Get a cup of joe with Starbucks for Android (pictures)
Take a closer look at the Starbucks Android app.
Get your coffee fix
The Starbucks mobile app helps you quickly pay for your food and drinks at the popular cafe chain, and earn perks while you shop.
Pay now
The main screen of the Android app looks rather bland, but it makes it easy to pay for your purchase with a single tap. You can tap the "pay now" button to pay with your default card.
Scan to pay
When you tap the "pay now" button, the app gives you a barcode that you can show to your Starbucks cashier to pay. They'll scan the barcode to complete your purchase.
Top off your card
The Starbucks app works like a digital gift card, and you'll need to reload it when your balance gets too low in order to keep using the app and earn rewards. You can save a default payment method and add between $10 and $100 at a time in $5 increments.
Earn your gold stars
One of the biggest features in the app is the rewards system, which gives you discounts and free stuff for using the app every time you head to Starbucks. In the app, you can see how many stars you earn, which affects which perks you get.
Find a Starbucks
If you're ever in search of a nearby Starbucks, you can use the app to look for a cafe.
