JOANN - Shopping & Crafts 4+

I love this app, but 1 little hiccup

I love the app, it works perfectly on my iPhone 8. It shows me the balance on hand of items they have in the store so I can make sure they have the items I want before I stop in. (Which as been accurate every time except once, but I was told the item I was looking for was still being unloaded from their shipment and to come back in a few days) My only critique are the Joann smile reward coupons, I had a $10 off a $10 purchase and as soon as I saw it I ran to Joann’s to stock up on some art supplies, used my coupon and everything went smoothly. A few days later I check my app again and I had another $10 off a $10 purchase! I headed to Joann’s and grabbed some more art supplies! I pulled up my coupon at checkout and the cashier told me my coupon had already been redeemed. The way she talked to me made me feel like I was trying to do something seedy. I wasn’t trying to pull one over on the cashier, I just thought after I used my coupon the first time it would have dropped out of my phone, I mean it had been several days.
Other then that super awkward interaction, I’m a huge fan. 🤗

Leaves much to be desired!

The app is really not user friendly. When searching for something specific, either nothing comes up or 100’s of items come up which may or may not include what I’m looking for. Searches load so slowly and on some items, you get only partial pictures of the object! Letting the consumer use landscape instead of portrait might actually fix this! Every time I have a $$’s off coupon for spending X amount of money at JoAnns, it disappears from my phone app when I walk into the store. I refuse to use the free JoAnns WiFi because even stranger things happen to my iPhone and the coupons in the app, so I stay on my cell signal. Now, I waste ink and print off the coupon or just ignore the coupon. It’s only good for a few days anyway! I was hopeful that when I updated the JoAnns app that it would finally allow it to go to landscape. No, it doesn’t. Why not? It’s a simple thing! For iPad or tablet app users, wouldn’t it be nice to give us a choice? I rarely shop at JoAnns anymore. Usually it’s a must have trip to the store. And I won’t go if I don’t have a coupon. You’re pricing yourself out of the fabrics and notions market. I’d much rather shop at a locally owned fabric/quilt shop if I’m paying the same prices for quality fabric that I pay at JoAnns for slightly less quality in some cases!

Your app’s cart has been difficult

I love being able to pick up my online order at the store, but lately it has been difficult to remove items from the cart as it continued to show the items I removed still remained in the cart. I thought maybe if I just continued shopping/adding/editing the cart it would eventually correct itself, but no! As I tried to check out the cart just continued to add up and up! I deleted app then redownloaded the app several times, but the cart stayed the same. The same problem persisted. I eventually had to go into the store, and try make my purchases in person. I tried to tell the cashier this, as I was trying to express to her that I was trying to shop online because the price of an item I wanted was $5 less online than it was at the store and I wanted to use the 15% off entire purchase coupon as well which I understood was for online purchases. But I could not use the online price nor the coupon bc the cashier insisted they were exclusive online price and coupons. She did not seem to want to work with me and understand that I could not do my purchase online, so I left without my any of my craft supplies. And now there is a 25% off shop online pick curbside coupon that once again I cannot use! My phone setting is at automatic update software and so is my App Store. It is not my phone’s fault. It’s your app!! Joann’s please fix your app!!!
