AliExpress

The items are not so affordable anymore, at least for us in Eastern European countries (Croatia) but they are still more affordable than local resellers or other shopping apps or sites. The problems are: the app says you have a certain amount of € in coins but it's just some random amount you can't really use as a discount for your purchase. Also, the game "Grow to get" gets more difficult toward the end and it's not really worth the hassle, and it randomly changed my language to German.

So far so good. I like to buy gadgets, electronic devices and pen knives, replacement parts of computers ect. The prices are pretty good though they don't include tax until the checkout which I always forget. Most items arrive quickly (1-2 weeks). The quality of items is hit and miss. Sometimes it's really good other times it's not good, the quality of items that is. I find this app to be very addictive, looking for fun things to buy at really low prices.

I rather like the website, but I find the app harder to search and designed to incentivize impulse purchases rather than planned searches. This is particularly evident when it comes to discounts being put in your face as you shop. Sometimes it feels a little Las Vegas-like. This is better for the website revenue, but not as good for the customer and muddies the shopping experience. That being said, though both could use improvement in both search and filtering, I will continue to shop:)
