Mobile app creative agency Grapple has created a utility app for the Post Office. The app is free, and is available for iPhone, Android, Nokia and BlackBerry platforms. 

The app allows customers to find their nearest Post Office branch, identify a postcode or address, and perform currency conversions using Post Office Travel Money exchange rates. 

A Post Office spokesperson says: “This latest addition to our current portfolio of digital services enables customers to perform selected simple functions, quickly and easily, whilst on the move.”

Alistair Crane, Grapple Mobiles CEO says mobile is the perfect platform for a brand such as the Post Office. “Mobile apps offer a fantastic opportunity for key utilities and service providers like the Post Office to create a strong line of communication with their customers and to offer quicker and easier ways to perform simple tasks wherever they are, from their mobile handsets,” he says.
