I installed the app thinking the search capability would be better than the browser. I was wrong. There are so few filters on appliances such as refrigerators to make it almost useless. For instance, on the browser, I could filter for counter depth. In the app I could not (the browser filters though cut off at too low a max price with no way to change it). I'm pretty disappointed. If I can't figure it a way to get what I need not easily, I will cancel my membership and demand a refund.

App does not appear to allow me to copy any text -- which makes it sort of tricky when trying to search for a product with a really long model number. Of course, the "shop" button totally works fine. However, some of us believe strongly in keeping a clear separation between CR and retail profit. 🤷‍♂️

I recently dropped my print subscription, assuming digital would be a functional substitute. I was wrong. Filtering options for ratings do not match the key product features described in the articles. (I experienced this with the headset article). Much information in the print edition (for example, detailed cell plan info) is not available online. I rate this app as Not Recommended.
