Critify - A new online shopping app
Hello everyone,
I'm Roy, this is my first time here. I am one of two co-founders and we have been working on this app for the last 8 months. I'd like to introduce Crifity. We are days away from launch and I thought it would be a good idea to begin putting it out there.
The premise of the app is that you can scan or look up any product, and our app will give you a rating based on online reviews, price comparisons and product alternatives to help you make the best online purchase. We created a simple yet dynamic way of comparing products based on their quality and price at the tip of your fingers. The main features for the MVP are:
Online reviews for the product.
Price and product alternative comparisons
Product analysis
You choose how much you want to learn about the product instead of getting overwhelming information at once.
You get to create a list of products you want to compare simultaneously.
We should release this app in the coming week, and we are also currently working on the landing page. It has just been the two of us and we have spent a lot of time on this project and I hope to get any feedback from this introductory post and questions are welcome. Let me know if I can answer anything.

@yakov_keselman Yakov, that's a great point and something we have thought about and considered. Without getting into the weeds and too many details, one way we combat this is by looking at reviews from multiple different sources. We also highlight any negative feedback users have reported even if it's a small subset. Obviously, these can be faked too but we plan on eventually releasing a few features to help tackle this better.
Thank you for your input. Very much appreciated!
Sounds promising! Have you figured out a way to distinguish between genuine reviews and fake reviews? Some products get artificially high reviews because of the latter.
