Love shopping online? Since its difficult to find time to look at all the stuff available on the web, some of us tend to browse online stores on the mobile, especially during that long commute to work.

Often, the pages don't load properly, and if one uses an app, one needs to either save one's payment details on the phone (but what if the phone gets stolen?) or choose the item and note it down, and then log on from the desktop to buy it.

Thankfully, the new shopping app from HomeShop18 lets one add items to one's shopping cart and synchronise it, so we can buy it at ease on the desktop. Also, the specialised app (reviewed on the iPhone), makes shopping hassle-free, as the display and the navigation are optimised for the phone's smaller screen.

Track your order
The app also offers a plethora of payment options, including internet banking and cash on delivery, and in case you don't want to enter your banking details on the phone, you can make the payment from your more secure desktop. One can also track one's order with the app.

The app also offers live streaming of the portal's shopping channel and if you're a shopaholic, this will definitely help you while away your time, again on your commute to and from work.

If you love shopping - especially for clothes - this app is for you, but be prepared to pay for all the data you access.
