3.0 out of 5 stars The last version was better! April 2, 2011

By StevePen

The newest version does not allow you to search for an item by taking a picture - only by bar code. Most of the time that's fine, but sometimes there isn't a bar code available. Also, the earlier versions would buzz the phone when an item that you were searching for was found. This was a really useful feature because you could go on browsing through other items while Amazon was searching and bringing up the product page. How do I get back to the older version?

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome App May 8, 2011

By Andy Lohaus

This is a must have app if you frequently shop on Amazon. It runs really smooth on my evo, makes shopping on amazon a breeze. Much easier to use than a mobile web browser to view the web page on your phone. I use it frequently when I am out shopping and want to check prices and reviews. Amazon is almost always cheaper than local stores, so its an easy way to save money.

Ordering items through the app is very easy. I have completed the process several times and had no errors or order problems.

The one problem I have with this app is the bar code scanner. I can almost never get bar code scanners to work and this app is no different. I often feel like an idiot standing in a store trying to get this app to read a bar code. On the flip side, the app almost always finds the item I am looking for when I search via keyword search or texting a picture.

2.0 out of 5 stars huge disappointment May 14, 2011

I like using amazon.com but this app pales in comparison. There are no filters for searches. Yes, you can choose a department, but that is the least useful filter. Searching by price, size, discounts... along with all the other filters available on the site would make this app much better. UNINSTALLED.
