The Mallzee App Review

I signed up to The Blogger Programme a few weeks ago and was excited to find a message in my inbox earlier today!

The message was from Mallzee asking if I would like to have a look at their app and tell them what I think, so here's my run down!

Pros:

- Firstly, it's free. It doesn't cost a penny which is great!

- Very simple and pretty design. Mainly white, black and a pale green which go perfectly together.

- It doesn't make you sign into Facebook. With apps like Candy crush forcing you to sign into Facebook to progress, it's nice to see an app which doesn't force you into sharing.

- Brief tutorial at the beginning. Explains the simple controls such as double tapping to save, pinching to minimize and share by holding down. The simple controls are also a pro!

- Picks the brands you want to see. Offers high street companies such as Miss Selfridge, ASOS and Accessorize as well as smaller brands such as ikrush and Pull&Bear (who had an advert in this month's ASOS mag).

- Gives you the ability to hunt by item and colour. Highly useful if you want a specific item in a specific colour, such as a red dress.

- Easy to browse through items. Just pull down to scroll down the page.

- Easy to purchase. Just tap the items, tap buy, it takes you to the clothing site and you go from there as normal!

- Puts everything in one place. It makes it easier to compare between items by using the save feature which is useful as you can essentially bookmark the items you like.

Cons:

- Bit slow at first. When I first started using the app it could be a bit slow to load up the search and save features, however this does improve the more you use it. 

- Some of the items either didn't load or took a long time. One example of this is a pair of Cath Kidston pajamas, it kept saying "The page you have requested is loading - redirecting" however it never loaded.

Summary:

It's a free app and it's quite a small download file (8.6mb). Worth downloading to see what shops have in stock and useful for hunting down items. Easy to use, but a little slow at first.

Find them on the appstore or through their website: http://mallzee.com/
