Mobile Apptitude

A handy app for those of you who shop on Amazon. It’s pretty straightforward, providing an experience similar to what you’re used to online, though with a substantially simplified interface designed for the smaller screen of your Android phone. The home page has a great big search box to find what you’re looking for; and once you’re signed in with your existing account, all your payment and delivery information is there per usual. Makes ordering a breeze.

A nifty addition: you can search for products using barcodes or photographs. The photograph function feels a tad gimmicky, though it does work. Take a photo of something using your phone and the image is submitted to Amazon; in a few minutes, you’ll get an email back with whatever match to the photo is found.

The barcode reader works like a charm – simply scan the barcode on a product and if Amazon sells it, it’ll pop-up nearly immediately, ready to be ordered.  Happy shopping!
