Amazon's Mobile Apps

Amazon, To Go

There’s a saying that almost everyone has become familiar with: “There’s and app for that.” Amazon is taking mobile devices by storm with its host of Amazon mobile apps. With apps available on all IOS and Android devices, it has created the potential to reach millions of customers, and all that’s required is a free download.

The app allows its users to do everything that its online website does, except it is all in the palm of your hands. The app allows its users to search for products they may wish to buy, track shipping information and review products. Amazon recognizes the importance of its mobile app and is always releasing updates to improve the stability and speed at which the app can be used.

On the Android platform Amazon has even more apps available to its users. The most successful of which is Kindle for Android, which allows the user to essentially turn their phone into a Kindle device. With close to 900000 books available, the app offers a Kindle like experience without the consumer actually having to purchase a Kindle. This app, however, does not offer all of the features the Kindle does but still remains among the top most downloaded apps on the Android app store.

With Amazon broadening its scope to mobile devices it has never been easier to access all of your favourite Amazon content that you have grown to love. This means that you may never use your computer for your Amazon needs, and even I have become a regular user of its free mobile app.
