Got an idea to buy something while you are on the go? Can’t wait to check out the details and compare price of any product you wish to buy? Here is Yahoo! Shopping app for your iPhone and iPod touch in App Store for free. Its slick interface comes with bundle of features that you won’t need to search through web to find out what’s best for you and nearby you.

Home tab features with various random products, which are so popular, with price range. If you tap on any product, it takes you to the product’s page where it’s description; prices in different merchants to compare and reviews of the product will be displayed.

So tired of typing complete name to search for anything in almost all apps? Yahoo! Shopping is different. It uses Yahoo’s own Search Assistant feature to suggest the term you are about search, so you will save effort in typing. Yahoo! Search Assistant and use of current location are optional. You can opt-out if you don’t want.

You can also save the product, if you are really in rush and check out the details later. You will find all these items in Saved tab. Before you buy a product from any merchant, you can compare prices in many merchants, view their websites inside app or in safari browser for more details and then you can buy it in their site itself.

Though you can email the product to your friend or family for any suggestion, from the app, it would be nice, if this were an in-app feature so I wouldn’t need to start the app and search for any other product. There are few things missing in this app as compared to it’s website: specifications and more product pictures. Hope those will be added in the future updates.
