It is hard to believe, but have been working on ShopSavvy for three years. Back in July of 2008 ShopSavvy won Google’s Android Developer Challenge and the rest has been history. Today our users on Android and iOS will be happy to learn that ShopSavvy 4.5 is available for download (Android) (iOS).

iOS users in Florida have been un-knowingly beta-testing our latest feature: ShopSavvy Wallet (skip the website to buy from within the phone). In essence we have created a secure wallet inside of ShopSavvy that allows a user to store his or her credit card and ship to information inside of their phone. When the user finds a great deal they simply ‘slide to pay’ and ShopSavvy does the rest. This new feature attempts to remove as much inertia from the buying process as possible. Here is a short video demonstrating the feature:

We will be officially launching this new feature in a week or two (if all goes well). The 4.5 update also fixes a number of bugs and improves performance of the app during scanning, product display and list filtering.
