Just a tip to help users of the Android version of the Starbuck’s app. If you try to make a mobile order using the app, but you see no stores on the map view and see the error message “No stores nearby available” or similar, there is a fix for this.
The problem appears to be that the Starbuck’s app requires “permission” to access the Location information on your phone – but the permission to do so was not set.
You can uninstall and re-install the app to get this working again (the re-install should prompt you to set the Location permission), or:
Go in to Android Settings | Apps | Starbucks | Permissions and find the item “Your location” and set the permission “switch” to the right (or blue) to enable access to location information on your phone.
Update – recent versions of Android will, over time, “expire” the Location permission setting of apps that have not been used in some time. This means, if you have not used your Starbucks apps for some amount of time, the Location permission may have been disabled. You’ll need to turn permission back on for Location.
