Looks like WhitePages isn’t the only app hitting version 2.0 on Thursday -- eBay has just pushed out a major new upgrade of its existing iPad app that’s designed from the ground up for better search and the ability to revise seller listings.
eBay has announced an update to the company’s existing iPad app on Thursday. eBay for iPad 2.0 is a complete redesigned experience, built with the new iPad’s Retina Display in mind and loaded with new features, fixes and user requests.
“Designed from the ground up, our 2.0 app brings what you want right to the front,” the app description reads. “The first thing you’ll notice is a new ‘home’ screen. At the top of the screen, we automatically include your eBay Buying, Watching, and Selling activity. Prefer something else on your home screen? Tap the Edit button and move your home screen options around, add new options or delete.”
eBay for iPad 2.0 was inspired by features and functions requested by users on the company’s support forums, which includes the ability for sellers to revise listings right from the app, a back button and improved search, with results now available in three different ways.
The iPad edition also includes ultra-high resolution item images, more eBay notifications and a whole lot more, which the e-tailer calls “a must-have for savvy eBay users.”
eBay for iPad 2.0 is available now from the App Store; the 24.5MB download is free and compatible with all iPads running iOS 4.0 or later.
