The Best iPhone Shopping Apps – October 2017
Mobile shopping is the single largest growth sector in the country. While other industries may be struggling, mobile ecommerce is doing very well. With the smartphone taking over more of our lives, it’s natural that it wants to help us when buying stuff, especially if companies can influence our decisions.
If you’re looking for the best iPhone shopping apps for 2017, this list is for you. All apps are current, all are safe and all provide fast, credible results that are worth your time and money.
Amazon
The Amazon app is understandably keen to part you with your money but is a very good app nonetheless. It works quickly, has a barcode scanner and can identify products from an image. Take a picture of something on your phone and the app can quickly identify what it is and point to towards one on sale within the Amazon website. It’s fast, simple to use, bug free and as polished as you would expect.

Consumer Reports Mobile Shopper
If you use Consumer Reports for product research, you may benefit from the Consumer Reports Mobile Shopper app too. It provides access to all their reviews, ratings and Best Buys. It doesn’t include everything on the website and doesn’t currently include autos, but other than that is pretty good at what it does. While not necessarily useful for buying, it is essential for research. The app does cost $9.99 though, which is a bit steep.

Shopstyle
Shopstyle is a great app for widening your product search. With access to over 1,400 brands and thousands of products, this app is very useful. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, trying to create a look or wanting something specific, chances are you’ll find it on here. The app works fast, has very few issues and simply gets the job done.
Etsy
Etsy is perfect for anyone who likes homemade, bespoke, original and crafty products. The website itself should need no introduction but the app is pretty good too. It offers access to the store side of the site and quickly finds, categorizes and highlights products, searches and more. It’s easy to browse too if you just want to kill some time or get inspiration.

ShopSavvy
ShopSavvy is for the buyer who loves a discount. Add a product into the app and it will monitor prices and let you know when it’s on sale or discounted. As long as you don’t need the product immediately, this is a great way to buy the latest items for less than retail. The app works fine and seems very good at tracking the best prices. Even comparing them using other websites fails to beat it most of the time.
Groupon
No list of the best iPhone shopping apps would be complete without mentioning Groupon. The ultimate discount and deal finder builds on the success of the website and brings it to mobile. It offers all the same discounts and deals as the site, works well and can tell you if you’re close to somewhere that offers a discount, especially restaurants. This app is a must have if you like your retail therapy.

ASOS
ASOS has shaken up retail for the better and has grown into something of a monster. Keeping this app on your iPhone can keep you up to date with the latest deals, show you ideas for the party or alert you to special offers and sales. The app is very tidy, works very well and just does what it is supposed to do. What more could you ask?
Gilt
Gilt offers premium products at discount prices. It is a flash sale finder that does a very good job of alerting its 10 million members to flash sales of everything from clothing to décor, electronics to handbags. All from designer brands. If you’re a savvy shopper and don’t mind waiting until the product you’re looking for is in one of these flash sales, this is for you.
Poshmark
Poshmark is useful both for finding new clothes and for making room in your wardrobe for more new clothes. It’s like eBay for clothing that is in excellent condition and works very well indeed. You can find and sell anything from wedding dresses to hats. Despite the name, it covers all levels of fashion from premium to bargain and there are some serious deals to be had.
