Lukas Gregor Do you like to shop online? And do you find it inconvenient to browse all kinds of e-shops on a mobile device or tablet, to look for better offers, and you just wish you could compare a specific product with the competition? ShopsInTouch app aims to end your suffering.
Application philosophy ShopsInTouch browsing online stores has become as convenient as possible. It combines dozens of e-shops and allows you to search them by product or store. If you choose the second option, you will very quickly and comfortably get an idea of what the e-shop offers, so you do not have to visit the web interface, which is often not optimized for mobile.
When searching for a specific product, ShopsInTouch makes even more sense. You can not only read detailed information about the product, but also have the same product compared across available stores - you will find a better price offer somewhere, just one click away.
Of course, the application has far more functions, you can switch between different currencies, save product details, share the information via social networks, and as for stores, nothing prevents you from creating a list of your favorite e-shops, following their news or for a specific product, its price changes.
There is no need to study the controls for too long, the basic menu is simple, the buttons and icons are understandable. Just don't expect anything particularly imaginative from the graphics (I reckon you'll learn over time). Of course, due to Apple's rules, you can't make purchases directly in the app, so when you finally decide which product to buy, you go to the web browser and make the purchase there. ShopsInTouch is therefore more suitable for me personally for a quick search across different stores and the ability to track and compare offers, rather than for the actual purchase. I can do this at any other time from a desktop computer (which is also why the application allows sending and sharing direct links to products).
The strategy of the team around ShopsInTouch is not to absorb all available e-shops into their application, but to offer individual sellers a service - the possibility that they can pass their data to this application and get more potential customers. Given the app's youth, you can logically deduce that there aren't that many stores yet - you'd be looking in vain for giants like Alza, Datart, Kosmas... but I suppose it's only a matter of time again and I expect that with the expanding offer, ShopsInTouch will have more on your iPhone importance.
If you use the free version, you will have to make do with a limited number of popular stores and also with in-app ads. The paid version allows you to browse foreign stores and a few other little things, which I personally don't think are that important.

UX and graphic designers must have slept for a while, I will continue to worry about it through the browser….
I agree ;)
Great on iPad. So I definitely won't worry about it in the browser if the store is part of this application.
Even if it runs on Android, only then will it have any meaning.
