Amazon.com Releases Android Shopping App That Makes Shopping Easy

Browse to the millions of products available from Amazon.com and thousands other merchants! Shop wherever you are – from the palm of your hand!

Last year, Amazon.com launched an iPhone App. It was followed by Blackberry App which was announced months ago. Both are intended to make online shopping easy and hassle-free. Now, here’s another mobile shopping application designed for Google’s Android platform. Amazon App for Android, which is now available as a free download to a consumer’s device in Android Market, offers consumers a fast and convenient way to shop on Amazon.com and from thousands of other merchants – wherever they go.
The application includes the experimental Amazon Remembers feature, which enables shoppers to either snap a photo of an item or scan a barcode to receive a product match. Once you found the product you are looking for, you can purchase it using Amazon’s 1-Click ordering and Amazon Prime. Other features include tracking packages or modifying orders using the Your Account function, receiving personalized recommendations, getting the Gold Box Deal of the Day, viewing editorial and customer reviews, and Wish List access.

The software though, compared to the well-known Android rival app ShopSavvy, lacks some features. The ShopSavvy uses your phone’s GPS to check if local retailers have the product you are looking for and pull up price comparisons from more than one online store.

If you’re a long-term Amazon customer, this new Amazon App is a great tool for you.
