Reviews42 adds location-based services on Android App

The service will use the GPS/Wi-Fi system of the user's phone to detect the location and then suggest the category-specific retail stores within the vicinity of user.
 
The application will help the consumers to combat challenges such as price transparency, availability of the product, correct place to buy and availability of retail stores in the vicinity. The application contains information of more than 1.5 million products and 350 product categories.
 
The focus of the organization is to make the Indian shopper smarter by equipping him with valuable information so that he or she can take informed decisions. The company aims to arm consumers with all the requisite information before they make a purchase decision.
 
When people are shopping in a retail store, they are at an information disadvantage vis-à-vis prices, features, and reviews of different brands at other stores. Reviews42 intends to empower these shoppers by making all the desired information easily available on the user’s mobile phone, said Neeraj Jain, Co-Founder, Reviews42.
