Flipkart is an India based e-commerce website with an annual revenue generation of US$200 million (Rs.1180 Crores). Launched in 2008, the enterprise has rapidly grown from a "only book selling website" to "website that sells everything" in short it has quickly become India's Amazon.
In its continuous efforts to grow and be ahead of the competition, the company has launched many apps which give easy access to the its products. The latest addition to this list has been the long awaited windows app. Apps for iOS and Android were launched way back but windows app was put on hold for some weird reason. The wait for the app has been worth it as flipkart has come up with a super smooth, clutter free and visually appealing app.
Today we review the app on a Windows 8.1 - Lumia 720.
To start off, the app was officially launched on 8-April and since then it has topped the "top free" apps list on windows store. As is the case with most of the windows apps, size of app is 2 MB (we just love it!) and its available as a free download.
The app starts with a neat Home screen on top of which is the universal search button, to directly search for specific products. Home screen is divided into departments such as electronic & appliances, fashion & accessories etc. All the major selling product categories have been smartly added on to the home screen. The options button shows different options for accessing the app. These options are carried on to every page and gives access to "shop by" and "cart", irrespective of the page you are in. The shop by option gives you the complete list akin to the full websiteA swipe towards right takes you to the offer section, wherein all the offers are listed (Flipkart is offering Rs. 150/- off on all the products ordered using the mobile app). Further swiping takes you to the "recently viewed" and "hot on flipkart" sections. As the name suggests the recently viewed section saves all your previous searched items and hot on flipkart shows all the exclusive offers.
Access to all the departments is smooth and without delay. You can choose the products you want and apply the required filters if needed. Once the product is selected, its ratings, reviews can be viewed easily and it can be ordered instantly. As in the website, the checkout option has 3 steps: Login where we can log in with our account details, delivery wherein we provide the address and then payment gateway completes the process.
Overall the app is worth the wait and works like a charm. You wouldn't feel like going to the website once this app catches your attention. Kudos to the developers
