Is this a startup idea?

Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use — the fix belongs first to that provider.

    …ng at items in my cart (click on the product). It freezes every time. I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but it is frustrating. I have the iPhone 11, is that matters. The website works perfectly, but the app is very glitchy.

    Redbubble - Shop original art — App Keeps Crashing I have been trying to do some shopping for over a day now and every time I go on the app, after 5 or 7 minutes, the app just crashes. It’s been very frustrating to deal with

    Redbubble - Shop original art — App is terrible App used to work, now it won’t even load. Just gives an “Oh snap! Something went wrong” message. Really annoying. Have deleted the app until it’s fixed.

Questions about this idea

Is App crashes during shopping experience a startup idea?
Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
How many people have this problem?
56 different people described it independently, in 56 mentions, the earliest from 23 Apr 2020 and the most recent from 16 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
Is this problem getting worse?
Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 2 people raised it in the last 30 days and 0 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.

    The Redbubble app seems to crash when people try to access their cart, leaving them unable to complete purchases. We've heard from 41 people about this issue. Does it crash immediately when you click the cart, or does it take a few minutes before it happens?
