Wish App Review


About this post



Synopsis: Wish or Wish.com is a shopping app much like E-bay or Amazon.
Difficulty: Easy-ish
Safe?: Yes
Cost: Free with in-app/online purchase
Platforms: PC, Android, IOS
My Suggestion: You can expect to get disappointed unless you have a lot of patience.

The Fluff (Skip to Pros and Cons) 

About Wish/Wish.com: So, wish is an app/website that allows you to buy things possibly insanely cheap. Discounts can range between 30% up to 99%, or so is advertised. 

 In regards to placing an order, it simple! You link your bank account, card , or Paypal account then click on an item you are interested in. Click the final confirmation and your done.

 Sounds Simple Enough, But Is It Safe?: In short, the app is safe. It's been around for quite some time (2010). It is a legitimate company that works similarly to Amazon.com. My personal experience is positive when it comes down to refunds and purchases. Also, the app has not yielded any malware, viruses, or fraud.

 Does Wish Cost Anything: It does not cost anything to use the app or website but of course, it is a shopping app, and the point of it is to spend money. Thus far, out of Amazon.com and E-bay, you will be spending a lot less on items. This is not a bidding site and everything is in the fashion of "buy-it-now".
Do I Get What I Pay For?: With Wish, you need to keep an open mind. A lot of items are knock-offs or low quality items however, for the price that is being paid, this isn't 100% a bad thing. Besides, your browsing on there to save money!

 Some of the things I've received on Wish like cosmetics all the way up to a smart watch have worked out fine for me and hey don't have any issues with them despite the price I paid.

 Beware however, the prices advertised may sound too good to be true. That is probably because they are too good to be true. If an expensive item is 75% off or more, you will have a pretty small chance of actually receiving or "winning" that item. If an item is small enough or seems low price to begin with (without the Wish coupon), then chances are you will be fine and receive or "win" that item. If your wanting to buy something that is $300 and its 99% off where the price is now $0.50 then there is a super high chance you won't get it so don't be too disappointed. Even if you don't receive or "win" the item, Wish will at least refund you in full.
Free items!!!
There Are Free Items: Yes, its true. There is a section that advertised free items. If you decide to purchase these, the only thing you will need to pay is shipping (that's how they get ya :-p). It is however not bad and they do have some interesting small items for free. This feature works more often than the 99% off coupons/offers.








Rewards!!!
Wish Has A Rewards Program: From daily log-in to a few small tasks, you will receive reward points. These points can go toward further discounts/coupons.









Flexible Payment Methods: If you are cautious they provide options to pay/register with Paypal or if you want a more direct route you can submit your credit care information.

 Pros:

  • Free to use
  • Possibility of getting something really nice for really cheap
  • Easy to use
  • Lower prices than most sites/apps
  • There are some free-ish items
  • Easy to use interface
  • Referral program
  • Rewards programs

Cons:

  • Sadly, you have a chance of not being able to receive or win an item.
  • Lots of low quality
  • Lots of "knock-off" items


 My Suggestion: I'm in-between wanting to uninstall it. To be honest, I'm pretty thrifty and I'm not receiving or "winning" the items I've spent a lot of time browsing for. Although a few purchases have been promising, its a little bit of a hassle to purchase and then go through the refund process. 

 If you are a lot more patient than I am however, give it a shot, it's free, flexible, and may work out well for you! 
Referral Program
On An End Note: No obligation however, if you've enjoyed this review, please support me in using my referral code with Wish. Yes, they have a referral program. Before assisting me, the referral program gets you $2 per sign up for every friend you refer.

Streamer Tip: The Professional Lurker

Image
Photo by Dids from Pexels The Professional Lurker For starters, it's not what you think! If you're unfamiliar with message boards, forums, chat rooms, or live streams; you may think a lurker is a negative entity to have around. We think, someone or some THING is watching, stalking, and waiting. In the streaming world however, lurking can provide some benefits. What is a stream lurker and why do they lurk? Simply put, a lurker is someone that chooses not to or is unable to participate in a stream's chat. There are many reasons a person may not participate in a stream or the stream's chat that may be, but not limited to, social anxiety, shyness, out for a drive, working, and/or just about any reason that hinders the ability to type or click something in the stream. So, why lurk?  Support! While some lurkers are there to just check out a streamer most lurkers, from my experience, are there to support the streamer. In most cases, while not active, they still count as a numb...
