Yesterday, Torstar Digital announced that ShopCatch, a free, location-based app available for iPhone® smartphones and through its mobile website, is officially available across Canada to help consumers shop smarter and spend less. How awesome is that? I bet you have some shopping left to do for the holiday season because just like us you didn’t start in November like you said you would.

ShopCatch is one of the best mobile apps and websites to find deals, coupons and exclusive offers in fashion, home, travel and beauty from top brand name retailers and malls across Canada. With more than 100 deals each week from over 150 retailers nationwide, the ShopCatch team works overtime to help ensure users do not miss out on savings, making it a trusted comprehensive source of major retailer deal information. The simplicity of the app allows users to be in-the-know on the most enticing offers when they are on the go and ready to shop by sourcing the best nearby deals using the GPS feature on their mobile phone.

“With the holidays quickly approaching, consumers will be looking for deals now more than ever. ShopCatch is like your handheld personal assistant, helping you to save time and money,”said Candice Faktor, vice-president of Strategy and New Ventures at Torstar Digital. “We’re here to simplify the process and ensure that Canadians are getting the best quality deals in the most accessible way possible.”

Users can redeem a deal using ShopCatch in three easy steps:

Use the app or mobile website to locate a deal near their location.

Tap on the details of the deal to pull up its promotional code or coupon.

Show the promotional code or coupon to the cashier to redeem.

I’ve tried this app & I adore it. It’s really cool especially if you’re just out with some friends and want to find the nearest deal – how cool will you look when you help your friends save a few bucks this season?
