Peapod Launches iPhone App for Easy Grocery Shopping

Peapod has announced the availability of PeapodMobile, a mobile application which allows customers to buy their groceries conveniently from their iOS device.

The application is free to download for all iOS devices, as well as for Android, and Palm Pre users, and offers Peapod’s most convenient shopping features, along with a few new ones, the company said.

These key benefits include the ability to type in search words or enter a UPC to find exactly what you need, save money with the thousands of items on sale each week (weekly specials), the ability to shop from the items you've bought before via My Lists and Previous Purchases, and a My Specials category, which allows users to choose from a list of their past purchases on sale that week.

An additional feature is Guess My Order, described by Peapod as a rapid way to shop by adding the items you frequently buy with a single touch.

"Our customers are active consumers with busy lifestyles who look for ways to save time. Imagine grocery shopping while riding the subway to work, or adding milk to your grocery list from the soccer field," said Thomas Parkinson, Chief Technology Officer for Peapod.

"In a recent Peapod survey we learned that more than 63 percent of respondents sometimes or frequently forget to buy something they really need while grocery shopping.”

“With PeapodMobile customers can minimize that risk by adding items to their cart whenever and wherever they think of them," Parkinson added.

"Our customers can start an order, modify an order, finish and place an order --- they can do it all on PeapodMobile. And, one touch lets them review the nutrition facts & ingredient list for the products we carry so they can make the healthiest choices," Parkinson concluded.
