Academy Sports + Outdoors

the app is not user friendly. overly difficult to manage cards. too many credit offers. app is not accurate on store availability. search is about worthless Definitely needs some updating

love this site

Great service

excellent service somewhat easy to navigate. great rewards tho

This app is incredibly slow, and don't bother trying to get items shipped to you, they'll charge you more than what the item costs in shipping.

great 👍

it was easy to oder items in app

I absolutely love this app so efficient to order things online and go pick them up I wouldn't know what I would do without it

For shooting and ammunition. This app is atrocious. search for ammo good luck. Go to , outdoors, fire arms, ammunition, by caliber. No 30-30 found. Really in all of Academy no 30-30 ammo. Other reviews same similar. Academy response: thanks for the input. Going on for years. How about you fix it!!!!!

Shipping price for 4 folding chairs over 200 dollars is a little wild

very laggy

One of the best reward systems out of all the apps you can download. great place to shop. great customer service. great selection!

Can't sign in to this garbage. Put in the SMS code, hit continue, and nothing happens. Even the cancel button is dead and doesn't do anything.

awesome app

easy to use just gets slow alot. have to swipe out of the app & relaunch it.

I prefer Academy over that "other store" because you sell hunting gear.

the app is really slow.

love this app

easy to use

love the clearance prices

I had to call the academy in my area because I couldn't find any boots on stock in the app but when I talked to the lady she was so nice and she found what I needed immediately. I was impressed! 😁

too slow and it doesn't give you all the options when shopping for ammo. it's much faster and easier online so I just deleted it.

Great fast and easy

app was freezing up and would not take any payment info? never had this happen before

using id.me is pretty much impossible online

usually fast delivery

slow

my in store detailed receipts are not opening. Just showing cost on my rewards for my past 2 purchases in stote.I did enter my phone number first before checking out.

the app is slow af

unusable the app just loads and loads after the first minute of use

everything says free shipping but I was charged $27.88 shipping.

Great selection of clothes, shoes, and outdoor.

A sportsman paradise!

salesperson was in The hunting fishing section was great

sloowwwwwwwwwwwwwww loading tskes forever

Great on line shopping

love the simplicity of ordering and picking up my order and the multiple $15 off is also nice

Academy has all the sporting equipment I need. I love Academy Sports and Outdoors!

awesome

great store service and prices

Great Place for Youth Camo Clothes

great up loads slow

idk why the app is so much slower than the website

very glitchy

ordering online is a good option . Still, I like visiting the store better and talking to Darryl and his team,

outstanding customer service

love Academy Stores

I like shopping Academy but their app is slow.

love academy employees are always very helpful

Disappointed in this app. Can't search the products that I want. I have to go to the website. Can't look at firearms, or ammunition even though I'm searching my local store in TEXAS!!!! Is the app WOKE?

love this store

app is very slow but worth it 👌

In app, purchase went rather smooth.\nAnd I got exactly what I wanted

I like the discount each time you use your card.

It's nice to get special online deals with 30% off. Then just go to the store, find a designated parking spot, and they just bring your order out to you.

Soo Slow

great

Slow, buggy, crashes constantly

I want academy to know just how much money it loses annually for just one customer because your app keeps hijacking my browser whem I try to go to the actual Academy. com page to research things. the app doesn't allow even LOOKING at ammo or firearms, and I spend approximately $5000.00 yearly.... all of that goes to your competitors. fix your stuff.... and treat veterans better. update.... Scheels app allows it, Dunhams allows it... funny.

Great place to shop

no ammunition information or gun listings available on app

very easy purchase

Good app 👍🏿

enjoy shopping

ordering was easy and fast. Great selection.

PayPal pay in 4 option not setup correctly

I love sports academy always find a good deal!

Every time I try order online, it doesn't let me use my Academy card. I end up having to use a credit card, and not get the savings from my Academy account. Gonna start using Bass Pro or other stores if they can't get it fixed.

slow, but we'll organized

The app is great for price and informational purposes. But for paying on a credit card, it will not process, resulting in late fees. Do not use this app to pay your CC.

Academy for the win once again! Great stuff at great prices!

Great deal when applied for card...

customer support was amazing!

love order hat before great quality from and great shipping. Happy customer. Will order again Thank you Academy.

This app is sooooo slow. probably the worst android app I've ever used

this is so nice. I love this app

everything you need

cheapest place for my fiance Nike Monarch shoes in size 13...customer service was great when I called with a question

great! loving the deals off the app!

never buy my slides from anywhere else

terrific cooler

I made an online order of some work boots in September 2026. They were super marked down on clearance. I received two similar, but different boots & they still had the security tag attached. I took them to the College Station Academy & they kindly, with no hassles, refunded my $ AND ordered me another pair of boots for the discounted price. They then emailed me a 15% off coupon for my future order.

excellent

laggy

l was scammed

easy to use

app is so slow you can hardly use it.search and filter options come back with way to many results ,not even close to what you searched for then when you sort it changes the number of results and it shouldnt when you sort. By the way its slow every time I use it.

Academy Sports is easy to use for quick online shopping. 1st time shopping experience was easy to navigate. The search box works great. I purchase in 3 minutes or less with local store pick up same day!!

this app is so slow and takes forever to load

love it

Great products at a great price.

really fell since you gotta go to the website to view the full catalog.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great savings

Great savings, super helpful staff and online customer service!

I'm happy

love it

Love the products.

slow response and delayed shopping while waiting forn things to load

save money in app on purchase find everything

horrible performance , the app is OK, nothing amazing but browsing the items is painfully slow, quite a terrible experience

EXTREMELY slow app! PLEASE fix this! The load time for each and every little change is ridiculous and quite frustrating! It is now over a year since my last review, there is no reason that an app should be this doggone slow and unstable in 2026. uninstalled

You can't look at the Pew pews on the app but if you go online on the website they have a lot to select from.

when you try to search for certain items, it says that it doesn't have them, but when you check the website it shows that it does.

app sucks and lags like hell. The content load times are crazy. It takes many hours if you want to go through their collections and it consumes lot of battery and resources. May be because cache mgmt is not good and lags the entire app. Only good thing I have noticed is filters work appropriately. It just took me 2 hours to go through their shoe collection only.

extremely slow. it's so slow it's hard to use. I set it to, in stock, size 3, and it still gave me shoes that were out of stock.

Excellent company with prices that are hard to beat. I highly recommend Academy for all your outdoor supplies and equipment.

easy ordering! Academy had exactly what I needed and delivered to my door!

The barcode scanner absolutely refuses to work after the last update. great work geniuses.

What a horrible mess of an online experience. There is nothing but latency issues and it'll continually reset when you try to check out.

basic app, easy to get to what you need to purchase

transactions sucks. you give a credit card with your name on it and you don't use it within a month. you take it away. you suck

The app is glitchy. It takes a while to bring up an item, go from one category to another and simply frustrates me when trying to navigate it.

other than the "out of stock" items still being on the list when selecting to hide them this app is very good and easy to operate. 9/7.. whatever recent update y'all did removed easy pay from the app, very disappointing.

app is so slow to navigate. doesnt allow searching certain types of products. better to just use a browser and go to the website instead of using the app.

When I purchase on line, it doesn't take long for the delivery. The item and delivery is always correct. I like ordering Academy on line. I live one hour away from the nearest store. Thanks Academy!

Academy has developed a great, easy.. to use website . I really appreciate your patience with me as a novice just getting started in the on line shopping experience

App is to slow and there is to many pop ups including AI

They decided to just change the format out of nowhere and so now its impossible to look at potential firearms that I would like to save for. Took away and hid my whole wishlist ALL TO HELP WHO? It's ridiculous, im not walking into the store to go and look at the same 2 guns everyday

Academy online is so poorly optimized it feels like it's 1998 dial up Internet. My god.

The website is easy enough to navigate but it is slow loading. The required fields that you fill in are not aligned very well when using a cell phone.

The app lags and freezes. If I can't use it I can't make purchases from it! Balls in your court.

I LOVE Academy!! Quality merchandise, knowledge staff, and always a great shopping experience!!

This Academy app is very easy to use. I was able to place my order very fast. I love shopping here!

works well and is convenient to shop. It is a little slow to load between pages though.

Okay, it's ridiculous on how hard it is to use the app to order my items. I could not use my app with my academy. Rewards card? But yet, I could use the app to pay with my debit card. That's frickin' ridiculous

I like the using the app to see what kind of rewards I get. the reason I am only giving it 3 stars is because I think it is dumb that you can't make a payment to your my academy rewards credit card from the app. Instead I have to jump through all of these hoops in order to make a payment on my credit card

no longer able to look up Ammo or firearms . I've tried to do the web it directs me to the app.

very slow. a lot of the stuff that I want to order from myself. It's out of stock

app doesn't work, was trying to checkout for 20min. it never worked. didn't buy anything hot frustrated

I like the rewards they give me when I shop here even if I don't got there credit card I get free shipping on $25 dollars plus and promo codes for money off my purchases and birthday

store that sells guns and hunting stuff that can't put a single bit on here. that's right, if you want to look at any guns, bow and arrows, or anything that Google deems dangerous.....nope. this app is basically shoes and clothes. stupid

App.!! Fast and Fun! To order with a click-click!!

Customer service agent I got on a weekend was down to earn, helped with my concerns and had a good conversation.

Had what I needed at a good price. Shipping could be quicker. Shouldnt take 10 days to ship something in stock.

Always easy to use the app. Easy navigation and easy to place orders while using rewards and discount offers as well.

Back button doesn't work on my updated s26 ultra.

You don't offer tax exemption for the folks that are tax exempt online. So you only get a two rating

very slow, glitchy, I have tried multiple times to get my military discount and it never works.

Why can I not view weapons on my app great interface bit unable to view weapons on here

I love academy's various selection of sports wear! Great to know they are arriving in other states! Thank you, and I will always return to for Academy for my families needs! Keep up the good work and thank you for the great birthday incentives!!

Great shop, the app is very limited. can't view anything firearms related, not even accessories. You'll have to use their website to view certain items which makes the app pretty much useless. Instead of having your app through google play, you should just make on through your app with zero restrictions.

trying to complete an order with you guys is a complete nightmare! I have almost just gave up with a cart full of stuff everytime I try and place an order! I love your store, but I really , really hate the process of trying to oder stuff from you guys on the app! do better!

I like shopping at Academy. I can often find many of the things I want at discount. And those things I pay normal price are often fund in good supply in the store for pick up.

acadamy is a great place to shop. I always have issues with ordering online but I always get it figured out. Also, the app does not let you view firearms, not sure why

like ordering from Academy online. It's easier to get the things I want and need, and the selection is better as well. shipping is always fast right to my door.

The app is good except for every time I go to look at firearms or ammo I can't go on the website, it redirects me to the app instead. Have to uninstall the app just to browse firearms.

The app is incredibly slow to browse with. Also, while trying to enter the World Cup giveaways it is consistently crashing which is obviously incredibly frustrating.

The app would be great if it wasn't painfully slow and the back button on an android phone would navigate backwards in the app. It's easier to use the website.

Update June 2026 and the app is still so clunky. Constantly freezes and filters don't work App needs work. While trying to use it filtering results will crash the app or show nothing in stock when it's as simple as choosing a brand. Back button will freeze a bunch and you're stuck where you're at. When you back up you'll lose all your filters and have to start over.

I don't shop a lot at academy because it's far away but I used to order ammo with my 5% off. This being said you can't look at any guns or ammo on the app. Even if I go to desktop site it switches over to app. So if you're interested in these things don't bother with app. I'll have to delete it if I ever want to order ammo again. The app isn't for everyone.

The store itself and customer service is fine. The app sucks. Very slow, wrong prices shown. Much better to navigate using your browser of choice

The app is buggy. VERY SLOW. They offer PayPal checkout but I had to close out of the app and go back twice before it allowed me to click on the yellow PayPal button. Secondly, they advertise $20 off if you use the app saying it will apply in the checkout but it didn't. When you click on the banner to read exclusions it opens a shopping page with clothing. Academy has a lot of technical and marketing issues. I'll shop elsewhere next time.

very disappointed I tried purchasing ecards for fatjers day and orders were canceled both times with 2 different cards saying the payment authorization was removed but when I checked with both banks it was not my bank but the company.

Search provides extremely limited results. I installed the app based on app only discounts advertised, but couldn't find any of the products I wanted to purchase. Many searches lead to no results. Pathetic considering tech these days. No option for 0 stars.

Their promotions are good, and the coupon offerings all seem great until the coupon is applied. almost every time they are applied, the item that is being purchased is excluded. This is extremely frustrating and has left me to wonder if it is worth engaging in future purchases.

I love the products , but the website navigation is terrible , as well the payment navigation, it took my two days to complete an order using bread pay and klarna. the site itself takes forever to load pages and is hyper sensitive as you click and browse , pages don't load , images don't load , I reboot and clear my cache , I use my phone then my tablets , then my desktops ....Nadal

you cannot view firearms in this app. You can click on the tab, and accessories populate, but no fire arms. i ended up leaving the app and going to Academy's web page. Yhe whole reasin is down loaded this app was to view fathers day deals.

App is ok, although somewhat slow... easy to search for items. Although, for me the barcode scanner doesn't work, I only see a black screen (yes, the camera has permissions).

The app is well made and very similar to the desktop version. Only reason for 2 star is if you are into shooting sports, the app does not allow shopping or check of inventory for ammunition and firearms.

This app is really poorly optimized and terribly slow, even on a high-end phone. It was frustrating having to wait several seconds every time I made ANY click. Makes me want to not shop at Academy online at all.

Now the back button doesn't work after you choose filters ( Brand, gender, etc). All the time spent selecting the brand of the products you are interested is wasted because something so basic for an app doesn't work . I am referring to any of the back buttons on the application that after viewing an item and its details you want to go back of the items to continue browsing the items on your list. It's something so frustrating because it is so basic and developers can test it before releasing it.

this app is horrible! the "remember me" button is useless. Don't try the chat to get help because it's cut off so you can't even see what you're typing, while typing OR after you're done. the account info takes days to update & pending totals for an order stay on for days after each item has been charged separately. it's a disaster!

The app is good, unless you look at a lot of firearms. Anytime I click to a link to a firearm at academy in my browser, the app automatically opens, loads for a second, tells me I can't see firearms in the app, and then redirects me back to the browser (where I already was in the first place). It got pretty annoying and eventually I just uninstalled the app.

App works okay. I got it to check ammunition prices, but it seems firearms and ammunition are no longer listed on the app since the most recent update. If you want to look for other sports/outdoorsy items, the app works fine, but I no longer need it so I'll be deleting it.

Great app, but sometimes I'm in the store and I try to scan a barcode on an item like a lure for specific details and it won't scan or will say this does not exist or somthing like that, and sometimes I will look for an item on the app or website and it will say it is out of stock when there is a rack full of them in the store. but other than that it works fine.

Just using this app to rant my disappointment in Academy gift cards. Don't ever purchase Academy gift cards. Make your choice Master card or Visa with no expiration date. I was given gift cards for the holidays and my birthday. I just put them in my dresser drawer. Couple years later I found them and wanted to use them. Made my selection at the local store and presented them to the associate at the register. They ran the cards and told me they both had zero balance on them! Never used!!!

First let me say Its about time they finally made an app. Better late than never I suppose. Pros: app is well organized, user friendly and intuitive interface. Great product selection. Cons: There is no "remember me" feature. Any time you close the app you have to relog into your account. Not hard but very tedious and annoying. It doesnt even remember your email address which is a basic feature on all apps now days. Also they are VERY pushy about getting you to sign up for a credit card

App sucks big time! I was doing my shopping,adding items to my cart,found alot of good deals to. But when I go to check out,app just crashes and keeps telling me to try back later. It won't allow me to edit my cart,can't remove items that I changed my mind on,or found a better deal on. I have repeatedly logged out,logged back in,and nothing! Refreshed the browser everything! Still nothing. Guess I gotta do my x-mas shopping with the competitors this year
