Mobile shopping app available for iPhone, Android

7 May 2013

The online retailer, Takealot.com, has launched its iPhone and Android shopping apps, adding to the Blackberry 10 app launched earlier this year. The apps aim to deliver an enhanced experience for customers, allowing them instant access to the world of retail via their mobile device, regardless of time or location.

"We're not joking when we say it's a mall in your pocket. The apps are designed to allow the user to access the world of online shopping without ever having to use a laptop or desktop computer," says Kim Reid, CEO.

Customers can start shopping instantaneously, registering, browsing, searching and buying with ease using the unique touch-optimised capabilities of iPhone, Android and Blackberry 10 smartphones. A nifty feature is the inclusion of a barcode scanner allowing anyone to window shop in bricks and mortar stores and price compare on the website.

"You can now buy anything from sports, home and kitchen, baby and toddler, pet and electronics goods to DVDs, books and games and get them delivered to your home, all from your mobile phone," says Reid.

With Africa rapidly becoming a mobile-driven continent, the new apps are set to provide the solution to satisfy the South African consumer's growing demand for a simple, safe and more convenient way to shop.

Download the app at iPhone App Store, Google Play or Blackberry World.
