    Brad’s Deals | Curated Deals

    Review score: 70 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 42,593 ratings

    A curated deal aggregator with a long track record. Real staff verify each deal and respond to complaints. The main weakness is a past update that removed categories, which hurt navigation and has only been partially restored.

    Praised

    The editorial team manually checks every deal and moves quickly when something turns out to be wrong or expired.

    Complaints

    After categories were removed, filtering became inconsistent and menswear gets mixed in with womenswear.

    Best for: Budget-conscious shoppers in the US who want verified deals without manually monitoring sites themselves.

    Nordstrom

    Review score: 67 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 1,448,768 ratings

    One of the best experiences in the category: easy search, a generous return policy, and consistently good service. The main weak spots are third-party carriers and filters that sometimes return irrelevant results.

    Praised

    Reliable return policy and a consistently high level of customer service.

    Complaints

    Clothing filters sometimes ignore the parameters you set and show unrelated items.

    Best for: Mid-range and premium shoppers for whom service matters more than the lowest price.

    KCL: Coupons, Deals, Discounts

    Review score: 65 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 180,709 ratings

    One of the best coupon and deal aggregators in the US: it covers hundreds of stores and new offers appear quickly. The main issues are an unreliable in-app search, codes that turn out to be expired, and occasional outages that lock users out for days.

    Praised

    Shoppers appreciate the broad store coverage and the fact that the app helps them save on items they would never have noticed were on sale.

    Complaints

    The search bar has been broken for a long time, and there is no way to mark expired codes so others can be warned.

    Best for: Budget shoppers who regularly buy at US chain stores.

Ranks 4–95

  1. Faire Wholesale

    Rank 4. Review score: 65 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 61,487 ratings

    A wholesale platform for independent retailers that genuinely changes the game: Net 90, access to small-batch orders from brands, and straightforward catalog navigation. The weak points are vendor verification and the lack of phone support when disputes arise.

    Praised: Net 90 terms and the ability to order small quantities open up access to brands that previously only worked with large wholesalers.

    Complaints: The verification process is opaque: a legitimate business can be rejected without explanation and with no right of appeal.

    Best for: Owners of small retail shops in the US.

  2. Etsy: Shop Home, Style & More

    Rank 5. Review score: 62 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 7,146,148 ratings

    Etsy is a marketplace for handmade goods and hard-to-find items where real sellers often exceed expectations, but AI-generated spam listings and the inability to block sellers have noticeably degraded search.

    Praised: This is where people find things that exist nowhere else: custom pieces, antiques, and items from real makers.

    Complaints: The catalog is increasingly clogged with auto-generated listings that you have to sift through to reach an actual maker.

    Best for: Gift and home decor shoppers willing to spend time filtering in search of something unique.

  3. adidas: Shop Shoes & Clothing

    Rank 6. Review score: 62 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 790,571 ratings

    The app handles basic shopping well, but the order tracker is broken (the button takes you to the catalog), search is unintuitive, and support does not restore orders after platform-side technical failures. Pre-sales get confirmed but never fulfilled.

    Praised: A wide range clearly organized by product line and regular exclusive launches.

    Complaints: Order tracking does not work: the button leads to a product page instead of a delivery status.

    Best for: Adidas brand fans who buy direct to guarantee authenticity.

  4. ThredUp: Online Thrift Store

    Rank 7. Review score: 62 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 302,061 ratings

    The online thrift concept works and buyers genuinely find items and come back. The main issues are product-level: item condition descriptions lack detail, stains and defects often go unmentioned, and the return process requires an extra shipping fee.

    Praised: Regular buyers build their entire wardrobe through ThredUp and recommend it to friends as a replacement for traditional stores.

    Complaints: Condition descriptions are not detailed enough: stains and defects frequently go unmentioned and are not shown in photos.

    Best for: Conscious shoppers who want to build a secondhand wardrobe without visiting a physical store.

  5. FARFETCH - Shop Luxury Fashion

    Rank 8. Review score: 62 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 212,843 ratings

    The best luxury fashion aggregator for catalog depth and ease of browsing brands and boutiques. The main vulnerability is a slow support team when orders need to be canceled, and a first-purchase promo code that fails to apply for the majority of new users.

    Praised: Shoppers highlight the rich selection of independent boutiques and detailed product cards with multiple angles.

    Complaints: Registration promo codes systematically fail to apply, and support does not resolve this quickly.

    Best for: Luxury fashion enthusiasts looking for rare brands and limited collections.

  6. PUMA | Clothes & Sneakers App

    Rank 9. Review score: 62 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 107,076 ratings

    The Puma app itself is genuinely convenient and well organized, and the products earn sincere praise for quality. However, delivery and customer support are inconsistent: addresses can get mixed up and there is no way to change the shipping address after placing an order.

    Praised: The app interface is clean and fast, making it easy to find the right model and size.

    Complaints: There is no way to change the shipping address after checkout, and support does not help in that situation.

    Best for: Puma brand fans who buy direct for exclusive colorways.

  7. Blinkit: Groceries & more

    Rank 10. Review score: 62 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 46,433 ratings

    Delivery speed is the main advantage and it genuinely delivers. The problems center on fresh produce packaging quality and a lack of transparency in the final order total. For emergency purchases the app is useful, but for planned shopping reliability is inconsistent.

    Praised: Delivery in minutes works consistently and delivery personnel handle problems politely.

    Complaints: Fresh produce and fruit arrive in poor condition and packaging does not protect the items.

    Best for: Urban residents in India who need emergency delivery of groceries and everyday essentials.

  8. DealSeek: Coupons & Discounts

    Rank 11. Review score: 62 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 41,475 ratings

    A coupon aggregator for Amazon that works in about half of cases. A significant share of codes fail to validate at checkout, which undermines the core use case.

    Praised: Users find live promo codes on Amazon that add an extra 20% or more on top of existing sale discounts.

    Complaints: A significant share of coupons do not apply at checkout.

    Best for: Amazon deal hunters.

  9. Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery

    Rank 12. Review score: 58 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 5,172,289 ratings

    Sam's Club is a membership warehouse with a genuinely convenient curbside pickup and a Scan and Go feature that makes in-store trips fast. The online catalog is noticeably narrower than the physical warehouse and shipped items sometimes arrive carelessly packed.

    Praised: Scan and Go in-store and contactless curbside pickup work great and genuinely save time.

    Complaints: The online catalog does not cover all the merchandise available in-club, which frustrates regular members.

    Best for: Club members who stock up in bulk and value speed at pickup.

  10. Abercrombie & Fitch

    Rank 13. Review score: 58 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 315,919 ratings

    The quality of the clothing is consistently praised even by dissatisfied shoppers, but the technical side lets people down: order history does not display, wish lists get cleared, and support is unreachable. Size guides are poorly described, leading to ordering mistakes.

    Praised: Clothing maintains quality even by premium-segment standards, and regular shoppers return for specific cuts.

    Complaints: Order history and wish lists disappear regularly and there is no way to reach support through the app.

    Best for: Brand fans willing to pay for quality and put up with technical glitches.

  11. PhonePe: Secure Payments App

    Rank 14. Review score: 58 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 162,107 ratings

    Fast UPI payments and a clear interface make PhonePe a working tool for the Indian diaspora, but the app aggressively prompts for ratings, sends persistent notifications, and provides no way to turn them off. Functionality outside India is limited.

    Praised: Users praise the speed of transactions and the fact that a payment goes through in just a few seconds.

    Complaints: Informational notifications unrelated to payments cannot be disabled, and there is no real support for users outside India.

    Best for: The Indian diaspora sending money home via UPI.

  12. IKEA

    Rank 15. Review score: 58 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 142,025 ratings

    The IKEA app works as a catalog and in-store assistant, but navigation is confusing, product photos are uninformative, and refunds take a very long time to process. The AR furniture placement feature freezes.

    Praised: It is convenient to check whether a specific item is in stock at the nearest store before making the trip.

    Complaints: Photos of white furniture on a white background make it impossible to understand what the piece actually looks like.

    Best for: Shoppers who already know the exact model they want and just need to check availability.

  13. MANGO - Online fashion

    Rank 16. Review score: 56 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 54,793 ratings

    Mango has loyal customers who have been coming back for years. The app fails technically: returns cannot be processed through it, tracking is inconvenient, and the checkout button is alarming because there is no intermediate screen showing the final total.

    Praised: Regular customers value the recognizable style and consistent clothing quality from season to season.

    Complaints: Returns through the app are often unavailable due to technical errors, forcing shoppers to use a browser or visit a store.

    Best for: Loyal Mango shoppers who prefer a minimalist European aesthetic.

  14. Target: Shop. Style. Save.

    Rank 17. Review score: 55 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 6,760,683 ratings

    Target is a strong multi-format retailer with a convenient Drive Up and clear app navigation, but recurring crashes and freezes at checkout undermine the entire online shopping experience.

    Praised: Drive Up works seamlessly: order, pull in, pick up without queuing or hunting for parking.

    Complaints: The online catalog is not synced with actual stock: you often order something only to find it is unavailable at the nearest store.

    Best for: Families who combine online ordering with quick curbside pickup at their local Target.

  15. Macy's: Shop, Save, and Earn

    Rank 18. Review score: 55 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 2,307,749 ratings

    The catalog is rich and the loyalty program works, but filters have been broken for over six months and orders occasionally get canceled without explanation. Long-time customers still trust the brand, but the technical issues are slowly eroding that loyalty.

    Praised: Wide selection of branded clothing and a working rewards program.

    Complaints: Filters freeze when sorting, turning the search for a specific size or style into a lottery.

    Best for: Department store regulars who value having many brands in one place.

  16. Nordstrom Rack: Shop Deals

    Rank 19. Review score: 55 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 722,117 ratings

    Wrong items and wrong sizes are reported by multiple buyers, and the store refuses to correct its mistakes during returns. Checkout is unstable and search filters need improvement. That said, the selection of branded items at reduced prices is a genuine draw.

    Praised: High-quality branded items at outlet prices with a convenient sale section.

    Complaints: Wrong items are shipped regularly and the store does not always correct its own mistakes when items are returned.

    Best for: Deal hunters who live near a physical location for returns.

  17. Urban Outfitters

    Rank 20. Review score: 55 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 536,529 ratings

    The assortment and clothing quality are praised, but navigation by gender breaks the experience, login keeps crashing, and the rewards system behaves unpredictably. Rebranded sections from Edikted cause frustration with no option to hide them.

    Praised: Unique, well-made items that keep shoppers coming back.

    Complaints: Gender filtering does not work correctly and user preferences are not saved.

    Best for: Fans of original urban style who are willing to tolerate a finicky app.

  18. Etsy Seller: Manage Your Shop

    Rank 21. Review score: 55 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 55,596 ratings

    The app gives sellers mobile access to orders and buyer messages, but functionality falls short of the web version: listing management is limited, shipping cost calculations are wrong, and a recent update broke the shop-switcher.

    Praised: Quick access to new orders and buyer conversations directly from your phone.

    Complaints: Full listing management is only possible through a browser. Uploading photos and editing variants in the app work poorly.

    Best for: Etsy sellers who need mobile order monitoring.

  19. Shopify: Sell online/in person

    Rank 22. Review score: 55 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 38,274 ratings

    The e-commerce platform handles the basics of getting a store launched, but the mobile app lags behind the web version and the key metrics screen degrades after each major update.

    Praised: Fast store launch with no technical knowledge required and a full set of tools for managing catalog and orders on the go.

    Complaints: The analytics on the home screen is cluttered with Shopify self-promotion and became hard to read after the Spring26 update.

    Best for: Small sellers who need to get an online store up and running quickly.

  20. YOOX: Shop fashion online

    Rank 23. Review score: 53 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 42,023 ratings

    A twenty-year archive of past-season inventory at good prices is a working concept, but operational problems have piled up: orders get canceled after payment is confirmed, items labeled as new discounts sometimes mask a price increase, and support has deteriorated. The product survives on the strength of its assortment.

    Praised: A unique archive of past-season pieces from well-known brands at a real discount.

    Complaints: Orders are canceled after payment is confirmed with no attempt to find an alternative or retain the customer.

    Best for: Fashion enthusiasts hunting for archive pieces from known labels at reduced prices.

  21. Wayfair – Shop All Things Home

    Rank 24. Review score: 52 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 2,530,215 ratings

    Wayfair is the largest online home goods store with a wide selection and decent delivery speed for large items, but product photos systematically differ from reality and returns for items that do not match their description have unexpectedly become paid.

    Praised: Enormous selection of furniture and decor with free shipping and reasonably fast delivery of large orders.

    Complaints: Product photos often do not represent the actual item. Stitching, texture, and color all differ, and returning something that was the seller's mistake comes at the buyer's expense.

    Best for: Furniture and home decor shoppers who read photo reviews carefully before ordering.

  22. StockX - Sneakers and Apparel

    Rank 25. Review score: 52 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 1,249,106 ratings

    Authentication of every item genuinely works and sets the platform apart from alternatives, but the final price with fees is noticeably above market and delivery can stretch to two weeks or longer. For buyers who need a guarantee of authenticity, the trade-off is acceptable.

    Praised: Mandatory verification of every item provides real protection against counterfeits.

    Complaints: Opaque fee stacking makes the final price noticeably higher than what you see when browsing.

    Best for: Sneaker and streetwear collectors willing to pay for authenticity guarantees.

  23. Newegg - Tech Shopping Online

    Rank 26. Review score: 52 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 143,796 ratings

    A specialized tech retailer with strong catalog depth, but a recent major update broke navigation and search. Marketplace sellers are increasingly listing questionable goods without adequate screening.

    Praised: One of the few places where you can actually find rare components and peripherals outside of Amazon.

    Complaints: Search does not handle precise queries well and results get lost when switching between apps.

    Best for: Hardcore PC enthusiasts who know exactly what they are looking for.

  24. Slickdeals: Deals & Discounts

    Rank 27. Review score: 52 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 101,791 ratings

    The deal-hunting community remains valuable, but the app is degrading: categories are buried behind multiple taps, ads open with an accidental scroll touch, and deal comments fail to load on the first try. Moderation of listings from non-Amazon retailers is weak.

    Praised: A live community that verifies real discounts and warns about unreliable sellers.

    Complaints: Category navigation is broken after a redesign. Finding a specific niche without using search is nearly impossible.

    Best for: US deal hunters willing to tolerate bugs.

  25. Back Market - Buy & Sell

    Rank 28. Review score: 52 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 65,471 ratings

    The refurbished device concept works when you get a good seller: phones arrive like new. But quality control is inconsistent, with reports of dead devices on arrival, locked IMEIs, and condition ratings that do not match reality.

    Praised: A successful refurbished tech purchase delivers real savings with quality that feels close to new.

    Complaints: Pre-sale condition checks are inconsistent: the same 'Excellent' grade means very different things across different sellers.

    Best for: Shoppers who want to save on tech and are comfortable with the lottery-style uncertainty of condition.

  26. NET-A-PORTER: Luxury Fashion

    Rank 29. Review score: 52 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 49,260 ratings

    Product quality and packaging are at the level you expect from luxury, but support goes completely dark periodically for weeks at a time, and app-install promo codes fail to work in a systemic way. The core product is strong, but the operational layer is unreliable.

    Praised: Products arrive authentic, well packaged, and matching the description even for high-end brands.

    Complaints: Customer support disappears entirely for days at a time, leaving shoppers without help when they need to return something.

    Best for: Luxury clothing and accessories buyers who rarely return items.

  27. UNIQLO: Clothes Shopping

    Rank 30. Review score: 51 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 113,089 ratings

    Uniqlo clothing consistently earns high marks and the app handles the basics, but smart size recommendations were removed, online purchases cannot be returned in-store, and navigation is not intuitive. Browsing large catalogs lags.

    Praised: The feature for checking whether a specific size is available at the nearest store genuinely saves a wasted trip.

    Complaints: Online orders cannot be returned at a physical store and must be mailed back at an additional cost.

    Best for: Regular Uniqlo shoppers who know their size and want to check availability.

  28. H&M

    Rank 31. Review score: 50 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 231,769 ratings

    A wide, accessible clothing range, but the new app design sacrifices usability for aesthetics: heavy animations, unclear photos, and prices in the cart that differ from the product page. Stock availability notifications do not work.

    Praised: Shoppers praise the price-to-quality ratio and how easy it is to pick up an order in-store.

    Complaints: Size charts are inaccurate and identical across all items even though the cut varies by piece.

    Best for: Young shoppers looking for affordable basics.

  29. Walmart: Shopping & Savings

    Rank 32. Review score: 48 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 17,637,996 ratings

    Walmart Shopping is a delivery aggregator relying on a third-party courier network. The main flaw is a pattern of items going missing from orders and unreliable handoff to the customer.

    Praised: Doorstep delivery saves a trip to the store and is genuinely convenient for hard-to-reach addresses.

    Complaints: Orders regularly arrive incomplete. Third-party drivers hand over fewer items than ordered, and this repeats again and again.

    Best for: Shoppers who live near a Walmart and are willing to accept the occasional loss.

  30. ZARA

    Rank 33. Review score: 48 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 413,163 ratings

    The clothing quality and design are praised consistently, but the app sacrifices usability for aesthetics: no user reviews, weak filtering, and checkout crashes while holding funds. Navigation is impractical even for loyal shoppers.

    Praised: The unique design and quality for the price point generate genuine loyalty.

    Complaints: User reviews on product listings are completely absent, leaving buyers with no reference point when choosing.

    Best for: Zara brand fans willing to tolerate an awkward interface for the designs.

  31. Shaw’s Deals & Delivery

    Rank 34. Review score: 48 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 212,289 ratings

    A convenient curbside pickup tool for regular Shaw's shoppers, but digital coupons frequently fail to apply and sale items run out before a customer can complete an order. Online returns for spoiled goods do not work through the app.

    Praised: Shoppers value the curbside pickup speed and the attentive staff at the counter.

    Complaints: Sale items go out of stock quickly and no automatic substitute is offered.

    Best for: Regular Shaw's shoppers saving time on the in-store trip.

  32. Lyst: Don’t Shop Around

    Rank 35. Review score: 48 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 84,270 ratings

    A luxury and mid-range fashion aggregator with solid brand search, but weak partner oversight: some stores accept payment and then cancel orders, and others redirect to sellers with questionable reputations. Size guides and product descriptions are incomplete.

    Praised: Brand search covers hundreds of stores at once and finds rare sizes where marketplaces fall short.

    Complaints: Partner stores are not screened for reliability: users get cancellations after payment or end up with counterfeit sellers.

    Best for: Branded fashion shoppers who are willing to verify sellers independently.

  33. ExpertVoice

    Rank 36. Review score: 48 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 59,466 ratings

    The concept is valuable: industry practitioners get access to brand discounts in exchange for expert reviews. In practice the app traps users in a login redirect loop, search does not filter properly, and the actual savings are smaller than advertised because MSRPs are inflated.

    Praised: Access to discounts from niche brands for tourism, sports, and outdoor industry professionals.

    Complaints: Filters and sorting are unreliable: there is no sort by discount size, and alphabetical order breaks periodically.

    Best for: Instructors, guides, and sports professionals who have been verified by the platform.

  34. CIDER - Clothing & Fashion

    Rank 37. Review score: 46 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 76,325 ratings

    A fast-fashion store with strong design and an active community, but logistics are unstable: packages get delayed on the last mile and sometimes delivered to the wrong address. Fabric quality has declined compared to the early years and returns come with a shipping fee.

    Praised: The designs are distinctive and expressive, and for many shoppers the items genuinely match the photos in terms of cut and appearance.

    Complaints: Last-mile delivery is unreliable: packages go to the wrong address and support is slow to resolve the issue.

    Best for: Young fashion shoppers looking for an unconventional style outside mainstream retail.

  35. DealMoon - Best Deals, Coupons

    Rank 38. Review score: 45 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 105,091 ratings

    DealMoon aggregates real discounts from major retailers and is useful as a coupon aggregator for Chinese-speaking shoppers in the US, but the content is diluted with off-topic posts, many deals are already expired by the time they appear, and unsubscribing from newsletters does not work.

    Praised: Deep coverage of sales at major US retailers for an audience that follows every deal.

    Complaints: Many displayed deals are already expired, and filtering current from stale offers became harder after an update.

    Best for: Chinese-speaking shoppers in the US hunting for coupons at major stores.

  36. Rainbow Shops

    Rank 39. Review score: 45 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 41,727 ratings

    Rainbow holds the affordable womenswear and size-inclusive niche, but the app is unstable: orders get canceled after a successful payment, clothing sections fail to load, and the size chart often does not match the actual garment. Physical stores perform better.

    Praised: A wide size range, including plus sizes, at affordable prices without compromising on style.

    Complaints: The size chart is inconsistent: the same size produces different results across different product categories.

    Best for: Shoppers looking for affordable, fashionable clothing with an extended size range.

  37. Amazon Shopping

    Rank 40. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 8,401,552 ratings

    Amazon Shopping offers the widest catalog on the market with capable search and reliable returns, but a forced AI search with no way to disable it and degraded app speed are ruining the product discovery experience.

    Praised: Enormous selection, fast returns, and Prime delivery work reliably for standard purchases.

    Complaints: The new AI assistant interrupts every search and cannot be turned off. Instead of results the user gets a conversation.

    Best for: Prime subscribers who need broad selection and predictable returns.

  38. Old Navy: Shop for New Clothes

    Rank 41. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 1,413,892 ratings

    Good selection of basics with clear on-model photos showing different body types, but the app suffers from a critical inventory bug where everything appears as sold out even though the website shows items in stock. Gender search also misbehaves.

    Praised: Seeing items on a range of body types helps you understand the real fit before buying.

    Complaints: The app consistently shows items as sold out when they are in stock on the website.

    Best for: Regular Old Navy shoppers who have switched to the website because of the app bugs.

  39. AliExpress - Shopping App

    Rank 42. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 631,861 ratings

    A third of orders do not match the description or photos, delivery is unpredictable, and the Choice program return policy turns out to be unavailable in practice. Gamification and aggressive pop-ups get in the way of navigation. That said, the platform is one of the few places to find rare components and niche items at low prices.

    Praised: Enormous selection of niche goods, including electronics and components, that are unavailable from local sellers.

    Complaints: Items frequently do not match the photos and descriptions, and buyer protection on returns is applied inconsistently.

    Best for: Experienced shoppers with patience for long shipping times and the skill to read real photo reviews.

  40. Rakuten: Cash Back & Deals

    Rank 43. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 361,601 ratings

    The cashback mechanic works for small amounts and standard stores, but large payouts get stuck in processing for months, many stores fail to open via the in-app redirect, and point accrual has become opaque. Users with over a year of experience report a decline in service quality.

    Praised: Convenient American Express integration for stacking additional miles on top of the main points.

    Complaints: Large cashback payouts sit in a pending state for several months with no explanation.

    Best for: Shoppers at major retail chains who want cashback with minimal effort.

  41. Bloomingdale's: Online Store

    Rank 44. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 164,347 ratings

    Strong selection of luxury brands and unique items, but catalog filtering in the app regularly freezes, orders get canceled without warning while the same item remains in the catalog, and order history is hard to access. A good storefront with an unreliable engine underneath.

    Praised: Regular shoppers highlight unique items not found anywhere else and a loyal Top of the List program.

    Complaints: Catalog filtering freezes on iOS 26 and it is not possible to add different sizes of the same item to the cart.

    Best for: Bloomingdale's fans accustomed to the wide department store selection.

  42. Namshi - Online Fashion Store

    Rank 45. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.5★ · 119,942 ratings

    Namshi works well for fashion orders in the UAE and Saudi Arabia when everything goes smoothly, but the delivery service misses its own promised windows and dispute resolution stalls for 30 or more days. Return options are limited.

    Praised: Delivery speed within the UAE, when logistics are working, is noticeably faster than competitors.

    Complaints: Fabric composition information is absent from product pages, forcing buyers to guess the material.

    Best for: Fashion shoppers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia who order frequently and know what to do when problems arise.

  43. Flipkart - Online Shopping App

    Rank 46. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.6★ · 103,027 ratings

    Wide selection and competitive prices, but returns are a lottery: a courier arrives to collect the item and simply does not show up, and money is not refunded. Search fails periodically and the app crashes mid-browse.

    Praised: The electronics and clothing catalog covers most everyday needs at accessible prices.

    Complaints: Returns are effectively broken: a claim is accepted but no one comes to collect the rejected item and the money is lost.

    Best for: Shoppers in India willing to accept the return risk.

  44. Banggood Global Online Shop

    Rank 47. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 44,778 ratings

    Strong selection in RC, 3D printing, and electronics niches, but logistics are unpredictable: items can spend weeks in air transit and when something is defective the company issues store credit rather than a replacement. Buying here requires an understanding of the risks.

    Praised: Wide selection of RC parts and electronics at prices below most alternatives.

    Complaints: Warranty claims on defective items are resolved with store credit for future purchases rather than an actual replacement.

    Best for: RC and 3D printing enthusiasts willing to wait for shipping from China and navigate returns.

  45. Garage: Online Fashion

    Rank 48. Review score: 44 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 33,792 ratings

    A brand with a dedicated following, but the app fails badly at key moments: payment is declined without explanation, order tracking displays NaN instead of data, and search returns irrelevant results.

    Praised: Regular shoppers appreciate the youth-oriented assortment and responsive support when issues come up.

    Complaints: Catalog search does not work properly: searching 'skirt' returns tracksuits.

    Best for: Regular Garage shoppers willing to work around the app's bugs for the assortment.

  46. Best Buy: Tech Deals & Savings

    Rank 49. Review score: 42 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 1,667,631 ratings

    The electronics catalog is well structured and prices are competitive, but the app runs slower than competitors even on Wi-Fi and filters frequently freeze. The buying process itself is clear when the interface finally responds.

    Praised: A rich electronics catalog with clear specs and useful filters by product type.

    Complaints: The app often lags so badly that the shopper accidentally taps the wrong thing and loses their session.

    Best for: Electronics shoppers who have time to wait through slow loading.

  47. Kohl's - Shopping & Discounts

    Rank 50. Review score: 42 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 916,069 ratings

    The cart clears itself without warning, checkout freezes on the final step, order tracking does not update, and the catalog browser throws an error instead of filtering by brand. Third-party marketplace items blur expectations around quality.

    Praised: The in-store barcode scanner and Kohl's Cash rewards system work reliably and deliver real value.

    Complaints: The cart and checkout are unreliable: users lose their contents at the final step.

    Best for: In-store Kohl's shoppers who use the app only to scan prices.

  48. ASOS - Discover Fashion Online

    Rank 51. Review score: 42 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 519,009 ratings

    Wide selection and short product videos on models reduce returns, but logistics degraded after the shift to UK-based shipping: orders go missing, returns do not process, and there is no way to reach a live agent. Checkout frequently freezes while holding funds.

    Praised: Short product videos on models genuinely help you judge the fit and reduce returns.

    Complaints: There are no user reviews on product listings, and support works through a bot with no path to a human agent.

    Best for: Shoppers looking for unique pieces for a special occasion who do not mind waiting for delivery.

  49. HSN: Shopping App for Deals

    Rank 52. Review score: 42 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 295,001 ratings

    A television shopping channel with a reasonable assortment, but the coupon system breaks every time someone tries to use it and delivery often goes to the wrong address. Returns are significantly harder than at direct competitors like QVC.

    Praised: Regular viewers value live broadcasts and the ability to see a product in action before buying.

    Complaints: Coupons do not apply, descriptions do not match the actual items, and clothing listings have no size charts.

    Best for: Viewers of HSN broadcasts who are already comfortable with the brand.

  50. Haul Shopping

    Rank 53. Review score: 42 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 29,492 ratings

    A separate Amazon storefront for discounted items that is not integrated with the main Prime cart and lists some products at prices higher than competitors. Prices change in the cart during checkout and some items get canceled after ordering.

    Praised: Users find unexpected deals at low prices on everyday items.

    Complaints: The catalog does not update in real time: listed prices change before checkout is complete and 'fresh deal' lists are often outdated.

    Best for: Amazon shoppers looking for extra savings on household odds and ends.

  51. Trendyol: Online Shopping

    Rank 54. Review score: 41 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 106,528 ratings

    Trendyol offers a wide selection at competitive prices, but a systemic issue of prices rising when items are added to the cart undermines trust. Refunds often stall and delivery misses promised windows.

    Praised: Large selection of local Turkish brands and fast delivery within Turkey.

    Complaints: Item prices frequently increase when moving to checkout with no explanation.

    Best for: Shoppers in Turkey and the UAE who are familiar with the platform's quirks.

  52. Daraz Online Shopping App

    Rank 55. Review score: 41 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.5★ · 76,295 ratings

    The largest marketplace in South Asia with a wide selection, but weak seller moderation: fake items appear regularly, some sellers refuse refunds, and the interface is overloaded with pop-up banners. The recommendation algorithm surfaces irrelevant content.

    Praised: For Pakistan and Bangladesh the category coverage and home delivery remain the best available option.

    Complaints: Seller moderation is weak: fake items reappear after reports and the platform does not guarantee refunds.

    Best for: Shoppers in South Asia with no home-delivery alternative.

  53. Joom. Shopping for every day.

    Rank 56. Review score: 41 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 66,968 ratings

    The platform grew out of cheap goods from China into something in between, but lost its main advantage in the process: price. Search handles Cyrillic queries poorly and similar items turn up only by chance.

    Praised: Delivery to non-standard destinations where AliExpress and Taobao do not ship.

    Complaints: Search cannot handle non-obvious queries and returns unrelated results.

    Best for: Shoppers in countries with a limited choice of platforms.

  54. SHEIN - Shopping Online

    Rank 57. Review score: 40 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 2,791,581 ratings

    SHEIN is an ultra-budget fast-fashion platform where orders mostly arrive, but the entire buyer journey is built around a funnel of scrolling, games, and conditional discounts that cannot actually be applied, leaving a feeling of manipulation. Product quality is inconsistent.

    Praised: Wide selection of trendy clothing at very low prices, and some shoppers regularly find items of decent quality.

    Complaints: Order fulfillment is sometimes wrong, with incorrect or extra items shipped, and the bonus system is designed to push you into spending more.

    Best for: Young shoppers looking for trendy basics with a minimal budget and low quality expectations.

  55. Woot

    Rank 58. Review score: 40 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 96,245 ratings

    The daily limited-deal concept is interesting, but the app has no search bar and you must scroll through everything. Item descriptions are not linked to Amazon reviews, product quality is inconsistent, and returns are more difficult than on Amazon.

    Praised: Real discounts on branded items appear regularly and regular users find valuable deals.

    Complaints: The absence of a search bar makes the platform useless for a specific need: you have to browse all categories for hours.

    Best for: Patient shoppers with no specific goal who enjoy surprises.

  56. Shop: All your favorite brands

    Rank 59. Review score: 38 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 6,998,459 ratings

    Shop by Shopify is an order-tracking aggregator for multiple stores rather than a standalone shop. The main pain point is phantom 'delivered' statuses for orders that never arrived, combined with no way to reach live support.

    Praised: It is convenient to track packages from multiple Shopify stores in one place with a single glance.

    Complaints: Tracking is unreliable, frequently showing 'delivered' on an empty doorstep, and there is no live support at all.

    Best for: Buyers from independent Shopify brands who want a single screen for all their packages.

  57. Mercari: Buying & Selling App

    Rank 60. Review score: 38 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 1,925,465 ratings

    A marketplace with a real inventory of used items, but buyer protection is nominal: support consistently sides with the violator, leaving victims without compensation. The risk for sellers is also high.

    Praised: Large selection of rare and secondhand items at market prices.

    Best for: Experienced secondhand sellers comfortable accepting the risks of weak moderation.

  58. Poshmark: Shop & Sell Fashion

    Rank 61. Review score: 38 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 1,040,181 ratings

    The platform is degrading: search ignores size filters, the listings feed is cluttered with irrelevant results, and buyer protection in disputes consistently sides with sellers. Sellers are also losing confidence as hidden fees rise and sales dropped after the redesign.

    Praised: Massive audience and a low barrier to entry for reselling clothing.

    Complaints: Search does not retain size and gender filters, and the feed is polluted with sponsored listings outside the requested parameters.

    Best for: A casual wardrobe seller with no deadline.

  59. UNiDAYS: Student Discount App

    Rank 62. Review score: 38 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 160,119 ratings

    The idea of student discounts in one place is good, but student status verification keeps breaking during university portal login, and discount codes from several partners fail to apply or come with opaque conditions. Support responds with form letters and does not resolve technical issues.

    Praised: Students appreciate the variety of partners, including digital services and online platforms, not just clothing stores.

    Complaints: Student status verification resets regularly and re-verifying through the app is extremely inconvenient.

    Best for: Students at US universities who actively seek out brand discounts.

  60. Amazon Seller

    Rank 63. Review score: 38 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.6★ · 104,070 ratings

    A seller tool with chronic problems: account deactivations without explanation, category restrictions applied blindly, and a home screen that became unreadable after a redesign. Store management features are unstable even for experienced sellers.

    Praised: New sellers get a reasonably clear walkthrough of the basic steps for listing a product.

    Complaints: Communicating with buyers through the app is nearly impossible: images in messages do not open and business report navigation is broken.

    Best for: Amazon sellers with no alternative.

  61. Jumia Online Shopping

    Rank 64. Review score: 38 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.6★ · 63,025 ratings

    The largest marketplace in Africa, but with systemic problems: item descriptions do not match what arrives, delivery consistently misses deadlines, and returns often end in refusal. In some regions buyers have few alternatives.

    Praised: Wide reach across cities and rural areas of West and East Africa where other platforms do not operate.

    Complaints: Item descriptions do not match what is delivered and the return process frequently ends in nothing.

    Best for: Shoppers in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya with no access to other platforms.

  62. eBay online shopping & selling

    Rank 65. Review score: 36 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 4,969,141 ratings

    eBay is the largest secondhand market with a unique inventory of used and collectible items, but buyer protection when items do not match descriptions works unpredictably and search is overwhelmed by duplicates from the same dropshippers.

    Praised: Rare and collectible items can be found here that exist nowhere else, with a convenient auction format.

    Complaints: The dispute resolution system is inconsistent: sellers complain about abusive 'not as described' claims while buyers find there is no real protection.

    Best for: Hunters of rare items and resellers who know how to read listings and vet sellers.

  63. Apple Store

    Rank 66. Review score: 35 out of 100. App Store rating: 3.5★ · 164,790 ratings

    The official Apple app handles basic browsing and purchasing, but frequently freezes when loading categories and delivery times do not match what is promised. Owners of older devices cannot use the app at all due to strict OS version requirements.

    Praised: Shoppers appreciate the convenient model comparison and clear presentation of technical specs right in the app.

    Complaints: Filtering and search often freeze, and older devices are locked out of the app due to minimum iOS requirements.

    Best for: New Apple device buyers who already know what they want.

  64. Lazada 7.7 Sale

    Rank 67. Review score: 35 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 124,197 ratings

    Lazada covers Southeast Asia with a wide selection, but dishonest sellers list fake and misrepresented items, and the return service is systematically broken: couriers do not show up and money is not refunded. Tracking is unreliable.

    Praised: Large selection of local products at accessible prices in regions where Amazon is unavailable.

    Complaints: Received items regularly do not match the listing description and photos.

    Best for: Shoppers in Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines placing small, low-cost orders.

  65. PlayStation App

    Rank 68. Review score: 35 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.3★ · 87,481 ratings

    A PlayStation account management app with chronic login problems: users repeatedly fail to sign in even after multiple attempts. Subscription management throws you into a browser and disc progress does not sync.

    Praised: Buying games and joining friends in parties works when you actually manage to log in.

    Complaints: Account login is systemically unstable: the app freezes on the authorization screen or kicks you back out without explanation.

    Best for: PS5 owners who need access to the store away from the console.

  66. ZAFUL - My Fashion Story

    Rank 69. Review score: 35 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.1★ · 30,210 ratings

    A budget fashion retailer with inconsistent product quality and opaque logistics. Order tracking is broken at the app level and some shoppers report incorrect tracking numbers that lead to phishing sites.

    Praised: Some buyers are satisfied with swimwear quality and receive items in good condition.

    Complaints: Order tracking does not work in the app: the tracking number gets cut off and cannot be copied, and some orders never arrive at all.

    Best for: Budget clothing shoppers comfortable with the risk of slow delivery.

  67. ROMWE - Ultimate Cyber Mall

    Rank 70. Review score: 34 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 581,995 ratings

    Search fails on basic queries, clothing does not match descriptions for composition or sizing, orders go missing without compensation, and the catalog has narrowed to gothic styles, disappointing an audience that came for variety.

    Praised: Wide selection of alternative styles and low prices attract those looking for subculture aesthetics.

    Complaints: Search returns irrelevant results or nothing at all, even for simple queries.

    Best for: Gothic and emo aesthetic fans on a small budget.

  68. CHICME - Shopping Online

    Rank 71. Review score: 34 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 83,047 ratings

    An online womenswear store with unpredictable quality and a difficult return process: sizes differ from descriptions, fabric is cheaper than the photos suggest, refunds are underpaid, and support drags out resolution for weeks.

    Praised: The dress and swimwear selection is wide and some shoppers receive items that match their expectations.

    Complaints: Returns are effectively impossible: the company does not provide a shipping label, undervalues the refund amount, and prolongs the process until the buyer gives up.

    Best for: Shoppers willing to keep an item even if it does not fit.

  69. Vogacloset – Shop Fashion

    Rank 72. Review score: 34 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.5★ · 69,373 ratings

    The catalog looks good and navigation is tolerable, but returning an item has become an ordeal: you have to personally drop off the package at a delivery point and refunds are slow. Inventory can be phantom: after payment you may be told the item is out of stock.

    Praised: Clean style-based search and fast order placement through the app.

    Complaints: No courier pickup for returns and opaque stock availability status.

    Best for: Gulf region shoppers willing to personally drop off returns.

  70. OfferUp Buy & Sell Marketplace

    Rank 73. Review score: 33 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 4,436,289 ratings

    OfferUp is a local C2C platform where real deals do happen, but the fraud rate is high, aggressive ads ruin search, and support does not respond to systemic problems.

    Praised: Large items like furniture, cars, and tools sell quickly when there is local demand.

    Best for: Sellers of large secondhand items in their local area who are willing to personally vet buyers.

  71. DHgate-Online Wholesale Stores

    Rank 74. Review score: 33 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.6★ · 602,747 ratings

    The platform was built for wholesale and regularly fails in retail mode: sellers ignore disputes about wrong items, support is unreachable, and search returns irrelevant results. There is almost no protection against fraudulent sellers.

    Praised: With the right seller you can put together a quality wardrobe in a premium style on a small budget.

    Complaints: Disputes with dishonest sellers are nearly unresolvable through the built-in support system.

    Best for: Resellers or small businesses who know how to screen sellers by history and reviews.

  72. Temu: Shop Like a Billionaire

    Rank 75. Review score: 32 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 2,147,596 ratings

    Items often arrive fine, but the entire buyer journey is turned into a funnel of scroll-to-play screens, games, and conditional discounts that cannot actually be applied. Half of all reviews describe the same scenario: unable to get to search because of forced screens.

    Praised: Wide selection and low base prices across a broad assortment.

    Complaints: The interface is built around dark patterns and fake promotions that get in the way of finding and buying what you want.

    Best for: Shoppers willing to put up with manipulative UX for cheap small items.

  73. Alibaba.com

    Rank 76. Review score: 32 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 49,416 ratings

    The platform provides access to unique items in bulk, but buyer protection is extremely weak: sellers send the wrong item and withhold refunds for months, and the ability to delete an account is blocked. This is a B2B tool not adapted for retail buyers.

    Praised: Enormous selection of rare and hard-to-source parts and components at low wholesale prices.

    Complaints: The buyer dispute mechanism does not work: sellers ignore claims without consequence.

    Best for: Small wholesale buyers and resellers with experience on Chinese B2B platforms.

  74. Fashion Nova: Trendy Shopping

    Rank 77. Review score: 31 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 1,247,825 ratings

    Wide selection of trendy clothing at accessible prices, but returns are accepted only as store credit, there is no live support, and lost packages are effectively not compensated. This makes every purchase a risk for a first-time buyer.

    Praised: Wide selection of trendy looks for any occasion at accessible prices.

    Complaints: When a package is lost or an order is wrong, the company shifts responsibility to the carrier and does not compensate the buyer.

    Best for: Repeat shoppers who know their size and do not expect a cash refund.

  75. Whatnot: Shop, Sell, Connect

    Rank 78. Review score: 31 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 885,342 ratings

    Best for: Experienced collectors who can verify authenticity on the spot.

  76. LTK: Shop Trusted Recs

    Rank 79. Review score: 31 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 460,119 ratings

    The idea of curated shopping through influencers is sound, but the app crashes and freezes so consistently that it has been unusable for over a year. Saving posts is confusing enough that people cannot find their own bookmarks.

    Praised: Finding items by size and body type through a real content creator remains a unique concept.

    Complaints: The feed algorithm does not remember preferences and does not show content from followed creators.

    Best for: Shoppers who want to find items through trusted influencers but not through a broken app.

  77. boohoo - Shopping & Clothing

    Rank 80. Review score: 30 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 62,792 ratings

    Some shoppers like the clothing, but the operational side is a failure: lost packages with no compensation, returns that are accepted but never refunded, and no user reviews on product pages leave the buyer with no informed way to decide.

    Praised: A wide size range for tall and plus-size shoppers, with clothing that matches the stated sizes.

    Complaints: Product pages have no buyer reviews and no real photos, making it impossible to judge the fit before buying.

    Best for: UK shoppers willing to accept return risk in exchange for a large size selection.

  78. Spaces: Follow Businesses

    Rank 81. Review score: 30 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 45,158 ratings

    An app for Wix business clients where the basic flows of logging in, finding a business by code, and placing an order periodically fail completely. The product suffers from a gap between promised functionality and actual behavior.

    Praised: When you do manage to log in and find the right business, booking classes and making appointments works quickly.

    Complaints: The app does not remember a business after it is closed and requires you to navigate back through an external link each time.

    Best for: Clients of small businesses on the Wix platform who need quick access to bookings.

  79. Nike: Engineered for Athletes

    Rank 82. Review score: 29 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 1,698,901 ratings

    A brand store with exclusive releases, but the drop mechanic is broken: payment freezes, items disappear, and the buyer ends up empty-handed. AI search ignores queries and navigation is cluttered with video content instead of a catalog.

    Praised: Exclusive access to limited sneaker releases and personalization through Nike By You.

    Complaints: The drop mechanic regularly fails: payment hangs at the moment of purchase and the sneakers sell out despite a successful charge.

    Best for: Sneaker collectors forced to tolerate an unstable platform for the exclusives.

  80. Dollar General-Digital Coupons

    Rank 83. Review score: 29 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 1,038,035 ratings

    Coupons work at the register in the best case half the time, the product search returns random items instead of what was requested, and changing your home store in settings has been broken for a long time. The app performs its core function too unreliably.

    Praised: Some users find real discounts and come into the store every day.

    Complaints: Coupons do not apply at the register even after being set up correctly in the app.

    Best for: Regular Dollar General shoppers willing to accept inconsistent discounts.

  81. Famous Footwear - Shop Shoes

    Rank 84. Review score: 29 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 117,233 ratings

    Famous Footwear as a store has a good selection of sizes and brands, but the app is broken: login has not worked for many users for over two years, prices change mid-checkout, and orders go missing. Tech support does not respond.

    Praised: Wide size selection, including hard-to-find sizes not available in physical stores.

    Complaints: Account login keeps breaking after updates and does not recover without a reinstall.

    Best for: Shoppers willing to order through a browser rather than the app.

  82. Wish: Shop and Save

    Rank 85. Review score: 28 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 2,335,346 ratings

    The catalog has grown, but buyer protection has stayed weak: items do not match descriptions, support refuses returns on formal grounds. Search and navigation work, but shelves are increasingly empty or overpriced.

    Praised: Wide and unusual assortment that is hard to find in regular stores.

    Complaints: Items differ from photos and descriptions, and support refuses returns even on clear defects.

    Best for: Patient hunters for rare oddities with low quality expectations.

  83. Zulily

    Rank 86. Review score: 28 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 725,321 ratings

    After relaunching the platform failed to restore basic functions: orders sit unshipped for weeks with no response from support, item descriptions are incomplete, returns are refused without explanation, and prices no longer differ from competitors. Structural problems remain unsolved.

    Praised: An unusual assortment not available in standard stores attracts returning shoppers.

    Complaints: Items sit unshipped for weeks and support does not respond to inquiries.

    Best for: Loyal buyers from the original Zulily, willing to accept unpredictable delivery times.

  84. Forever 21

    Rank 87. Review score: 28 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 473,707 ratings

    After the relaunch the catalog shrank to remaining stock with no proper assortment, sorting does not work, order tracking is unreliable, and AI-generated models instead of real people remove any confidence about fit. The app is technically rough with poor navigation.

    Praised: Historically one of the best options for small sizes in terms of price-to-trend ratio.

    Complaints: Search and sorting do not work, making it impossible to properly find items by category.

    Best for: Nostalgic buyers of the old F21 hoping for brand recovery.

  85. Grailed – Buy & Sell Fashion

    Rank 88. Review score: 28 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 126,532 ratings

    Grailed offers rare streetwear and designer pieces not available on other platforms, but protection against counterfeits and buyer support are so weak that many users lose money with no way to recover it. In-app search returns irrelevant results.

    Praised: The deepest library of rare brands and vintage labels of any resale platform.

    Complaints: Category search does not work: searching 'belt' returns anything but belts.

    Best for: Experienced streetwear collectors capable of authenticating items themselves.

  86. MAF Carrefour Online Shopping

    Rank 89. Review score: 28 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.4★ · 52,462 ratings

    Search regularly fails to find items that are physically in stock, the barcode scanner is broken after recent updates, and address binding does not work for many areas. The product functions below the basic threshold of usefulness.

    Complaints: Search does not find items that are available in stock and does not suggest substitutes for missing items.

    Best for: Carrefour shoppers in the UAE and Qatar willing to tolerate inconsistent performance.

  87. Groupon - Local Deals Near Me

    Rank 90. Review score: 27 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 587,845 ratings

    Coupons are systematically not accepted by partners who either ignore Groupon or add hidden fees, and refunds to a card are replaced with platform credits. Location search returns irrelevant results and live support is unreachable.

    Praised: When everything lines up, discounts on services and events are real and meaningful.

    Complaints: Partners regularly refuse coupons or add surcharges, making the advertised discount an illusion.

    Best for: A user willing to risk losing money for the chance of an occasional real deal.

  88. Jane - Boutique Shopping Deals

    Rank 91. Review score: 22 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.9★ · 305,714 ratings

    After the relaunch Jane lost what people loved about it: an interesting selection from small sellers at accessible prices. The app does not open for most users, and those who do get in find overpriced items and a thin selection.

    Praised: Historically a unique marketplace concept with small boutiques offering honest prices and good quality.

    Complaints: After the relaunch the assortment became thin and prices rose above competitor levels with no improvement in quality.

    Best for: Former fans of the original Jane waiting for a proper relaunch.

  89. 5miles: Buy and Sell Locally

    Rank 92. Review score: 22 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 189,690 ratings

    A local marketplace that has degraded: counterfeit items appeared on the home page, fake support accounts go unremoved for months, and the listing feature breaks at basic steps. Competitors like OfferUp offer a similar format with better moderation.

    Praised: A few users note that compared to OfferUp their accounts are blocked without reason less often here.

    Best for: Sellers who have exhausted every other local platform.

  90. Vinted: Pre-loved marketplace

    Rank 93. Review score: 22 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 98,228 ratings

    A secondhand clothing platform with an unresolved content moderation problem: many reviews point to listings that do not describe clothing items. Support does not respond to user reports and the account-blocking mechanism for sellers operates arbitrarily.

    Praised: For honest clothing transactions the buying and selling mechanic is simple and free for sellers.

    Complaints: Listing moderation is effectively absent: suspicious content persists for weeks with no action from the team.

    Best for: Secondhand clothing sellers in Europe who proceed with caution.

  91. DealDash - Bid & Save Auctions

    Rank 94. Review score: 22 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.5★ · 57,153 ratings

    The penny auction format masks the real cost of participation: every bid costs real money and the final winning price with bids spent often exceeds retail. Undisclosed charges of 30 to 39 dollars at signup are a systemic issue flagged by dozens of buyers.

    Praised: For experienced players with a large bid balance, winning expensive items at a symbolic price is occasionally possible.

    Complaints: Winners of auctions for popular items are the same regular participants. New users have almost no chance of winning.

    Best for: Gamblers who understand the real mechanics of a penny auction.

  92. Blidz - Shop Deals, Save Money

    Rank 95. Review score: 8 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.4★ · 49,234 ratings

    The app systematically charges linked cards without user consent, blocks earned bonus payouts, and does not respond to support requests. This is not a discount store but a subscription scheme with confusing terms.

    Praised: The bonus accumulation mechanic looks attractive on paper and is understandable to new users.

    Complaints: Adding a card to withdraw earnings automatically enrolls you in a paid subscription without explicit consent.

About scores

Two scores — two sources

They help compare apps, but they don’t replace checking your own job.

Review score · up to 100

The stored score from inApp research on review texts. It rates the app overall in the archive, not the reliability of any one feature.

Store rating · up to 5

The rating from the app’s page when the data was collected. The current rating and version may differ.

In the archived sample for this topic: 95 apps and 34,540 reviews read. That is the total size of the research, not the number of reviews per app.

A gap between the scores doesn’t prove manipulation. The calculation date and the full scoring method aren’t in the mobile archive. Compare the job descriptions and the source quotes, and check the terms in the current version.
