(NASDAQ:OSTK) announced today that its mobile app has been named the Web Marketing Association’s Best Shopping Mobile Application for the 2015 Mobile Web Awards. This marks the fourth consecutive year in which an Overstock.com mobile app has been honored by the group.

The award is one more in a string of recent mobile app successes for Overstock.com. The online retailer recently surpassed the 5 million app download milestone, with 76 percent of its mobile app shoppers as repeat customers. The app was also featured as one of the best-rated retail mobile apps available in a study by ARC from Applause, and the retailer’s Android app has been named as an Editor’s Choice in the Google Play Store.

“We are committed to delivering an exceptional shopping experience to every one of our customers, including the millions who have downloaded our mobile shopping apps,” said Overstock.com President Stormy Simon. “Trends have changed, and as we see more and more customers choosing to shop on mobile devices, it is rewarding to have Overstock.com acknowledged as a leader in mobile commerce.”

Mobile Web Award candidates are judged on: creativity, design, interactivity, use of the medium, impact, content, and ease of use. Apps that receive the highest average score from the judges within a given industry category are named winners.

The free Overstock.com Apple iOS and Android mobile apps focus on providing the user with useful and engaging features, such as personalized push notifications for upcoming sales and deals. The iOS app adds the fun to functionality in the form of the “Lott-O” feature, an in-app “scratch card” that, when uncovered, can award lucky users a unique coupon discount for use on the website.
