I love it! ### 5/5 — New Fun App! *2020-10-03, version 1.6.2* When I first downloaded this APP, I was amazed at how fast it pulled my purchases from my email. The design is simple and easy to navigate. I love how I can directly buy products from what my friends and family recommend. I think it’s super cool to see what others are buying as well! It’s great to see a platform where you can share your opinions on all sorts of products and trust that your network is giving their honest opinions :) Only thing is that I wish we could connect a Yahoo email or even multiple emails. ### 5/5 — Clean UI *2020-08-15, version 1.6.1* I love the interface on this app super clean I would recommend it to anyone shopping on amazon regularly The Yelp of product reviews! ### 5/5 — Big fan of this *2020-08-06, version 1.6.0* This app offers such a cool and unique idea by allowing you to share your recently purchased products and provide your own analysis and review of it for your friends on the app. It’s so much more personal than reading random online reviews over products by ensuring a credible source (your own friends!). ### 5/5 — A yelp/social media for online shopping! *2020-07-21, version 1.6.0* GIST is an amazing app that I use to see what my friends are buying, how they feel about certain products, and a way to share my shopping experience as well! I can simply scroll down my feed to see what my friends are posting and take seconds to create a post of my own. The UI is sleek and simple to use as well. Overall this app is a great addition to your e-commerce experience and I enjoy it quite a lot! ### 5/5 — New, Fun & Engaging Way to Shop! *2020-07-18, version 1.6.0* I love this app! I love online shopping, but it can be difficult at times to trust certain reviews and products. With GIST, I am able to follow my friends and family whom I trust and value their opinions on all different products! My favorite part of the app is that it includes a diverse group of products and users! It also makes online shopping more easy and fun! I am able to swipe through the app and click on different products that will bring me directly to the store, rather than having to scroll through every product on an online store! It really makes shopping for ANY product more fun and engaging! ### 5/5 — Great product *2020-07-13, version 1.6.0* I have found shopping to be really boring and now I am reenergized by Gist.

Like I get the gist of it (ha that’s funny) but also like why call it GIST. I personally think that the name sounds like cyst but again that’s just me. Maybe try a different name like I haven’t even opened the app yet but the name is the only thing I look at when I use an app. It could be the worst app in the world but if the name slaps then I’ll be on it 24/7. Over 3/5 ok name. ### 3/5 — Cute!!! *2020-07-10, version 1.52.0* Love the concept. It’s having trouble finding anything in my gmail though. It does link to my amazon but isn’t pulling many product pictures through. Please let me know when it’s updated! ### 4/5 — Nice *2020-08-02, version 1.6.0* First day/time using it. It seem pretty nice to see what my friends are buying! ### 4/5 — Great social media *2020-07-10, version 1.52.0* It’s so fun to see what people buy and share my own reviews ### 5/5 — Love seeing friends recommendations *2022-01-20, version 1.3.2* Feels like I’m in the store shopping with friends! ### 5/5 — . *2021-11-24, version 1.2.7* Novel idea for an app. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2021-09-27, version 1.2.5* Honestly, when I started dating my new girlfriend I got confused as she was a triplet. She has 2 identical sisters. When it came time to do the “dirty”, I was beyond confused and accidentally went for the sister. But there was my phone, sitting on the counter, and the Gist app helped me realize that it was intact her sister. I then proceeded to do the “dirty” but gist is an amazing app. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun and Exciting *2021-08-18, version 1.2.2* Love seeing what my friends are buying that is making their skin glow and their confidence pop off! Plus, with legit reviews!! ### 5/5 — Loved this product! *2021-07-01, version 1.10.0* I love the concept of sharing purchases with my friends! Such an incredible product and user friendly interface. ### 5/5 — Simplistic, Significant, Savvy *2021-04-29, version 1.9.5* Not to exclude the alluring font used while signing up, this app is what every buyer needs to make mainstream! I cannot trust Amazon bots anymore, so to have an app that is easy to navigate products that I bought gains a lot of trust for me. The algorithms were a surprise at first—as an individual who searches a lot of NCT content, I saw a lot of NCT products in the first 10 seconds of scrolling—but they definitely encourage me to also buy products as well! ### 5/5 — Simple to use *2021-04-14, version 1.9.4* Really great app! ### 5/5 — Super easy to use and a great concept! *2021-03-02, version 1.9.0* I loveee online shopping but sometimes I don’t want to spend money, so this app is the perfect way to feel the satisfaction of online shopping without spending the money!! It was insanely easy to make my account and set everything up. My contacts were synced and I was able to start seeing people’s purchases from the get go which I really liked! ### 5/5 — Love the concept! *2021-01-13, version 1.8.2* Always looking for reviews of products by people I know, and recommendations for the best online shopping finds - this is a great concept, and the app is very easy to use and navigate! ### 5/5 — Opinion *2020-12-05, version 1.8.0* It is an amazing app which is helping out for many products :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
