The mobile software provides users with the possibility to easily send money when needed, to manage their PayPal accounts, and do many other actions .

The application is available for free and is said to be very secure. Not to mention that it offers increased convenience when compared to going to the bank or writing checks.

The release notes for the new software flavor include:

- Updated design and enhanced experience - New widget: Request Money with NFC! - Improved support for tablets - Send Money redesign - Bug fixes - App now available in Brazil - Enhanced feature support for EU, APAC, and LATAM regions.

The new version of the mobile application is available via the Android Market here with all of the features and capabilities that have been included with it before as well.

Thus, it enables users easily send money as gifts, repay a loan, check their balance, withdraw money, or view past transactions, all available regardless their location.

Moreover, the app will also provide NFC capabilities, and will enable users to use the PayPal local feature for easily finding businesses nearby that accept PayPal as payment (the feature is available only for users living in the United States).

With the PayPal application on an Android device, users will also be able to snap a photo of their check to add money directly from the app, with no fees applying to this (another feature available only for US users). Not to mention that the app offers the required security and reliability features that any user might be looking for.
