Shopaholic 2 app review: let out your inner shopaholic

Introduction

Being a shopaholic in real life is obviously not ideal for your bank account but there's nothing stopping you from being a virtual shopaholic! The Shopaholic 2 game can be enjoyed on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and although it may seem it’s built for kids you'll find yourself playing along. In this game you get to shop for all kinds of fabulous items in fancy boutiques, unlocking more items as you go. So let the shopping begin without any fear of draining your bank account.

Your Own Virtual Shopping Mall

This app pretty much gives you a private shopping mall filled with boutiques that are bursting with fabulous items. You will be able to shop to your heart's content buying clothes, accessories, and shoes. Just like in real life you'll get to store all your purchases in your closet. You get to do more than shop though: you will also get to use all those items to dress your character in to attend parties, special events, and plenty more. With that in mind you’ll want to make sure you pick up a variety of items while shopping so you have an outfit for each occasion.

The game is free to play but there are a number of in-app purchases that let you shop even more. These packages range from $1.99 to $24.99.

 

The Shopping Experience

Loading the game can be a very slow process as I have come to experience; it seems this is a sentiment shared by other users too. Once it actually loads though, you should be in for smooth sailing. The graphics, gameplay, and sound effects are all plenty of fun, making the app ideal for even young kids. When you first start you will be able to create your own character choosing her eye color, hair color, and skin tone.

Only some of the options are free, while others require the use of “coins.” You are given some coins to start with and you can earn more through the game or purchase them.

Next you will get your character dressed (there is only one outfit to start with) and then head out to start shopping.

The map gives you plenty of shopping options; each boutique specializes in a particular item or type of clothing.

I will say I have had issues with the app crashing. It crashes at different points and because launching the game is so slow it just starts getting really frustrating.
