Like Costco? This universal app makes it easy to find Costco locations nearest you (or far away). With or without service. Filter by store amenity.
Why make this locator app when one can find them in other ways?
- Two types and icons: with or without gas.
- Filter stores on map from a variety of amenities and store features.
- This app is universal for all iOS devices. Most locators are not.
- Find the nearest ones to you right now on the map view. You dont need a zipcode.
- Planning ahead for other places? Type a city in the search box and jump there on the map.
- No service to display maps? Use the in-app manual lookup. This is a big reason. Other locator apps always require service. When you want to find something, you want to find it fast no matter what.
- Tap a location for more information such as distance from your current location, phone number, address, store hours, amenities and directions.
- Easily report errors, changes, closures or post important comments from each locations detail view.
- Includes any user RV/Truck access and parking reports. For all features and best results, a GPS enabled device is recommended but this is designed to run and look good on all devices. The data is stored locally on your device. Using the manual lookup button, you can find places by state and city without internet service. You can list all places or just one preferred location.
This data is North America only right now.

Latest reviews of Finding Costco app for iPhone and iPad
We have been waiting for this APP! As we travel we always look for Costco stores because we depend on them for the lowest gas prices. This APP Is Awesome! It not only tells us where they are but it guides us to the front door and gives us their phone number if to boot.
The iPhone App needs a basic list function of 10 closest Costco to you with distance from your location. Just a map does not cut it. Add that I would give it 5 Stars.
I could easily just use the Google Maps app on my iphone to find the closest Costco, but this app is worth the 99 cents because it is uncluttered and it quickly tells me not only the locations of all the Costcos in America, but it also uses Blue and Red pins on the map to tell me which Costcos sell gas and which ones do not. Improvement I would like to see... It would be great if when I tap on the apps "Directions" button... it would give me the option to pick directions from either Google Maps, or from the Navigon and TomTom apps I already have installed on my iphone. Both Navigon and TomTom have made it very easy to integrate access to their apps into other apps. This apps logo is ugly, I am sure the developer can do better than that!
Im really surprised Costco hasnt written their own app to do the same thing (in addition to serving up coupons, maps of store interiors, push "deals" inside the stores, food court ordering, etc.). In the absence of an official Costco app, this does exactly what it advertises. Its handy to be able to see which locations have gas stations and its very handy to be able to search for locations even with poor (or no) cell signal. Id really like to see the app report store and gas station hours so I know if the gas station is still open. Id also like to have quick access to the direct numbers for departments inside the store. A "get directions via..." button would also be useful, as already mentioned by others.
Also, after I clicked on a store location, when I then scrolled around the map, other store locations didnt show up. They may consider that a feature, but its not intuitive.
