Amazon Mobile

Description

What’s New in 1.9.2
* Compatible with Windows Phone 8

Search & buy millions of products right from your Windows Phone device.
The Amazon Mobile App allows Windows Phone users to quickly search, compare prices, read reviews, share products with friends and make purchases on Amazon using a simple, yet elegant, interface. To make on-the-go shopping and price comparison even easier, the Amazon Mobile App includes helpful shopping features that allow users to scan a barcode or type a search to quickly compare prices and check availability. Users may also save time by pinning the Amazon barcode scan tile to their Start screen, enabling them to simply tap the tile to take them straight to the barcode scanner.

Shoppers are able to access Amazon's United Kingdom, US, Germany, Japan, and China sites from a single app by simply selecting their desired Amazon country store. Amazon customers have full access to their existing shopping basket, wish lists, payment and Amazon Prime member shipping options, order history, and 1-Click settings. All purchases made on Amazon Mobile are routed through Amazon's secure servers just as they are on the web.

Important note regarding permissions. Amazon Mobile requires access to the following services to operate properly:

Phone identity: Within the app you are able to place a call to Amazon Customer Service. From the home screen, tap More -> Contact Us -> Call Customer Service, and we will place the proper number in the phone app and dial it.

Camera: Bar code scanning requires access to the camera function.

Location: due to the fact that this is now a world wide app, location permissions are required to support a delivery service feature offered by Amazon in Japan. Only in those stores is the location data required or used. In those locations you are able to request delivery to a convenience store closest to your current location. That service is not available in other Amazon countries.
