Amazon's Flow augmented reality app comes to Android, makes shopping more entertaining

The iOS crowd’s been able to enjoy Flow’s AR features since late last year, but fortunately for those on the Android side who’ve been missing out, this powered-by-Amazon app is now (finally) also available on Google’s OS.
