overstockArt.com Launches New Version of iPhone & iPad Application
Wichita, Kansas (PRWEB) May 29, 2015 -- overstockArt.com today unveils its brand new Version 6.6.1 overstockArt.com Oil Paintings application (app) for the Apple iPhone and iPad. Users of the app can decorate their walls with its interactive “View in a Room” feature, create personal art galleries and turn their favorite photos into masterpieces. The overstockArt.com Oil Paintings app is available free to download from the iTunes App Store.
The newly designed app is an extension of the gallery’s online store. “We designed the new iPad and iPhone apps to take full advantage of the screen size and mobility of the platform so the user can get a full shopping experience on their device,” said David Sasson, CEO of overstockArt.com. “With iPad and iPhone traffic accounting for 67 percent of our mobile traffic and 82.5 percent of all mobile revenue, we were driven to improve our customer’s experience on these two devices and build apps that will allow our audience to lean back and browse, decorate and shop with ease for our art.”
The full features of the New Version 6.6.1 overstockArt.com Oil Paintings iPad & iPhone app include:
Our entire art and artists database is available and on display via the iPad & iPhone app giving customers the ability to swipe and search through thousands of titles organized by artist, subjects, styles and sizes.
Decorate on-the-go with the “View in a Room” feature. Using the built-in camera, users can take a snapshot of their space and visualize oil paintings hanging on their own wall. This tool is an adaptation of the retailer’s augmented reality web application, “In Room View.”
Create a personal gallery with the new “My Gallery” feature. Select fine art from overstockArt.com’s collection or import images to create a personal gallery.
Turn photos into hand painted art masterpieces with the retailer’s “Turn Photos into Art” service, now available to use directly on the application.
Share images and personal galleries via e-mail, Facebook or save images to your photo gallery.
