Half the reason I use Amazon is there web app doesn't suck. If I go to Walmart's website it will be ugly and slow and I'm not confident it will work well on my phone. Why can't Walmart get this right? I'm fine buying from Walmart and having them store my CC info like Amazon does, it's only that poor web app experience holding me back.
Maybe someone can make an Amazon competitor that is just a decent shopping app. I don't care if your store only has shoes, if I see it and think "oh, this is another one of those non-shitty-web-app stores" I'm likely to come back.

- abawany 5y agoAgree. While Walmart's search can be a little silly still and selecting the retailer as Walmart.com every time gets old (esp. since it moves around), the search is light years better than the trashfire that Amazon.com serves me. Also, it is nice that Walmart.com emails actually list the items that I ordered instead of just the total order amount: the latter ensures that I must go to the site or app to determine what I ordered vs. searching my emails. Ordering from Amazon.com has been a pain for me for a long time, from the prompting to join Prime on every checkout, the reqd. selection of non-prime free shipping on every checkout, the content-free order emails, and etc. I contacted them specifically about the email issue but they pretty much replied with 'thanks for the info.' Most of my orders are now local, Target, or Walmart. If the latter 3 don't have it, then I reluctantly fire up Amazon and hate my life a little bit for it.
