Rack Room Shoes 4+

Don’t waste your time downloading this app. I only downloaded it because the Rack Room site is so bad - it’s soooo slow & freezes up constantly. But the app is even worse. When I opened the app, the screen read “AUTHORIZING” (in the classic Rack Room orange) on top of 20+ rolling lines of weird computer language. When it stopped rolling, nothing happened so I selected “Try Again”. (Spoiler: that’s all there is to the app - a big orange “Try Again” button.) After trying this a few times, a new message appeared: “Multiple attempts to authorize connection to services have failed. Please wait a moment & try again…..Reason provided: Forbidden”. Look, I just wanted to browse some shoes - not gain access to closely guarded shoe secrets. From reading the reviews, this app has had issues for months. How can a company (esp a large one like RR) allow this app to still be offered with their name attached to it?

This app takes waaaaaayyyy too long to load. It has to load up every time you make a filter. Like click womens- Load 20 minutes- then click shoe type - Load 19 minutes- then if you are still trying the app you try filtering to size it’s another 21 minutes. If you get past that then you see the shoes in the gender, type, and size you want. However, once you click on a shoe to see more and try to go back it’s another loading period of 15 minutes. I don’t have time for this app.

I’m only going to wait so long for results to load. I tried another app at the same time and results loaded after a few seconds. The really annoying part is that I downloaded the app because I couldn’t access the website on my browser due to repeated CAPTCHA failures. I’ve used apps and websites before, Rack Room. It’s you, not me. iOS 15.6.1 iPhone 7 Plus. On Safari browser captchas fail. On Chrome the site loaded without a captcha!!!
