Like to shop off tv?  Have an iPhone?  Then you need these apps.  Here’s a brief comparison and highlights for both HSN’s and QVS’s iPhone apps now available at the App Store for (of course) no charge.

HSN is the clear winner of these two apps, but that doesn’t mean that if you are a fan of QVC that their app is useless.  It’s just nowhere near as cool.

Why is the HSN app so much cooler than QVCs’?  In addition to the basics that they both cover (search, see item currently on tv, see featured items) HSN offers a fun slot-machine-like experience where you get ten chances a day at winning a money-off coupon.  It also offers a link to watch HSN live on your iPhone.  And, what I was really looking for – a link to their clearance items.

And let me know of you agree.  I don’t shop on my tv (okay, I do have two sets of huggable hangers from many years ago purchased on tv, I admit it!) so I’m not the target market for these apps – however, I do love that they are both trying to move into the mobile space.

Everyone on the bus, I say!
