Might be late to the party replying, but I really like the concept. Just tried it out.
The nitpicks: First panel of Apple App Store listing; would it be better if it said "Help friend[s]" or "Help [a] friend" instead of just "Help friend"?
The app appears to "Follow" you to certain users by default other than the "Chums" account; it's not immediately obvious that this is because of tags you've followed. Perhaps an extra tab called "Friends" or simply adding a message to the "is following chums" to say "and 9 tags" or something could help.
The issues:
There doesn't appear to be a list of supported online shops. Error messages in posts appear to be cryptic ("Oh chum! something went wrong" or something) and non-blocking; actions will silently fail.
For example, if a URL is accidentally pasted into the post body, the error banner appears, then disappears with no more indication. Probably too long or illegal characters.
If an AliExpress URL is inserted as the product, an error message is shown but the post is submitted as usual, without the product. I assume that's not supported, but it seemed like a popular store online.
Searching for products appears to be only suited to items differentiated by only appearance as no price or other information is available or can be sorted by.
Other than that, it looks nice and could be quite useful!
