## Review summary

Users generally view the app as good, but repeatedly cite three major issues: cart/checkout problems (items vanishing, inaccessible cart, unreliable payments), poor navigation and user experience, and difficulty locating causes and events (My Causes not showing events; need to search Explore Causes). These recurring themes represent the most mentioned points across reviews.

### Pros

- Generally a good app

### Cons

- Shopping cart/checkout problems: items can't be accessed in the cart, items disappear, and there are multiple checkout buttons leading to unreliable payments
- Difficult navigation and overall poor user experience: hard to find items, confusing categories, and not user-friendly
- Poor discoverability of causes/events: My Causes often doesn’t show events and users must manually search Explore Causes; events/fundraisers are hard to locate
