bidorbuy.co.za launched its app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch today that lets users shop on “Africa’s largest online marketplace” from their mobile devices.

The app allows users to browse through various categories or conduct a search, take part in an online auction or buy items at a fixed price. Once the items have been selected, they can be added to a watchlist or cart and the user can then proceed to the checkout.

Jaco Jonker, bidorbuy CEO, stated that “The launch of the bidorbuy iPhone app is part of our larger mobile strategy which will encompass native apps for all the other major players including Android, Windows Mobile and Blackberry. The bidorbuy Mobile offering also includes a rich-content mobile site geared towards smartphone users, in addition to the basic, no-frills mobi site, which is suitable for lower-end internet enabled handsets. The bidorbuy App and mobi sites give buyers a full shopping experience, from browsing for items, placing bids and buying items through to completing checkout, all from their mobile device.”

The free app is available to download from the iTunes store and is compatible with iPhones, iPod touches and iPads running iOS 3.0 and higher.
