Yet another vote for a BlackBerry app please….
Blackberry touch app please
More apps are under development. I’ll put in a vote for a Blackberry touch.
You need an app that will allow contractors to scan the products in the store which makes a list of products and prices needed for estimating jobs. Doing it on the website is a pain because half the products are hard to find due to bring up all the products instead of what is currently available at your local store. We are there all the time anyway so being able to walk around the store and scan the exact product needed for the estimate and generating a list would make estimating alot easier. thus “saving time and money” as your ads say.
I like the poster’s comments about being able to walk through the store, scan codes, input quantities and create an estimate list. Having a contractor centric app would be so helpful. This could be one feature. The next would be the ability to have shared lists that you can name. That way contractors could have a job list where the workers and subs could add needed items, then when any of them are at HD they could check the list and pick up needed materials as the job progresses. You could make this location aware so that it notifies you when you drive within a X mile radius of a HD because you are often working in parts of town that you might not be familiar with. I’d be happy to help design it!
I am a Blackberry user. I can’t find your app for the Blackberry. Do you have one?
Just downloaded for the Android. Not a bad app. Some suggestions for features:
- It would be nice if I could store information about my house through your app. For example, measurements, tools I use, etc. A lot of times I find myself in your store and see something I like, but then I have to go back home and get some details then return to the store.
- My List should be more prominent. If you could use that information to then offer me product suggestions that are more tailored to my needs. For example, if I buy a furnace filter once every two months, I would like to set a reminder to purchase it.
- Allow for the create account screen to flip sideways. I have a G2 that uses a QWERTY keyboard, which I prefer to onscreen typing.
- You need to add more space to the bottom of the create account screen. When I have the onscreen keyboard up, it hides the register button, which confuses me as to when I need to submit.
- The process for the app is taking up a LOT of memory. There should be a way to shut it down via the app.
The whole experience with Home Depot was a very pleasant one
and The delivery people were so polite and helpful.
My only complaint was that I got a dryer and a booklet that show
my dryer has a 60 minute drying cycle and actually it only has a
30 minute drying cycle so I have to keep going back and setting the
time again and again. The booklet shows 60 minute drying cycle.
So what is going on.??? I never saw a machine with a 30 minute drying cycle?????
cycle???????
When is the Blackberry app coming? Or does Homedepot care.
Hi Bill. We do care and we really appreciate customers like you who reach out to us with questions and concerns. We hear you and we’re working on it!
Would very much like to know if you are planning to launch a iPad app sometime in the very near future? I have so. Many projects going on in visy house and could use an app that will work on my iPad.. Thanks
When will a bb app be released?
Good question! I can’t say for sure right now but we’re definitely taking BB app requests under consideration.
[...] RIS News even handed out best of mobile app awards, to Lamps Plus, Toys R Us, and usual suspects Home Depot and Best Buy. In a funny aside that gives some indication of just how fast the industry is moving [...]
Technology is definitely on the fast track and The Home Depot is dedicated to being a leader in this field. Thanks for the comment!
Why isn’t there an app for the Ipad? It is a mobile device and I use mine more than my laptop. Just curious.
Mike
I meant to say, I agree with Mike. How about considering the IPad?
Darlene
We have no announcements to make just now. But I assure you the iPad is definitely on Home Depot’s radar. Thanks for chiming in, Darlene.
I purchased a Wirlpool gas dryer from the St. Croix store, do you stock the conversion kit to change the dryer from natural gas to LP gas and if so how do I go about purchasing one or should one have been giving to me when I purchase the dryer?
We have no natural gas here so they all will have to be converted to LP gas,
Clement

Yes a BlackBerry app is needed.

Another vote for the black berry app!
What about an app for palm users?
Will it work on my HTC Android?
Bought a gas powered lawn mower and did not know you can not return this type of equipment. Never again.
This small dehumidifier runs relatively quietly and really does the job! Has held up perfectly, for the first year I’ve had it.
you have a 4 wheel vehicle at the clover shopping center at $2999.oo . I can’t find it on the web. The sales person I talked to not familuar with it , would lik more information on it. .Can’t find it on web. HELP !
Carl, I think you are looking for a 4-wheel riding lawn mower. Visit the Riding Mowers page. You may find it there.
Would love to try your new app. However, there’s no version that you list that will work on my Blackberry.
Do you have an app for the droid?
Just another post from a Blackberry user that spends way too much money there (my gf says HD is my favorite store) wondering when the Blackerry app will be available for your loyal customers that want and need it.
For those of us who don’t have one of the three mobile OS’s lsted, don’t sweat it! Just go to homedepot.com on your mobile device. Their website will recognize that you’re on a mobile device and automatically display their mobile site. Not quite as elegant as a native app, but definitely a great alternative. Thanks Home Depot for giving the rest of web-based mobile access.
Thank you for sharing this information.
We need it for Blackberry
We need a BB App…
Would be nice to see an app for blackberry!
I would also like a Blackberry App!
Will you be launching an iPad app? Want to be connected too!
I am surprised there is not a Blackberry App either. Please add this to your site. I am a hugh fan of Home Depot and being a home owner, I am there more than not
Would appreciate an app for blackberry usuers!
Hi Kelly. We’re definitely taking your suggestion under consideration and we’re working on it.
Would apprecaite an app for blackberry users?
The apps is a good idea, but no have app for Blackberry smartphones…
Wonderful! Now when I find what I want I can buy it instead of driving! Love this.
Sill waiting to here, when will the app for PALM TREO?
would really love to see app for BlackBerry!
Would like to see a Windows Phone 7 app made available.
How about Symbian?
Good Morning; Is there one for the PALM TREO ?
Can I use my coupons directly off my iphone by scanning at register? That would be helpful, I always seem to leave them at home.
Rhonda, it depends on the type of coupon you have. Check your coupons for terms of use.
A Blackberry App would be nice!
Where is the Blackberry app???
How about Blackberry apps? Doesn’t it make sense to offer the group of professionals who utilize Blackberry’s an app for HD?
What? No Blackberry App.?
Do you have a Home Depot app for the Motorola Xoom tablet pc yet? Do you plan on
releasing one?
How about the windows phones what app do they use?
Can I view weekly ads with the app
Charlie – weekly ads are not currently part of the iPhone app, though they are available at the top of the home page – will let you know if this status changes. Thanks.
When will the Blackberry users get an App ???
Thanks for visiting Chris! The Black Berry app is not currently scheduled to be released. When we have a date, I will be sure to post it!
Millions of us BlackBerry users and everyone leaves us out. I think I’m going to start patronizing those merchants who provide us an app when they provide everyone else an app.
very cool! just bought my iphone last week and always shop at HD..i am downloading this app as i type this.You have made our home updates alot easier!
