NP Dodge iPad App is Here.

Through interactive maps, full-screen photography and detailed property information. NP Dodge Real Estate is making the search for your next dream home easier with their new iPad app.

Due to its larger screen size, NP Dodge was able to rethink the user experience and create an iPad application that more closely resembles a traditional web experience. NP Dodge took the same technology developed for their iPhone app and enhanced its features so customers can effectively manage their home search while on-the-go.

Customers can find properties using the standard map search, but can enhance their search by taking advantage of the NP Dodge Journey, Perimeter and Augmented Reality searches. Different from the iPhone app, listings show up as pins on the map and also as a list of images on the right-hand pane so users can easily click through to properties of interest.

By using the iPad's camera the user can simply hold up the device and explore the surrounding area. Objects will be overlaid on the iPad's display offering additional interactive content and information. In addition to the interactive search functionality, the app also sync to the user's account with NP Dodge, ensuring saved favorites and searches are accessible on the user's mobile device as well as NP Dodge's website.

With a larger canvas NP Dodge also has the ability to showcase abundant property data and more detail and full-screen photography while still providing quick access to contact information. Additional highlights of the NP Dodge iPad app are:

. Property and apartment unit clustering
. Easy access to account dashboard, search forms and agent roster
. Integrated mortgage calculator
. Detailed listing information
. Status banner on properties
. Guided Help Tour

Mike Riedmann, President of Residential Sales said "Real estate search is very interactive and with the functionality of the iPad it is simply amazing. Mobile accounts for nearly 30 percent of our overall web traffic and we anticipate this to grow tremendously in the next few years. Providing an exceptional user experience on an iPad will ultimately help us bring more home sellers and home buyers together."

Go to the Apple Store to download the new NP Dodge iPad app.
