However, South Africa’s MySidekick wants to end this menace.

The new smartphone and tablet shopping app wants to do the hard work for its users by collecting all the hottest specials and promotions throughout the country as their personal shopping assistant. The app browses a users’ favourite items, specials, sales and vouchers from major retailers near them.

Apart from helping users find specials, sales and coupons, users also stand a chance to win prizes in sveral competitions from retailers and participating malls. The app also has emergency numbers and services for Ambulances, Police stations, Poison Line, AA and Petrol Stations & ATM’s nearest to them.

It also promises to help shoppers locate shops and malls with directions and the in-app map and now has over 500 Retailers and thousands of outlets with a search functionality.

According to Leonard Brewer, CEO of MySidekick, the app instantly gives users a unique and simplified shopping experience with an updated, comprehensive overview of local specials, promotions, sales, products and coupons available at major retail stores in South Africa.

Users can find and call emergency services, locate retailers and malls, find contact details and get directions to them on a map using their smartphone’s current location.
