Find your way to a product pick with ease using the Pickr Helpr, a new tool we’re testing that looks for a gadget we’ve reviewed ordered between good, better, and best, and shows you a review.
Did you know that Pickr published hundreds of reviews? A lot of gear is being checked out, analysed, detailed, and used, and while it all adds to the big expertise machine that is Pickr, it’s not easy to find gear in a specific category.
That’s why we created the Helpr.
How do you pick technology with ease? While you could always browse through our assortment of reviews and scroll through the seemingly endless supply of news, we’re trying something else: good, better, best.
Simply put, pick the product category below, and then if you need to, pick price options. We’ll show you an assortment of products with reviews ranked as good, better, and best. It’s that easy.
Select a category and/or price range, then click "Find Reviews" to see Good, Better, and Best recommendations.
A tool made to help you sort through reviews quickly and easily, Pickr’s “Helpr” lets you quickly break down a topic or category into three products measured as good, better, and best.
The idea originated with one of Pickr’s first functions and articles: how you pick a phone.
To help with the picking process, reviewers have typically suggested selecting three devices and comparing on features. Technology journalists aren’t supposed to tell you what to buy, but they can arm you with the information and make life easier.
That’s what the Pickr Helpr aims to do, selecting three devices in specific categories and breaking down the choices from good to better to best. Think of it as a group test made easy.
Each product has been reviewed and includes a link to the full write up, so you can explore the product more deeply. And because Pickr has no ads of any kind, you can rest assured that every review is unbiased and focused on simply explaining what’s good and what’s bad.A tool made to help you sort through reviews quickly and easily, Pickr’s “Helpr” lets you quickly break down a topic or category into three products measured as good, better, and best.

Pickr’s Helpr tool is updated as and when reviews are added to the system, because the data comes from reviews data. Simply put, as and when we add a new review, the Pickr Helpr is updated.
The filters it uses are added and tweaked over time, but all data comes from reviews, making it updated weekly, based on whatever we happen to be reviewing at the time.
Yes, you can change the filter on the Pickr Helpr based on how much you want to spend, using either a minimum or maximum amount.
Pickr’s Helpr is designed to assist in the research process, and skipping the money filters in the site will show you the good, better, best without an impact on price. But if you want to change the pricing to match your budget, you can do so by entering a minimum or maximum amount, and we’ll surface our good, better, and best picks based on gadgets we’ve reviewed.
It can be, but that’s not how the Pickr Helpr works. We’re not using feature amount by itself or even pricing to determine good, better, or best. Instead, we’re using a combination of overall rating and price to work out where things go, ordering them based on parts of our reviews.
The Helpr is based on Pickr’s review data, something that continually grows and sees over a hundred products each and every year. The gadget you find in the best positions might not have all the features, but they’re the picks we’d go with based on qualitative data from the Pickr reviewers and its detailed methodology.
In-line with our advertising policy of running no ads of any kind or any form of affiliate marketing on the site, nothing in the Pickr Helpr is paid for. Any data surfaced as part of the system comes from our reviews, which are bound by both editorial policy and advertising policy.
In short, you can trust gadgets found on the Pickr Helpr because they’ve been reviewed by Pickr’s reviews team. This tool doesn’t include gadgets that haven’t been reviewed, and only works from scored and reviewed gadgets and gear.
Pickr. Helpr. If you’ve noticed the omission of an e or two, it’s a stylistic thing. We have no real issue with the letter “e” (even if it knows what it did). We’ve even used it a few times in this list of Frequently Asked Questions. But given we’ve lost the e in “Pickr”, it only makes sense to lose it on “Helpr” as well.
Plus you don’t need it. You can find any number of perfectly spelled words on this website. A missing e or two isn’t going to harm you. Your brain will fill in the gaps anyway.
