Lifestyle » ShopSavvy Review Write review

ShopSavvy is an app for the Android platform that helps you find out more information about a product. With ShopSavvy, you have the ability to find a product based on its barcode or title. This app is very similar to CompareEverywhere in many ways, but does provide different style.

When searching for a product, you can either use the camera to read the barcode, enter the number in manually, or type out the title. After that, ShopSavvy will search through its database to try and find a listing for that item. If it locates the item, it will provide you with additional information for it.

Each item you search for is saved in your history but you can also move it over to your wishlist. This is a pretty neat feature that allows you to organize your searches a little bit. If ShopSavvy finds a price drop on any of the items you search, it will list it in your Price Alerts area. This is a great way to find a deal on something you really want.

With two very similar apps out on launch day, it's really a toss up to see which one takes the lead. ShopSavvy has a different style, interface, and provides price alerts, making it really handy. If you shop a lot, you may want to check this app out.

ShopSavvy > CompareEverywhere

User rated 4/5
Review by Coz

The additional features of ShopSavvy provide incentives to use it over the very similar CompareEverywhere. I originally had both apps on my phone, of which I can no longer locate the CompareEverywhere in the market after doing a master reset, and still preferred ShopSavvy. I think the Wishlist and Price Alert being readily available on the screen where the prices are shown is extremely handy. It also helps you remember what you've looked up so you don't have to waste your time doing it again, which can be accessed from that same screen.

The only drawback is that sometimes the locations are a little off, or products scan or lookup incorrectly. For instance, my bag of Nacho Doritos scans as a pressure cooker (yikes), and a bottle of DeSolv-It stain remover scanned as a pornography DVD. The laughs myself and friends got out of the latter might make the mistakes worth having around, though.
