I didn't use it much because it often took as long for it to show up as it took to manually enter it, but that may have improved since.
Not quite as easily as on Android. On Android all you need is a web browser, nothing like iTunes as a middleman. You can't even shop the iTunes store in a browser, it always insists on going to the iTunes app. If I'm on somebody else's computer (say work) I don't want to be tied to iTunes. I usually end up searching on the computer, then open the app store on my phone in these cases.

Point one: he was specifically showing a car website & wanted it on his phone cause he was leaving the house. In safari you can save it to a reading list, bring up that reading list in safari on ions & there it is. Same thing. & I DO know this works. Not AFAIK, I do.
Point 2: fine. You can't do it in a browser. But he should have mentioned that you can buy from iTunes & it will start downloading on any iOS device right away. To say flat out that you just can't do it is a untrue. I wouldn't be surprised if they change this soon.
Why is it difficult for people to understand that iOS is not as difficult or restrictive as one might think.
