When it comes to shopping, women love to check out lots of different stores for the latest styles and trends, as well as inspiration when it comes to clothes and accessories.

One way that a lot of people would do this is by using their Apple iPhone smartphone as a helpful tool for seeking out and comparing what’s on offer. At present, there are over a million apps in the Apple App Store, and more than a handful are related to shopping. Here are some of the best and favourite iPhone shopping apps that women use:

ASOS

My High Street

Let’s face it; many shops on the High Street seem to change location on a regular basis, and sometimes new ones open and existing ones close. Although some ladies like to spend a whole day walking around town checking out all of the different shops around, there are some who would prefer to only shop at specific brand stores.

This is where the My High Street app for the Apple iPhone comes in handy. It lets you choose your favorite High Street retailer from a list, tap on the “Locate” button, and using your iPhone’s GPS receiver it will give you directions to your nearest store locations. How clever is that! This app should definitely be downloaded.
