Pros: a clean layout with strong filters, a functional in-app review system, and useful features to track gear via saved searches. Cons: flaky UX, post-update login/saved-search issues, unreliable shipping/tracking, price/inventory mismatches with in-store listings, and intrusive notifications. Overall, the app has useful shopping capabilities but reliability and parity with the website need improvement.
