With an update of its iPhone application and the release of its new
Android app, Shopcade is now making it easier for young fashionistas to
keep up with top trends and deals.
Keeping up with new fashion styles takes a large amount of time and effort, and the same goes for keeping up with good deals or even finding the best-priced items for the looks girls and guys covet. Shopcade, a daily source of fashion trends and deals, introduces a one-stop shop for time and cost-conscious young fashionistas.
Everyday the app features looks from the celebs style-setters admire, the bloggers that inspire them, the magazines they read, and Shopcades own community of trend setters. When users find products they like, they can shop or save them for later and get alerted whenever they go on sale.
As Nathalie Gaveau, Shopcade Founder & CEO, explains: "Shopcade is the go-to app for fashion lovers who are looking for celeb styles, real-life trends and deals."
Shopcade is available on the AppStore and on the Google Play Store for free.

Behind the scenes
Unlike other online shopping marketplaces that base recommendations on previous shopping activity, the entire Shopcade experience - from what is seen in a users feed to what deals and products are ranked highest in searches - is primarily based on shoppers social and interest graphs. Discovery of other shoppers whose opinions can be trusted, is facilitated by Shopcade's Trend Score, inspired by Klouts influence rating program. Graph technologies and natural language processing are at the heart of this online shopping breakthrough -- connecting users with other Shopcaders, deals, brands, and retailers they'll love.
Shopcade is currently active in the US and the UK, and looking forward to launching new countries next year.

Amber Atherton (My Flash Trash/ Made in Chelsea)
Great deals on BIG names! I found Alexander McQueen burlesque pumps for 60% off! I would have never found them at such a reduce price if it wasnt for Shopcade.
Jess Shanahan
"Goodbye to trailing voucher sites! Loving the 'Deals on products I want'! Even easier to pick up a bargain, especially when there's multiple deals to choose from. Sooooo much easier than trailing through voucher sites or even more annoying spotting a code just after you've clicked pay."
Amy Zwaan
"One Stop Fashion Shop! I love how all on trend fashion items are together to access in one area!"
