How often do I want to try something new, but there is no certainty that it is not to spend their money for nothing? It is much easier to choose if there is at least some reviews from friends, but you're not going to ring all, asking: "How do you like the chocolate? I have not tried? "

If you install the free application Rate & Goods, the problem of uncertainty is erased, and you can to experiment as you wish, supporting their choices and views of other users leaving his own.

It's nice to have an opinion and directly influence the ranking of goods, it is interesting not just buy a product, but also to make a photo, to be displayed on the item card, put the estimate at 10-point scale, and know that it will help others customers.

How to get started

You can directly search for products and read the comments, but in order to leave ratings and reviews, it is necessary to create an account, so that it is better to do it in order not to lose time.

Create your profile, display photos and forth - to shop.

Bar codes or the name

On the main page of the application you will see a barcode scanner and a golf title. If you are not near the packaging of the product, you can search by name or manufacturer, but with a bar code of course faster.

To test how the application works, I scanned the office coffee bar code and it turned out that he was already in the list. However, without photos and reviews, so I captured it and put her assessment. Photos are added at once, it first checks the moderator, so to see the fruit of their labors will be later.

Other products often already have a picture, or even a few - from different users. Yet there is the weight of packaging, the manufacturer and brand. You can view all information about the manufacturer, his address, phone number, e-mail, and even contact him. Recently a positive impact on your rankings.

If the item you are scanning, no reviews, you can see other products from the same manufacturer, maybe they have already appreciated. Thus, you do not have to think long in the store: scan bar code and see how popular the right product.

Contribute to the common cause

You can simply use the application, waiting for when it will be filled with information about each product, but much more interesting to participate in the filling, in fact Rate & Goods sent just that - getting opinions from consumers.

This has its pros and cons:

—

reviews are not always informative. That is, as a comment can be just "a mom buys" or "no longer take" for no reason. Of course, there are also detailed, useful feedback, in which they write that the product is in good or bad, but there could be as lucky. By the way, you can celebrate the helpful comments and even receive a prize for useful information about the product. Every month there is a contest for the best comments from the prize fund of 30 thousand. rubles.

+

With regard to their comments, keep them simple and easy: add a review, positive qualities, marked green and negative - red, rate from 1 to 10 and all - a comment is added, you can move on to another product.

Well, the last "trick» Rate & Goods - you can in real time to observe how users across the country scan different products. On scanning the map goods displayed every reading of the bar code using the application, and it happens quite often.

Now the application more than 5 million items, and on the map shows how often add new ones. And with the same add reviews, comments and photos. Agree, it is easier to decide on the purchase, if it a top 10 and many reviews "very tasty" than if you do nothing about it know.
