Target Releases Android App
Ah, Target, you provide a near-WalMart-like selection at reasonable prices without the social stigma of PeopleOfWalmart.com. And now you are giving us an Android app? That’s just too kind. The new Target app for Android provides users with the ability to look up items and check stock at their local stores, then get directions right down to the aisle to retrieve your goods. You can also view your weekly ad for deals at the store and get the low down on clearance items. For now a third area of the app covers college essentials for this back to school time of year.
The app also includes a barcode scanner for looking up the price of an item, though it does not feature the same sort of price comparison functionality of other barcode apps. Fair enough, this one stays pretty focused on Target. It might not have the most uses in the world, but if you frequently find yourself shopping among their aisles of red, it might be worth checking out. Snap the QR below.
