More and more retailers are looking for new ways to showcase their offerings and deals to consumers, earlier this year TorStar launched a new location-based app called ShopCatch. A of launch time, the service was limited to a limited number of vendors but this week they announced that ShopCatch now extends coast to coast across Canada.   Now they offer over  100 deals each week from over 150 retailers all by tapping into the Apple iPhone’s GPS capabilities.

The app is still only available for the iPhone, perhaps this will change and we’ll see an Android version in the new year.
