Peapod Expands App Offering With New App for iPad
SKOKIE, Ill., Jan. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Peapod, the leading online grocer, announced it is now offering its popular app for the iPad. Building on the success of PeapodMobile, which allows customers to create and manage shopping lists and place grocery orders from their smartphones, Peapod developed an iPad app to give tablet users a more convenient way to grocery shop.
The FREE iPad app includes the following features:
-- Search - type in search words or enter a UPC to find exactly what you
need.
-- Weekly Specials - save money with the thousands of items on sale each
week.
-- My Lists and Previous Purchases - easily shop from the items you've
bought before.
-- My Specials - choose from a list of your past purchases on sale this
week.
-- Guess My Order - a speedy way to shop that adds the items you frequently
buy with a single touch.
-- Optimized Views - the ability to view items in a list or grid format
(exclusive to iPad).
"We are excited to expand our technology to the tablet platform," said Thomas Parkinson, Chief Technology Officer for Peapod. "Our customers are tech-savvy and demand smart, engaging and well-made solutions to simplify their lives. We think the Peapod iPad app will satisfy that need."
Smartphone Updates
In addition to the new iPad app, Peapod also announces several updates for smartphone users of PeapodMobile:
