The Starbucks Mobile App replaces card payment! Everyone’s got their favorite coffee. Whether you’re a Dunkin’ Donuts’ lover, a sucker for MUD or if you’re an Oren’s Daily Roast regular, you take your coffee seriously and are devout to one company’s “Joe”.
That being said, Starbucks promises to give coffee purchaser’s such an edge, I guarantee all of you non-believers give them another shot. This has nothing to do with writing the names on the cups, the actual flavor of the stuff or even more ridiculously named cup sizes.
Starbucks just came out with a free iPhone and Android app that allows you to pay for anything you want to buy, straight from your device! It’s called “Starbucks Card Mobile”, and yes…it is as awesome as it sounds. This is yet another technological step in the direction of real electronic wallets.
All you have to do is download the free app and load your mobile using any major credit card. After placing your order with a friendly barista, pay for your drink by scanning the bar code the app gives you, straight off your device’s screen.
Sounds spectacular? Download it now and let us know how it is!
