Great app overall. Needs more!

by 1-ABRA

I use this more than most any app! Almost daily. The loading is faster. It would be very helpful if the app could load ALL past purchases. This only goes back about 15 purchases, so even the ones you haven't left feedback for don't get a chance for a mobile user to send any. My search history is about Only 10 items. Also I would like to have filter options for my watch list that is only about 130 items. Or just keep them in order from when I add them so I know which is more recently added or preferred vs end time. More options!! Also it doesn't always suggest other searches if I misspell a searchable item. Preferably better to save more of the recent searches conducted. Can not delete previous offers expired or denied, even an item I didn't win stays at the top of my buying list.

Paypal sync has changed, not allowing to upload a new card number. Even once I uploaded a new card number through the PayPal website eBay check out doesn't reflect those other payment options.

Thanks for continuing to better this via feedback!!

eBay app review

by Gregg373

This is a very nice and secure app, the only problem i have is that i am not able to track all my goods that i order and some times the bidding price raise 2 high two fast, one more thing is that eBay automatically delete the items in the buying section of the app and I don't get a chance to leave any feedback about those sellers that took more than a month for there shipment to reach me, that sometimes make me forget about stuff that i ordered specially when they're coming from China, China shipment sometimes take up to two months or more to reach the Caribbean and by that time your not able to leave any comment about the seller, I bought a phone case from the 28th of November and totally forgot about it and I went to the post office and received it on the 19th of February, I normally visit the post office 3times per week every week and every time i check they gave me other stuff that I order from different place, when they gave me the phone case i was shock because I never remember that i ordered it, otherwise i don't have anything bad to say about eBay

Listing a breeze!!! But.........

by M J Vandeven

Listing from this app soooo much faster n easier - probly wouldn't sell half as much if had to list from my pc. But...just a few things....HATE that "send invoice" option not available (pretty basic!!)...when buying I switch to classic site cuz only get "sampling" on mobile .....AND UR FEES ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL....sick of being nickel and dimed to death!!! And having rewards changed....and PayPal fees....and paying eBay % of what we PAID in shipping....u r going to screw up a good thing by being GREEDY!!! If just one strong competitor enters the market ....and charges HALF what you do....your members would drop like flies cuz you keep taking more and more out of sellers pockets and putting it in your own. And that one competitor would be successful overnight. Sellers are praying for an eBay alternative cuz you can't stop ripping them off! QUIT biting the hand that's feeding you!!!!!

Awful... still crashes!!

by frostyfreeze

It is amazing how pathetic this app is now.. every "improvement" made to this new version has degraded its performance further! Knowing this, they wisely removed the option to send feedback or comments on its functionality directly within the app! ;-) The cart is worse than ever: requires loading between pages (8-10 items at a time)... FAIL!! / items no longer link to their master pages i.e. if you put an item from a reseller into your cart, you are stuck on that sellers item page and the only way to change it is to search for the item again.. FAIL!! / you still refuse to bring back the "move to wish list" option for saved items.. FAIL!! / swipe to delete is gone, no pull down to refresh the cart & items take up far to much real estate on the screen / still gets stuck in a loop when you try to go back though pages until it crashes =D & item pages are setup in the most unintuitive fashion possible and stutter on even the most powerful, updated idevices.. NICE!! It is so frustrating I can hardly even stand using it and I use it all the time... please fix these issues, thanks.

Changes need.

by MmamaLlama

*Frequent crashes since recent updates.

*Why are some reviews at the top of listings and on others you have to scroll down to see them?

*Where is notification that an item has been added to my cart? I accidentally purchased double of an item because I was unaware I had clicked twice on the "add to cart" button. I was unable to cancel the second item and now I have to return it.

*Please add an option to add notes to items on Wishlists. I have hundred's of items on multiple Wishlists and having notes would make it easier for me to organize much like a Pin on Pinterest has.

Change it back

by Trevarty

I used to have no issues with this app. It was fine how it was. Now if you click on a product you've searched for and are looking at its page and then accidentally click another tab, you can't go back to the product page. You have to redo your search.

Also fix the reviews so they are how they were before.

No app is perfect is it?

by zencoyote

No app can be everything to all people no more than one car can possibly be. This app will meet most peoples needs for good accurate weather in a decent format. We all visualize & read data differently so to some this app will be ideal & to others not so.

Accuracy seems to vary by area for some reason, not sure why?! For desert regions Weatherbug & Yahoo weather are much more accurate at specific locations but for major metropolitan areas this app is just as good.

I like happy, dynamic & colorful backgrounds for my weather & if they depict the actual weather & time I'm exceptionally happy. There are many other apps way better for that type of presentation. I also find the functionality of this app to be slower than many others, primarily radar. I also get freezes on that function. So for radar, I always use a different app!

If you're a huge Weather Channel fan, I think you will find this app to be at least a 4 star app & be happy. If you are not a tried and true devoted fan, I think you'd find it to be at least a 3.5 or more depending on your likes.

Changing the background

by Kar_Cocoa

I love this app, & have been using it for awhile now. Being able to change the background is pretty cool. However, after the 1st photo I used, it no longer works correctly. Every time I try to change the background, all I get is the same close up & blurred picture, of what looks like a close up of the inside of a camera lens, with blurred snow/ice covering half of the lens. There is a blurred bluish looking sky. I tried 3 times to use one of my own photos, without any success. The background image that showed, no longer updates to a new one. And the one time I tried to get the Weather Channel's picture to show, the same blurred close up of the lens with snow on the outside of the lens, showed instead. Please fix this, as it's difficult to see the weather information when it's covered up by this blurred image, or one with too much detail in it. I'd really appreciate it, if you could.

Horribly inaccurate

by ManWithNoName81

The only use for this app is the radar. It is almost always horribly inaccurate. Examples include it saying that there will be 100% chance of rain for the next four hours, but there not being a cloud in the sky. Another example is how it has often forecast a 0% chance of rain for the following day, and then it pours.

The forecasts are so bad that I was beginning to wonder if I had accidentally put in the wrong city, but no, it is pulling forecasts for my city. I've heard that the forecasts that the weather channel uses are actually 24-48 hours old, which might explain it's inaccuracy.

I got an app for a local news station that provides far more accurate forecasts and will be deleting this one. A shame, because I like everything about this app other than the actual forecasts.

Google Search

by Chezjanae

I am finding the new Google search very frustrating.

1. It appears that I cannot copy links from the search bar and add them to an email. If someone me to send them a link, I can copy the link, but it isn't hot. What am I doing wrong?? Or is that just the way the new app is?

2. On my iPad devices, it saves so many old searches, even searches that were several days ago. These only show when I am on anger page. What good is it that they are still open? I can find them on History if I want. Otherwise, they might be "running" which I don't want. Does anyone know how to turn that feature off?

3. I am struggling to find "driving directions" on the new google maps , which is what I mainly want. Yesterday it took me 10 minutes of fiddling until suddenly, directions cue is there. It should be an option on the first page, but isn't. Why?!?

4. Everyday I find myself frustrated with one or more of these new "features". If anyone can help, I would be grateful. otherwise, google, I am giving you a "2".

Tired of Volume Issue

by RayAllDay

your app needs to please let go of the audio so I can change my own volume without leaving the app. I have radio apps that can do this better than google; an app that is primarily for playing audio lets you adjust your main volume when not playing anything. you have had too long to get this right.

it would also help to not slow down launch, else I end up using safari instead!

Location Service Failure

this app wants to keep location service icon in the status bar the entire time it is installed. they added an built-in option to turn off the google now ability to check location in an update, which is welcome but misses the point. if you can't work google now on iOS without the phantom status bar icon, you can't have google now on iOS.

don't care if it is coarse or fine, GPS or not, stop it. my battery life results are my own and I don't care to spend hours testing your claims that it isn't affected by this app.

Great app but needs consistent features across the world

by Hobbsilla

I've used Google Search in the US, Canada and Colombia now and the search feature works fine in all three. The real difference is in Google Now cards. I get fantastic recommendations in North America but all I get are the weather and occasional popular destinations I'm standing near. If Google opened up Google Map maker in Colombia, along with more countries, this would greatly improve the quality of Google Now cards and help with public transportation recommendations.

Love it, but I have SOME NEW IDEAS😊

by Kenzie frenzy 222

I like kik alot...I use it everyday, but there's some things I'd like to add. The chat bubble colors are kinda boring and not very bright...I think it would be cool if you made more bright (neon) chat bubble colors...or it would be cool if you could set your own costom chat bubble colors...like have an option where instead of the colors that are already there, you could slide a little dot to the color you want your bubble colors...and also it would awesome if you could change the color of the bubble who your texting and yours (instead of a color and silver). Another idea is that you could have themes or something when your chatting...instead of a boring white background...or like someone below me said, set pictures as your chatting background to kind of make kik a little more fun. I think you should consider my idea so that kik users can customize and decorate their kik with their own preferances to make kik more fun to chat with😊😊😊

Notification issues

by Bluevet57

I love kik! I use this app anytime I meet new people from social networks. I'd always go between my iPhone and iPod 5th Gen, but recently I had opened the app on my iPod while I was in mid conversation with someone on the app on my phone and all of the message notifications had flipped so whenever I would receive a message from someone the notification would show up on my iPod and not my phone. I can still respond to the messages on my phone now but I have to go into the app and constantly check for new messages and I do not want to have to do that all the time. I tried to simply delete the app off of my iPod but I still don't get notifications on my phone anymore. Can you update the app or something so I can get my notifications for kik back please I'd sure appreciate it.

Delivered, but didn't receive it -_-

by Anani(:

Ok so my boyfriend & I have had this probably, he doesn't receive some of my kiks it still says "D" even after he replied after to other messages with me & I don't receive some of his. This is difficult I hate it cause Kik & Skype are the only ways I get to talk to my boyfriend while he's deployed. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. Kik is so much faster for us to communicate he's made another social network for back up if anything happens. Oh another suggestion please don't delete other old messages I love to re-read out conversations when I don't get to talk to him.. Just a suggestion.

Wonderful but there is always room for improvement! :)

by wolfgirl669508

I completely adore Netflix. It took about a year to get my parents to finally agree and it is amazing. I love it. I don't have many problems with Netflix as a whole, I think it's absolutely awesome that you put Pokemon on! (Thank you so much!) Though I do wish there was more anime. There is a limited selection for anime geeks like myself, though I greatly adore the ones already on, so thankyou! Now, my concerns are all about the app itself. It is somewhat hard to use. The layout is good but, as an example, when you get to the home-screen to play a video, it's hard to use when the screen is locked on portrait mode. Sometimes it takes 3-5 taps to get a video to play as well. Overall, please try for a new layout or something to make this even better! :)

Best Thing

by RahimSh

Netflix is the best thing that has ever happened to viewing entertainment. No commercials, watch what you want and when you want. This App has significantly improved since the first release, and they keep improving it. One option I would like to see added is the ability to view and select episodes while watching one, and the ability to skip a episode that I have already seen. The reviewers here need to stop giving it the lowest possible score just because they are not satisfied due to only one issue they have with it. Please be realistic. Thanks.

Meh

by Mira-sama xox

It's alright, but still needs to be improved. The messages arrive incredibly slowly. A contact sends me a message and I receive it thirty minutes later. I send a message, and it says "pending" for thirty minutes. It's quite frustrating when the message is urgent enough for the person to repeat the message several times.

Also, it glitches often and I have to restart Skype whenever it does.

I know this is the app, but I just wanted to comment on how Skype on the desktop does not seem to be updating the messages. I am SURE that there should be new messages, but Skype only shows the messages from months ago. My contacts say they have sent me several new messages yet Skype says that I have NO new messages AT ALL.

That should be fixed as well. I've tried several things to try and fix it on my own, but none appear to work.

I used to love Google Chrome

by Atheistic 1

The iOS version of Chrome has so many issues. When trying to click on 'buttons' on some websites, nothing happens. When trying to type on some websites, the keyboard suddenly drops off, causing me to accidentally click on 'buttons' on that web page located where the keyboard was, which in turn causes me to have to hit the 'back' button on Chrome to get back to the we page I was originally at just so I could start typing all over again. We only have about 15 seconds or so at a time to type before the 'drop off' happens. This is absolutely ridiculous! Safari is much more stable, although it has it's share of issues as well.

Better than Safari

by Christopher0

The app is pretty solid overall. It's unfortunate Chrome can't take advantage of Nitro JavaScript Engine due to security concerns. But that's not googles fault. The app is guaranteed to crash on a few mobile sites like redbox. But other than a few minor hiccups, everything seems to work well.

Still some bugs.

by Wrathofthespen

The crashes are very little now. I would actually like to see an improvement to the full screen where the top bar (time, battery life, signal) is not visible. Also Google images doesn't allow the slideshow view anymore. Needs background app refresh like Safari.
