Third party eBay app comes to Windows Phone with eBay’s blessing

While we're mostly okay with the official eBay app for Windows Phone, at that place'due south nothing similar a lilliputian competition to go on things going steady in innovation. Such is the case with the newly released Auctionapp (Auctionapp.co) for Windows Phone (7.x and 8).

The app is sanctioned by eBay having been "vetted" past their Partner Network and Developer teams, and so information technology'southward legit. That'due south adept news as it ways the folks behind this app tin access eBay's services and in theory, ameliorate upon them (or at least offer a different experience).

Auctionapp is at present available to be downloaded and it takes an interesting approach to the UI design. The app itself is quite 'Modernistic' in the sense that information technology creates a Outset-screen-within-a-Start screen. Those Tiles for different aspects of the service can exist moved effectually (or fifty-fifty deleted) by the end user, giving a more customized experience.

We're non too fond of that look though and would prefer a more natural, Metro/Modernistic design following traditional Panorama layout. Only perhaps you'll like information technology or the extended features that this app offers over the official version, including

Multiple user accounts per device
Sophisticated listing tools
Advanced search options

What's more, since this app is a version 1.0, the developers note that we can "Expect frequent updates with new features coming soon!" meaning things volition probably only go better.

Auctionapp is costless for Windows Phone 7.x and 8 users and can be found here in the Store. Cheers, Josh S., for the heads upwards
