Furnish app review

Furnish

Price: Free

Furnish by District Nerds, LLC is a catalog full of furniture that makes shopping simple.

If you're looking to refurnish your home or just looking for that key piece or two this app makes it fast and fun. It combines the catalog offerings of Crate & Barrel, IKEA, and Pottery Barn into one simple app. There's no need to visit all the sites separately when you can view them together.

The developer is also working to include other top-name retailers such as Sears, Living Spaces, Ashleys, Restoration Hardware, Bassett, Plummers, Target, DWR, and CB2.

What's great is that once you find a product you like, you can purchase right from within the app. There is no log in or sign up needed to use the app; you can download it and start shopping immediately. Even though it's free you won't find any annoying ads to clutter up the pages.

As you browse through the offerings you can tap on a product to view details, pricing, and a 3D picture of it that allows you to view it from all angles. This is especially handy when you’re trying to visualize how an item would work in the space. Navigating through the products is easy as you begin by selecting which room it is you want to shop for. From there you'll find the room is divided into categories so you aren't overwhelmed by choices.

Furnish was updated on Apr. 23, 2013 and currently has 70 customer ratings with an average rating of four out of five stars.

The fact that you can find so many products from a variety of stores in one location is not only handy but a huge time saver. I also appreciated that you could buy directly from within the app.

For: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad with iOS 5.1 or later. Furnish is optimized for iPhone 5.
