Lulz Barista's must hate you

I forgot how idiotic reviewers can be even when an app is very clear in its description of what it can/can't do -- so I'll buy your explanation...
I hope you're right, and they eventually fold the functionality into the one app.
Yeah - you do.
I almost always order something extra -- usually soy milk but also syrups sometimes. It adds up after a while! So having a registered card is nice to not have to bother with that...
This is all well and good, but...
I'm still waiting for this:
This never happened except for New York, Seattle and San Francisco. At the beginning of this year I thought it was finally going to happen here in Los Angeles; I would see the Starbucks logo in my iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on the iPhone when I walked into a Starbucks (it just wouldn't show what was currently playing) but now that logo doesn't even show up any more. It's as if they just scrubbed the project.

Pity... not available in Canada yet.
As the title says... us Canucks are screwed on feature/app availability one more time.

I hate carrying cards in my wallet. The basics like credit, debit, and id are fine but memberships, club cards, and gift cards get bulky fast.
This app sounds great for Starbucks but I would quickly fill my phone with one for Starbucks, one for groceries, and one for gas, as they are released.
It would be nice if the iPhone interface allowed for sub-menus of apps. Click Cards, and then pick the store you are at. Likewise, click Games, pick from your games. Much more organized.

I downloaded both from the US store. The main app works great in the UK and locates stores near me in the UK. I guess that means it should be released in the UK soon. However the card app does not work with non US cards although it does log on to my account.
Like everything in life, not everything works for everyone. Obviously you have no need for a card, but, personally, I find it very convenient. When I go on my morning walk I don't carry a wallet, just a Starbucks card and my house key. Recently they came out w/ a mini-card that fits on your key ring. Once I work through all my cards I've rec'd as gifts I'll get one of those.
I thought the same thing. Very disappointing b/c no way am I going to clutter up my iPhone w/ TWO SB apps, especially when both are of marginal use.
I love how you can add up to 12 shots to a short latte.
The problem with the benefits:
1) I still get charged for the syrup.
3) Well you're buying that a bit overpriced; it's cheaper on Amazon or your local supermarket.
4) Limited to 1 store. Yes your wondering who goes to more than one Starbucks a day… *raises hand*.
5) Didn't get mine.
That said, I've happy to have Starbucks; so much easier to buy stuff; I don't have to know how much I spent on coffee until the end of the week.
That's interesting; I will watch for that next time.
Actually, there ARE some benefits (if you register your card, that is):
Plus, it's useful for someone like me, who is trying to "budget" my Starbucks drinking. If I just used my debit card, my Starbucks binges would be out of control.
- Free syrup and milk options for your beverage.
- Free brewed coffee refills (hot or iced).
- Free Tall (12 fl oz) beverage with your 1 lb whole bean purchase.
- Up to two hours free AT&T Wi-Fi per day.
- Free drink on your birthday

i was playing with the new Monocle functionality in Yelp and it said there was a restaraunt across the street. too bad it closed years ago
+1 here too. Not that I can really use this app cause the trial is not in my area but it is somewhat annoying that I can't even log into the app with my account.
I'd love to see this take off and be able to ditch the card I have to carry in my wallet. Hate having to carry membership cards.
That's right young whipper snapper! And I remember when the invention of that there telephone made writing letters nearly obsolete. It just ain't right.
I think we've got enough socializing. Between email, texting, cell phones, chat rooms, etc. it's surprising ang any work gets done. I think we can live with expediting our starbucks order.
I disagree. There actually is a benefit to the card. Starbucks Card Rewards.
Also, if you go to Starbucks a lot, would you rather have a bunch of $2 & $3 charges clogging up your AmEx statement, or just a $35 or $40 charge every time you go through that amount (however long it takes you). I'd much rather have the card. The added benefit or the rewards, plus the cc charge benefit. I think it is definitely worth it.
This is what I'm getting too!!!
Without the ability to logon, the Starbucks Card Mobile app is useless.
I messaged starbucks.com, but they haven't gotten back to me yet
Ug, let me logon please. Plus I want that free $5
Where's the disconnect?
Any idea on where the disconnect is on why this app (along with many others) isn't available from the App store in Canada? Is it Apple? Starbucks? Doesnt make a heck of a lot of sense that it wouldn't be available north of the border.
