Yes. Just try to use it on a slightly poor mobile signal, like when actually in a Home Depot store.

I'm remodeling a house and I end up having to go to one of three HD stores that are each about five miles from the house. Each is in a slightly different area demographically and thus has a different selection of stuff, and each has a very different layout.

Their listing of stock and aisle/bin makes it easy to find what I need, but the site is so awful on mobile that I'll often look things up at home on a full PC, write down locations, then go.

On mobile I've seen the layout shift all over, the search break if I touch something or scroll after I submit a query, checking the "in stock items" box sometimes breaks my session. It's awful.



I'd suggest using the app over the mobile website. If you are in store, it will tell you where in the store the items are (Bay and Aisle) which is super useful.


The site will do that too, without being an app installed on my device collecting... stuff? If only it'd work well.

(I tend to eschew apps however much I can. But maybe I should just suck it up until this project is done.)


The Home Depot mobile app is pretty nice. It's significantly easier and faster to use, especially while in a store. Along with the quick location toggles/searches, it's worth checking out.
