Shopping online is pretty much the way to shop these days. Brick and mortar stores are fun, but at the end of the day, the ability to pick up your mobile device and search for stuff online is just infinitely more convenient. There are a ton of ways and apps you can use to shop for stuff on your mobile device. Here are the best shopping apps for Android.
Here are some more tangentially related shopping apps for your viewing pleasure!
No shopping apps list would be complete without Amazon. It's the proverbial mega-mall of the Internet and millions of people use it every year. You can find practically any kind of product you can think of and the addition of things like Amazon Pantry even let you shop for food and beverage items. They also have things like Lightning Deals and Deals of the Day where you can find stuff on the cheap if you keep up on it. It's quick, simple, and easy to understand. You probably already have an account, you might as well use it. You can pay extra to get Amazon Prime which also adds some additional shopping features.
CL Mobile is among the best apps for Craigslist. You can do virtually anything you can do from actual Craigslist. That includes surfing the site, searching for things, adding filters, and more. You can even post from the app in case you want to sell something. It also lets you save searches. Craigslist isn't great for every day shopping. However, you can find the occasional diamond in the rough there. That makes it one of the better shopping apps to try.
eBay is another ubiquitous name in online shopping. It's been around forever and everyone knows what it is. The app is pretty decent and lets you do pretty much everything you can do on the website including bidding, searching, purchasing, and checking on items that you're selling. You can find some great stuff here for good prices if you're patient enough. It may not be an every day kind of app like Amazon but it's still fun to browse to see what you might find. It's one of those shopping apps that's always fun to just browse.
Etsy is kind of like the flea market of the Internet for indie artists and designers. There are well over ten million items from 800,000 sellers. You'll no doubt find some truly unique, one of a kind stuff on Etsy and a good percentage of them are produced on limited runs. The app allows you to explore and buy items as well as manage your shop if you're a seller. It also comes with Google Wallet and PayPal support for easier check outs and you can find upcoming events from sellers in your area for exclusive items. It's one of the more unique shopping apps because many things there are one-of-a-kind.
Facebook's app is horrible. However, their marketplace is one of their better ideas. You can surf for things on sale by other people in your general area. There are all kinds of things there. You can find cars, video games, cloths, or whatever you want. It is a lot like Craigslist. Most of the stuff is someone else's treasure. However, you can find something awesome there on occasion. Many people already have Facebook. You might as well take advantage of the service, right? It's one of the better shopping apps for localized stuff.
Here are some more app lists you might like!
Geek is one of the better shopping apps for sales. It's a lot like Wish. You can find things on sale for steep discounts. Most of it isn't any good. You can find the occasional gem, though. Geek claims to go directly to manufacturers. That supposedly gets them the best prices on stuff. There are a lot of these steep discount style apps. This one seems to do better than most. Just be sure to very closely read the description and user reviews before actually buying anything.
Google Search has a built-in shopping app along with all of the other stuff it does. Whenever you make a search for a product, you have the option of tapping the Shopping tab. You'll be able to see the item you searched for, what it costs, and most of the websites that will sell it. This is a great way to price check against various stores. You can then open that store's app or just use your browser to finish your purchases. It's a great way to window shop and find virtually anything.
Groupon is another coupons app and arguably the most well-known on this list. It claims to be able to deals for up to 50%-70% off of quality items although in most cases it's less than that. Using the mobile app, you can buy and participate in deals, track your purchased vouchers, and redeem coupons using the app. There are some more advanced features for those who are really into coupons. You can also share deals with friends and family, track deals by location and expiration date, and more. It's a solid coupons app. It also works for online stores and the usual brick-and-mortar stores.
Jet is a unique shopping app that lets you shop for various things and get savings when you buy certain "smart items" together. It has a ton of stuff for sale so it shouldn't be hard to find what you're looking for. You'll also get free shipping once your order amount gets high enough and you'll also get Android Pay support, one-click re-ordering, and some odd, but unique tactics like giving you the opportunity to waive return rights in order to save a bit more money. It looks like fun and it's worth a shot.
Krazy Koupon Lady is definitely among the best shopping apps. It's not for your general string of merchandise, though. This one has coupons for everywhere, including stores like Walmart, Target, CVS, Wahgreens, and others. It also surfs coupons from Coupons.com, Ibotta, and Checkout 51. It even has tutorials and videos that teach you how to coupon properly. It's not a traditional shopping app, but we like to think outside of the box here. This is a good app for people who buy things.
We have some more recommendations for you!
Newegg is one of the best shopping apps for electronics. You can find all kinds of stuff here. That includes individual components, consumer products, computers, games, office, software, and more. It even has stuff like vacuum cleaners and watches. The company competes directly with brick-and-mortar stores like Best Buy. It does so quite well. Shipping is generally good and the customer service is highly regarded. The Premier account costs $49.99 per year. It's kind of like their version of Amazon Prime. They also accept PayPal.
RetailMeNot is one of the most popular coupon apps out there. It features coupons for all kinds of stuff. That includes fashion, beauty products, food delivery, vacation, home and garden, and a lot more. Most coupons are for recognized brands such as JCPenney, Kohl's, and even Amazon. You can't buy stuff from the app itself. However, a timely coupon can get you in the car on your way to go buy stuff. It also features a GPS feature that'll try to show you coupons for places nearby.
Shopular is a lot like RetailMeNot. It's a coupons app with a ton of deals for a ton of places. You'll find stuff for recognized brands like Macy's, Target, Cartwheel, and more. It also has a GPS feature. It'll pop up sales and coupons when stores are nearby. It also covers over 1,000 malls. Some of the notifications can be a little bothersome. However, you can turn most of them off if you want to. It's a free app and it can definitely help save a few bucks while shopping.
Wish is one of the better shopping apps for sales. It boasts the ability to get people up to 80% off of some items. That doesn't mean the items are high quality. However, a sale is a sale. The app is a lot like Craigslist. It doesn't have people selling things. However, you can find the occasional diamond-in-the-rough here. The app itself is good and easy to use. There are also a few categories to help keep things in line. Wish is good, but it's not going to blow your socks off.
Brick-and-mortar stores and making a larger push toward mobile shopping apps. This is to compete with the big dogs like Amazon and others. There are tons of options out there, including Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and other retail stores. You can even find smaller specialty store apps like Gamestop, individual brand shops like Abercrombie and Fitch, and many others. They won't have a selection like the mega-stores such as Amazon, but it's a good place to go if you're looking for something very specific. Plus, most have the ability to ship to a store (or pick up from a store) so you can pick it up there if you don't want something delivered to your home.
