I don't understand why this is only an app, or even an iOS exclusive app. Maybe I am no longer the norm, but I do most of my shopping on the web. So even if I had an iOS device, I wouldn't be into the idea of needing an app to buy a T-shirt from a band I like.

Edit: I came off more negative then I intended. I really love the idea, I am just a bit confused and number about it being locked up as an app.

Pretty cool! A couple of the bands I searched for only had albums, what sources are you pulling from? Merchnow has a bunch of apparel for the bands I was searching for. (Parkway Drive and Bring me the horizon)

The first app I've downloaded that doesn't ask to push notifications to me. <prayer hands emoji>

How do you do the personalization?
