Pros and cons of iDiamonds (Estimated Retail Diamond Price for Consumers) app for iPhone and iPad
iDiamonds (Estimated Retail Diamond Price for Consumers) app good for
This is a very handy application to price diamonds. I had a few issues contacted support and had the most rapid response ever. Very informative versatile app. Keep in mind from highest grade to lowest grade prices are MSRP high end and there is room (lots of room) to bargin. Even buying 1 diamond this app will more than pay for itself. I highly recommend this application (by mstrelec)
Highly recommended!!! Would be nice to have a feature that surf the web and finds you the diamond you are looking for!
This app is a must have if you youre thinking about buying a diamond. Last week I got a diamond ring for my fiancée in NYC. I went with this price list to my jeweler and asked him to show me a few diamonds. He overpriced all of them by a few thousands. But thanks to this software I was able to negotiate him down to a fair price. I really reccommend this to everyone. Its really easy to use too.
I work in the custom design jewelry business and think this app is great when it comes to quickly looking up prices on diamonds for customers. However, I will be even more happy with the app once the makers of the app adds more diamond cuts options. Many people want other cuts such as princess, oval, pear, etc. Im sure it will be added later. So, get the app for now, it will give you a pretty good idea of diamond prices if youre looking for a diamond for that special person!
this app saved me a lot of money. the days of getting fooled by jewlery dealers are over. this is a MUST for anyone buying a diamond. you have so much more buying power when you know how much the diamond should cost you (using the diamond MSRP calculator). i recently bought a diamond ring and using this app i was able to negociate a very significant ($6000) discount from the original price. highly recommended!
This App is a great and definitely worth the 99 cents it cost! It will save you a lot of money and time searching the internet for the fare price for the diamond you want. The educational part of it is also very useful! Highly recommended! A+++
Some bad moments
Doesnt even worse 1$! It doesnt even start up.... It only crashes! I want my money back!
Calculator doesnt work! Crashes at certain functions. I want my $1 back! What a joke.
This app is very inaccurate. Ive entered in the info for multiple diamonds from multiple jewelers into the calculator and every time the price comes up to be more than double or even triple what the jeweler had it listed for. I would like a refund, this app is useless and its not at all how it is described. I dont know where these prices are coming from, but they are all way way too high.
If you know ANYTHING about diamonds already then this app is a waste. The "education" section is remedial at best. I learned absolutely nothing new and found a LOT of information was simply missing. It was a totally superficial attempt at "educating" the diamond buyer.
The SRP calculator is all but useless. The prices are so high above what any person (especially one concerned enough about diamond prices to buy this app) would pay, as to be absurd. From what I know, Id say the prices are 80-90% too high. I guess thats to be expected. It appears to come from the Gemalogical Institute of America - the people selling you diamonds.
In sum, this is one of the most useless apps Ive ever purchased.
I read the reviews on this app. Just recently bought a diamond and wanted to test this app out. Same results as most. It overprices the diamond thus making this a pretty useless app. It over priced the diamond I bought by 50 percent. So, if your in the market for a diamond dont use this. This app will help you get ripped off.
However, if you want to put this app on your phone so you can brag to your friends about the diamond you just bought, then this is for you. It will overprice the diamond and make you look like a big spender.
This app is not accurate and not even nice to look at or easy to use. Worst of all its missing so many features that other apps in the same catagory have. I have this and then I bought DiamondPro which is way more polished and accurate (even has a favorites section to take pictures and track possible diamonds to purchase). Get DiamondPro instead.
