SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - May 3, 2012) - If you have ever bought a product only to find it 20 percent less at another store in less than a week, there's a new app for you. Decide.com, the only shopping service that predicts when to buy products with no regrets, today announced the Decide Shopping and Price Predictor App for iPad® is now available on the App Store(SM).
The new Decide App offers iPad users price predictions and "Buy" and "Wait" recommendations on more than 500,000 products in consumer electronics and home appliances. The app also features Decide's innovative new Got Your Back™ price guarantee, committing to shoppers that if they purchase an eligible product designated a "Buy" and the price drops within two weeks, the company will automatically issue a payment for the full amount of the price drop.
