ShopWise is a free app offered by Yellow Pages Group has just launched as the most efficient and complete shopping app for Canadians. It’s the first app to integrate digital versions of flyers from major retail chains across Canada (on the iPad version only.) What perfect timing! This is the time of year we all appreciate finding ways to save but still give those on their list the “IT” gift. It is also your everyday kind of shopping app to help you get the best deals available in cities all across Canada.
You can download ShopWise for free and start making savvy shopping decisions whether you are buying a new laptop or just this weeks groceries. You name it, Shopwise can help you get it for less and I really do enjoy getting the hottest deal I can.
I love how easy Shopwise makes it to find a specific item, store or even brand near me, and that I can have the offers displayed on an easy to use interactive map. If maps aren’t your thing you can also have the information displayed in a dynamic list. Once you do find a deal you want to act on, the app also provides you will all the store information you need to actually get there.
The latest version of Shopwise makes the app available for iPad with a fresh new design. I love how easy it is to go through my flyers on the iPad version. Certainly easier than trying to sort through all the paper ones as my daughter tries to tear them apart.
I was able to save a ton of money on a few Christmas gifts I still needed to pick up thanks to ShopWise.
I was able to get a great deal on a Nintendo DS game for my brother I was just going to order online. Thankfully I checked while running some errands the other day and found it was on sale at a retailer local to the area I was going to be in.
Since I was already out, and lets face it, I’m so pregnant right now these outings are becoming rare, I checked some of the other items I still needed to pick up. I found a better deal on the ridiculously expensive salon brand shampoo and conditioner my sister loves.
I was also able to find a certain toy I have been seriously wanting to get Keira so bad for Christmas on sale. I couldn’t believe my luck because I’d been holding off waiting for my chance to get it since she is already spoiled when it comes to toys. I seriously couldn’t help myself though when I saw it was on sale.
I hate to think how much more I could have saved had I known about ShopWise before now!

I sent them a message and there is no form to fill out under the help section. Should we just take a screen shot in case we win to verify?
