Downloaded onto nearly 1 million tablet computers, Catalogue by TheFind has quickly become the most popular catalog-shopping app with more than 150 catalog titles, look books, and weekly circulars from over 75 of the most popular retailers. The only catalog-shopping app on the Kindle Fire, Catalogue by TheFind, has quickly amassed more than 150,000 Android users. In version 2.0 of the free app on the Kindle Fire, Android tablets and large screen Android phones, shoppers can now see the local availability of the products they are shopping for and want to purchase immediately.

Catalogue by TheFind seamlessly connects the lifestyle images in print catalogs from the couch to both the retailer’s physical front door and online checkout. Launched today, version 2.0 for Kindle Fire adds the ability to easily check an item’s availability – in real-time – at local stores . Access to inventory is initially available for Best Buy, Crate & Barrel and Williams-Sonoma, and will continue to roll out to additional stores in the coming weeks.

"Across all our platforms and nearly one million installs, our average user spends 14 minutes in the app during each session and looks at 5-6 different catalogs,” said Ramneek Bhasin, VP & GM of Mobile at TheFind. "In comparison to website shopping metrics, these are incredible numbers that are consistent across the industry. Clearly, the tablet is a new and more immersive type of shopping experience, one that lends itself well what print catalogs do best: help you discover new things you want to buy. The difference is that on a tablet, there are simply more tools to help you get it sooner, and more effortlessly.”
