target any problems situations and any issues that you can use to make sure that they do what they can to give you the most honest caring and responsible outcome of showing you how different they are doing what you have searingly and without payment for false propaganda reviews and be praised at becoming the store that is still hanging around for you guys and families around the country and they are right on TARGET WITH THE ATTENTION AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CUSTOMERS NEED AT FAST TIMES IN A BUSINESS THAT SHOULD MAKE OUR CUSTOMERS FEEL UNSTRESSED BY THE NEW APPS AND TECHNICIANS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE... 5 stars from the 2 or three before last years review thank you guys for reading and thank you Target for caring about us. -
Target App is THE BEST way to Shop!!
I have been using the Target Shopping App for about 2-3 years now & I got into it right away, however, recently the experience has become so amazing that I rarely shop anywhere else for a variety of products from Essentials-Home! The order & “Pick Up” option is always a breeze, it’s actually cheaper to buy certain products this way & it gets rid of waiting for a specific item to be tracked down on the floor. Cartwheel makes this even better with price options & most recently I have really started to use the “Buy 2”, “Buy 3”, “Buy 4” & receive a Target Gift Card $5-20 for next purchase. I love this feature because it’s often paired with Household Items, Laundry Detergents & Bath & Body Essentials! You usually run out of everything at once so it’s easy to take advantage of & then you get that extra Target $$ to make a purchase you just really want but it wasn’t in the budget! The Target Shopping App is My Go-2 Personal Shopper & Savings Assistant!! -
The pinnacle of perfection! Ok, maybe that is a little over the top, but I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with how integrated a retailer's application is between their inventory and their customers! I am blown away with how easy it was to purchase inventory online, using remaining Circle rewards as well as add a newly acquired giftcard (using the camera by the way) to the same transaction! Very polished, easy to use, highly recommended!

Five stars
I’m rating this app five stars because even though it has its glitches I work at Target and have to struggle with people in store who believe that everything should happen perfectly. Like the second something is bought it should *poof* reflect in our store devices and the online availability. And that we should somehow be able to see the percents that come off of each item when we hit total (Just a heads up, it doesn’t tell us until you know too.) And while I know you guests won’t understand this, I’d rather they stuck with the developers they have instead of spending more money here, and put more money into our brick and mortar stores. For me, I feel like that should be top priority. But hey, you want to mock the company more for putting more money into other things, then go for it. But understand that that effects hours, training and your service in store. This app is awesome if you take the time to work through a few glitches and use a little patience. -
So Convenient
Target has really stepped up their game by adding Drive Up. Today, we were getting our shopping done - when we got home I realized I forgot to get coffee grounds. Tragic! How can anyone survive Monday morning without coffee? We had to meet my parents for dinner so I didn’t have time to run back out to grab coffee. I used the app to purchase coffee and pick up using Drive Up. It was so seamless. After our dinner, I clicked that we were on the way, right when we pulled up the employee was there waiting with my order. So perfect! I’ve tried other stores that offer the park/pickup option (Walmart, Kroger, etc.) and I have to say Target is definitely the best. Each time I’ve used their app the employee has been there waiting for me right when I pull in and they are always so friendly. It’s literally like a drive thru. The only somewhat negative thing is that you cannot get cold/refrigerated/frozen items using Drive Up, which is something other stores do offer.

Blues were hard to tell. Also, it's hard to filter out what's available at the stores. Checkout was very easy and I like the option to link my Google pay.

UPDATE 7/23/20: App seems to be running a little more smoothly. Also, they added an action where you can choose Drive Up BEFORE you go and add a bunch of items to your cart. So it shows what is available for Drive Up! No "continue shopping" button when you first check your cart. Still fairly easy and simple to guide. 1. Not very clear. 2. Says item is available when it is not. 3. Add a bunch of items and then it tells you "Not available for Drive up". 4. Fairly easy and simple to use.
-
Deals are current, it's user friendly, and easy to find what you want. I only wish you could filter out things when shopping for strictly delivery or pick up. Its annoying to find what I am looking for then to find out they don't even have it available online OR I am just looking for what's available in store near me, I don't want to see online exclusives or out-of-stock items. It gets a bit tedious. It's possible that filter feature exists, I just didn't see it. Overall, it's a great app, tho.

Target Drive Up is awesome!
Target is providing an excellent Drive up service. I am someone who uses Walmart grocery pickup, Sams club drive up pick up and Harris teeter. Target service is the best. Sams awful service no signature required, messes up order, before they even bring the order email comes that your order has been picked up and how was your experience, also can not cancel the order. Harris teeter is good but expensive, I also like how they provide actual paper receipt. Walmart is hit and miss but my main complain is it takes them a long time to bring order, and they use those not so practical baskets, carts are more efficient and functional. Target service is fast, I can add items to my order, I can cancel my order and there is no minimum purchase requirement. I don’t mind $10 or $15 minimum purchase but more than that hinders me from ordering. I do not always have $35 or $40 items to order when I don’t have time to go to store. I do wish target will add basic cold items like milk, egg and yogurt to their service. Also maybe bread. -
Overall it’s a good App
We’ve used this app for several months now. So far it’s been very helpful, and we like the ability of the drive-up feature. One thing I would love to see is the ability to manually choose which Target Drive-up you want to stop at first. Here in the Eastern part of Virginia, we have many Target store to choose from. What I don’t like is if you have multiple drive-up order at different stores. You have to go in order of the purchases. For example: my wife had (2) orders for Drive-Up. Order #1 was at the Military Hwy store, and Order #2 was at the Pembroke Store. The second order is further away from my house so I checked into the Target app, and the info for order#1 showed up. I went to Pembroke store thinking that GOs would notify this store. No! So I called the guest services and told them I’m picking up order . The store reply, “Sir, the app doesn’t show us you’re on the way here.” I said, “ I’m outside in waiting “ Just wish Target would allow users to pick which drive-up order they wanted to get first. -
Two things to Fix
I really enjoy using the app, except when it comes to check out. First, there should be an option to apply a pick up location to all items in your cart instead of having to select a location for each item, if that’s not what you’re trying to do. It’s really time consuming when you have a bunch of stuff in your shopping cart. Second, the wallet doesn’t allow you to use hard coupons or gift cards. Every time I’ve tried the associate says they apply cartwheel first, then coupons or gift cards, but if your red card is linked to the wallet, it’s making the purchase immediately after applying the cartwheel & going back to apply gift cards not linked to your wallet is a pain. I unlinked my red card from the wallet to get around this, but it would be nice to be able to use the wallet as intended and not have to produce the actual card. All in all, I love the app and the ease of use - just fix those two things & I’d be happy to give five stars!

It was a little difficult due to the factors of first it kept sending me back to the beginning of each area everytime I chose an item it would be easier if it sent me back to where I was. Also, I had to reset the system several times because it would drop me. Plus, I put in an application online over a week ago for a new Red card, because mine expired, (I was out of state and my house burned down) however I never received any response?while trying below queries, they were cut off at mid section

Super handy but not always accurate
I use this app all the time. To see if something is in stock before heading to my local store. To order something for pickup. To check sales and clip coupons. Amazingly handy to quickly figure out what aisle something is in while shopping at my local store. Super useful especially for moms! However, there are some flaws that are annoying. The app often says something is in stock at the local store, so I head there to find it and it’s actually out of stock. Or I order something “in stock” for same-day local pickup and they end up having to ship it to my house days later because it’s not actually in stock. Also, I can’t stand how there are online-only sales accessible through the app. So for example you might look up a product you want to buy in the app, see the price while you are at your local store, but it is not on sale in the actual store so you have to either pay full price or order it online and wait for it to ship. First world problems, obviously, but fixing these issues would really streamline the user experience. -
It is relatively easy to navigate finding the products you want. When it was time to check out, however, it took me over 20 minutes to change the card I was using because the card on file was no longer valid. After attempting to change my card information multiple times I was forced to completely exit the app, re-enter, and then resubmit my card again because the app was not accepting the changes.

I absolutely love the Target app and the Drive-Up feature they’re now offering where I live. I’m a mother of two toddlers so making a trip to Target can be overwhelming, but now I’m able to do all my shopping online while they’re asleep and pick up (most item) through their Drive-Up service. The ONLY issue I have is that not all items are available for Drive-Up, which to me makes no sense. I mean certain items that may require an adult to show an ID, I totally get, but for example, dish washing soap... there’s a specific dish washing soap that is not available for the Drive-Up service, but every other dish washing soap is available. If a Drive-Up service to a store is going to be available, then it needs to be for the WHOLE store and every last single item that’s inside of it. When I go to McDonald’s drive-thru, they don’t make me get my burger and fries at the window and then require me to come inside to get my drink! I mean that makes no sense. Once every item, or least the items I’m needing become available for Drive-Up, then I’ll change my rating to 5 stars. -
Needs a payment wizard when setting up
The initial of attaching a payment method to the Wallet is confusing, and the process is not clearly stated. After transferring to a new phone, I found it difficult to understand if my payment method (Red Card) was properly attached to the Wallet and working. I suggest a “payment wizard” or helper be added. This should be automatically launched when a customer logs into an existing account that has a payment method attached. (Put up a “Attach Now / Later / Never” dialog). There should also be a radio button in the Wallet screen to add a payment method if none is attached. Finally, the workflow is unclear when using the Scanner function on an iPhone 7. The product info window covers up part of the Scan box. This User’s inclination is to close the product info page, and that exits the scanner (which always frustrates me!) The Scan box should be moved higher on the screen to make it clear the user can just scan another item. Fix your screen layout on classic iPhones! -
Shipping options
When you’re choosing the “order pick up” or “shipping” option you have to go to each item individually to choose how you want to recieve your items. Its inconvenient!! Why not just put one button that says “pick up entire order” and another button that says “ship entire order” and still have the option to individually go in and have things picked up or shipped separately(as they do it now)if thats what you want to do. I think that would make more sense and it would be more convenient. I feel sorry for the people who have 20 or so items. When i first ordered i chose order pick up Thinking it would cover my entire order but I was wrong, about an hour later I went to check on the order just to make sure it processed and noticed one item was being picked up and the other six were being shipped. I had to cancel my whole order and do it again so that all my items were abled to be picked up!!! Target please improve your online experience:) -
Bring back the ability to shop “my store” by default
I love the Target app and use it all the time. However, In one of the recent updates the app now defaults to shopping the closest store to your current location. Typically I like to add items to my cart as I think of them, or realize we are out of something and that way when I’m ready to do a drive up is already in my cart. These things may pop into my head while I’m at work or running other errands, but I still prefer to get my drive up orders from the Target right by my house. With it defaulting to using my current location I can’t always select my store in the “change store” option when adding to my cart because there may be several other store that are closer. It used to allow you to shop any store of your choosing right on the home screen of the app, but when I try to change it to the Target by my house it doesn’t allow me to select it. It acts like it’s already selected because I have it set as “My Store” in the app, but then it still searches the inventory of the nearest target when I search for products instead of searching the location I preselected as “My Store”. It doesn’t make a lot of sense. Shouldn’t it default to shopping my preferred Target store first and then allow me to change location if needed? I swear that’s how it used to work and it works really well. Maybe I’ll have to turn off location services for the Target App to get around this. -
The Saved list is broken
Something has been wrong with the ‘Saved for later’ list in the cart section for the past month or so. Now when I move items into the Saved for Later list, the list also suddenly gets filled up with a bunch of $5 gift cards. Where are these coming from, why are there so many, and why are they in Saved for Later? Not only are they cluttering up my Saved list, but they are automatically kicking out older items from my Saved list in order to keep the number of items at 50. Please fix this bug. And while you’re at it, please allow more than 50 items to be Saved for Later. It would be helpful if you added a function in the app that allowed you to look up the in-store prices of items as well as the online prices. That would be a huge help in figuring out whether it’s cheaper to buy an item in-store with a store-only cartwheel offer, versus buying it online with the online price.

LG stylo 6 app doesn't work. I can no longer scan items to search for deals or to check online availability. The scan part doesn't work. The camera won't focus no matter what. I used a guest service device, works fine. Now all the sudden the app on my phone doesn't work. It used to. Now its pointless to me. Also with circle update. I no longer ever really find deals or coupons anymore.

Horrible experience trying to use red card. Apparently there is a minimum amount you can spend to use ur new debit red card, but out of the three reps I spoke to no one knows that magical number they just kept telling me to keep making attempts. Then I made so many that it wouldn't let anything go through for at least 24hours! Then a rep tells me for the inconvenience I can use another credit card and get the 5% cash back but once I'm transfered the rep tells me I cannot get it.

Even now many features are missing....why?😑
The rating is for the app only. Love this store and when they added pick-up & drive-up, I was so happy. When I saw the app was missing features that would make filling my cart fast & easy, I figured they’d fix it in time...but they haven’t. I’m taking about simple things even our grocery store has on their low-tech website. Such as a list you can build (of items you buy frequently) in a column format with a link at the bottom that says “add to cart”. Empty boxes by each item for you to check, (whether 5 or 25) then click “add to cart”...done. The list doesn’t disappear (like target’s list), it’s always there for you to return to. Now Target does have your “favorites”; however they’re big pictures you have to click on one at a time to add to cart, and no “view all” option, so you may have 5-10 pages you have to keep loading. Lastly when you finally have your cart filled, there is no link to easily switch the whole order between pick-up and drive up if you change your mind. You have to tediously go though one item at a time...yet there’s plenty of space at the top for this link! Sigh. Target please please add these simple features! Thx so much for listening ~ -
Used to love the app until today. First, two people hung up on me. Second, the app doesnt take two modes of payment. Its 2020, and its Target. This big box retailer should have an app well equipped to take two modes of payment or a split payment. Especially in the time of an epidemic where people need to do that with loss of income. Bad job target. I used to love the app, now its back to Amazon!

Great Idea, Sometimes Works. Have had so many problems and even after taking the time to call the tech support folks twice, the app flakes out and locks up. Never had problems until a month or two ago when I gave up on Target; only tried today because I hoped it was working well again. Not. Other shopping apps work well, though.

It gives me trouble with my address everytime I try to place an order. It says "use suggested address" and so I click on that and then it doesn't work so I just use my original address, which happens to be identical to the suggested address, in order for it to go through, then every time I get past that point it makes me re-enter all my cc info because according to the app it the first time I 'm using that address. Quite inconvenient.

Target double sell gift card.
I got $250 Target gift card from my friend for my newborn baby's baby shower. I m not rich, I had been to avoid use it because I wanted to use it for diapers. ( Target’s grocery are much expensive than Walmart, but diapers are the same price in any big store ). I redeemed this gift card on Target mobile App on the same day I got it. So this month I still have over $180 in my account. But couple days ago, I was trying to buy diaper on on the Target mobile App as usual since I m a single mom with full time work ( I don't have time to shop inside store), but it ask me to put another payment which was first time had this situation. So I went to ” my wallet ” to check out. There was no gift card anymore. It's so wierd. So I called Target customer service, the lady answering my call said the gift card was used 2 days ago with lots of items ( I can see the last 4 digits of my gift card in the app since I always use it through my phone at home. I never carry it with me. And it was used in another state. This lady insisted that I lost my gift card and someone got it and use it in another state. So she said ” lost is lost, we couldn't do anything for you about this” It did make sense at all. I never carry the physical gift card with me, how can I lose it? -
Recent Update = UX Nightmare
Like many others, I was a long time user of the stand-alone Cartwheel app, which I considered to have a superior UX and feature set over the brand’s flagship app — this is also why, I regrettably began using this app when it replaced the stand-alone Cartwheel app several months ago. With that said, I’ve handled that this app is focused more on online than in-store shopping, I’ve dealt with the fact that it’s UX pales in comparison to the original and tasks that once took 1-2 taps now take 3-4(or more), and I even looked past several weeks of sign-in issues during the transition period. However, with the latest update, for some reason the development team decided to add sound effects to Cartwheel user actions. This would not have been a problem if the team had been conscientious enough to allow users to disable these sound effects, however after searching within the app and the phone settings I have been unable to find a quick and easy way to do this, which quite simply is bad UX. With the variety of other options available for providing feedback after a user performs an action, I see no excuse for the development team to not allow users to disable in-app sound effects. -
The shopping process could be more user friendly. Takes forever to pick an item then have to go back and add another. Checking out should be easier as well. Dont need so many different pop ups. Some things are hard to find ie when changing preferred store, hours consume the page and you miss where it says to pick as new home store.

Way to much trouble to combine weekly ad with Target Circle and add those items to a list and/or cart. No way to sort items in list or cart, and limited sorting in Target Circle. Search only picks up a limited number of items of a kind. Cereals, for example. I searched for Kellogg's items. The search only brought up items I purchased previously or items with current deals PLUS it brings up other brands such as GM and Quaker.

My credit card had to be closed out because of fraud. Your app required tons of sleuthing to add payment card. It kept telling me the name on the card was incorrect. No support. After many attempts and going back to homepage I added it there instead of checkout page. You should fix this

IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE AN ONLINE ORDER!!! Idk what Target has done to this app, but recently the interface changed. I attempted to complete an online purchase for drive-up and entered my pin. It would not accept the pin I ALWAYS use. I tried entering it over a dozen times. I called customer service and their automated robo answerer hung up on me. Guess Target is trying to find ways to alienate customers during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. FIX YOUR APP. GEEZ!
-
Too slow. Frustrating and time consuming.
-
When I open the app, it asks for my password or fingerprint (which it doesn't usually do unless I open my wallet), but it won't accept either. An error message comes up saying, "something went wrong on our end". Then it just keeps looping back to put a password/fingerprint in then back to the error message over and over. I can't use the app at all.
-
Difficult to find the location address

I will select drive up pick up for each item, at check out it looks like I have to go in for pick up. Why can't it just give me a number for my contactless parking lot pick up. It needs to be clearer what stores offer contactless and which don't.

Garbage

If the app is on your phone you can't look at the Target website in your browser. Just asinine. -

App constantly freezes when viewing the weekly ad and then crashes.

makes me re enter my card info bc it says ive used it too many time. But then when I try to remove it, the card stays and I get the same error. Also,when an item is out of stock, I want the option to replace with something else so that I dont lose promotions. Ive had to cancel/refund a whole order and reorder to get my free giftcard promo. Also, please add option to find target that has everything I need in stock--Im constantly adding/removing items to figure out which target will be my one stop

I would give the app more stars but since the payment section only works half the time I won't. I love target and shop there a couple times a week stopping to pick up groceries or some other household items but it is beyond frustrating when I shop in the app for a pick up order, get to the payment screen and it doesn't work. It just keeps asking me to confirm my pin or CC and then doesn't complete my purchase. And if the payments in app are down so is the website.
-
Update: Still slow. This app is a hot mess for browsing/shopping. It routinely lists a ton of items you can't buy (out of stock, not available at nearby stores, not able to be delivered to your zip code) and suggests items to buy again for pickup that aren't available for pickup (e.g. refrigerated items). Notifications for drive up and shipping are lumped together with annoying ads, so I don't use them at all. App is slow to open/scroll and consumes a lot of battery for some reason.

Avid Targeter
I love target. The features are great. Drive up is an amazing tool to have. I’ve used this for years and had no problems. I felt really secure to use this for most of my shopping until this past week. One of my target packages got intercepted and UPS couldn’t figure out why. So I figured either system glitch or someone had access to my target account to manipulate the package. But I had two target packages and only one of them got intercepted by the “receiver.” I changed my account password and even removed my target card and monitored for about 5 days. All good. No fraudulent charges. So I went and shopped for a pickup. Got my pickup. Later that day I saw a huge uptick in my nonprofit votes, which I wouldn’t have minded but you only get one per purchase and this was 10 more votes than I’d had originally I swear!! I’ve been eyeing my target app receipt purchases (online/in store), my REDcard account and my personal bank account for the past 24 hours. Nothing so far but it’s just weird right now with target. I’m thinking about canceling my card. I can’t risk this especially right now. Target do better security!! A major overhaul please!

Very bad store pickup experience
When I arrived at my local Target to get my “pickup in store” order, I found out that only two of my nine items from my order were available for pickup. Turns out, the other items were being shipped to me. I was confused because I thought I specifically marked those items for pickup, even searching using the app’s filters for items only in my store. The app failed to communicate to me that the items were going to be shipped instead of picked up. So I promptly cancelled the other items in the order right in the store from the app. I even double checked they were cancelled by viewing the details of my order again the seeing a cancelled “x” symbol next to the items. Many hours later today, I get an email from Target that “my order is on the way”, and my card has been charged and the items are being shipped to me. This is really lame; I didn’t want groceries shipped to me, my apartment doesn’t even accept packages so I guess I get to wait in line in the post office in a week to pick up groceries I wanted today. Really lame experience. Turned me off from Target’s app; it’s too bad because I was excited to try out pick up, too 😕. -
The scanner in the app no longer works!
Absolutely terrible Target news!! After several bad experiences in the store this weekend I called corporate to find out why the Target app wasn’t working. Turns out they updated the app and the in-app scanner will now only show online prices making the scanner in the app basically useless! We now have to go back in time to several years ago where you have to bring stuff to the in-store scanners to check a price. The reasoning I was told on the call this weekend was that it would make the shopping experience easier by providing the online price to match to... EVERYTHING in my cart that I scanned was significantly higher online than in store. 😡😡I am so disappointed. The Walmart app allows you to easily switch from the online to in-store price so I don’t understand why Target is taking a step backwards. I am hoping Target will change this back or at least give the option to see both in the app. It’s often times hard to find a working scanner in the store and some remodeled stores don’t even have scanners. Target- please reconsider as this change has made shopping way more difficult! -
Inaccurate availability for items
My trips to Target have gone from 1-2 times a month to 2-3 times a year. Three years ago product availability displayed accurately 99% of the time. That’s all changed; multiple trips I couldn’t find items that showed available. An employee couldn’t even find an item when I asked -I walked away from the items in my cart and out the door. Two months ago after seeing disinfecting wipes show available for three days I finally called and was told “no that’s wrong we don’t have any”. I watched for a few more days and the availability never changed. Today, three different cleaning products show available; I called and the recording said if you’re checking on stock level sorry we can’t help you. I wasted my time driving to the store since none of the 3 items were on the shelf and when I asked the customer service desk she tells me I can call in and to ignore the recording. She also tells me that it shows available for items because they don’t know when they’re getting their delivery. Huh? I didn’t buy anything today and I’m not coming back to Target. -
Shame on Target
Using cartwheel, in the Fishers, Indiana location, which is an entirely inconvenient process, while you want to shop for everything throughout the store, and for the two categories that I came to the store for, the pricing was less online(cartwheel) than in the store. This has happened to me before, but your personnel has always accommodated the pricing at the register. But not today, however, the cashier managers as well as your customer service manager proceeded to inform me that they could not price adjust until tomorrow following corporate direction! They allowed me to order the merchandise online for pickup in store, that I had in my hand, pay for it, and didn’t let me take the merchandise with me. They told me that they would fill the order and notify me by email when ready. I hope you read this out loud and realize how outrageous and discourteous this is. How can consumers, especially loyal ones like myself, not search for better service from other retailers. Please re-evaluate your corporate decisions keeping your integrity and your customers perception in mind. Jeanette Lupinacci -
Horrible experience with an app I once loved...
I attempted to place an order for items I had been eyeing in my cart. I clearly picked a popular time. I attempted to order items that were shown as still in stock for close to 45 min. I attempted to refresh, still no luck. Closed out and left out items intentionally to see if stock was an issue. Now, the error is it can’t be delivered to my zip, my work zip or my parents zip. By the time I called customer service, I was beyond frustrated. Not to mention after over an hour trying to place what I thought was a simple app order, my kids are done with it. I called customer service and was disconnected once, then called again and could not hear at all (and I was calling on a land line, so it was not on my end). After another 20 minutes, I was told the items shown as available were in fact out of stock. And when I ask if I can get the item at this price when it’s back in stock - “if it’s in our 14 day window.” Like that will happen! BEYOND frustrated. Be set-up to handle the demand when you put an offer for 30% off. -
Craptastic
This app has changed so much! I went to review a few items got “See Low Price In Cart” only to find the app can’t even tell me the prices on items I am looking for. Add it to ship now and it gives me a split second option to remove from the cart before I have to go to the cart to delete it and it flashes back to the original search screen. After perusing for a few more items I have to say it is not user friendly, it is impulse buyer friendly and absolutely useless otherwise. I was shown suggestions left and right without recognizing that certain criteria in the search were prerogatives. In other words, I want a WIRELESS headset for and Xbox One, not every available headset for any console or PC. I guess I could turn on every available filter and end up with 1 item that isn’t what I asked for, but the only one they have listed with the criteria I listed. It seems they have basically just kept adding features no one asked for and made it harder to get what you want to find. Thanks, I think I will delete this app again now. 😒
- Wallet lets you load your REDcard directly to the app so you can save even more at checkout when buying gifts for yourself or others
- Cartwheel brings you a comprehensive list of sales, offers and all online promotions, all in one easy-to-access place
- Can’t find what you’re looking for? Locate the item in store with correct aisle numbers, or find it online and have it shipped directly anywhere
