Target Registry

Pros: Interface is great, love the appearance, is easy to use, can mark items as purchased, can scan items in store directly in the app, can mark “most wanted items” (an especially nice feature!). I never used the checklist feature because this was for my second baby and I did have a lot already, but it is nice how i could check things off that I already had. I also like how it links to suggested products if you click on a checklist item - very intuitive. Cons: Cannot see if an item is in stock at local Target stores (although you can see if it is carried in stores), doesn’t link to Target app. It’s also not very clear where to find the menu for returns/exchanges - a customer service associate had to show me. In spite of these few cons, I still have 5 stars because Target rocks. 😃

I love the idea and the purpose for this app. The system is very easy to use, the ability to scan the barcode in the store is very handy, and there is a plethora of reviews for each product. The one MAJOR drawback is that the app seems to have a limited capacity for loading and displaying images. I’ll get about halfway down a section of products and the images will stop displaying. When you click on the product to view the images and description, the image is a stock photo of a grey gift with the Target logo on it. I am using this app to register for my first baby. I don’t know a lot about the products, so seeing pictures to compare items is SO IMPORTANT. I am getting incredibly frustrated with the lack of images. The only way I have found to fix the issue is to close out the app entirely and reload it. However, this is time consuming and causes me to lose my place on the registry app. I have to go back through the shopping menu and scroll down halfway through the cribs to pick up where I left off, and even after that there is no guarantee that the app will not stop loading at almost the same place I was before. The app seems to work better on my iPhone than my iPad, but either way it is really unreliable with photos. I am anxiously awaiting the fix to this very frustrating bug with the system.

We downloaded this app after we had set up our registry using a computer. It’s helpful to reference the names of items we put on our registry and see which gifts have been purchased. However, I think a couple of improvements could be made! I have checked in so many places on the app, and cannot find an easy way to just click on a registry item, and be brought to the target page to see the item directly and access live information (e.g. if it’s still in stock, available in certain stores, etc.) The “shop my registry” feature is hidden in the side panel, and then I still have to find the specific item I was looking at. Could be much easier! Also, there is a search bar - but it searches all target items! I would love to be able to quickly search for an item ON my registry - instead of having to scroll all the way through! Finally, there’s no way to reveal the names of keep track of thank you’s through the registry app (that I can see!)

I only registered with Target to make it easier on my shower guests and I have found the app and registering in general very frustrating. As my shower date grows closer I’ve noticed people weren’t buying my “most wanted” selections and I guessed it was because most of them are online only, not in stores. Plus as it’s getting closer to my shower date less people are going to have things shipped so I decided to switch around some items so they can be found in stores. First, even when I filter my searches to only show items available in-store it still shows online only items. Second, after reading descriptions and reviews on several types of one item and finally deciding on one it immediately says “item no longer available” in my registry. Why did allow me to add it then?? This happened with 4 different diaper bags today... I’m beginning to worry I won’t get the items I truly need because too many things aren’t available in stores. Guess I’ll have to physically go to the store and register for some items. I am wishing now I had registered with more than one place..

I was so excited to start our wedding registry at target! We downloaded this app and I love the different tabs, the checklist, tips, etc. I also thought the “most wanted” and “leave a note” options were great. And it’s been really helpful to see things organized to their category, such as “kitchen”, “outdoors,” etc, and has given it a really pleasing look. My issues is that the app keeps getting glitchy where it sometimes will show me a whole category of items, sometimes it will only show me 10 of the 250 items to view. Other times it will show that there isn’t an image available, but if I exit out of the app and go back in, then it shows up fine. But then I move to the next category or search and it’s not showing images again. It’s made creating the registry difficult and even more time consuming. Hoping an update could fix this! Otherwise, love it!
