Honest feedback?
Firstly well done for building and shipping it. I know it takes a lot of effort.
Secondly I tried this the last time you posted, and I've just tried it again.
I asked a really specific question: "I want a pair of black wingtip shoes I can wear with an office suit that cost less than £120 and are available to buy from the UK". You've offered me FootAsylum (that's a sneaker store, no wingtips) and Robert Wayne - who return 0 results when I search for 'wingtip'.
If you compare that with Google - I can use that query, or just type 'black wingtips' and I can click 'shopping' or 'images' and see a whole lot of products and prices that match my query.
Additionally, if I click your "Give me three gift ideas..." question, you don't answer it in a way I'd expect if I asked a friend. You give me three shops and pretty much say "go look". If I was chatting to a friend, she might say "a bouquet might cost you X, I'd get roses from Y, I have a yoga mat from Z, they're really good, and what about this or that." It's far more specific - all you're really doing is suggesting places to shop.
Shopping is very visual and you're pushing words instead of images / product suggestions. If I ask for a 'less than £50 gift idea for my brother who likes guitars', I want to see 10 pictures with prices of things I could choose.
Finally, the cashback push (I appreciate it's your app) seems like a pretty hard sell - it makes the suggestions feel like an excuse to onboard for cashback (which I appreciate they are!) - maybe tone this down; perhaps put an ad beneath the box, rather than ending every conversation with the push for your app?
Anyway, good luck with it, hope some of that helps!
