I really wanted to like the Temu app — the prices can be tempting, and the selection is huge. But after using it for a while, it’s clear that the experience is frustrating and borderline deceptive.First of all, the number of notifications is absolutely overwhelming. You get bombarded with constant alerts, most of which are just clickbait trying to pull you back into the app.Worse than that, the promotions feel like a scam. You often see banners with products advertised at unbelievable prices — but the moment you click on them, the item is suddenly “sold out.” What’s even more suspicious is that if you search for the same item without the promotion, it magically appears and is available to buy… at a higher price, of course.It feels like a bait-and-switch tactic. These so-called “flash deals” or “limited offers” are clearly just a way to get you to open the app. You can’t simply go in and buy something — you have to navigate through popups, fake discounts, games, and countdowns. It’s tiring and manipulative.Temu could be a great app if it focused more on a clean shopping experience and less on psychological tricks. But in its current state, it feels more like a gamified scam than a real marketplace.
