Full description

Buying something used? beforeUBuy tells you what to check before you commit. Point your camera at a used car, phone, laptop, or appliance, and beforeUBuy identifies the exact make and model, then instantly shows you the issues other buyers have run into with that same product. HOW IT WORKS Take a photo of the product you're considering. beforeUBuy identifies it and checks our growing database of known issues. You get a clear checklist of what to inspect before you hand over your money. WHY IT MATTERS A few minutes of checking can save you thousands of rand. Whether it's a common engine fault, a battery issue, or a recalled part, beforeUBuy puts the knowledge other buyers have already learned right in your pocket, before you need it. WORKS ACROSS CATEGORIES Cars and vehicles. Smartphones and tablets. Laptops and computers. Home appliances. FREE TO START Get 3 free scans every month. Upgrade to beforeUBuy Pro for unlimited scans whenever you're in serious shopping mode. beforeUBuy doesn't replace a proper professional inspection for big purchases, but it gives you a real head start on knowing what to ask, what to check, and what to walk away from before buying a used car, phone, laptop, or appliance. Know before you buy

What's new

• Invite friends: share your code or link. When a friend joins and scans, you both get bonus scans. • Share a PDF inspection report with your photos, notes and problems found, to send to a friend, mechanic or seller. • Barcode scanning: type the number if the camera can't read it. • More vehicle checks and notes and photos on every check (added last update). • Small fixes.
