He points out that in the period of one year (November 2011 ““ November 2012), the number of people who visit bidorbuy via a cell phone, smartphone or a tablet has more than doubled, confirming that South Africans are quickly adapting to the mobile world.
The Android app in addition to the iPhone app and bidorbuy mobi site provides users with a fully optimised mobile shopping experience. While users can browse and search through more than one million items, without an account in order to place a bid or make a purchase, users do need to log in.
“œThe way people shop is changing rapidly“, says Jaco Jonker. “œConsumers have embraced mobile shopping because it is easier for them to compare prices and to buy, wherever they happen to be. That is why we have made the development of our mobile offerings a high priority.“
Jonker adds, “œThe bidorbuy mobile offering opens up the site to people who may not have a computer with internet connection, but have an internet-enabled mobile device. We are confident that our latest mobile release will be especially well received now, with holiday shopping in full swing“.
The app is now available for download from Google Play.
