Digi-Key Electronics

Good app for electronic engineers.

I love digikey, they always have whatever parts or supplies I need; but for being an electronics company, their app is among the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. The UI is incredibly buggy, things like having to tap below the button I’m trying to press, or having to add or remove search filters multiple times before it actually applies. But what really does it for me, is that half the time I try to add an item to my cart, it gives me a pop up that says something along the lines of “we’ve encountered an error, please try again later”. Furthermore, I haven’t been able to create or add anything to a wishlist. The final straw was earlier today, I had had enough and deleted then redownloaded the app. I figured I’d log in again and hopefully I can at least have a wishlist to add to. But nope! It won’t even let me sign in! It says something like “this account is pending and should be processed in 24 hours” EVEN THOUGH I’VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR WEEKS! I may be a small fry when compared to companies buying in bulk, but I will no longer buy from DigiKey until they fix this godawful app.

The app is pretty handy when making a parts list for a project. Would be extremely useful if DigiKey could add a parts cross reference/substitution feature. Always wind up having to buy obsolete parts from Chinese suppliers with questionable quality.

So nice to whip out my iPhone, open app and search for my parts. No more post it notes on notepads getting lost or forgotten where. Shipping is reasonable and so are prices for what these items are. Can’t run down to Walmart and pick this stuff up ya know. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

Comes in handy every time.

Constant 403/500, support is unresponsive.

DigiKey is a great company to work with. They are very friendly and knowledgeable.

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

Please make it a little faster though? Redesign still buggy and no sort by on values

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???
