To make shopping even more enjoyable, use mobile apps. Which? The most convenient and useful ones are in this article.

A smartphone in the hands of a buyer is a sales consultant, an expert in discounts, and a girlfriend who tells you whether a thing suits your needs. Provided that the correct devices are installed in the phone. Today we'll talk about applications that will help you keep abreast of new products and find the right products at competitive prices.

Yandex Market

"Mobile consultant on goods and prices" - this is how Yandex describes its application, in which you can find almost any product, from children's toys to car parts. "Market" allows you to study the characteristics and reviews, and most importantly - compare prices in various online and offline stores. In this case, you can immediately see on the map where a particular store is located. Thanks to numerous filters, it is convenient to select the desired item according to one or another criterion (brand, color, size, cost, weight, and so on).

Another useful feature is scanning barcodes or QR codes. You walk around the mall, saw a cute little thing, scanned the barcode with your mobile phone camera and found out where this product can be bought at the lowest price. It is also convenient that you can use Yandex. Market on your computer, and then continue your search from where you left off on your smartphone. And vice versa.

Avito

You can buy not only in stores, but also from your hands. The main assistant in this is the application of Avito, the largest classifieds website in Russia. Using it, you can find offers for the sale of almost any product: from electronics to real estate. You can save the ads you like and track the products you want.

In addition, if you have placed your ad on Avito yourself, it will be convenient to manage it with the application.

ZenMall Shopping

This is your personal guide to the world of online shopping. It helps to find and buy all kinds of goods collected in various online stores. Using the application, you can create a wishlist and share it with your friends on social networks.

You can also view the feeds of other users and save the products you are interested in to bookmarks. It's a great source for finding gift ideas and an elegant way to hint what you're dreaming of. There is a chat to discuss shopping.

If a new interesting offer has appeared in the online store or a sale is underway, the service will notify you about it.

Application not found

Glamor Shopping

The application from the popular women's magazine allows you to keep abreast of fashion trends and save on purchases.

The application will help you choose the most relevant clothes, shoes and accessories of the season, as well as introduce you to beauty novelties. In addition to catalogs and lookbooks of various brands, the application provides information on discounts (more than two thousand stores throughout Russia) and store locations.

Wizee Shopping

The application helps to save a lot of time: with it you do not need to spend hours looking for the same blouse or handbag, wandering from boutique to boutique in the shopping center. You go into the catalog, where collections of popular brands are collected, and you see where you can buy the desired item. The application will tell you the way to the store and allow you to show off your choice in social networks.

You cannot find out the specific price of the product from the application, but you can be aware of the discounts of stores located in a particular shopping center. There are also movie schedules in the cinemas of the shopping center, the layout of payment terminals and eateries - all this in case you want to take a break during shopping. "Wizee Shopping" is free and currently covers 11 cities in Russia and Kiev.

ShopPoints

An application where you can earn points and exchange them for gifts. Points are awarded for checks in partner stores and scanning the barcodes of their products. Having accumulated a certain number of points, you can receive a present or a gift certificate from the seller.

Also in the application you can find information about promotions and discounts. The main disadvantage of the service is that it only works in Moscow. The app is free. Read the full review.

Groupon

Groupon is a large discount service where you can find great deals on goods and services. At the same time, more than 50% of sales on the "Groupon" are made through the mobile application, which already has more than 92 million downloads.

Information about price reductions for various things is in the "Shopping" section. By clicking on the product card, you can find out about the details of the promotion and its expiration date. You can buy and use discount coupons directly from your phone.

MyDiscoCard

Many stores, in order to increase customer loyalty, introduce a system of discount cards. Over time, the buyer accumulates a dozen plastic rectangles in his wallet. It is not very convenient to carry them with you. This is where the MyDiscoCard application comes in. You can add your discount cards to it by entering their numbers or scanning barcodes. Then, when buying, you will only need to show the phone screen.

A big plus of MyDiscoCard is that the application informs about promotions of stores whose discount cards you have. Also, with the help of it, it is easy to find the nearest shop where your card is accepted. However, judging by the reviews, not all marketplaces trust the smartphone.

Global Blue

Tax Free is a system that compensates foreigners for value added tax when shopping in foreign countries. The amount of tax overpayment is refunded during or after crossing the state border. For more information on how this works,.

One of the companies involved in VAT refunds is called Global Blue. She has an iOS app that makes Tax-Free shopping easier.

With its help, you can find a store where there is the desired product and the cherished Tax Free sign. The app also contains detailed instructions on the refund procedure. Developers in the near future promise to Russify Global Blue and release an Android version.

Sizer

The size of the husband's shirt, the child's shoes, the sister's outerwear - it is impossible to keep all this information in your head, and there is no need. Sizer will allow you to create a card for each family member and at the right time check whether this or that thing is suitable for a loved one.

In addition, the app takes into account size differences in the US, Europe, Japan, and Russia. There is no need to be afraid that you will confuse the size when buying abroad or in foreign online stores. A detailed overview of Sizer is in this one.

There are many shopping apps. We deliberately left out barcode scanners and shopping lists: too many to highlight the best. Nevertheless, we hope that this list will help you become a real connoisseur and purchase quality items at reasonable prices.
