Decide’s new iPhone app seems to accurately aim at saving consumers from the hassle of buying a new device, even before it gets refreshed or has a fall in its pricing. This is Decide’s first switch into the smartphone world as it has been a web-only source till now. The company has opted to be into the iPhone devices only for now.
The iPhone app of Decide, is quite like the website, wherein the users are advised on when they should pick up the latest gadgets. Each and every device placing on the app, has a “wait” or “buy” status on it, which is based on a number of factors. These factors include how likely they are likely to be refreshed in the coming weeks or months. This is the best point, Device app makes in.
The app even gives users an option to contact the cheapest selling device retailers. This is done, as the names of retailers that are selling the device for the cheapest are detailed. It would help users in a big way as users usually prefer spending the least even to get the best.
Again, the app stands good to the sophistication of the iPhone family as it provides more than one would have thought of. Its iOS app takes full advantage of the iPhone’s camera, which allows users to scan a barcode of a product, instead of inputting the model number manually. It saves time and is unique. One cannot think of this service to be in the web app.
In a related development, Decide has expanded its initial offering of phone, laptops, televisions, and cameras significantly. Now, the range of products the site covers include nearly every kind of gadget, from tablets to home audio equipment. This expansion even includes video games.

It is basically like a ”crystal ball” for those shoppers who intend to make use of the knowledge of the experts, before buying a consumer electronic product and at the same time even save money considerably.
Mike Fridgen, CEO of Decide.com said, “The days of overpaying for gadgets are over.” He continued saying, “With the new Decide.com App, a one-second search can save you hundreds of dollars and the pain that comes with buying the wrong product at the wrong time.”
In the tech world, approaching holidays always helps as users intend to buy some gadget or the other as a gift nowadays.
