Meh, not great

I use the app to keep a shopping list active as the website is not mobile friendly. However, app not much better. Super slow to load pages and run search function, when toggling back from an item page to your search results will often freeze and just reset to home page forcing you to start search over. Shopping cart doesn’t consolidate items - if I add one and then go back later and add a second cart doesn’t show the item with “2” as the quantity, it lists the item twice.

Bad performance, not a native app

Downloaded the app because the performance of their website is so terrible for me on mobile that I hoped it would be better. It isn’t, scrolling stalls every time a new line of items is about to appear, buttons react seconds after you tap them. It’s very obviously something in the react vein, website wrapped in some wrapper. My one star isn’t necessarily pointed solely at the app because they obviously have engineering issues on web as well, but I don’t get why this can be so bad in 2022. Not like there aren’t tons of other stores running stores of their inventory size that crumple under the constrained resources on mobile. 😕

Poorly designed and extremely sluggish

As bad as their mobile website is, the app is considerably worse. It loads 3-4x slower and responds 10x slower. To go back one screen you have to press the arrow on top left. On so many apps you can swipe right on the left margin and go back one screen. But not on this pathetic app. Navigation is painful and often breaks and bails to the main screen.It's a shame that a store that positions itself with trendy, time-saving, friendly and easy-to-use products has a clunker of a website and a dinosaur of an app. Wonder what Marie Kondo thinks of that?

Obnoxious sign out & overall too slow

The frequencies of sign out is beyond obnoxious, even with Face ID enabled. You’re not a financial institution! Sign outs also result in a loss what I was browsing. Also when I add something to my cart the pop-up screen is too big and it’s hard/slow to respond to my desire to continue shopping. Have left the app several times out of sheer frustration of wanting browse and BUY efficiently. Based on personal experience, I suspect the annoyances of this app is probably hurting sales more than helping. Fixing the sign out frequency should be a small lift engineering-wise that will dramatically improve the CX/UX. For reference, I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Synchrony took my money, no order number

For the second time this year, I have placed an order using the app that I have used for the past 7 years successfully only to have the transaction process on TCS credit card (Synchrony Bank) and TCS have no record of the transaction. It is my birthday month and a 25% off sale is happening, but I won’t be getting jack because Synchrony refuses to remove the transaction so I can do something as an alternative and Container Store doesn’t think I ordered anything at all! I have found many similar products at other stores and will probably not be willing to give Container Store my money if their app is not improved. To say the least…super sucky.

Needs Improvement - Lots of it

This app really is broken. This is the first time I write a review for any app because I am truly frustrated with all the glitches. I created my account, got an email saying to click on the link to verify my email, it proceeded to take me into an endless loop of prompting me to sign in, getting the email, clicking on the link and back again. Then when I went on the app itself (instead of clicking on the link that only created more emails asking for the same exact thing each time), it wouldn’t even allow me to log in.

App Consistently crashes entire Pro 11 Phone

The Container Store app consistently crashes my iPhone Pro 11, running iOS 15.5 (the latest, as of this date), within hours of installation. Not just the app crashes, but the entire phone. I could barely get a text out to friends and family, saying that my phone wasn’t working, before the phone froze for 2 minutes, then had the white-on-black Apple logo screen for another 2 minutes. A friend asked whether I had recently installed any new apps, and I remembered installing this one the previous night. I deleted it, and the problem went away. After both Apple and Container Store both released updates, I decided to try again. Same issue. Here’s hoping the third time’s a charm. Otherwise, this Container Store app is getting permanently deleted.

I love the store, I don’t like ordering

I have had Elfa products for 40+ years, and have moved most of them as much as 4 times. I’ve been happy with store service, installation,support, contactless pickup, ship to home. What has annoyed me is online shopping - not the concept, the mechanics. It is not intuitive to find what I’m looking for, even if I’m only searching Elfa. With the app there seems to be endless scrolling, the setup is for the phone, not the tablet, and I can’t seem to avoid refining the search at least twice. Then I get to checkout, and suddenly there are items unavailable that I must discontinue. I have to search them out (not simple), figure out if ANY are available if I ordered a multiple, then decide if I want the rest of my order. Why can’t I find this out when I first select the item? And why can’t I get info as to when the item will be restocked without launching a separate inquiry? This might be possible with the website on the PC, but not in my Elfa closet on the tablet. Wishlist it is, I suppose.

Has quite a few kinks

I was hoping the app would be more user friendly than the mobile site, but I find it jut as frustrating. The layout for item information is not intuitive, adding items to the cart is tricky, and I find I have to start my search over every time I go back from and individual item’s page. I also get logged out every time I click out of the app, which I find unnecessary; every time I want to check a note or photo on my phone, need to respond to a message, etc., I need to log back in, even if it was only a 10 second diversion. Overall, the app is rather difficult, glitchy, and a disappointment so far.

Possibly one of the worst shopping apps I’ve used

I have learned my lesson and will NEVER use this app in front of a client to show them products. I will always use the website over this app every time. The pop up ‘Oops something went wrong on our end’ shows up every time I use it. I have deleted and reinstalled this app numerous times, but it has NEVER functioned properly throughout a normal product browsing session. I downloaded it shortly after it was launched and it has been a disappointment from the beginning and has never functioned properly. The insider dashboard is always down. It’s almost as if they used a high school kid to develop this app. It’s embarrassing and frustrating!!
