The alternatives
eBay is a marketplace for buying and selling a wide range of items, including new and used goods, often through auctions or fixed-price listings R51. While some users report issues with the app's recent updates, such as a cluttered home screen with live feeds and freezing, it remains a platform for finding various products R53R54R56.
Better for: eBay is better for users who want to buy or sell a wide variety of items, including unique or second-hand goods, and are comfortable navigating an app that has recently undergone interface changes R51. It might suit those looking for specific collectibles or items not easily found elsewhere, but sellers should be aware of potential fees and issues with cancellations R51.
Head-to-head: Wish vs eBay online shopping & sellingSlickdeals is an app for finding deals and sales, with users reporting savings of hundreds of dollars on items from various retailers like Amazon and Lowe's R66R67. The app is praised for being a 'goat of deal websites' and offering 'amazing products' . However, some users experience bugs like slow loading comments, choppy scrolling, and issues with the redesign, such as difficulty accessing categories or deleting search terms R65R68.
Better for: Slickdeals is better for users primarily interested in finding discounts and deals on a wide range of products, especially if they are looking to save money on items they already plan to buy R66. It suits deal-hunters who are willing to overlook some app bugs and interface issues for significant savings R65.
Head-to-head: Wish vs SlickdealsBlidz is presented as an app where users can earn money and find great deals R80R83. Users report making money easily, with one user claiming to have made $20 in a day . However, many users report being scammed, with the app repeatedly charging for unwanted subscriptions, sometimes multiple times a day, and refusing refunds R79R82.
Better for: Blidz might appeal to users looking for a way to earn extra cash or find deals, but based on numerous reports of unauthorized charges and subscription issues, it carries significant risk R79R82. Users should exercise extreme caution and be wary of subscription prompts R82.
Head-to-head: Wish vs BlidzThere are no user reviews provided for Pick 'n Save, so it is not possible to assess its offerings or user experience based on the given data.
Better for: Insufficient review data to determine who it suits better.
Head-to-head: Wish vs Pick 'n SaveSave A Lot is a grocery store app praised for its reasonable prices, great service, and ability to save money R94. Users appreciate the meat and canned goods, but some note that prices have increased . The app, however, has significant usability issues, with users reporting problems accessing weekly flyers, stores disappearing from lists, lost loyalty points due to phone number changes, and an inability to register or log in after updates R93R95R96. It also lacks product pricing information, making it inferior to competitors like Dollar General or Walmart .
Better for: Save A Lot is better for shoppers who prioritize reasonable prices on groceries, especially meat and canned goods, and who already frequent the physical stores R94. It suits users who are patient with app functionality issues and are primarily looking for a basic way to engage with their local Save A Lot store, rather than a feature-rich shopping app R96.
Head-to-head: Wish vs Save A LotUsers should stick with Wish if they value a wide range of unique items, appreciate its support for older iOS devices, and have consistently positive experiences with product quality, pricing, and customer service .
Evidence note: Pick 'n Save had too few reviews to judge.

Built only from these 106 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R3] Wish Prices: Used to love Wish. I bought a 6 pack of underwear in the past for $35. Now if I want to reorder that same 6 pack it’s $149. Everything has turned so expensive. I may as well get the items from Amazon
- [R18] Wish Just done: So pretty good but laggy and over priced you will see a really cheap thing but the shipping is extremely expensive and so many ai seller's
- [R19] Wish The wish list: Love Wish, had to leave inflation is tooooo high
- [R22] Wish Sell outs !: Used Roget stuff on hear for free and just pay Pennie’s for shipping , now it’s about money like everyone else…
- [R1] Wish Poor products and refused to refund: I bought a laptop case from Wish. The plastic smell is so horrible that even after airing it for a week, the smell is still there. I told customer service about it and requested to refund and I will return the product. They refused saying the product already “fulfilled the requirements”. I insisted and they sound said they will partially refund it as courtesy.
- [R9] Wish Dp James: I joined the WISH FAMILY in 2016 and I ordered a lot of things from them needless to say the items were HORRIBLE the clothes were NOTHING LIKE WHAT THEY ADVERTISED. They were very poor quality and not to mention they charged you for shipping FOR EVERY ITEM THAT YOU ORDERED!!!! OOOMMMGGG When I looked I was being charged for EVERY SINGLE ITEM THAT I ORDERED, I didn’t realize this until it
- [R4] Wish Fix the app!!!!: It’s says I’m signed out but when I sign in, I get errorrrrr!!!
- [R7] Wish Signing in and reviews: I’ve been waiting for over a month now to leave reviews on the previous items that I received and now I’ve been signed out of the app and when I try to sign back in it just buffers, which is really going downhill and I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna use it honestly UPDATE: still can’t sign back in. Starting to wonder if o got banned even though I don’t think I’ve ever
- [R13] Wish Issues has Risen: This app was fantastic, now I can’t get in it. It says I’m signed out, I never sign out. When I try to sign back in, an error message comes up.. PLEASE FIX The one star will be back to five once you update/fix app.
- [R21] Wish Total crash: For some of reason you can’t get into the app, or to report a problem. Update After deleting and reinstalling the app it won’t load. It just goes to a white screen. Update 2 I don’t know what they did but it’s fixed. Now I can really review the app. I think it’s great. Note most of what I look for are models and gaming terrain I can modify.
- [R32] Wish Disappointing: I reached out to support to ask a question & got no answer. I’m working this a week after I sent them the message asking the question. I’ll stick with Amazon from now on, THEY answer messages & offer better products.
- [R42] Wish Con Men…: Can’t reach support. Doesn’t provide address for pickup location just name…just pathetic. Don’t waste your time being scammed by these con artists. Apple should be embarrassed to have them in App Store.
- [R50] Wish Not worth: Out of all the shopping aps I’ve tried this one has been the worse in terms of customer service and getting your stuff! I ordered several items from here and yes most of them arrived, late but they arrived! However one of them never showed up. I opened a ticket and tried to get a live agent to help me as the automated agent is no help at all and I was unable to get any assistance! Even
- [R6] Wish Not for kids: It is most definitely not for kids because I was searching up van shoes and showed v**** and toys ifykyk adults.
- [R20] Wish Don't try this: If you're wondering why I'm giving a 1-star review, it's because I was searching for a Master Chief costume, and when the results popped up, there were pictures of people's dildos. Isn't that very weird? · translated
- [R30] Wish inappropriate: selling dildos and saying to shove it up my butthole
- [R31] Wish my review: Wish is a highly good app just needs an adult approval and to clearly identify kids
- [R25] Wish Good products, slow delivery: You have some really good products, however you need to look in as how you can speed up the delivery of the products.
- [R34] Wish Shipping: Too long
- [R45] Wish Great site just awful shipping time: The prices and products I’ve gotten off this site are great, my only issue is the amount of time it takes for shipping and the fact that there’s no option for faster shipping
- [R10] Wish Farcical: Some of these vendors are a complete ripoff
- [R44] Wish My “free” item refunded without my permission: I ordered a free item a couple of days ago and it was supposed to arrive tomorrow but when I checked the order screen it says it was refunded. It then told me to wait 10 extra days to get my refund.
- [R51] eBay online shopping & selling Good for buyers, bad for sellers: If you sell, you will get ripped off and waste time, not to mention incredible fees. Good for buying only. Amazon or Facebook much better for sellers.
- [R53] eBay online shopping & selling Good app for sellers and buyers but improvements needed.: Why isn’t there anyway to turn off the eBay live feed? I use this app mostly as a seller and it clutters up the feed. There should also be a seller selection since you have to “drill” into the seller zone where your listings are and other useful information. Can you please give us an ability to shut down the live sellers?
- [R54] eBay online shopping & selling Terrible app update: The home landing page is all live feeds. No watched items, recently viewed items or recommended items. This will seriously reduce the amount of items I purchase on eBay! At least give app users the option between live feed or watched items.
- [R56] eBay online shopping & selling Freezing: Every time i open the app with my account logged in, it freezes. I updated and then redownloaded it. Same issue. Been using app for years and just now having these issues on the same IPhone 11
- [R65] Slickdeals Incompetent developers: Font is too big now and ads still open when you scroll on them. Also says “an error occurred” like all the time now. Good news is the app is almost at a CS senior design project level now. Also has extremely choppy scrolling App is now having an issue where nothing loads. Textbook Slickdeals quality That time of the year. Ads auto open to generate extra revenue. Devs said
- [R66] Slickdeals Like deals?: Well this is the app for you I have save over 300 and that is within less than a couple of months on Amazon !!!
- [R67] Slickdeals Okay: The listings need some moderation. The Amazon links seem to be the most reliable. Lowe’s and other retailer clearance deals are questionable.
- [R68] Slickdeals Newest update makes app lousy: Why in the world would you remove the quick access to categories. People are not going to use the app if it becomes next to impossible to figure out how to see what they want to see. I’m still mind-blown that someone agreed to the current layout as being the best choice. This is wildly off.
- [R79] Blidz Scammed me for $125: They kept charging me for a year and when it didn’t work they would try again every 2-3 days repeatedly instead of emailing me or cancelling it. I never knew my money was being taken out. And they won’t refund anything. Don’t bother getting a “reward” app that charges u and pays nothing. It keeps popping up their subscription every time u click anywhere.
- [R80] Blidz Blidz: Super legit and fun to earn money
- [R82] Blidz Not what I wanted: App literally hits you with all types of subscription options before you even get to see what the app is about, upon trying to click out of the subscription screen, it asked where you want your rewards to payout then proceed to charge me 24$ for a subscription I know nothing about. Don’t download it😂💯
- [R83] Blidz Blidz: Great game, the payout is as expected! #hiddengem
- [R93] Save A Lot My Store taken off list of stores to choose from.: Why was my stores I shop at taken off the list of stores to choose from? Thought it might be a glitch in my account so I deleted and reinstalled, it didn’t help and I lost my accumulated dots. Not good.
- [R94] Save A Lot Sav a lot: Great service and prices
- [R95] Save A Lot What you stock: When I find something I like you quit selling it
- [R96] Save A Lot Weekly flyer: I love the store, but cannot get a flyer on my page. It says you can order for delivery, but there is no flyer to pick from. I used to have Save a Lot on Flipp, but it's gone too. Please make full ads available. I am 78 and rely on flyers to do my shopping Thank you.
- [R24] Wish This app used to be good: This app has become very expensive SHEIN is better
- [R26] Wish More expensive than Temu: I was a regular on this app years ago and thought I would check it out again. This app is more expensive than Temu, and thats just sad.
