Flipkart is an online shopping app aimed at the Indian market. In addition to standard shopping features, the app has some interesting social features that distinguish it from those provided by worldwide marketplaces.

The Flipkart app makes it easier to explore the marketplace while on a mobile device. You can search for a specific product or browse through categories. The layout of the listings is clean and simple, showing all of the useful information in a prominent way. When you select an item, you will quickly see a picture and the price, as well as further details like the seller's name, shipping options and delivery areas.

This mobile app gives you the opportunity to make your shopping a more social experience. You can share the items that you've purchased with your contacts or send them a message with the details of a certain listings so that you can get their input. This last feature is quite useful if your friends use Flipkart too and you would like their opinion on an item or need help choosing one that is right for your needs.

The app has been tested on a variety of Android devices and doesn't have any major stability or functionality problems. There have been a few complaints from users regarding item listings not displaying correctly. If a seller formats their listings in a way that takes up too much screen space, some of the information ends up getting pushed off screen in a way that makes it impossible to see. Another drawback associated with Flipkart is that the marketplace is only available in India. There has been speculation that the company is planning to expand its reach worldwide, but no official confirmation of such a project has been made yet. Therefore, you won't be able to buy anything with it, as vendors don't ship internationally. Unless you're doing research on the Indian consumer market or know people that reside there and want to give them shopping tips, the app will be of little use if you live in another country.
