Global property portal makes mobile app available for Apple users.
Leading property portal Lamudi today, July 24, 2014, launched its iOS app in the Philippines as the company seeks to capture the growing smartphone market in the country. The launch of Lamudi’s iOS app follows the successful roll out of the company’s Android app in the Philippines last month. The app, Lamudi: Real Estate for Sale and Rent, is now available on
iOS devices in 16 countries across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
Lamudi’s Co-Founder and Managing Director, Antonius Salis, said: “The launch of Lamudi’s Android app last month was a great success. We saw huge demand from our customers in the Philippines and beyond, so we decided to keep the momentum going by moving our services on
to iOS straight away.”
The Lamudi app provides the perfect platform for house-hunters to rent, buy or sell property on the go. Both the iOS and Android apps are designed to meet the growing demand for mobile internet services in the emerging markets. In the Philippines iOS is the second most popular mobile operating system, with Apple devices accounting for nearly 25% of the local smartphone market, according to figures from Statcounter.
A key feature of the Lamudi app is its customized search function, which allows users to easily filter results by country. The app also provides match alerts, with users receiving a notification as soon as a property that suits their needs hits the market. House-hunters can also bookmark their favorite properties to access at any time and on any device.
Jacqueline van den Ende, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Lamudi Philippines, said: “The new iOS app puts thousands of global property listings from 16 countries in your pocket. It means your dream home is now just a tap away.”
All listings on the app feature high-quality photo galleries, detailed property information, maps, and multiple contact details for property owners or agents. Users can also share their favorite properties with family and friends via Facebook, Twitter or email.
The Lamudi iOS app is now available in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Morocco, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tunisia, Uganda, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
Lamudi.com.ph, which started operations in January this year, has over 57,000 residential and commercial property listings from developers and PRC-licensed brokers. The company has active offices in Manila, Cebu and Davao.
