This doesn't seem like something that's only useful on my phone - why can't I use it on the web?

Good point. A few reasons:

- On the phone you can use it in stores with a UI specifically for touch.

- There are a bunch of geo and camera-based features coming which will need phone hardware.

- We threw up a quick web test and there was less interest than now, partly because it felt less novel on the web.

- My guess is researching at home will shift to picking a product on the fly since it's in your pocket and it actually works well.

Fair enough. As someone who doesn't use their phone for shopping, this isn't for me - but I would have checked it out if it had been on the web. Good luck!

Thanks! Btw do you have an Android, or just really don't want to use an app for this?

iOS, but I do all my shopping on a desktop computer. Touch interfaces have a long way to go before they're low hassle enough to be worthwhile for me.

Hmm, makes sense. You could always try it (it's free) and delete if you don't like. We're about to take app down temporarily for press launch so if you want, grab it before tomorrow morning. Really appreciate your thoughts, thanks.
