  • Shopkick 'Mobile Meets Retail' App Goes Android; Available on Android Market As of Today
    shopkick 'Mobile Meets Retail' App Goes Android; Available on Android Market as of Today Android Users Can Now Earn High-Value Rewards and Offers at Nearly 250,000 Stores Nationwide from Leading Retailers & Brands SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2010 -- shopkick is expanding to the Android™ platform, effective immediately. The free app is the only app in Android Market™ that rewards shoppers for walking into participating retailers, including Best Buy, Macy's, Inc., Target Corporation, American Eagle Outfitters, Inc., Simon Property Group, Inc. malls, Sports Authority and Wet Seal, Inc., and for interacting with partner brand products HP, Procter & Gamble and Kraft Foods. "Now that the app has been tested by our retail partners and users, we are going broad quickly. Only 3 months in -- almost to the day -- since our launch, several partner retailers have already decided to re- up their investment with more stores and malls, and more shopkick rewards," said shopkick Co-Founder and CEO Cyriac Roeding. "So right in time for peak shopping season, we are also expanding, to Android, letting anyone with the latest Android smartphone turn stores into interactive, rewarding and fun worlds." How it Works The shopkick app verifies actual presence by detecting a "shopkick Signal" coming from the shopkick transmitter located in each participating store, and because the detection occurs on the mobile device, privacy is completely under the user's control. Once a shopkick Signal is detected, the app delivers reward points called "kickbucks" to the user just for walking through the door. kickbucks can then be redeemed across all partner stores for instant gift card rewards or for Facebook Credits to play games online, song downloads, hotel vouchers, the trendiest handbag, or, more altruistically, for donations to 30 different causes and charities and more.

  • Shopkick No. 1 Most Frequently Used Shopping App and Now No. 34 of All Mobile Apps in the U.S
    Shopkick No. 1 Most Frequently Used Shopping App and Now No. 34 of All Mobile Apps in the U.S. Engagement Tops Nielsen Charts; 1 Billion+ Products Viewed In-App Within Three Months PALO ALTO, Calif. (February 13, 2013) – Shopkick, the most widely used real-world shopping app, today announces that Nielsen ranked shopkick as the 34th most widely used of all roughly 1,000,000 mobile apps in December 2012, ahead of other popular apps such as Skype, Yelp, foursquare, CNN, Angry Birds and Fandango. While still trailing giants like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter overall, shopkick dominated the shopping category during the holiday season, with more frequent and prolonged usage than all physical retailers’ own apps including Starbucks, Walmart, Walgreens, Kroger, and Safeway. Shopkick 3.0, released last October, topped the Nielsen shopping app statistics on 3 out of 4 axes. According to Nielsen, shopkick is the 4th most widely used shopping app – behind Amazon, eBay and Groupon – which makes it the most widely used shopping app in the real world at physical retailers. Shopkick ranks No. 1 on most time spent in-app per month (2 hours, 37 minutes), No. 1 on the number of sessions per month (22) and No. 1 in terms of time spent per session (7 minutes). Shopkick’s users viewed over 1 billion products in the app within three months – since the app was redesigned as shopkick 3.0 in October – a number that previously took shopkick one-and-a-half years to reach with its former version. Previously, users looked at 5-8 products per day in the app, with shopkick 3.0 each user averages over 100 products viewed per day.
