GearBest...Discount using their App

[calnorth]

Apols if already known but as title. Using their App knocks off between 20 and 40 percent on a number of items. Can be seen on some item pages as... Save an extra £1.42 for using the App

For instance:

I know its cheapo watches but I clocked this game when a local watch shop attempted to charge my wife £10 for a 50p battery change. Buy a cheopo watch was the answer for half that price. So I bought two different ones and well pleased with result. Likely have to bin them after a year but...

There are many other offers like that though. Likely not vape stuff so much?

Thats certainly the case if the smart phone is not controlled under App Info/Permissions (No permissions granted). However, who could possibly trust commercial software?

I think the problem really lies where folk hold their whole life story on these devices...just asking for it really?
