November 11, 2009 9:05 AM EST

BOSTON, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Shoebuy.com (www.shoebuy.com), one of the largest retailers of footwear, accessories and related apparel on the Internet and an operating business of IAC (NASDAQ: IACI), today announced the launch of a new app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. With more than 900 brands and hundreds of thousands of styles of shoes to choose from, the Shoebuy app lets you search, browse, shop, read reviews, and make purchases right from your phone. Today's busy consumers who might not have time to go to the mall or even shop on their laptop can now shop right from the palm of their hand.

"Our customers are savvy and enjoy great convenience, so this is another way we can expand our business to let them have the shopping experience they desire," said Scott Savitz, Founder and CEO of Shoebuy.com. "At Shoebuy.com we are always listening to our customers and using their feedback to drive innovation. We have loyal customers and the iPhone app allows us to be there for them, on the go. Not to mention, it's great when you're waiting in line or riding the train to work."

The free Shoebuy app allows busy, active consumers to match their style with their lifestyle. Much like the popular Web site, the Shoebuy app promises to deliver the following benefits on all purchases shipped to an address within the United States, and no minimum purchase is required:

    --  Free shipping and free return shipping
    --  100% price guarantee
    --  No sales tax*
    --  Ability to share your finds instantly via Twitter or email
    --  Customer reviews

    --  Search filters

Consumers familiar with Shoebuy.com will recognize similar user-friendly shopping tools on the app, including easy-to-use filters that allow product searches by category, gender, style, brand, size, color and price. While shopping the app, users can view product details, customer reviews, swipe through high resolution images of each product, tap to zoom and even share their finds via email or Twitter. Once the user is ready to make a purchase, just a few taps to select size, width and color and to Add to Cart. At checkout, shoppers can login to their Shoebuy account or purchase with most credit cards. The app was built on a platform developed by Klick Mobile (www.klick-mobile.com), a leading mobile commerce application company.

The launch of an iPhone app is another example of how Shoebuy.com is succeeding in a difficult climate by continuing to innovate and invest in the consumer experience. In just the last month, the eTailer announced Designer.shoebuy.com, a site that offers a specialized shopping experience and design-focused products, and ProductExpress.com, a site that offers free overnight shipping on select products, for the customer who needs it now. The app takes things a step further for the customer who needs to find it now. Shoebuy.com's commitment to customer service has solidified the company as one of the top eTailers in the country for outstanding customer satisfaction six years in a row, according to BizRate. Over 60 percent of sales at Shoebuy.com are from repeat buyers.

*No sales tax does not apply to orders shipping to New York State.
