Flipp is the free app available for iOS and Android devices that gives you access to all of your favorite weekly ads, plus local stores to help you find deals in your community, right where you live. When you first open the app it can detect your location or you can enter your zipcode, from there Flipp will show ads relevant to your area. The first thing I noticed about the Flipp app is how well it is laid out and how intuitive it is to use. Aggregating retail flyers from over 400 national chains plus local content could quickly get overwhelming, but not with the Flipp.
I can choose to view featured ads, an alphabetical listing of ads or view the latest ads, all three choices are laid out beautifully and the app responds as fast I can tap an option and you can even filter items by category from the app menu.
Once inside the ad of your choice, just tap the item you are interested in to clip it. To view a larger picture of them item and more details just press and hold on the item. Notice in the pic above on the right the little slider bar at the bottom. This handy little slider allows you to filter items in the ad by a % off. I have chosen 25% off and as you can see it says there are three items that match this criteria and the 2 that are on this page are highlighted, how handy is that?
After you have clipped all of your items choose “clippings” from the app menu and you will see all items you clipped separated by ad. One of the most unique features of this app is the Shopping List feature. Other apps let you add items to a shopping list, but with Flipp when you add an item it looks through all of your local ads to see if it can find a match. As you can see in the screen above and right, I added cheese to my list and it found 32 results across all of the ads for my area. No more flipping through page after page trying to find that item you need.
A recap of all the features of the Flipp app is below:
- Flip – Browse through all of your weekly local flyers quickly and intuitively
- Shopping List – Plan ahead and stay organized while shopping by adding items to the digital list, discovering matching offers from your local flyers, and checking them off in-store
- Search – Easily find a specific store, item or brand
- Clippings – Tap an item in a flyer to clip it for easy access while shopping and price-matching
- Item Details – Tap and hold on an item for additional product information and reviews
- Discount Slider – Highlights the best savings in the flyer to find them at-a-glance
- Notifications – Reminders about expiring clippings and nearby offers ensure you never miss a deal
I highly recommend you check out the Flipp out for your next shopping trip and see for yourself how much time and hopefully extra money it can save you. Be sure to check out the YouTube video below for more info and show Flipp some love on facebook, twitter and YouTube.
