Shopautoweek.com iPad app takes car shopping mobile

If you've been reading Autoweek for the past year or so, you've no doubt heard us talking about our shopping site shopautoweek.com. It's designed to let enthusiasts like us (and most likely you) share car knowledge with regular car buyers, helping connect them with the best new car for their needs.

Shopautoweek.com is already a great Web site; now it's a great iPad app. You get the same easy access to editors' ratings, model comparisons and detailed pricing data. But since shoppers may not have Internet access at a dealership, the shopautoweek.com iPad app also offers extensive offline browsing capability so you can take your research on the road.

Check out just a few of the must-have features we've built in to ease the car-buying process:

-- Offline browsing capabilities

-- Expert recommendations and reviews from the editors of Autoweek magazine

-- Advanced search and filter options

-- Side-by-side vehicle comparisons

-- The latest news on in-car technology

-- Dealer locator

-- Ability to save vehicle searches, comparisons and inventory

And did we mention the shopautoweek.com app is a free download at the iTunes store? That's right, totally free. The only thing that would make it better is if it could buy the car for you and deliver it to your house—and we're working on that.

Head to the iTunes store and download the shopautoweek.com app today. Tell your friends about it. Arm yourself with everything you need to get a great deal on a great new car.
