Boohoo.com is launching its first m-commerce app this weekend.

The app is built on the Poq app commerce platform for iOS, and features boohoo’s full product range. The launch comes in recognition of research that shows the young shoppers Boohoo is targeting currently spend an average of three hours a day on their mobile, and that 40% are already buying at least once a month using the device. Currently, smartphones drive half of all traffic to the Boohoo website.
