LOS GATOS, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/11/13 — Wanderful Media® today announced the availability of its app, bringing the virtual experience of flipping through newspaper circulars to the world-s most popular tablet.

“We believe the launch of Find&Save for iPad is a game changer for Wanderful Media,” said Ben T. Smith, IV, CEO of Wanderful Media. “When we reimagined what the digital circular should look like, we believed the best browsing experience would be on the tablet. With Find&Save for iPad, we are combining the product features available in the mobile browser, with the unique experience only a native app can bring.”
The new Find&Save for iPad app is iOS 7-friendly and includes millions of items from more than 18,000 brands, and features:
iPad app users will get notifications when the latest circular from their favorite retailers have posted.
The app features a virtual page flipping experience through retail circulars.
When saving products in the iPad app, shoppers can use their fingers to easily tap and drag items to their personalized lists.
Shoppers will receive app notifications for key events such as items expiring on their shopping list so they never have to miss a sale.
The app includes a My Favorites tab giving shoppers quick access to a tiled view of stores and categories they are following.
The Find&Save app also includes the popular features available on , such as the ability to follow favorite stores and categories, and share finds with friends on Facebook, Twitter or email.
Since the launch of the new Find&Save in April, Wanderful Media has rolled out new features in a continuous effort to improve Find&Save across tablet, mobile and web browsers. For example, new location detection enables shoppers to more easily find a deal at a store nearby. The shopper-s location is automatically detected and the local market is highlighted on the Find&Save home page.
Wanderful Media has also developed a that uses location detection to surface the Find&Save homepage in the app and on Find&Save-s Facebook fan page.
The latest weekly circular pages were recently fully integrated into Find&Save. The circular page view can be found by clicking on a circular thumbnail from the homepage or a store page. This takes shoppers to the grid view of the circular content. After clicking the “flyer” button shoppers can view the circular pages as they appear in print.
