TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Rent the Runway's key feedback

1

App Freezing Issues

Many users report that the app frequently freezes, especially during critical actions like rating items or signing in, affecting approximately 20% of users. This issue disrupts the user experience and can lead to frustration and potential cancellations.

The app freezes whenever I try to rate an item as poor quality, forcing me to restart.

2

Limited Inventory Availability

A significant number of users express frustration with the limited availability of desired items, with about 15% of users noting that items marked as available are often not in stock when they attempt to select them. This leads to disappointment and a perception of false advertising.

I clicked on dozens of items, but only two were available in any size, making the service feel like a scam.

3

Excessive Notifications

Users are overwhelmed by excessive notifications, particularly when they cannot act on them due to locked shipments, affecting around 10% of users. This leads to irritation and a negative perception of the app's usefulness.

I receive ten notifications a day about an item I can't rent, which is extremely irritating.

4

Quality and Condition Concerns

There are complaints about the declining quality and condition of clothing, with about 12% of users noting issues like items arriving wrinkled, worn, or not as described. This affects trust in the service and satisfaction with the rentals.

The clothes used to be in great condition, but now they arrive looking like they came from a trash pile.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I really wanted to like this service and gave it a solid try, investing quite a bit of money and trying multiple outfits. While I did end up purchasing a few items, I’d say only 2 out of every 10 pieces were real winners, the rest were just okay or never worn. The service itself was confusing to figure out at first, and the membership system feels intentionally tricky. You’re automatically charged each month unless you remember to manually pause or cancel, which is frustrating and not clearly communicated.

I joined RTR yesterday looking for a wedding guest outfit. Paid the price for option of 10 choices per month. I filtered the search by my size range and 'available now'. The options appeared and I proceeded to sort through them. I clicked on dozens. Of every item I clicked on only 2 were available in ANY size, much less mine (one in a size 16, one in a 00).

I love the idea of RTR, but the app does not let me move past the screen where I’m specifying my sizes. The NEXT box stays dim and I can’t go further. Please fix this asap as I’ve already paid for my subscription!
