Just because you are away from your computer, it need not mean that you are not able to indulge in a little online shopping. The Amazon Mobile UK app for iPhone provides access to all of the essential features of the main site, including product searching, your wish list, and recommendation based on previous purchases. The fact that this is a cut down application does not mean accessing a cut down version of Amazon – the full product range is available wherever you are.

The Amazon Remember feature makes it possible to build up a list of potential purchases when out and about so you can look them up at a later date. If Amazon is able to locate a particular product by comparing the photo, the site will send out an email with a direct link to the product in question. The application is an excellent way of comparing prices when out shopping, and should you find that Amazon is cheaper than the shop you are looking in, you can place an order there and then.

As you would expect, the mobile app can also be used to track existing orders as well as reading reviews that other customers have left about particular products and building up a wish list.
