However, it is important to mention here that the Android and web version of the site is essentially identical. The ‘Home’ feed delivers a list of recommended products that you might be interested in, while you can see a list of products that you ‘Saved’.
Besides, the ‘Notifications’ tab shows order updates and promotions, while ‘Cart’ allows you to start to move on to the purchasing process. Also, by simply tapping your profile avatar in the search bar you can see past ‘Orders’ and quickly reorder.
