Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TANGS at none against FairPrice Group's shown. TANGS also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). FairPrice Group's advantage is ratings volume (116 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.7 for TANGS against 3.7 for FairPrice Group.

  • The app is so clever, a new AI app that doesn’t require search bar. Agentic AI smart app where it does the shopping for you know what you want, it seems to have know what you are thinking. Well done AI team!
  • Please stop adjusting the brightness setting on my device
  • Apple Pay is still broken. Latest iOS and latest FairPrice app. Nothing happens after paying with Apple Pay. On the Apple Pay side, the “ding” of approval can be heard. But Fair Price app just stalls.
  • Loyalty cards to Wallet please
  • What I find lacking in the app, is the option to add items, once the order has been made.
  • If you can have中文界面, it would be better and more attractive
  • The availability of items will become as wide as in store
  • How do I get my Link points if I shop online ?
  • Inclusion of expiry dates, and more details on ingredients.
  • Why bother to show me and tell me I can’t buy?
  • UI should be updated to latest iOS resolutions
  • For input of credit card details, perhaps can have the option of activating the phone camera to capture the card details.
  • Please save items in cart in case I cannot complete checkout immediately!
  • There is no box to key in my link points Plus!
  • I would also prefer if I could stay logged on on the same mobile device.
