## Review summary

User reviews generally praise the Academy app for easy item discovery via filters, straightforward checkout, and accessible deals and store-card discounts. However, recurring issues drag down the experience: frequent sign-in and 2FA failures; trouble with payment methods (no Apple Pay/PayPal and difficulty adding/removing cards); and a clunky, slow, or unresponsive interface. A few also note inconsistent online vs in-store deals or loyalty behavior. Overall, the app works for many, but authentication, payment, and performance problems are the most mentioned negatives.

### Pros

- Easy item discovery with filters and search
- Easy checkout and straightforward shopping flow
- Access to deals and store-card discounts (e.g., 5% extra discount)
- Generally positive, useful app for shopping

### Cons

- Frequent sign-in and 2FA authentication problems
- Payment method friction and limited options (no Apple Pay/PayPal; trouble adding/removing cards)
- Clunky, slow, or unresponsive performance at times
- Inconsistent online vs in-store deals and loyalty behavior
