| 2021-12-11 | Rooskie91 | | Directs you to bougie parts of town to boutiques for women's clothing. There's nothing on it I'm interested in, like electronics, toys, hobby supplies, etc. Sook constantly tells me there's nothing near me. If I expand the radius to 100mi, it directs me to the boutiques in the bougie part of town selling "denim button down girls dress $80!" This does nothing for me when I need that specialized wrench, new pair of headphones, college textbook, replacement oven heating element etc... And I can only find it on Amazon. Has also recent been running a site wide spam advertisement campaign on Reddit for the past few days. I would avoid this app at all costs. |

| 2021-09-07 | RAH | | It's really only as good as the number of local retailers people have added to it. If you live in a city of a million or more and lots of people adding retailers to it maybe it's good. My quarter million people city has too few retailers added for it to be useful. Regardless of what I search for in Amazon, it has the same list of retailers AND products which are unrelated to what I'm looking at. It defaults to filling up the Sook browser window regardless of the relevance of the items. It would be better to just leave it blank than put in links to shoes and butter when you're searching for a wrench. I'll check back from time to time to see if it improves. |
| 2021-09-04 | GoOtterGo | | Great little plugin. Been using it during COVID when we couldn't physically go into stores. Lots of variety, has all our local places which has been great. I wish there were more filter options, but I understand it's a one-man project so I'll take what I can get! |
| 2021-08-26 | kingdomsaint | | It looks like a great idea for those who want to support their local shops and protect them from the retail bullies. I fully support such tools. This one needs to be a bit beefed up with options and made a bit more robust in order to fulfill its promise. I'll give it a year and see how it grows. |
| 2021-08-11 | Firefox user 14999073 | | Such a great idea so poorly executed. The list of stores is tiny and the recommendations are god awful. I tested by searching for men's shorts on amazon and after expanding the distance to 100 miles it finally recommended some deals on women's leggings 58 miles away. |
