Be warned! About 75% of the time, this app is COMPLETELY wrong. Sometimes it pops up with other sites that sell it for the same or even more, but says there's a better deal! Or, it sends you to another site with a product that's completely different, or wrong color, or wrong length, or wrong brand, etc, etc. Ever since CNET took over this app, it's actually gotten worse! And those horrible, often useless, pop-ups that can't be switched off!!! CNET Shopping is, for me, much more bother than it's worth.

Sick and tired of their credit card ad. Shows up on Amazon. Shows up on eBay. Shows up on Lowe's. Shows up on any shopping site. What little it saved me wasn't worth the aggravation and there's no way to turn that pop-up off. It was good, once, before the frequent pop up ad got shoved in my face all the time.
