The highlight of the updates would have to be one-tap purchasing for consumer shopping for products online from Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers. Essentially, users can scan the barcode an item while in the store and see if a better deal is online.
If so, then the user can now purchase the product from his or her smartphone immediately without leaving the app. (Of course, users have to enter payment info at least once when they first start using the app.)
Here's an overview of where else ShopSavvy is going from here:
ShopSavvy has been gaining a lot of attention lately -- especially after raising $7 million in a round of Series A funding led by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, who has joined the ShopSavvy's board of directors.
ShopSavvy 5 is now available to download for free in Apple’s App Store and the Android Market.
