Decide (decide.com) is one of those companies that are taking Mobile shopping to the next level. Their company mission is to be a service dedicated to helping consumers buy electronics with no regrets. Their mission sounds simple but the technology behind it is anything but. The free app that is available for both the iPhone and Android phones helps you decide when to buy. Decide advises you to buy or wait depending on their proprietary price and model predictions. They state that their predictions are right 77% of the time. Here is how it operates on your smart phone: when you are in a store, you would scan the UPC barcode on the product and the Decide App will then give you a green “thumbs up” saying you should buy or it will give you a red “hand” telling you to wait and purchase later. They also have the ability to send you alerts on future product purchases so you can be alerted about price changes, product releases or even rumors!
In this economy more than ever consumers are looking for ways of saving money and this is just one potential ways companies are helping consumers do just that. Go here to download their free app: http://www.decide.com/mobile
