The Walmart app and the website itself are absolutely horrendous. You'd think I was using a Windows 98 PC and a dialup modem every time I try to use it I swear. No idea how it's so shit and I don't think I've ever used a less optimized website in my life beyond overloaded Lemmy instances.

Just use a browser. Amazon app is the only one that can arguably be justified. Even then, I know im trading my soul. Fight me, guys

I use it too, but came here to list it as my stupidly slow app also. You literally own AWS, how can a search for "Black T-shirt" take 40 seconds to load?! If you're going to be an evil corporate monopoly at least be quick about it.

What does the Amazon App have that the website doesn't? I've just been using the website, now I'm wondering what I'm missing out on

The browser version for Walmart is honestly probably even worse than the app. I don't know how they made a website so terrible.

So many restaurant/retail apps are so terrible (and they’re obviously just React wrappers running a bunch of bullshit) that half the time I reach for my laptop and wonder why I even have a smartphone.
