Was useful

It took a little getting used to. The app does basic ordering and data sheets. I use it to order parts for hobby projects. I gave it three stars because the search function is hard to get used to. This app has gone through several major redesigns. This latest version is a big step in the wrong direction as far as ease-of-use is concerned. Additionally, when this new version rolled out, it messed up my account. And I can’t get it fixed.

An excellent parts browsing and ordering tool

Everything about my previous review (preserved below) has been wiped out in this latest update that seems to want to emulate a crappy mobile website instead of a full-featured GUI that worked great. Why oh why do people feel the need to "fix" what's not broken? I can't even login anymore. ---- Excellent user interface design makes it easy to navigate. Lots of info available about the parts, and the iOS version doesn't lose a lot of what's presented on the desktop version. In fact, it's better in one important respect: You can easily move stuff between shopping carts, It would be nice to more easily send data sheet PDFs to another app. I keep my data sheet collection in GoodReader, and there isn't any "Send To..." option for that app when I look at saved data sheets. Also, perhaps you could extract a more meaningful title from the data sheet PDF to display in the list of data sheets. Otherwise, the app is pretty much perfect and its quality has probably resulted in a few hundred dollars worth of extra parts orders on my part.

Needs price at quantity filter

This app is great, but one feature I’m really missing from the web interface is the ability to filter out all the products that have large MOQ. I often sort by unit price low to high, and it’s a huge pain to have all the low unit priced items get in the way due to their MOQ being in the thousands. Being able to view items as they are priced at a user-defined quantity (like 10 or 100) is really essential in the mobile app, and it already exists in the web interface. Thanks for the great work!

An actually great app

This is a delightful intuitive app to use that doesn’t feel like a re-branded web page. Thought and effort have gone into making it I even had a small problem with the app, wrote a review detailing the issue, and the devs fixed the problem! I wish all companies would be as thoughtful when making app versions of their web page

They’ve got almost everything

Digi-Key is a no-nonsense, rapid response one stop shop for electronic parts. They’ve got spec sheets too. What a fantastic resource, and there’s an app for that! I’m no stooge, just a happy customer!! I highly recommend Digi-Key; they’re much friendlier than Newark, too.

Used to be Great. Now Buggy and Awkward

This used to be a great app. Now it has been dumbed down to the point where it is painful for anybody whose primary purpose is to research and buy components. It also gives spurious error messages. With every update it keeps getting worse. It has significantly reduced the amount I buy from Digikey. My time is sufficiently valuable that I buy from whoever causes me the least pain. This shouldn’t be a race to the bottom.

Does the job

This app isn’t perfect but it’s worked well enough. There have been a few instances where items haven’t loaded their add to cart / quantity sections. Additionally searching for items is a bit clumsy and many categories are lost in misleading drop-down menus. That being said, DigiKey has never had the most stellar user experience design. So, I’m overall happy with the app.

Works well!

Updating my review: previously I’d mentioned that the earlier version was glitchy and the checkout process was confusing. The latest version improves things to the point that I’m happy to give this 4 stars now. All the iPhone 12 UI glitches are gone, and the ordering process is much improved - no more “did that actually go through” moments. Great response from the developers!

Changes

Just make it easier to remove items in a cart instead of making a new cart to select a certain item to purchase.

Very good app now that they added favorites

The app is very good especially now that you can add components to your favorites list. Before, you could only add to favorites on the full web site. Excellent improvement.

App is going downhill

After filling my cart and going to check out, I tried to login first only to see my cart cleared. Fortunately logging out restored my cart, but forced me to enter all my personal information again. Now, writing this review, I’m getting a white font on white background so I have no ideas how many typos there are. App was better 3 years ago.

Great app

I’ve been using the DigiKey app for about two months and find the search functionality fantastic, filtering options are plentiful, and the speed of the app is awesome. Thanks for a great product!!

Love this company

When I found Digi-Key I was literally overwhelmed with joy finally having all the tech I could want in the palm of my hand thank u so much lol.

Terrible app. Can’t sign in with prior info.

The app won’t let me sign in. I already had a account and customer number from Digi-Key. It repeatedly tells me wrong password when I can sign in with NO issues on the website. I hope they make this better because Digi-Key is my favorite parts store and the app is completely unusable.

Very convenient

Digi-Key has excellent customer service and this app makes purchasing electronics through them even more convenient!

Excellent app, 100x more useful than Mouser’s

This app was really done right. It is actually very useful, especially compared to Mouser’s nightmare of an app.

Digi-Key is great. But the app, not so much

Crashes quite a bit. And so many errors keep popping up when I try to do things like edit shipping address or update cart qty. Digi-Key is great. Just wish they would put more thought into making their app more usable.

Tend to use other supplies only for their better apps

I’d prefer to use Digi-Key for purchases, but the app routinely fails or dead-ends. End up buying lesser quality components from mouser instead thanks to their much better app shopping interface.

Good but slow

This app looks good and works fine but need to wait couple of seconds every time I tap on something. Also signs me out every once in a while.

Interferes with Pandora

Whenever I search for a part and tap the search results, Pandora stops playing.

Good, with stability issues

I occasionally have trouble signing in. Sometimes it just doesn’t work. Trend towards doing my ordering on laptop.

Slick & efficient

Missing the BOM feature. Using the shopping cart instead (for now) maybe the shopping cart contents can be moved into a BOM.

Great Company and lots of items in stock!

Trying to get the data sheet prior to purchase to verify my necessity. The sheet previews Half the description and uses, the complete first half blocked out. Have other sites do this also. Don’t make sense??? Buy and then research???

Search is COMPLETELY USELESS

How is this app so highly rated?! Digikey’s inventory is massive, and I know that because the search is so incredibly basic and lacks so many advanced functions it’s literally impossible to find what you’re looking for… at all. Good luck sifting through you 9,000+ search results on your iphone, 10 at a time. And if you want to modify your search? NOPE! Start over, friend. Does anyone at Digikey actually use their own app to find stuff? If they did, they’d see how useless it is.

Unable to do basic tasks

Ideally you would expect this app to allow you to monitor and submit orders. Neither is really possible. Doesn’t even support the iPhone notch, just to tell you how dated it is On top of that expedited shipping takes weeks.

Super Clutch

Comes in handy every time.

Shipping preference

There should be a shipping menu with all the options of shipment like on the website.

App used to work

Well, it worked when I first downloaded it, but now the app is rife with errors. It appears to be utterly unable to browse products, review orders, or really do anything useful. Disappointing.

Poor filter

Cannot add to existing filter. Must start again from scratch every time. Frustrating.

Great company great app

Love this company and they did a really good job with this app.

App redirects you to the Digi-Key website to login but it does not work. Pressing the feedback button also does nothing. Worthless garbage of an app.

5 years ago, Caterpiggle

Simply doesn’t work

Was excited to have an app to find parts while not at my desktop. You’ll have an easier time ordering parts using your refrigerator

Slooow

App is slow and tends to crash on iPad Pro. Also, cannot use when vpn enabled

Almost

Filter for MOQ. App crashes if you leave it while displaying a datasheet.

Really easy to use

Great, smooth app

Really buggy

Great app! Can be pretty buggy from time to time.

Change for the sake of change.…no

Parametric search was far better the way it was.

No support for Apple Pay

Feels like a 90’s web interface, supports PayPal but not ApplePay and using the credit card choices doesn’t allow iOS to do its credit card supports.

This business gone in the gutter

Mouser clearly has the upper hand these days. Received wrong parts and a module with transistors ripped off is just....unacceptable. Especially on time sensitive projects.

4 years ago, Gregobego

Not Intuitive

This app is not as good as the Digikey website. It’s not intuitive and it has limited filtering

3 years ago, Professor William Maythorne

Slow, Buggy, Bad UI

It's slow. It's buggy. The user interface isn't great.

4 years ago, mtnmikeconfused

Why bother

This iOS app is nonsense compared to the web version. Parts search by parameters is impossible. Or so obscured I can’t select just what I am looking for. This app is gone.

Was great now not great

New version has bugs - can’t even get the filter to work

Keeps logging me out

The requirement to login each time defeats the purpose of using an app. I’ll just use a web page.

What happened?

I’ve been using this app for years and in the last few updates things have gone 1st gen. YOU DON’T UPGRADE YOUR GRAPHICS INTERFACE AT THE COST OF LOSING YOUR MAIN FUNCTIONALITY. You can no longer sort or filter parts. What to find a new micro-B connector? Search “micro b” AND EVERY MICRO-B SEARCH RESULT IS PULLED UP WITH NO FILTERS OR CATEGORIES! WORTHLESS! To: Digi-Key Please stop screwing this up. We use your app every day. Now we can’t.
