Macy's 4+

Hackable? Perhaps...

So I am a big Macys shopper, and I loved this app from when I first installed a year or two ago. Very convenient, between my list and my cart, it was easy to select and move items. Loved the search, really truly loved this app. When it was updated to include a dashboard recently I was thrilled. It called up recent activity and orders for me without my having to login. But to actually place an order login was required. One evening i placed like 10 pairs of boots in my cart for consideration. When I came back the next morning to narrow it down and place the order, my cart was empty. Strange. I clicked recent orders and found an order had been placed that morning. Hmmm. The order was for a $200 pair of sneakers ( not my style or size) and shipped to an address in LA (I'm in NY). THEN I noticed they'd changed the billing address, email and phone number. Seems like there was some back door vulnerability in the dashboard feature that the developers missed. App deleted. Sorry Macys. Fix that and I'll be back.

Categories

I love Macy’s as is always my go to store for clothing, shoes and decor. However, I have to say I don’t like a change they made in their app. When you go to your Favorites it used to have the icon of each category I had created, ex: Kitchen, Gym Clothes, shoes, winter Coats, Purses, Dresses etc. so I will click in any of the categories and it will show me the items I put in that category. Well, now with the update it doesn’t do that. First it show me category “kitchen” and I have to scroll down to all those items to see the next one like for example “Gym clothes “ then I keep scrolling thru all the items to go to the next one. This is troublesome. Let’s say I want to see all the shoes I had like, I have to scroll down my other 5 categories to see the shoes list. By the time I finally see them I am annoyed. I think this was done on purpose so i am “forced” to scrolling down in each category and see all the items I have put in my favorites and maybe decide to put them in my cart to buy them. Believe me I don’t have time for that. If I know I want to buy shoes then let me click on the icon I create for that category and then show me only that. Don’t force me to scroll down thru all my categories. Please change this back as it was before an icon that you rename with the category and when I click on it to show me all the item I put as favorite under that category. Until then 2 stars

Better than website at least

I decided to register for my upcoming wedding at Macy’s and after the initial registering online through the website, had nothing but issues and site glitches. The pages won’t load, and even when you do get it to work, when you click on the next page of your search nothing happens. So you might have 50 pages in a search but are limited to one page of it to select an item. So I then decided to download the app, thinking it’s gotta be easier there. Kind of... but not really. When you add things to your registry and tell it the number of items you want, sometimes it doesn’t even add them at all. If it does add them, it’ll add one to the registry, not the 4 you told it to. When you go to the registry, you can’t click on the registry item and easily change color options from there. You have to go back through the search process and re-find the item and re-select it that way. At one point I considered canning the whole registry at Macy’s because of how clunky the app AND website are to use and navigate. But instead just stuck with the very few items I had on there and will not be adding any more.

FIX THIS! Most people don’t have time, patience or the will to try to navigate your clunky and glitch filled website and app. At least have ONE reliable self service site.... wasted a lot of my time.
