NEW YORK, Mar 08, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) ?
Educated shopping got easier today with the launch of the ConsumerSearch
app for iPhone and iPod Touch. The new app, available through the App
Store, offers insights and research on thousands of consumer
products in over 400 product categories to help users make informed

separate the top-rated products from those less trustworthy. The

Automotive, Fitness Sports, Computers Internet and Family Pets.
?With a simple, user-friendly interface, the ConsumerSearch app provides
step-by-step instructions of what to look for, how to choose a product,
and what to compare, giving our mobile users the knowledge they need to
be smarter shoppers,? said Brett Krasnove, director of product
