AMAZON
No shopping apps list would be complete without Amazon. It’s the proverbial mega-mall of the Internet and millions of people use it every year. You can find practically any kind of product you can think of and the addition of things like Amazon Pantry even let you shop for food and beverage items. They also have things like Lightning Deals and Deals of the Day where you can find stuff on the cheap if you keep up on it. It’s quick, simple, and easy to understand. You probably already have an account, you might as well use it. You can pay extra to get Amazon Prime which also adds some additional shopping features.
CL Pro
CL Pro is a Craigslist app. It allows you to surf Craigslist for things that other people are selling. You'll have a bunch of options. For instance, you can add filters to narrow stuff down. You can also save searches for future reference if you need to. It also boasts an easy-to-use interface and a simpler experience with fewer permissions. There is also the option to search for stuff like jobs, services, and other stuff. It's one of the better local shopping apps, although services like 5miles, letgo, OfferUp, Varage Sale, and others will work just as well.
eBay
eBay is another ubiquitous name 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. It's one of those shopping apps that's always fun to just browse.
Wish
Wish is one of those shopping apps that lets you search for sales. It boasts the ability to get people up to 80% off of some items. Of course, that doesn't guarantee that the items you want will be cheap, but a sale is a sale. It's probably not great for day-to-day browsing, but finding something you've been wanting on sale has its perks. The app itself is well done and easy to use. There are also a few categories to help keep things in line. It's good, but not great. However, getting stuff for cheap at this scale is worth noting.
ASOS
Oh ASOS, how we love thee. Keep this mega e-retailer on your phone for the ultimate selection of trendy and affordable fashion at all times. Shipping is free for orders over $40, and the app can even sync up to your Apple watch for sale alerts. So dangerous. Sorry in advance, paycheck!
Etsy
Free, available for iOS and Android
We're sure you're already familiar with this amazing online marketplace, but the app makes shopping that much easier. Etsy is our one-stop shop for unique, handmade gifts and special finds that stand out from the crowd. Browse through the extensive selection, communicate with shop owners, and even track your order, all with this handy app.
GILT
Free, available for iOS and Android
Gilt's 10 million members are on to something. This flash-sale site is our favorite for luxurious finds at a discounted price. It's got everything from clothing to home decor, along with tickets to fabulous events in your town. Where else can you add a trip to Miami, a cocktail dress, and a salon blowout to the same cart? Download this app now to start living the glam life.
Keep Shopping
Free, available for iOS and Android
We've all been there. You've built the best collection of outfit inspo on a Pinterest board, only to realize it can't be shopped most of the time, anyway. The Keep Shopping app solves that problem with a scrollable feed of items that you can buy on the spot. It also shows when something goes on sale, and what's trending now.
Zara
Free, available for iOS and Android
There's an art to shopping at Zara. We'd consider ourselves something of a pro (okay fine, a stalker) and that includes keeping this app on standby at all times. It's easier to filter through the large assortment and find that one special piece, as well as keep tabs on fresh arrivals before they sell out. There's also a barcode-scanning function for instant info on your in-store finds.
Poshmark
Free, available for iOS and Android
Poshmark is the ultimate destination for finding gently used (read: discounted) clothing and consigning items you no longer wear. No space in your closet? Make room and money at same time! Then fill it right back up with new stuff, because it's what we do best.
