While I have been using this for years, by necessity, it has always had issues. Occasionally the issues are major. The worst is that, when you tell it to remember your device, it NEVER actually does (not on Android, at least), thus forcing you to get a security email passcode everytime you want to look at your Red card account. Worse still, every once in a while, the passcode email just will not send. It claims it does, but it never actually arrives.
NEGATIVE 5 stars. My purchase history disappeared. The app is saying I have never purchased anything. This is a recent issue. I thought if I updated the app, it would self correct. Nope. Gone. Everything is gone. On top of that, annoyingly, almost every time I open the app, it requires a password. Even if I had the app open, was actively using it, and the screen timed out.
Bug! If you click add to cart, click the item to modify the quantity, go back to search, the cart status button goes back to add to cart. Also, changing the order quantity requires way too many taps. Should be able to edit that once it's in your cart or at least without tapping again when changing between drive up and pick up in store. Not user friendly.
Incredibly frustrating app. Search does not work - just hangs. I ordered an item, and need a different size, but when I enter the style, or any other code from the tag, nothing happens - search just hangs. Scrolling through pages and pages of options is just frustrating and making me look elsewhere for the same product. Addendum - it's the same on the website. I had to use Google to find the item on the Target website.
Whatever you are doing to "fix" your app, please stop. It seems every update recently to fix bugs creates even more issues, particularly with Target Circle. It won't always save selections, and even when I can get it to save the selection, it then subsequently deletes them all. If you are trying to get people to stop using Circle by frustrating them to no end, then you're doing a great job. I love Target, and used to love this app, but beyond frustrated with it lately.
My Target Circle offers are not saving to My List. I've been through the list twice, added well over 25 offers and when I check my list they aren't there. This needs to be addressed ASAP. I've been using this app for quite awhile without any problems, but something must've changed recently to cause this issue as I see there are others that have reported the same issue as well. Sounds like a bad update recently went out. Please fix this issue ASAP!
Target has started hijacking your searches in the app. It is literally impossible to search for a lot of things because it will redirect you to a page of promoted items for a certain category when you search for certain words. Don't even have an option to say, this is not what I want and to show the right search results.Absolutely unacceptable. Also sorting circle offers by discount is completely broken. If these two issues weren't present it might be 5 stars, but these are two major problems.
Great app, easy to use, and user-friendly. One area of improvement: Please add the ability to choose backup items. It is always frustrating when you wait 20+ minutes for an order to process only for multiple items to be out of stock. Definitely wastes a lot of time. Other than that, great app. 👍
I honestly love the app overall and its ease of use and the interface. It is apparent there was a lot of UX research and QA done. My only issue which happens intermittently for the last few years... is when you use the pickup option and want to choose another in stock store, I would get Network Error Tap here to try again (which does nothing) I have deleted cache , cleared data, Uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail (did this as well for an Google services). Otherwise great app
I enabled the option in the app to get cash back, but the cashier did not give me any. I added two gift cards to the app and scanned it at the self-checkout. My Target Red Card was charged for the full amount. Customer service was unable to fix it. They couldn't even get a return to work. There is no way to share a receipt from the app. When viewing in-store receipts in the app, sometimes items will just show as "Missing Item Info", not even showing an amount paid.
Money saving fatures that went away: 1. It used to have a feature offering ALTERNATE suggestions when a scanned item wasn't currently on Circle promotion 2. Deals for a scanned item would show and be added automatically, now I have to tap on the item and add it manually 3. My least favorite change: in Circle, I used to be able to sort the deals by discount in descending order but now it's randomly sorting in what appears to be in no chronological order. It's random!
Hate to give a bad review when the app worked fine for a long time but this latest update wont allow you to see where an item is in stock near you. You just get an error message that says "Network error, tap here to try again." Ive tried force closing the app and reinstalling and it still is happening. Please fix this bug immediately. I use this feature constantly so it not working is a huge inconvenience.
The app used to be amazing. But something happened and now my circle offers aren't saving. It doesn't matter how many times you restart the app, they won't save. They show they are, but then when ypu go to view your list, they're gone. Sometimes you can't add them at all. Pleasw fix asap!
Really inconvenient that with the app, there is no option for baby registry(which is what i needed when i doenloaded it), not even a wedding registry which I will also need ASAP. Please. If the feature is on the site, put it in the app too. Too much extra to do on a little phone with the app. PLEASE make it convenient and reliable. Then I will give a better rating. WalMart, I have the same issue. Giving a similar review for that one next. Thank you kindly!
Newest update freezes the app while writing reviews! I always seem to have review issues. For instance, all the photos are uploaded sideways and the text defaults to capitalizing every word which seems odd and unnecessary. I also wish the photos you upload via the app were better quality. If I add one in a review on my laptop, it's not an issue.
Target app, specifically the Target Circle part, is not working properly. When selecting the discounts they either do not show up in my wallet or won't apply to items that are listed as eligible. Also, if they are in my wallet at checkout (in store) the discounts don't go through after scanning the barcode. I always check to make sure the items I have selected are eligible. I then have to have a store employee manually add the discounts after they confirm the discounts are eligible.
The only bad part of this app is that it makes it way easier to spend all my money at Target. But seriously, Target's app is so innovative and makes the experience so seamless. The drive-up experience is on a whole other level than any other store and the app is a big reason why. I also love that I can use the app when I'm in the store to scan items and make sure I get a price match if things are cheaper online or to find Cartwheel deals.
Gift card offers are broken. Bar scanner works depending on the lighting in the store. Stocking info is usually not current when ordering. Have to read the fine print to understand some of the offers, which is odd for an app that wants you to shop physically inside the store, when it's convenient.
I can no longer even use the app. Placed an order fine this morning, but now the app won't let me move forward without setting my store, which is already set, but it won't let me close that page to use the app. I couldn't inform the store when I was on my way or when I arrived for drive up. This is the last straw after several other previous issues with the app, every time you update it to supposedly "fix" it, nothing gets fixed and you just make it worse. I'll be shopping elsewhere from now on.
Really annoying to add, remove and "save for later" items in the cart. And Target has too many conditions for their pmotions that forces you to add/remove stuff from the cart and choose between shipping and in-store pickup. App has a lot of problems loading, so there's a lot of delays.
Its ok, i dont like how it shows you items that aren't even available in your local store even though ive tried to filter it to that selection and have already chosen the pick up at store option, so obviously ill only want to see whats available to be picked up. And a new issue im having as of tonight is when im trying to clip digital coupons in the circle offers it says preview unavailable to see any specific items that are eligible for the offer, making it frustrating & pointless.
The app is great, except the manage Red Card section is broken, and keeps locking up. It's disappointing that they don't fix this so people can reliable check their balance for their store card. Besides that, it's the best app I've used for shopping at stores. You can scan items, find what's in stock, and it makes checking out effortless, you just scan your in-app barcode, and select pay with wallet, and you get a receipt. A perfect example of the ideal store app.
