Guitar Center Customer Insights

1. There were many other issues, and all in all, I'd say I installed this app, figuring it would make it easier to search Guitar Center on my phone, but the exact opposite happened.The app constantly crashes and navigating the search feature is an absolute nightmare.

2. Battery Saver mode messes with this app, as images for the daily sales won't appear, nor will any other tab (Account, Shop, etc.). Typing in searches and navigating the selection parameters when using Sort & Refine also need serious work.

3. One of the times I did manage to get into the app to search for something, the search feature kept opening and closing my phones keyboard and never ended up searching for the product.

4. the app also closes at random, but seems to happen most when backing out of a search, then entering a new product, it'll stall for about 15 seconds then close.

5. When you search for something it pulls up all the product listings but then immediately brings up the keyboard and search window.

6. photographs of products are ideal; what you see on your screen is completely on point...the very definition of "what you see is what you get." Unlike most app versions of websites this one is optimized for a smooth experience AND retains all the features of the web browser version/desktop site.

7. The images of products take a long time to load, and if you want to sort them from lowest price to highest price, the option never loads to be able to sort it.

8. If you press back on your phone or on the website it doesn't take you back to the listings it takes you back to the HOME PAGE.

9. When I try to search for a specific product, the app just crashes.

10. With that, often when I clicked on an item, there would be no image shown, despite when searching on my phone's web browser, I could find the same item with a picture.

11. Rather, the home page is just the guitar center website, geared toward shopping.
