★★★★ Damien Armitage 5/4/2026 v4.43.2
If i could give 0 stars i would. My partner ordered a 7 foot over hanging pool table cover n it was nothing like the pictures at all and was the wrong size. She's then gone to chase it up n big w marketplace refused to reimburse the product n then completely stopped replying in the ticket. Would never purchase anything again through this place as they send you the wrong stuff then take no credibility for the stuff up.

Absolutely tragic. A total nightmare to try and use.
★★★★ Taylor Hawksford 4/16/2026 v4.42.0

bad
★★★★ Spenncer Watson 4/13/2026 v4.42.0
something went wrong is the only catalogue I get to ever look at
★★★★ Scott McKeen 4/9/2026 v4.41.0

★★★★ Sean Kelly 4/8/2026 v4.42.0
I've been waiting for over 3 hrs 9n 5he assistant help & no response, all I want to do is change my shipping address & yet I still wait..
★★★★ Chris Fletcher 4/8/2026 v4.42.0
App doesn't work. No way to get past the location page. Can't use online website either. Won't let you get past update details page. No way to report the problem.
★★★★ Zoe Tranche 4/8/2026 v4.42.0
Getting help is non existant. When you do finally get a human after several days you get some work experience kid that is dum as a box of dum things. They dont know what a tax invoice is so dont bother asking. The receipts button doesnt work, it just takes you to Rewards app. Receipts take DAYS to appear. If you have a low tolerance for idiots or dont suffer fools gladly, this app is not for you.
★★★★ Aimée white 4/6/2026 v4.42.0
Needs to be smoother. App glitches!
★★★★ Alexandra Pirschel 4/3/2026
Garbage app. Sent a code to verify my number but the code didn't work. Resent it 4 times, still didn't work. Then requested a phone call for a code, still didn't work. Deleted.
★★★★ Mick Desmond 3/31/2026 v4.41.0
Glitchy & frustrating. Demands your favourite store before allowing price checks then won't accept your location nor the location you enter whilst attempting to submit your favourite store.
★★★★ Kym Smith 3/29/2026 v4.42.0
app never works and always crashes
★★★★ Vesna Rebeka Masek Zammit 3/24/2026 v4.41.0
I can't checkout......it just keeps on refreshing and going to the home screen 😞
★★★★ Jay 3/21/2026
BigW Marketplace unsafe. No seller info except store name, no location, state, reviews, contact methods, manufacturer warranty details, NOTHING. No way to safeguard buyers. BigW need to take some duty if care for potential buyers instead of supplying a selling platform for scammers.
★★★★ Patricia Ahquee 3/11/2026 v4.41.0
I downloaded it and found that I can't use it because the search bar couldn't locate any of the Big W stores around the Brisbane area, using my location didn't work either.
★★★★ C W 3/8/2026 v4.41.0
What's wrong with this app?!? Have literally just downloaded it and it can't even give me my local store... Incredibly glitchy. Will have to uninstall it.
★★★★ Dan Jacko (Jako) 3/5/2026 v4.40.2
dosnt work with a VPN. useless.
★★★★ Gary Norris 3/2/2026 v4.40.2
Terrible app, can't even get past login, install, uninstall remove cookies, mobile or desktop. Woolies you probably need to fire the clowns that designed this app.
★★★★ James Thomas 2/26/2026 v4.40.2
new update doesn't work. It won't let me sign in. It keeps asking for my email to get a code and then keeps on asking the same thing over and over.
★★★★ Jayden Ricketts 2/26/2026
Everytime I find a deal on the Web it redirects to the app and refuses to show products I search for on Google.
★★★★ Mary-Anne Jack 2/23/2026 v4.40.2
Installed the app but never got to use it. I got stuck in a sign-in loop and gave up after trying four times
★★★★ D Forman 2/23/2026 v4.40.2
trying to money out of my aaccount
★★★★ Rob Whyte 2/22/2026 v4.37.2
looking to buy toilet seat and all I get is app
★★★★ Leia Leggatt 2/22/2026 v4.40.2
Paid for a book for click and collect just to be emailed the next day and be advised they don't actually have it. Now have to wait 3-5 business days for the refund. In this economy spending $40 on a book is considered a treat and to have to now wait and hope another seller continues to have stock is devastating. Won't be ordering from the site again but just be aware if you do there is a possibility of this happening.
★★★★ Mardi Shakti 2/19/2026
Forced to use it to Message about a wrong item they sent. They always close the Message without asking if you're complete, or satisfied. Anyway, no, I hate this app, and shopping at Big W is a PAIN.
★★★★ David Bonney 2/16/2026
I don't like shopping through an app they can be frustrating & unreliable but this Big W app is easy to navigate fairly reliable, for me anyway. Minimal lag & good results with tracking. However, shopping instore is a nightmare! (No Checkouts), (No Service), except for the security guy at the store entrance & no customers, it looks empty & post apocalyptic omg! Cutting staff for the big cash grab! Typical greedy multinational.
★★★★ David Brennan 2/14/2026 v4.39.3
You stuffed me around with numbers I couldn't find so I bought one somewhere else
★★★★ Kaneesha McCartney 2/11/2026 v4.39.3
downloaded the app but couldn't get past the set location page.
★★★★ Daniel Bourke 2/8/2026 v4.38.1
still broken, browse & search bring ZERO results far too often. Can't shop using this app, COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. I am at a point i give up on shopping online, Kmart, Big W, Target, etc all waste our time with dysfunctional tools. Developers need to take the time to create something that functions, not just aesthetic.
★★★★ Danni 213 2/7/2026 v4.39.3
Unusable app... Can't get past the create profile screen.. Doesn't allow me to log in to my actual account. Website is the same. No one can order online.
★★★★ Scott Stokes 2/6/2026
errors right at startup
★★★★ Sarah Moore 2/4/2026 v4.39.3
Having the same issues as everyone else, for a couple of months now. Having to login every single time, and never succeeding, just getting thrown back to my home page once entering an email code and a txt code. Done all the normal things...uninstall, reinstall, updated-numerous times...and it doesnt always solve the issue. Hoping they fix it soon, coz as if we dont already spend enough time on our phones!
★★★★ Mary 2/4/2026 v4.39.2
It has become a terrible app. When I was shopping in the app for a pick-up, the app changed all by itself to delivery! At the finalising of my shopping it still showed pick-up. But minutes later got email showing its a delivery and all the items I wanted in pick-up weren't even included. So for $11.20 cutlery I got charged $12.00 Delivery! I rang BigW. I did chat took 30mintes to speak to a human, to be told TOO late it's being packed. It's not good enough, BigW.
★★★★★ Bruce Laing 4/28/2026 v4.21.5
downgraded from five stars because the app and website no longer allow you to order if you have a VPN switched on. it is the same for Target, K-Mart, and the Good Guys. I will be going to the brick and mortar stores instead of online.
★★★★★ Tegan Downie 4/3/2026 v4.42.0
I like that ĺI'm was given opttion of providing feedback. as limited as it is.
★★★★★ Luc Van de Goor 3/28/2026 v4.42.0

★★★★★ Jac 3/12/2026 v4.41.0
refused to open, rolling around on location. Had to reinstall, now 😕
★★★★★ Warren 3/7/2026 v4.41.0
I only want to search for things in store when this shows online only items as well.. it is extremely annoying!
★★★★★ Terry Hogan 3/4/2026 v4.40.2
shelves have lots of blank spaces. online sales are ridiculous for exorbitant shipping costs. very little to make me want to visit or interact with.
★★★★★ Mac NCheese 2/24/2026 v4.40.2
login doesn't work, verification codes don't work, chat doesn't work. this is not a selling tool
★★★★★ Graham Anderson 2/9/2026 v4.39.3
sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not so good.
★★★★★ Tam F 2/6/2026 v4.39.3
using the app itself is fine. my issue is that signing in to the app is next to impossible. type in email address, enter code, goes back to the screen but not signed in. I can do this more than 20 times and it still won't sign in
★★★★★ Darrin Reynolds 2/3/2026 v4.39.2
my item has taken too long to receive poor business they need to do better unacceptable.
