Search for local deals in your area for thousands of products with Price Patrol's shopping search engine developed for mobile users.
Are you looking some great deals on local shopping? Then take a look at Price Patrol.
The app is similar Price Patrol’s main website, where it uses your current location to search for the best deals for the products you are searching for in your area. Before you begin window shopping, you will be prompted to login or create an account and activate your smartphone’s location access in order for the Price Patrol app to function properly. Once you click on a product that you might have been looking for, the app will break down the logistics of the item’s price, description and distance away from item location.
Save your favorite products to your personal Radar, where you can also adjust search radius, keywords, category and price range and share the item to other people who are interested in the buying the product in the further for research purposes. Each product link also displays a “Get Directions” tab, which will open a GPS navigation app and create a route for you, and a “Call Place” tab that contains the location’s telephone number. In case you are indecisive about what to search for when first opening the app, you can check out the “Popular Searches” tab, listing the ten most recently searched products.
This Price Patrol app is useful all year-round. The app is user friendly, the graphical interface is clean and runs smoothly, the information is accurate and the search engine features enough brand name products for users to search for nearly anything at any store. It will show you deals in popular stores like Wal-Mart, GameStop, Radio Shack, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Sears and Lowe’s. You will not likely find local “mom-&-pop” stores in this app.
The wide variety of product categories include animal supplies, electronics, hardware, office supplies, toys, sporting goods and car equipment. Although the app contains a lot of categories, it would be more impressive if more food grocery items were featured in the search engine. This element would really separate itself from other shopping search applications. Nevertheless, this is a great app to use if you simply want to find the best deals for products in your area.
This Price Patrol app is free to download in the Google Play store and will only take up no more than 22MB on your phone.
