Native app for Amazon.com is a must-have for any shopping trip

by Jeff Whitfield, Macworld.com

Standing in the middle of a well-stocked book store may seem like the moment you would least need access to Amazon.com. But I can’t count how many times I’ve been in a store, picked up a book and wondered how much it costs on the online retail site. There’s also the matter of reviews—a quick glance at the write-ups on Amazon.com can give you more info on whether the book you might buy is as good as a read as it promises to be.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Best Retail App

You can have the power of Amazon.com at your fingertip with their awesome app. I won't try and sell you on Amazon.com, but know that you are not getting a watered down version of the site. I was quite surprised at how quick and how expansive the app really was. Of course you can use your existing Amazon.com account to order items from the site, but this is also a fantastic reference for pricing, availability and any detail you might want to know about a product. Even if you never plan to use the app for an order, it's a great reference tool.

An retail app that is worth getting

The Amazon app is actually worth picking up. If only for the remembers function. You snap a shot of the object you like and Amazon will find it for you. This has been a great feature several times. It is as functional as the website. Great app, much better than most of the other retailers.
