There are so many apps out there
for all the mobile devices and it is hard to know which one to use. Each new
app needs to be innovative and can often be a competitor for one that already
exists. As businesses keep introducing new technology and apps to increase
their presence, they can sometimes launch a media craze or they can they can
sometimes fail.
The
new technology that I want to introduce is called Flow by Amazon. You can
download the app on any smart phone and it uses your phone’s camera to capture
images and barcodes. It allows users to add products to their Amazon shopping
list by taking a picture with their phone and creates a shopping list for all
items that it identifies. You can
also scan URL’s, phone numbers, and business cards and add it to your contacts
immediately. Flow also allows you
to scan a product and quickly read the reviews that are listed in Amazon for
that product.
With
the holiday season upon is this app can be very easy for users to create
shopping lists and either order from Amazon without going to the stores, or
have an idea of want they want to buy. This app can be very beneficial for
Amazon because people can get their shopping out of the way quickly and easily.
This can create a more competitive approach to shopping for people to choose
Amazon instead of the malls and stay in the comfort of their own homes
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI found your post very interesting. I agree with the holiday season right around the corner this app is perfect and something I intend on using. I found it so interesting that you are able to capture pictures with your phone and create a shopping list in addition to read reviews on that item as well. I will definitely use this app.
Carroll,
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome information. I work for AT&T and I know with the launch of the Amazon Fire phone some of those apps are integrated into the phone. I actually was not aware that there is an app that can help other users utilize those services! I learn something new every day! thanks!
