Mobile Sazze is a wallet's best friend. While trading in some games at EB Gamestop today, I pulled up Mobile Sazze to look up the price of a new "Left Four Dead". I found it on another site for $55.99 when EB wanted $59.99. I should it to the store manager, and he knocked $5 off the price of the game right there in the store to match the online price.

Thanks, Sazze for going mobile!

For starters, the app is pretty simple and pretty quick to load. Searching for items and clicking into different categories loads pretty fast as well. I love that Sazze made a mobile app, because previously, it was kind of slow navigating on the normal page. I know that you'll be adding more features and spice up the appearance once more people start using this, but it's really great already, being in it's first release.

A few things that I like:
-Quick loading of pages
-Easy search function
-Not a lot of clutter
-On/Off switch for pictures
-Prices and where to buy
-Being able to click into user profiles
-Quick home button by pressing on the Sazze Mobile logo on the top!! (LOVE THIS!!)
-Simple picture (if you chose to turn on option) - that way it loads faster and you get to see what it is!

What I would like to see in the future (or some things I didn't like):
-Having a home button on the bottom would be nice too, instead of having to scroll all the way up to the top page
-It would be nice if clicking on the picture would enlarge the photo to make it a high quality photo where you could zoom in (sometimes a few products are so similar, a small picture is hard to tell which one is which, or why one is better than the other - looks wise)
-Being able to see 'elite' next to elite users
-Being able to sort between categories when you click into a users profile (that way if you like their reviews, you can follow different categories and find other things you're interested in, instead of having to scroll looking for them)
-Some items don't have prices on them, or where to buy, and being able to integrate the missing prices onto all the items would help a lot when you're in a Brick and Mortar store, and wanting to double check prices - (it helps not having to switch around websites when you're using the internet on your phone, because sometimes it's really slow, and can be frustrating having to check a review, then go and find a competing price)

Overall, I really like this new mobile application. Sazze did a great job with this! I hope other users see my comments and realize how useful a tool this can be. Hopefully more people will use this, so we can get some upgraded features!

When I checked the bos to show images in results, the images did not show. I had to click "on" to show images once the search results were shown.

I would prefer to see the price range per item than the starting price. Serveral items didn't show price at all. This took away from your quick load because I had to click on each link individually to check pricing.

When searching for Ugg Boots, different results came up for "Ugg Boot" and "Uggs Boots". The same results should be found with or without the "s". I also noticed that my phone tried to auto correct Ugg to Ugh and it did find correct results. I had no search results when I misspelled items. It could use some work on similarities/plurals.

Being able to sort your search results by price, description, ratings, etc. would be very helpful when there is several pages of results.

When I followed your links to find Nintendo Wii games. I'm not sure why it gave me the option to narrow my search to the category I was already in.

Overall, the site is very useful and I look forward to using it.

I like it, i'll us it, but would like to see the price range displayed on the search results. Also, the top categories links aren't needed on search results, they just clutter things up a bit, IMO. I like that it works, but it would be nice to be able to look an item up by its MFR/part number as well, to get some faster results. A slightly less picky search might be nice as well. It's definitely great Sazze is going mobile! I'm impressed so far and hope that they keep improving it! :D

After looking at Sazze mobile again, I think I need to fix my review - I see that most of the part numbers are actually there, which I guess I must have missed the first time! I was very happy to see that.

Things that I like are that it is simple, easy to use, and fast. Also, there is tons of information at the user's fingertips. It gives comprehensive, helpful reviews, and, well, it does exactly what I would expect! I've been telling/showing all my friends about it since then, and all of them have been very impressed.

I do also have a few more recommendations too, but they're mostly minor details. I know not all phones have javascript on them, but I think it would be sweet to have javascript links to show/hide the rest of reviews rather than the regular html links. However, if it would slow down the site at all (I guess you'd have to detect whether they had it or not), I would leave it as is. Speaking of which, every time I've read into a review, I didn't need the whole set of top categories links at the bottom of the page, I either typed in a new search, hit the home link, or just clicked the link that leads back (perhaps you could add a link at the bottom that explicitly states "back"), but I think the category things are a bit too much clutter for search results and reviews. Also, my friend's screen was a bit small, and he thought that the search didn't return any results the first few times when he just saw the 'refine your search' links at the top (and didn't scroll down to the actual products), so if possible, maybe try making the number of results stand out a bit better on the top.

With the above stated, I LOVE SAZZE MOBILE! :)

I'd be willing to help you guys out also if you have any more questions, feel free to contact me (my email is listed on my profile). I'm also a software developer if that helps any. Great mobile app ideas like this always spark my interest, so I really hope Sazze takes off on the phone. I'll be sure to keep telling my friends about it :D

Since last time, some more comments on Sazze Mobile:

I think it'd be awesome to be able to write a quick little review for items while on the go as well, if you could include a link for that.

I'm torn as to whether or not I think there should be more information on each product's page or not...Sometimes I don't want to see entire paragraphs, but sometimes I want to read up just a little more on the product without clicking through. Hmm...

I still think the 'top categories' links in the search results need to go.

Another thought - how about including a text ad somewhere on the mobile homepage for a random deal off dealspl.us or something like that? I think that would be really useful for us (and give you guys an opportunity to make some money in the future!)

I am still impressed by Sazze Mobile! Keep up the good work!

This is wonderful. Worked very well on my Palm Treo.For a quick price check 'on the go', I don't think you can beat this site.

The site is very user friendly; Loads fast which is key on a mobile device. Used my Itouch to navigate the site and find prices for electronic items.

I would recommend the last update date/time for the prices - some prices differed on the vendor site than what was listed on sazze

Sazzle is a great and handy website for checking up prices on the go. Although it's not that fancy, this website is user friendly and loads quickly on a mobile phone.It has a large database full of information on the prices of many items however if the font was larger that will be better because most mobiles do not have screens that are as big as the ones on Smartphones and Iphones.
Here are some more pros and cons about this site.
Pros:
I like the ability to turn on/off the images which quickens load time.
I like a lot of the deals they offer.
I like the reviews since it allows buyers to get information from people who bought the item.


Cons:
It would be better if some of the items had a more detailed spec, for example for laptop I want to know the graphics card.
Also larger pictures would be appreciated so that I can see the item in detail, multiple picture is also cool.

Future features
If there was going to be a function where it lists the prices from highest to lowest, and highest ratings to lowest that'll be awesome.
Also, if there was a deal section that shows the deals of stores that'll be cool too

Overall, this is a snazzy mobile site and I will definitely use it to check up prices later on.

I like the fact that you can turn the images on or off, and it loads very fast in comparison to some other sites. I would like to see better iPhone interface that utilizes either the standard iPhone UI that some mobile sites are using or something similar to Gmail or Amazon's iPhone sites. I also agree that the text is rather small. Maybe the items could also have an alternating highlight color to quickly distinguish which item is which.

Overall it is a great start and it has been added to my bookmarks!

I have the LG Voyager and I must say that I love the quickness of sazze mobile. However, when loading up the home screen (http://m.sazze.com) the progress bar at the bottom hangs up at the 1/5th mark and says "opening.." despite being fully loaded. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my phone or something with the site itself but it's kind of annoying.

Regardless, I can navigate just fine and, as I mentioned before, I love how quick it is!

I just thought of something that would be really cool when viewing prices of an item: i.e. Xbox 360, it lists some prices that are from ebay. You could add text to each one that would indicate that it's a Buy it Now price to help alleviate possible confusion as to whether it was a bidding price or not and thus save time for people who navigate over to the specific ebay page to be sure.

I just tried it on my iPhone (incidentally, I wish I had known about this on Black Friday when I was looking up reviews and price comparisons--Sazze standard takes too long to load over EDGE). The load times were terrifically fast, and I really appreciate that when I'm shopping and trying to find out if something is a good deal or if it's just cheap because nobody really wants it. I wish that if Sazze.com recognized I was accessing it from a mobile device that it would go to the mobile version by default (with the option of going to the standard page). If there is only 1 review of a product, then I wish that was expanded by default instead of having to click 'more info.'

Little worried about the quality of deals being shown, not sure where the data is coming from? Some looked a little pricey...

You can get to the internet from a phone. Wow! I can only call numbers from my phone, sometimes people send me words, but I'm sure my phone can't return that either. I can only wish to win some incredible prizes :)

I viewed it on my ipod touch. I thought it was pretty cool and very easy to use and search for products. I think It would be cool to be able to sign in and post reviews too. Although from my touch I can view the whole website it's better to do it this way because then it doesn't take as long to load. Good job sazze.
