When You ‘WISH’ Upon An App!

Greetings, Ladies and Gentelnerds. Once more, I found myself out of ideas for the next blog. So I opened the floor to anyone who had a suggestion for a topic.

So, Tammy Cheng, @Frogsage (aka: Harley, aka:Cheng-a-Rang, aka:Big Boobs Magoo) Queen and CoFounder of THE JNS CREW! Suggested I talk about something that was, and I quote, “Less Nerd Related.” WHAT?!? HUH?!? DOES NOT COMPUTE!! ERROR! ERROR!! That’s like asking a Fish not to Fly!….

(Uh… Wait, WHAT?!?)

I KNOW WHAT I SAID AND I’M STICKING TO IT!

So, after some very long consideration.. I figured I’d write a ‘review’ of sorts. For a new app I recently downloaded. “WISH:Shopping Made Fun”  image

The App icon looks like this.. image

It’s the “W”( and yes. That’s my screen..)

(I’m going to try and keep this as short as possible.) A friend of a friend told me about The Wish App. You can order almost anything you like. From Fashion, To Gadgets and everything inbetween! Of course I immediately asked, “Do they Have Comic Book Tees?” And she said “yeah, I think so. But that’s not the only thing. The App gives you discounts off of already discounted prices!” And I was like.. “Huh?! Okay.. So do they have Spiderman and Batman T-Shirts or no?”

So, with that, I went and downloaded the app and went exploring,  image

When searching for items, you have to be a little exact sometimes with what your looking for.  image

But they do have a badass selection of graphic T’s in a lot of types of styles. You could also find a lot of really nice dressy cloths as well.  Even gym gear! image

And if your a Cosplayer, there’s stuff there for you too.. (Some stuff! Didn’t take a really good look. Mostly found some cool ASSASSINS CREED Jackets in all kinds of colors. But I think it’s worth a look.

(UNRELATED SHAMELESS PLUG! If you want really good cosplay accessories you need to go to COSTRADER.COM It’s a place where cosplayers can sell or trade their Cosplay Items at a very good price! You can also follow them on Twitter, @Cos_Trader if you want more info! So go check it out… NOW!! Well after you finish reading the rest of this blog..)

[Your a terrible AD Man..] Fuck you! [Im just saying!] Well, nobody asked you. Now get out of here! This ain’t that type of Blog! [Whatever bro!]

Anyway! Let me explain some of the pretty cool features. You see, you pick something you like. When you click on it, it offers you a way to get even more of a discount. For example: A VENOM hoodie normaly goes for $55, they are offering it to you for, $35. But, lets say, they say share with three friends (via FACEBOOK or TUMBLER for example) and you can unlock a lesser price. Recently, they’ve moved on from that and just give you a clock that says, “place it in your cart now and unlock a lower price!” It’s something like that. Which is pretty cool! Like I said, their selection of items is actually pretty cool. So, they are worth a look. There are times they give you a little bit of ‘bonus’ cash in your virtual wallet, For placing an order. It’s only a few bucks. Since you do sign up with your email account they do keep you up to date with what they have on special on any given day or time.

Furthermore! Before you ask, “Did you order anything, Mr. Knowitall?!” Yes. Yes I did. Of course I wasn’t going to take it for a test ride with my own hard earned money. So, my boss had me make an order for him. With his cash. We searched for a pair of NIGHT VISION BINOCULARS!

[Your boss from Yemen.. Wanted to buy, night vision binoculars?!?] I try not to question his logic… Saves me the headache. [Ah!, I see.. Carry on]

So, upon finding ones of suitable price and style, I loaded his cash into my pre-paid debit card and placed the order…. Back in late November.. Here comes the downside. Ordering from WISH, takes a good deal of patience and timing. I’m not saying it didn’t come in. As a matter of fact, we just received it a few days ago.. December.. 16 or 15. With a delivery estimate of, somewhere between Dec 3-9.. So, yea… It came in pretty late. The nice thing is, WISH sent an apologie for being late and added $5 to my Wallet for my next shopping order, and it doesn’t expire until sometime in March of next year. What must be taken into consideration, is that, WISH is an App with ties to Asia! That’s where most of these things come from. Stràight from the factory, hence the low prices. So, it’s no wonder why it took so long. The nice thing is, you can track your package right from the App itself. Those binoculars went from someplace in china, to Chicago, to New York and then finally.. My shit hole of a place I call a job!

All in all, “WISH” is a pretty cool app worth givng a try, if you have the patience. I’m not telling you you have to try it. I’m seriously not getting a damn thing from WISH, for putting this Blog out there.. But, fuck it! you know. It never hurts to try something new… [Except maybe that one time..] SHUT UP YOU!!

So, until next time folks… Peace out!

[We should never do a blog like this again!] Your telling me!? I’m sticking with my Nerd Shit from now on…
