App of the Week – Starbucks

Who doesn’t love Starbucks? What a company! Millions and millions of people line up everday all day to pay $4 for a cup of coffee. America is addicted to coffee and that’s why Starbucks is the App of the Week.

The Starbucks app has been around for a long time. But in all honesty it really didn’t do much beside keeping track of your card balance or locating a store. Like you really can’t find a Starbucks?

Starbucks has updated their app with the ability to order food or your favorite $7 Vente, dark roast, double shot, soy milk, blended, America-machiatto thing! Or perhaps something from their secret menu? You can send that order in advance to your local Starbucks allowing you to skip that morning line that’s out the door and about to make you late for work.

If you spend a month’s rent, every month, on Starbucks coffee then you probably already have the old app. So you can simply download the new app and use your log in credentials to update it. You can also link a card or a Starbucks gift card to the new app.

Now you can step out of the shower, place you order and pay for it right through the app at over 7,000 Starbucks stores and 2,500 Target and Safeway Starbucks. It’ll be ready when you get there. The app also remembers your frequent orders and customizations.

Other features include,

• Leave a digital tip on purchases in the U.S. and Canada.
• Register for My Starbucks Rewards or manage your  account if you already have one. Earn stars with each payment, track them and redeem your rewards.
• Send Starbucks eGift Cards for special occasions, or just because  in the U.S., Canada and Great Britain.

The app is free and available for Apple and Android devices.
