I only downloaded this app because the website is literally unusable (won't even load most of the time). Unfortunately, the app isn't better. I want to upgrade my legacy membership, but get a server error when I try to log in. I searched "planner" and got ZERO results. I love the B&N store, but this is just ridiculous for a modern business.

This slow, buggy app has one of the worst search and browse interfaces that I have seen in all of e-commerce. Search is fuzzy by default with no way to enable an actual keyword search or search only sale items. Results are cluttered with items that are unavailable in-store or online, with no apparent way to remove them. Filtering, sorting, and viewing options are all very limited. Customer service via chat is rude & unprofessional and would rather end the chat than admit an error and apologize.

I would give 5 stars, but I've been a member with Barnes & Noble for some time now and since the app has updated (assuming) I can't log into my profile. I can't even click on the icon to even be able to view my profile because it's positioned so far up into the top right corner of my phone screen that it's hidden under the info (ie., battery status, signal bars, device noise, etc) that it is unavailable to be selected. Not only that, but the website times out for running so slow (tested).
