SALT LAKE CITY, May 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) was named the winner of the 2018 Appy Award for
best retail mobile app at a ceremony held on May 15 in New York City. The online home goods
leader beat out several top retail-focused apps in a multi-stage competition, which included a final judging round featuring a
panel of industry experts who review the briefs and actual apps of all the finalists before naming the winners.
“Our mobile app is a great example of how Overstock continues to provide our customers with the best possible shopping
experience based on user-friendly cutting-edge technology,” said Amit Goyal, SVP of Engineering and Product for Overstock.com. “I
couldn’t be prouder of the recognition that our mobile apps team has earned for their hard work in producing the best shopping app
on the market today.”
Key features of Overstock’s winning app include its top-of-class augmented reality experience featuring only the
highest quality digital 3-D models, personalized product recommendations, and unique search functions. Together, these attributes
and more allow Overstock’s customers to use today’s leading technology to find the products that match their own unique style, or
to design an entire room from scratch, all within a single app environment.
The Appy, which is presented by MediaPost Communications, is the second major app-based award Overstock has won recently,
following the home furnishing company’s sixth-consecutive Mobile Web Award win in late 2017, also for the Best Retail Mobile
Application.
