I’ve had the Starbucks app on my iPhone for years. I love it for many reasons, and I was surprised I hadn’t told you about it before. Recently though, Starbucks got pretty dang smart and in addition to offering a free song of the week to download, they have started offering free apps to download! So this week’s app of the week is an app that has apps of the week! Fun!
Not only can you keep up with your balance on your Starbucks card, from the app you can reload your balance, and another favorite of mine is to send egifts! Gift cards to all your friends whether they are sick, or having a birthday, or having a bad day, immediately they get an egift card from you to them – and, Starbucks has several designs of ecards to choose from.
If you are in a new area, the Starbucks app will help you quickly locate the nearest Starbucks so you can get your fix. You can also pay for your purchase at Starbucks directly from the app. What will they think of next?
Another great feature is you can look through the Starbucks menu for food and assorted coffee concoctions, and save your favorites. It will also give you all the nutritional information so if you are counting calories it’s easy to decide to skip the bakery but a skinny frap is okay!
