A new app for Kindle Fire has been developed by Hotels.com as it notched up 25 million downloads of its various applications.

The new app enables Kindle Fire users to search and book hotel accommodation, as well as review reservations, read customer reviews and search for specific mobile-only deals. Customers can also access their Welcome Rewards account, and store their payment information.

Consumers can now find the Hotels.com app across a range of mobile devices, including iOS for iPhone and iPad, Android, Windows Phone as well as more broadly through several development partnerships with Samsung and Ford.

A spokeswoman said: “Our strategy is to innovate and mould our apps for different devices and operating systems, so our customers get the best experience.

“We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all way of working and this launch demonstrates that. To date the Hotels.com app has been downloaded 25 million times globally and represents a significant and growing part of the business – we are looking forward to seeing the Kindle Fire products contribute to further this number.”
