crash crash crash TWC seems more concerned with releasing an app with as many features as possible (now with social networking integration!) with little concern regarding an app that simply works (or doesn't have exceptionally outdated maps compared to online). check out weatherbug. much more reliable.

So there are alpha/category listings. But the listings don't tell you where the store is located. Then there's a zoomable map. But the only map labels are the anchor stores, and it just gets blurry when you zoom in. So how am I supposed to use this app to find anything? It seems to have great potential, but it's a big fail right now...please update.

I wasn't expecting too much given what I had read in other reviews. True, you have to download the catalog first, and once you do, it is the same catalog as the printed one. But you can search the catalog, using the sectioned table of contents or the search box, and each page allows you to touch the different items for a closer view of that product. From the product view, you can get further information which is identical to the website (including configurable drop downs for pricing, where appropriate). So while there could have been some things better done, this provides a quick reference to the entire ikea catalog at your fingertips. I'm not sure why so many people are whining, actually.

I liked this app, but the last several times I attempted to use it, it tells me it can't load prices, that I need to be on the u.s. or Canada, and to try a different zip code. A bit frustrating.

good tool for when you're stuck. sometimes have to change letters but it does pretty good otherwise :)
