Wish is the top shopping app you’ve never heard of with smartwatches for £7, jumpers for a fiver and some items FREE … but is it too good to be true?

WHEN it comes to updating our wardrobes, everybody loves a bargain buy. But what if we said you could buy a chunky autumnal knit for just £5?

Or bag yourself some things for FREE? Well, the UK's number shopping app is making fashion dreams a reality with its seriously low prices... but is it too good to be true?

Allowing customers to browse "over 100 million high-quality items" by logging in through their social media pages, works by cutting out the "middle man" and directly connecting shoppers with their manufacturers.

In other words, the super-hyped app sells everything from clothing to electronics for up to 90 per cent off - and sometimes even for FREE.

Although shoppers still usually have to still pay for the cost of shipping (but returns are still free), the ridiculously low prices has made this app the UK's number one shopping destination on the App Store.

Not to mention the 300 million users Wish has accumulated worldwide.

Putting our curiosities to the test, American YouTuber Safiya Nygaard (of Balenciaga Crocs fame) was among the first to give Wish a try.

In which has been viewed over 10 million times, the Los Angeles-based influencer ordered the first five free items she came across on the website.. and the results were about as varied as you'd expect.

After discovering that the prices fluctuate depending on the sizes, Safiya firstly had to wait over four weeks before her "free" items arrived.

And judging by how different some of the products looked to their original photos, the YouTuber joked: "Maybe it's called Wish because you 'wish' it was a little different..."

Along with a surprisingly nice lace bandeau bra (which was "not the bandeau that [Safiya] wanted, it's the bandeau that [she] got"), the YouTuber also bagged herself a free, off-shoulder slogan T-shirt... albeit one that was a size too small.

In what can be the Russian Roulette of shopping, Wish products do not have to undergo as much quality control as other retailers as they are sent directly from the manufacturer.

This means the product that arrives doesn't always match the image advertised online.

What's more, it is unclear how the sellers verify their discounts and prices fluctuate depending on what size or colour product you choose to purchase.

So that £1 make-up brush set you're eyeing up? It could end up costing up double... although there's no denying it's still an absolute bargain.

In even more fashion news, here's where you can get a copy of Meghan Markle's royal blue designer coat... for £640 less.

And what are the Golden Goose's £420 "taped up" trainers accused of glorifying poverty and being "extremely distasteful".

Plus Topshop is selling a see-through bag for £20 - and shoppers joke it'll flash your "tampons and junk".
