Rakuten Customer Insights

1. If you're lucky enough to be shopping on a website that works, it will take you 20+ min just to check out (I've missed out on more than one coupon code because it took me too long to checkout and the code expired).I would have gave 5 stars, but the app is incredibly slow... still.

2. I was just shopping and couldn't check out, by the time I went back to Rakuten the offer dropped from 6% to 3%!!!!! This has been happening alot lately.

3. Why bother with an app if you are just being shoved to a site that is not made to work on a phone? Because of this, I seldom use unless I know I have at least 2 hours to waste on one short shopping list.

4. Not really sure if I will bother keeping.It says I'm logged in but when I click on my account to verify that the shopping trip I just completed registered, it gives me an error "uh oh...technical difficulties...try again later".

5. Since it's become Rakuten the cell phone app is so slow and glitchy I've given up on it.

6. It's not my phone nor my OS it's the APP.This app makes the app you're shopping at very slow, or it just kicks you out and you have to start all over.

7. I thought this problem would have been long taken care of, but nope! Years later & still just as painfully slow!I had a 5 star review originally.

8. But, anyway, I love everything else!Terrible on cell phone! I signed up during transition from Ebates to Rakuten.

9. Overall the app is frustrating and very disappointing.I haven't had issues with the things I've purchased not showing up like other users.

10. Use the website on a computer & you'll be fine!Consistently glitchy and super slow.

11. USually it's when I'm trying to pay and the site makes me select either my state or type of credit card via a dropdown box.
