It seems like just yesterday we were debuting shiny, new Etsy for iPhone, stuffing eleven million beautiful, one-of-a-kind items right into your pocket. No longer did you have to settle for waiting at the bus stop in boredom. The app made it easy and fun to find something inspiring on the go.
Well, folks, less than four months later we’re here: one million downloads! (Cue the ceiling balloons.) Not only has a world of iPhone users downloaded the app, they have then proceeded to use the heck out of it. With 25-60% growth in visits month-over-month since its release, and an average of 30 pageviews per visit, Etsy for iPhone has developed into quite the social butterfly.
No one could be prouder than Jey Biddulph, whose winning submission in our API contest was the seedling to this glorious app. Jey has since officially joined the Etsy staff, one of many representatives from our developer community who build tools inspired by the needs of the independent, creative businesses powering this marketplace. The number of apps like Jey’s, built on Etsy’s API, have grown more than 500% in the last year alone.
Etsy for iPhone is just one piece of the wider-world platform we’re continuing to build and improve upon. Our latest app release includes Direct Checkout, which makes it easier than ever to shop on your phone. Stay tuned for exciting updates, and if you haven’t already downloaded Etsy for iPhone, what are you waiting for?
Psst… To all the Android developers out there, we’re hiring!

Wow ! Only 4 months ! I was away from Etsy for a while and I would have assumed Etsy to have had an app for much longer than that... I downloaded mine 2 weeks ago & I absolutely love it. It's fun & very well made, it's a great app. Also manages to create a different browsing experience of Etsy which is nice. Plus I now know precisely how many favorite items & shops I have, which is either cool or in my case - I've been on the site since May 2007 - a bit freaky... But anyway, congratulations to Etsy & to Jey Biddulph. This is indeed amazing !

There are other products designed for the P90X system, such as yoga blocks and plyometrics mats, etc. But these are the basics that will get you through this 90 day system that’s designed to get you ripped quickly, as long as you’re willing to bring it and push play just like Tony Horton tells you to.For more information:http://www.p90x2workoutonsale.com/

Broken-hearted--the etsy app I left behind when I switched from an iPhone to my HTC Evo 4G is sorely missed. Although, I appreciate the efforts made by others to create a true etsy experience, they leave very much to be desired. PLEASE don't forget about us in the Android World!
