Verdict
Kroger's app has a lot of coupons and loyalty features packed in, but reviewers consistently describe it as buggy and confusing, with updates that make things worse rather than better.
Best for
A Kroger shopper who mainly wants digital coupons and fuel points and is willing to tolerate a clunky, occasionally broken app to get them.
Dealbreaker
Reviewers report frequent crashes, features like fuel points and pickup tracking going dark or unusable for days, and a confusing interface that got worse with recent updates.

Verdict. Target's app is easy to use for browsing and checkout, but some reviewers flag order tracking removal, cart-based location tracking, and confusing upsells toward Circle membership at checkout.
Best for. Someone who already shops at Target regularly and wants a straightforward way to browse deals, check store stock, and use self-checkout.
Dealbreaker. Some reviewers report the app tracks their movements via the cart and pushes a paid Circle membership at checkout even when a deal looked free, which will bother anyone wary of retail tracking or surprise recurring charges.

Verdict. Klarna is a buy-now-pay-later app that people find easy to use for splitting purchases, but its customer service track record is rough, with several reviewers describing unresolved approval issues and unhelpful support.
Best for. Someone who already shops at stores that accept Klarna and wants a simple way to split payments, not someone who anticipates needing support if something goes wrong.
Dealbreaker. Multiple reviewers report being denied or stuck with no path to resolution when they contact customer service, and a couple mention notification spam.

Verdict. Capital One Shopping automates coupon-hunting and price comparisons, but when something goes wrong, reviewers describe a support system that's essentially unreachable.
Best for. Someone who wants automated coupon-clipping running in the background and won't need a human to fix anything if it misfires.
Dealbreaker. Customer support is thin: reviewers report AI-only email replies, no phone contact, and unresolved billing or coupon issues left hanging.
