I’ve been hoping that ShopMy would release an app for the broader shopper base since it launched circles this summer - and it’s better than I could have anticipated. I’ve spent all day getting my app all set up and it really feels like your own little personalized shop of things you love and creators you love. The Lists feature is incredible - I can organize and save products for later (it’s perfect ahead of the holidays). If you always have a million tabs open of products you want to buy or screenshots from creators you follow - this is a game changer. Scrolling Latest Finds from creators in my circles is so addictive too, I love how it updates to show you what’s new, when it was linked, who else loves the product. It’s just so sleek and easy to navigate, it’s a truly enjoyable product to use and is elevated but not intimidating. It feels like an app from a luxury brand but with the most intuitive technology. Loving it!

As a consumer, I have been getting so fatigued by how much noise around products there is out there on socials. While I love engaging with meaningful content, my whole feed has turned into a giant billboard where I’m not sure who or what to trust any more which endorsed products and posts prioritized on my feed vs actual people I want to get recommendations from. I love this new side of ShopMy so I can follow the people I actually care about and see what products they are recommending without scrolling through all of the noise. Algorithms are out. ShopMy Shopping app is IN!!!!!

I really like the concept but the execution is lacking. As someone who works in tech brand development here is some feedback; too many bugs, I’m constantly unable to open links. The ability for lower level creators to level up tiers is too high, even when it’s been proven they hold more social authority with their audience. Having brands reaching out to creators, to promote product they don’t own but essentially asking them to purchase at a discounted rate is a bit backwards and unethical. No one should be asked to promote products they haven’t used. I’ve been using the app for months now and still haven’t seen any of the commission I’ve earned which concerns me. Please take this as constructive criticism from a creator and a fellow industry expert.
