Thanks to Newegg, I watched their 3 videos for building your own computer. I did a little match making of PC components, paid for, shipped, and built step by step with the same 3 videos. Here I am today typing this review on that rig. I really enjoyed my experience. Thank you.

Fast, Sleek, Easy, Powerful - Everything an App like this should be.
The conundrum is with an App this well designed, why is their website still using 10 year old navigation and cumbersome usability?
With a large base of HTML5 browsers there is no reason Newegg should not use the Windows 8 App as a model for their website design, especially the filtering, sorting, and access to information.
This is the best way to browse computer products and shop currently.

Perfect example of a great Windows 8-style app. Quickly allows me to see my account, check on my orders, check on shipping, search for products, etc. Nice job. Keep updating it!

I have always gotten great service from New Egg, and their app is feature rich and easy to use.

This app is gorgeous, really fast navigation, and the login-enabled features like wishlist and account info are all there. Well done!
30 September 2014
I've used this on a desktop, a laptop, and a tablet. This app definitely works better on a tablet, but don't let that stop you from trying it out on your desktop. The presentation is pleasing, and very evocative of Newegg's style, while remaining consistent with the Windows App ecosystem.

Does not have the lastest Shopruner and V.me option. The web browser version have all.

I've been a Newegg customer for a few years. In most cases you just can't beat their prices. They usually have free or very low cost and fast shipping. Their customer service is great with a callback option, fast and friendly service. My only complaint, and it's substantial, is their return policies. You had better be sure you want what you're buying because they hit you with a 25% restocking fee and you have to cover shipping. This is a horrible return policy for a company that does most of its business online. There's no "test driving", so you're pretty much buying blind with the exception of a description, pictures and customer reviews. Newegg, you really should allow a reasonable time for customers to evaluate their purchases before any penalties are applied. I returned a very expensive MSI gaming laptop without ever opening the box for fear it wouldn't stack up to my expectations and I would get stuck losing over $500 in shipping and restocking fees.

Love this app. Very easy to use
22 February 2013
Snipping Tool, XPS export or printing to a local printer would be a nice feature to have.
27 February 2013
I had a problem trying to delete an item from the cart. There is no icot at the top right corner of the screen to perform this function. Turns out, there is an icon which looks like a pen on the top right corner of each product. This icon lets you edit your item, including removing it.
18 February 2013
I love newegg .... But I am still waiting for the app to actually open! it has yet to work, just stalls on the opening screen. I am hopeful it will work one day!
28 April 2013
Much easier to navigate than the website on my Surface RT. All the things I normally depend on, such as product pictures, feedback, similar product list are present, and logically laid out.
On my desktop, I still prefer the website, but that is mainly for the advanced/power search feature that would be hard to translate to a touch centric app.
24 April 2013
For a windows 8 app to be worth installing it has to be a better experience or offer something that you cannot get in the browser. This app does not allow Paypal payment (the primary reason I shop at Newegg over Amazon). Discovery is not bad for an app but still not as good as a browser. So why would I use this app when I can use a full fledged browser on the same system?
2 March 2013
Newegg really did a fantastic job on this app. It is much easier to browse and purchase parts with the app than it is through their website. If you do any shopping on Newegg, get this app!
27 February 2013
Cannot set country or add an international shipping/billing address. App is essentially useless for non-American customers until a new version is added to the store.
23 February 2013
I would give this app 5 eggs if I could. Stellar job on both this and the Windows Phone app.
10 November 2012
This apps is extremely well done. I use it all the time (probably more than I should) and it is very easy to sort and find things (easier and faster than the website). To the previous reviewer who said you can't filter/find, on any screen showing a list of products, Rt. Click and Sort and Filter are right there. Search is available from the right hand pane just like all other Win8 apps. The tiles are very easy to read and the app is still pretty smooth on my cheap Toshiba laptop on Atom.
18 May 2014
One of the best online retailers. incredibly fast shipping; even if you choose regular shipping. About the app... It's good. I would like an interface update but that's just because I use it so often.
12 December 2013
Work great and I have gotten some very good deals.
29 March 2013
Don't bother downloading this simplistic app, it is horrible compared to newegg's web site. A bookmark in the browser and you won't be cluttering up your desktop with apps that really should be bookmarks....
13 March 2013
Fantastic app overall, however missing several key options that are essential to the Newegg experience. There does not appear to be any way to sign into ShopRunner for you shipping, or Bill Me Later as a payment option, nor does it appear you can use Visa's V.me service when making purchases using the app. Other than these, the app is fantastic, and I highly recommend it's usage. Once they get these missing features integrated into the app, this will be one of the best shopping apps around.
11 February 2013
Runs amazingly. A lot of features I didn't expect. Like product tracking. Now all you need to do is implement a system spec uploader so we can find direct upgrades. That would be amazing.,
31 January 2013
Anyone who uses newegg will love this app!
11 December 2012
While the interface is slick, it is lacking some key functionality to be able to find products. For example, what do I do if I'm looking for an SSD that's larger than 128GB under $200? On newegg.com, I have filters that can accomplish this to filter the search results, but there seems to be no way to filter this in the app. I just go to 'internal HD' and get thousands of results. How am I supposed to find what I'm looking for this way? Please add the ability to filter search results & sub-cats!
29 October 2012
Again, no Canadian newegg support.
1 August 2012
Perhaps not as comprehensive as the website, but works great.
30 October 2014
One of the best storefront apps I have come across on any device.
21 December 2013
Will give it five stars when I can edit my profile in app, otherwise it is a great app!
18 April 2013
I love this website. I love this app. Frequent updates with meaningful features added each time. Love it!
