Google Shopping Express for iPhone updated with loyalty cards, bug fixes, and more

Google updated its Shopping Express app for iPhone today with support for loyalty cards from “lots of stores,” and other improvements. Among the enhancements are a faster method of adding items to your shopping cart and the ability to zoom in on product photos.

The update also adds support for autocorrect in the search bar, which should help people who suck at typing (like me) find what they’re looking for much more easily. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper app update without a miscellaneous collection of unnamed “bug fixes,” so that’s included as well.

The update is available for free on the iPhone App Store.
