Tesco has announced that it is launching its first ever shopping app for iPhone. The Tesco grocery app joins the family of hugely successful Tesco apps, including Clubcard and the Winefinder, which together have now reached over one million downloads.
The announcement represents a landmark moment for the supermarket, as this is the first time that Tesco has created a shopping portal that is
specifically optimised for the iPhone.
Laura Wade-Gery, CEO for tesco.com comments: “We’re always looking for ways to make life easier for customers. The iPhone app creates a fantastic new way to shop with tesco.com whenever you want, whether you’re adding last minute essentials or starting a new order.”
The app means that customers can ‘shop on the go’ for groceries via their iPhones. Once downloaded, those customers who have registered with tesco.com groceries will be able to access their home store’s product range and their ‘Favourites’ (items purchased online or from a Tesco store using a Clubcard. They can log into their grocery account and add forgotten items to their basket, or start a new order from scratch, checking out securely on the phone or later online. The updated order synchronises seamlessly from phone to computer and vice versa, perfect for adding last minute essentials.
The Tesco iPhone app is available for free and users can download it directly from the Apple iTunes Store. Tesco has been working with mobile specialists Ribot, who designed and developed the new app.
