The graphics on this application can almost be ignored, sure their very basic, just showing pictures of the gifts on a rather dull interface, but the point of the application is to see a picture of the item and order it and for that purpose this application works as advertised. I begun browsing the application by first choosing the "Category" for the gifts I was requesting. For example I could choose the cake to signify an anniversary or the Easter Egg for easter or the sad face to send a get well gift, along with other choices also offered. Each type of gift option is available via the bottom of the applications display.
Once an option was chosen I was then able to read a description about the item which for example explained what came with a dozen roses or a special spring bouquet. This product page also shows the price before taxes that I was required to pay.
Once I began the order process I was also pleased to find Address Book integration with the application. For example when filling out the "recipients address" I could choose one of my contacts and if an address was part of their information the program would automatically fill in their deliver address. This makes it simple to send flowers and other gifts to business associates or to quickly enter in your home information using your spouses information.
The rest of the order entry screen has also been simplified so you can easily enter in your own credit card and billing information and as you can see from the screenshot above, head back to the shopping area to add to your order or checkout at any time.
1-800-Flowers as an application can bring out the romantic in anyone, even when their traveling far from home. The screens are a bit clunky in design but they offer the information you'd find on the companies website. The application also offers a simplified checkout process for quick access to all of your needed information and it's 100% free to use.
If you want to order gifts while on the go I would definitely recommend this app as a great alternative to stopping off at stores wherever you are.
