Members can shop conveniently and with enhanced benefits delivered from their mobile phone. Shopping is now more accessible and fun."
The Rue La La Android App provides Rue La La members with an enhanced mobile shopping experience. It features:
- High-resolution photography to give members the ability to examine the finest details of each product;
- Fully integrated checkout that lets members claim their purchase in moments;
- Integrated calendar reminders that alert members when their favorite brands are launching – ensuring they never miss another sale; and
- Integrated Facebook and Twitter features that allow members to share their shopping success and to invite friends within their social circles to join Rue La La.
The new Android app includes the Rue La La widget, unique to Android devices, which is in full view and automatically updates for Android users to see today's featured Boutiques without having to open the Rue La La Android app.
