There is an expression about being careful what you wish for. But in the case of the Wish app, that's definitely not the case. Not if you want to make huge savings on your shopping, anyway.
The app promises you can make savings of 60 to 90% on over 150 million high-quality clothing items.
The Wish app lets you connect directly with manufacturers to get great prices on men's, women's, and children's fashion. And a host of other items, including electronics, beauty products, and sports gear.
There's no need to trail around shopping malls when you can get the goods to come to you instead.
The Wish app was developed in the US, where the company is based. But it opens up the world, shipping goods globally so you can get the best price available. Style, it turns out, does not need to be expensive.
Working from their HQ in San Francisco, Work does all the legwork for you, hunting down the best deals on all the latest buzzy trends. They estimate that around 300 million users shop with Wish every month to find quality goods at affordable prices.
● Access to a global marketplace
● Secure payments
● Product reviews by customers
● Order tracking
● Contact customer support within the app
● 30-day returns policy
It all appears to be great, but what's the catch?
Well, it's not what you are thinking. Wish stocks some of the biggest brands on the market, including:
● Apple
● Burberry
● Ray-Ban
● Coach
● Fossil
● Tommy Hilfiger
● Michael Kors
In addition to the fantastic discounts you can find, the app operates a rewards coupon scheme, and there's a chance to win extra discounts with their in-app Blitz Buy spin game.
And, if you are still to be persuaded, the free stuff might just swing it for you. There are regular opportunities to win freebies, including welcome gifts when you register.
So you may well be tempted to give the mall a miss and shop with the Wish app instead.
There are great deals on:
● Fashion
● Accessories
● Electronics
● Shoes, boots, and sneakers
● Home goods
● Children's items like toys, babywear, and school supplies
● Sports gear
● Auto accessories like organizers, phone chargers, and cleaning products
● Children's books and stationery
● Great deals on clothes and lots more
● Rewards schemes and competition prizes
● Multi-language support
● Shipping can take a long time, up to a week, even with express delivery
Wish is downloadable from Google Play and the Apple App Store. For the Android app, you need just 24 MB of storage space and Android 5.0 or later.
iOS users need to part with 121 MB of storage and run iOS 11.0 or later.
Both Android and iOS users are united in their praise for this app. The outcome of this consensus is that the app has earned a highly creditable 4.6 and 4.7 out of five on Google Play and the App Store, respectively.
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive. The main bugbear appears to be the unpredictable nature of the delivery times.
