SEATTLE, Feb. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Amazon.ca announced today the launch of the Amazon Mobile App for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone. The Amazon Mobile App allows customers to browse and shop for products, compare prices, read reviews and make purchases quickly and easily from wherever they are.  Amazon customers have the option to choose between an English or French-language shopping experience, a feature introduced specifically for Amazon.ca customers.

"We are excited to further enhance the customer shopping experience in Canada," said Sam Hall, vice president of Mobile Shopping for Amazon. "Customers in Canada can now use the Amazon Mobile App to conveniently shop, browse and buy from anywhere, all while accessing popular features such as Prime, 1-Click ordering, customer reviews and more, right from their mobile devices."

To make on-the-go shopping a seamless experience, customers can sign up for a new account using the Amazon Mobile App or they can use their existing Amazon.ca username and password to access the same account they view on the Web. Customers using the Amazon Mobile App can access many of the same features as on the Web, including their cart, Wish Lists, payments, 1-Click settings, Prime membership and more, and can shop the full selection of products available on Amazon.ca, including electronics, baby, kitchen, books, movies, music, watches, sporting goods, tools and more.

With the simple click of a button on their mobile devices, customers can have millions of products delivered to their door while benefitting from Free Super Saver Shipping on orders of eligible products over $25 or by taking advantage of Free Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime.
