Getting in and out of the mall with your sanity intact can be a challenge in and of itself, nevermind trying to save money in the process. Life can be made just a little easier with the help of a few apps on your Android device, however.
Best online shopping apps for Android are those selected online shopping apps present on the Google play store which are the most popular and the most loved among users. These apps have a lot of things in common such as ease of use, a good interface, a trustworthy payment channel and most importantly-the best products on offer. Apps can be utilized to scan barcodes, find out more about specific products, redeem coupons, and search for the lowest price for a product in your area, either at a local store or online.
eBay
eBay is another one of those ubiquitous names 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.
Best Buy
Best Buy has the power to polarize people. Some people really love Best Buy and other people just don’t like it. Overall their app is above average and it has a relatively good selection. You can also do things like find locations and shop for stuff that would otherwise be out of stock in Best Buy stores near you. Around the holidays you can find some pretty decent sales and they do an okay job at bridging the gap between brick-and-mortar shopping and online shopping.
The Coupons App
The Coupons App is one of a few coupons apps to make the list. You can’t shop online with these kinds of apps normally but they do aid in your real shopping if you can find the right kind of coupons. This one has a wildly outdated interface but users claim to be able to find some quality coupons here. However, like any coupon app, it’s hit and miss based on your needs or interests. Still, the app is free so it’s worth a shot.
Groupon
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. 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 ingrain themselves into the Groupon culture which isn’t a bad thing by any means. It’s free, so why not?
RetailMeNot
RetailMeNot is one of the top couponing websites out there, and with their Android app, you’ll be able to stay on top of all of your local deals. You can set notifications to pop up based on nearby malls, which is particularly important for those time-sensitive coupons, and mark certain stores as favorites for quick reference later. Claiming coupons is easy enough with the embedded browser.
