anyone using ShopSavvy app? - space-time - 02-23-2019
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShopSavvy
I found this on my iPhone the other day. Honestly I don't recall installing this App, but that does not mean I didn't install it. I may have installed it months ago and forgot about it.
Anyway, this morning I see a notification from this App. If I open that notification, it takes me to an Amazon product page.
Anyway, I want to check to see what you guys think about this App. I am tempted to delete it. If I was able to live without it until now, I can probably go on without it. Who knows what it tracks and what data sends to facebook servers, LOL

You have my explicit permission to delete said App.

Thank you!
(not that I needed your explicit permission to do anything I want)

I've saved as much as $200 on ONE purchase using ShopSavvy (telescoping ladder). I saved $100 on a different purchase (high end insulated cooler). I regularly use SS in stores to see what other prices are available. Yesterday, in Walmart, I scanned a $23 HBA item and saw it was $8 less at Amazon. I did NOT give the App permission to "notify" me (I generally deny that permission to Apps). Some retailers will accept the ShopSavvy listing and match the price; other retailer won't. I have it on Both my iPhone8+ (on Verizon) and, my Samsung Galaxy Note8 [soon to be an S10+] (on T-Mobile). I'm VERY happy with SS.
