I ate it on the computer. Services for searching for discounts in the App Store - who is better?

As a rule, every time we buy groceries, for example, for a whole week, along with the necessary goods, we collect a lot of unnecessary things. It turns out that we give away money that could have been put aside or spent on something useful at the checkout. The only way to avoid unnecessary expenses, while saving your time at the same time, is to use the list. But only a smart list will help you save the maximum amount of money by sending you to a specific store with the best prices. It seems that the future is already here.

Myconomy is a mobile service that allows users not only to create convenient lists of both products and medicines, but also to find prices for them. In other words, the service knows not just what you want to buy, but also where and for how much you can buy everything you need. Shopping will become simple, fast and profitable - which is the most important thing.

First of all, you will need to start making a regular list by entering the name of the products or medications that you are going to buy. You need to enter them at the very top of the main page, in a special line. The developers have provided intuitive input in the application, thanks to which, as soon as you enter the first letter, all possible options will be displayed on the screen. Very convenient, again: saves time. By the way, you can enter several lists at once. For example, let one list be grocery, another with medicines, and the third with household chemicals. In general, it all depends on your needs and imagination.

As soon as you specify, for example, “Sausages” (or any other product), the application will immediately check all available options in its database. It is worth noting that the application database contains three and a half thousand stores throughout Russia and two million products. For the sausages we are interested in, there were almost nine hundred options; click on the orange circle with a number (you can first specify the quantity you need so that the application recalculates the prices).

By clicking on the number of available options, you will see a huge list with prices. The list can be sorted in several ways for your convenience: by distance from your location (you can limit the maximum distance: from 100 meters to 10 kilometers) or by price. In addition, there is a handy map inside, as well as a compass and various markers for shops and pharmacies. Choose what is convenient for you.

Thanks to the availability of current prices in the application, the user can easily calculate the total cost of expenses. Managing a family budget will be much easier. By the way, if, for example, you are only interested in certain stores, you can search for products only in them. Nobody forces you to go where you don’t like. And so that you don’t forget to go to the store for shopping, the application will remind you about this with a push notification as soon as you are nearby.

Myconomy is the ideal application that will make shopping not only more convenient, but also more economical. The latter, as you might guess, concerns both time and money. Relying on a handwritten list and wondering where to find everything that is listed on it is not so convenient. It’s much nicer when in the app you can not only keep a list, but also determine its total cost, and at the same time select the nearest store where you can buy everything you need.

The developers work every day to expand the database of stores and available products. In addition, they do not forget to work on the functionality and appearance of the application - everything is excellent. And in the new versions they promise to please you with the exchange of lists (now, by the way, lists can be sent via SMS), promotions and special offers from stores, integration of loyalty programs and much more, we will keep an eye on it.

By the way, the Myconomy application is available not only for iOS devices, but also for mobile devices running . You can install the application by going to .

On November 6, a new version of the iGuides application appeared with a long-awaited discount section in the App Store. Now users will be able not only to read high-tech news, device reviews, analytics and other familiar sections, but also find out information about price reductions for games and applications. Notifications about discounts, as well as the algorithm for compiling lists, are implemented for the first time in a Russian-language news application, so there is still a lot of work, pleasant changes and new functions ahead. In the meantime, we decided to compare the new iGuides with four popular discount services: Appsfire, AppShopper, AppRus and AppZapp.

A special feature of Appsfire is that it compiles its own application ratings so that the user can be confident in the quality. All programs and games receive a score from 1 to 100 points depending on popularity, number of downloads, and reviews. Appsfire offers information about daily discounts, app store news, themed collections of apps, discounts by category, as well as interesting apps found by users. In addition, you can create a favorites list with interesting applications or a wish list so that the service notifies you about price reductions for programs and games of interest. All this is presented in a customizable ribbon interface, where the user can add to the screen what is interesting to him.

Social functions;

Ability to hide uninteresting feeds.

Flaws:

Not user-friendly interface;

Probably the most famous discount service is AppShopper. Unfortunately, it was left without a mobile application, and the only client for the iPhone, due to the requirements of the App Store, focuses on social functions and does not offer such convenient tools for searching for applications as the browser version. However, everyone who is not averse to learning about discounts in Safari should be attracted by applications for iOS and Mac, division by category and popularity, information about new products, updates, programs and games that have become free or are being sold at discounts. It's also convenient that you can RSS subscribe to interesting AppShopper news feeds and create a wish list to receive notifications about price changes for certain applications.

Advantages:

New products and application updates;

RSS subscriptions to interesting channels.

Flaws:

There is no mobile application.

The service, developed by our compatriots, offers a database of Russian-language applications, which allows you to be aware of changes in the cost of programs and games that are not in the American App Store. The application contains notifications about price reductions for applications of interest, a news section and application reviews, recommendations from other users, its own tops and additional categories. Unfortunately, there are complaints about the stability of the application, and the interface leaves much to be desired.

Advantages:

Russian App Store database;

Synchronization with the AppRus.ru service;

Flaws:

Ugly interface;

Lots of unnecessary functions;

Unstable operation of the application.

The AppZapp service is the most advanced of all. With it, you can find out about price changes, view top lists, read comments from other users, app reviews, and much more. Overloaded with features, AppZapp will be a great assistant for a person who tirelessly monitors changes in the App Store and wants to receive as much information as possible. There are 11 categories in the top list, and 13 criteria in the discount information, not counting the App Store categories.

Advantages:

Information about Mac applications;

Social functions are well developed;

Flexible settings.

Flaws:

Excessive number of functions and search criteria;

Outdated interface.

Even though searching for discounts is not the main function of the iGuides mobile app, it does this task well. With the caveat that we are talking about undemanding users. The application has a general list of programs and games at reduced prices, a wish list for receiving notifications about discounts on applications of interest, and a search by category. Not so much compared to specialized services, but there is all the necessary information. Some may write this down as a disadvantage, others will like the simplicity and convenience when you don’t have to rack your brains on how to properly configure the service and understand dozens of menu items.

Of course, we are talking about discounts and promotions that are sometimes offered by stores and services. Total sales usually take place on certain dates. The schedule of upcoming ideal shopping days looks something like this:

Cyber Monday – January 30, 2017;
Black Friday Real Estate (Black Friday on the real estate market) - dates for 2017 have not yet been determined, but the last time the sale took place on August 19, 20 and 21;
Singles' Day - November 11, 2017;
The real Black Friday is approximately November 24, 2017.

While waiting for happy days for the shopaholic who lives in almost all of us, you can also not waste time and actively make purchases using special services with discounts. Found 7 useful applications.

For online shopping

The two main reasons to order goods online are convenience mixed with saving time and money. At the same time, you can increase the monetary benefit by receiving cashback. This is how the Skidka.ru application works. When going through it to the sites of partner stores (there are now more than 500 of them), the user receives back part of the funds spent here. They can be transferred to a mobile phone account, bank card or Yandex.Money.

The service’s partners include clothing, cosmetics, electronics, bookstores, sports, children’s, construction and pet stores.

You can also find promotional codes here - discounts on certain types of goods that add up to cashback.

You can also save on purchases using promotional codes with the Picodi app. Only, unlike the previous one, it can be used for purchases not only in online stores, but also in restaurants, offline: Burger King, McDonald’s, KFC, Teremok, Chaikhona No. 1, Yolki-palki and others.

To use a coupon online, you need to copy the code and paste it during checkout. If we are talking about a restaurant, then simply save the coupon and show it at the checkout.

You can find out about sales and promotions from your favorite brands through the “Discounts” service. There are clothing stores, sporting goods, shoes, household appliances, jewelry, and grocery chains here. But the most promotional offers are in the first category.

To buy electronics

Before buying a new TV, iron, steamer, refrigerator, washing machine or smartphone, it would be a good idea to check whether there are discounts or any promotions on the necessary equipment in Technosila, Eldorado, M.Video, Citylink, Ozone or, say, on AliExpress. . To avoid doing this manually, you can use the “Electronics Discounts” application. The service monitors special offers for 200 thousand products every day.

An important advantage of the service is that it does not take into account false promotions, which involve first raising prices for goods and then reducing their prices through discounts.

For trips to supermarkets

Perhaps the most noticeable application on the grocery market is Edadil. Here you can find information about discounts and promotions in most major chains - Billa, Pyaterochka, Dixie, Magnit, Lenta, Okay, Karusel, Seventh Continent, Coin, Metro, Perekrestok, etc. You can choose stores near your home and track all the great deals online.

There are two strategies for saving with Edadil:

1. Before going shopping, compare prices for the necessary goods in different stores near your home, and, for example, go to Perekrestok for meat, and Billa for milk. For convenience, you can create shopping lists in different supermarkets; the program, by the way, will immediately calculate how much you need to take with you to the store.

2. Buy goods with a long shelf life in advance as part of promotions. For example, today we saw a good discount on coffee and bought several packs at once for future use, even if the previous can had not yet run out, the next time we found a five-kilogram package of washing powder at a bargain price and bought a couple at once. Sunflower oil, cereals, pasta, tea, shampoo, shower gel, dishwashing detergent - and this is not a complete list of what you can buy with a reserve for the future, if now it is 20-50% cheaper.

To book a hotel

Spontaneous decisions, unexpected trips or business trips - these are, perhaps, a set of cases when it is worth downloading the application for finding places to stay on a trip, HotelTonight. If the matter is not urgent, it is better to use classic search and online hotel booking systems such as booking or trivago, because HotelTonight allows you to book a room for today, tomorrow or at most for next week, and that’s all. This makes it possible to offer users low prices - hotels give discounts on last minute rooms.

There is only one caveat: there are no offers from hostels and budget hotels. Judging by the reviews, the application is more aimed at those who value comfort and offers them “last minute” rooms in expensive hotels.

For flights

Heavenly tricks, and that's all. There is an application - Skytrick, which searches for the cheapest air tickets; the savings can range from 1 to 70%. But these are not exactly discounts; the service simply finds logical pricing “mistakes” that airlines have made. For example, you need to fly from Moscow to Riga. A regular direct flight may cost more than if a person bought a ticket from Moscow to Helsinki with a transfer in Riga.

Another example of an error: a round-trip ticket may cost less than a one-way ticket. Or, on the contrary, we are accustomed to the fact that it is more profitable to take round-trip tickets at once than each one separately, but in some cases this rule does not work.

Using SkyTrick you can only find a cheap flight option, but to buy it you will need to go to the seller’s website.
