Forty-six percent of respondents said that the user experience across multiple mobile devices was "inconsistent and frustrating."

Some of the stated reasons for frustration include slow load times, not enough information being made available and an inconsistent user experience.

But a poor mobile experience hasn't stopped consumers from shopping on their phones. According to the report published Friday, more people use their phone to shop than to do other tasks like bank or order food.
