Say Hello to Our New iPhone App

After years of singular devotion to my BlackBerry, I finally succumbed and bought an iPhone this week. What tipped the scale? Our new iPhone app. The Gilt on the Go app gives you unlimited access to Gilt sales, no matter where you are. The functionality is flawless, the personalization is first-class, the picture quality is stunning, and the user experience surpassed even my expectations.

The key to scoring the styles you want on Gilt is entering sales right when they start. With Gilt on your phone you’ll receive real-time sales alerts, one-click access to your favorite categories, and when you find something you like, you can check out in less than a minute.

Gilt on the Go offers non-stop access when life gets in the way. Browse, navigate and enjoy our new app – no invitation necessary. The download is free, and so is the membership. I’m pretty sure you’re going to love it.

Sincerely,

Susan Lyne
CEO
Gilt Groupe

or blackberry version?

By djnick on October 9, 2009 at 03:10:13 PM

That is totally awesome! My only upset is that its only available to the U.S. and I am from Canada!

I second the blackberry version!

If you guys could turn off the music/sound for the iPhone app ... I hate that my music stops and I can't turn it back on unless I quit the app. As far as I can tell, the only sound from your app is that Gilt Groupe logo intro "bing".

The BlackBerrys need some love, too, please.

Android!

I love the new app and made my first purchase via app today! However, I wish it would include the details such as country of origin and size the model is wearing (which is a good gauge for the size I need). The more detail the better when making a purchase on the go!

another request for mobile shopping via blackberry please

By kjcar on October 14, 2009 at 02:57:38 PM

I was thrilled to get the new iPhone app! So congratulations and THANK YOU! Previously I would view sales through the iPhone browser, which worked, but this is a huge improvement. One request I do have is to allow a view, similar to the existing thumbnail view, that enables browsing of sales by simply flipping through full-size images. In other words I would like to browse first by full-size image, then secondly I look at the details (price, etc). Thanks!

The app looks great from what I can see! Is a Palm Pre (webOS) app on your radar? Thanks!

By josemdjr on October 14, 2009 at 04:13:54 PM

i agree with full sized image browsing first...on an iphone and it works great so far...

By bgrant6 on October 14, 2009 at 04:44:49 PM

so...when does the BB version come out?

By johnbiz247 on October 14, 2009 at 05:05:43 PM

It looks fantastic. As bjb39 commented above, are there any plans for an Android app?

By jrocket on October 19, 2009 at 09:27:55 AM

definitely need a blackberry app please!

By usocceri on November 16, 2009 at 01:40:15 PM

I hope to see a blackberry app now that they allow open graphics like iphone! I don't know why but I can't even look at the website from my mobile browser anymore.

By jamikarah on November 22, 2009 at 02:23:09 PM

Like a lot of other people here, I also want Gilt on my Blackberry.

By nz4le396qeaxhlqg27kq on November 25, 2009 at 01:54:21 PM

I would LOVE Gilt on my Blackberry :)

By sbeliar on November 25, 2009 at 01:56:15 PM

Also request the Blackberry App. . . And curiously, Gilt website does not work in the default browser for Blackberry Tour for Verizon (pages comes up blank with no interactive areas). Anyone know of a workaround?

By brianpxm on December 24, 2009 at 01:56:51 AM

please android apps~

By lja1125 on December 26, 2009 at 01:17:55 AM

Just a suggestion--if you guys aren't going to provide background music while we shop on gilt for iphone, then at least allow us to listen to the music on our iphones while we shop. Please don't disable the music from playing while we browse.
