H&M iPhone app racks up 1.4m downloads in eight weeks

Now expanding globally and adding new features.

More than 1.4 million people have downloaded retailer H&M's iPhone app in the eight weeks since its release.

The app lets users browse the retailer's current range of clothing, find their nearest store, and get a discount m-voucher by shaking their handset when the app is running.

UK studio ustwo developed the app for H&M, and has been updating it regularly with new content and campaigns.

The app is also being launched outside the UK, matching H&M's international expansion.

Early next month, an update will introduce Twitter sharing, as well as the ability for users to check the balance on their H&M gift cards.

However, it's the 1.4 million milestone that will make rival retailers prick up their ears (and double-check their app marketing budgets).

"This astounding figure represents true brand power and can be put down to H&M's continued investment in mobile," says ustwo co-founder Mills.

"Giving users what they want with ongoing and relevant updates is a surefire way to keep them engaged, telling their friends and coming back for more."
