With the holiday season almost here, it can be a major chore trying to get all your shopping done.  If you are also like me, you also like to check prices online before making a purchase in a retail store.  If you do, then the new Amazon app for the iPhone will help you right along.  I enjoy shopping at Amazon, and being able to do that with one-click on my iPhone is an even better experience.

The app is fairly simple and easy to use, with the most common features (search, cart, etc.) easily clickable wherever you are at.  Search results provide a clear and informative result of the item you are looking at.  The detailed item view gives you all the features you will find on the website such as ratings, reviewing, images, along with the ability to purchase and save to a wish list.

Speaking of wish lists, this has been the most handy feature of all, as I have placed the Christmas lists of several people on Amazon, so they are now nearly viewable in an instant.  A feature exclusive to the app is the ‘Amazon Remembers’ feature.  If you are out somewhere, and see something you want, just snap a pic with your phone, send it to Amazon via the app, and it will give you reminders along with products which might match what you are looking for.

Overall, this is a fantastic app, and the best part is it’s free!  Download the Amazon app from iTunes.
