By using the Amazon Mobile app, you can use Amazon’s shopping portal on both an iPhone and iPad. You can search the item that you want and if you don’t really know what you are looking for, there are departments that are displayed with products categorized under them. You can also set the app to remember the products that you are interested in.
When you go to the screen where a product is displayed, the ‘buy now’, ‘add to the basket’, and ‘add to the wish list’ options are shown to you. You can add your delivery address (which is saved) when you install the app so that all the items are delivered to that particular address.
