Great store, great customer service, great reps, great deals, app just sucks. Takes forever to load, takes long to add things to cart, long to remove from cart, if it's minimized then you need to restart because it goes black. Honestly kind of surprised from a company I know goes the extra mile for their customers. Needs some serious backend maintenance.

Sweetwater is the only place I will buy any musical equipment that I even care the smallest amount about. This review has nothing to do with their customer service, product selection, or shipping times...all of which are excellent. However, this app downright stinks. Case-in-point: I was shopping for guitar picks. Specifically I wanted several different thicknesses of the Dunlop Tortoises. I add the 0.50s and am taken to my cart. When I go back, the product page fails to load. Restart app. Etc

I love Sweetwater but this app is the worst. It works correctly 1 in 5 times. It is almost always frozen. Almost every time I open it the only thing you can see is Sweetwater at the top and your shopping cart. Search rarely works. The only thing that ALWAYS works is to go in the cart, assuming there was that rare occasion when you could search for something and put it in. And you can checkout. I installed and uninstalled at least 5 times and it still doesn't work.
