Pros and cons of Operator — search, shop, and buy with experts app for iPhone and iPad
Operator — search, shop, and buy with experts app good for
Amazing. My biggest fear with this service was if it would be self serving or would the operators act in my interests. First experience they came through on flying colors, actually suggesting a fix for the product I was calling to replace. I then bought 2 higher end items through them. Loved the recommendations.
Great service and time saver. No longer need to research products online. These guys are great.
Great idea and great convenience! I tell the operator what I need and he or she does the searching for me so I can focus on my other responsibilities. The operator recommends options based on my request. There is no obligation to buy, but I have because it is so simple! Its like having a free personal shopper!
What can I say? I love this app. Whatever I think doesnt exist, they find it. I have a taste for the most extravagant things and they find them every time. I have had the app since last year when it debuted on the App Store and to see what it has become, how it has improved is nothing short of fascinating. It has become a staple on my phone and is by far one of my most frequently used apps. A lot of apps have been downloaded, deleted or re-downloaded on my iPhone but operator has ALWAYS remained on my device and that will remain a constant. This is one of those apps that I would be recommending to customers virtually everyday if and when I one day work in the Apple Store. Its that ancillary. I love it and I want to see how much more it will grow.
I am a huge online shopper, but sometimes I dont know where to look (or Im just too lazy) and Operator has been super helpful in finding what Im looking for!
Amazing interface, friendly product experts, and a streamlined purchasing process... What more could you ask for in a shopping app!? 5/5 all the way!
Not everyone knows how to shop, where to go, what to buy. But operators experts do! Helpful, friendly, their team is the best.
Some bad moments
I cant use the app because I need to input a mobile phone number. How am I supposed to do that if I use an iPod Touch instead of an iPhone?!
This app is just Pinterest with 1% of the content and double the "Buy Now" buttons.
This app requests to turn on notifications so you can be "notified of new messages" but it will continuously send you notifications asking you to keep using the app. Not very classy for a style app.
I wanted to make sure I waited until my purchase was delivered before leaving a review.
I love this app! I was looking for some orange curtains for my living room and the Operator was very accommodating. They asked all the right questions and sent me great options within my budget. I paid via Apple Pay, and the u sent them via FedEx. I received my curtained as scheduled and love them! I really like the convenience as well as the interface. Well done!
Love this app. Amazingly convenient. Feels like texting with a friend that just gets you.
Whats most important to me about Operator is that it saves me so much time. I dont have to go to the store. I dont have to look through racks and racks of clothing or shoes or whatever. Operator just finds what I want for me and a few days later its mine. No hassle. Simple as a text message!
What can I say other than how amazing it is with the amount of time this app saves me. I used to research everything before I would purchase something. They have saved me the time and effort and find exactly what I want(sometimes before I even know exactly what I want). I also have a nice t shirt collection that they help me keep unique.
