FELLOWS LAUNCHES NEW ANDROID APP

After the success of Fellows Catalogue App for the Apple iPad, due to popular demand the Birmingham based auctioneers have now developed an Android version. Available on tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Xoom and HTC phones, this will allow even more customers to take the Fellows catalogue with them wherever they go without the heavy paperwork.

Like the iPad App, this new Android App will allow customers to view printed auction catalogues online through their Android device and click through to leave bids on items in the auctions. What is more, this application makes the catalogues available as soon as they are prepared and it will alert you when a new one is ready for download, so there is no need to wait for it to arrive in the post.

Using a simple ‘swipe’ gesture to turn the pages, the catalogues can be viewed whilst holding the Android device in portrait or landscape mode.

Once a catalogue has been downloaded it will appear on the Fellows bookshelf in the app and it will stay there until you choose to delete it.

Stephen Whittaker, Managing Director at Fellows said: “With the emergence of the new Android tablets and the number of Android devices being used by our customers, the success of our Apple iPad App meant that an Android App was the next logical step.

The app can also be shared with friends and family through Twitter, Facebook or by email and the app is available to download for free today.
