'kgb Answers' Mobile Application Debuts on Android and iPhone

GLOBAL information services business, kgb, the company behind the 118 118 Directory Assistance brand in the UK, has introduced 'kgb Answers,' a new mobile answer application for the iPhone and Google Android devices.

Now available for download in the iPhone App Store and the Google Android Marketplace, the kgb Answers mobile app delivers quick and accurate answers to any question, allowing consumers to take full advantage of the rich capabilities of their smartphones.

Similarly to kgb's 542542 text answer service, consumers can still ask anything, but with kgb Answers, they can also get answers linked to maps with the ability to save important addresses and phone numbers and share with friends via email, SMS or Facebook. Users can create favourites from among all their answers and see what other people are asking, they can browse questions and answers related to the topic of their own question, and they can even link straight to the answer source. Like the original text answer service, kgb

542542, kgb Answers is also powered by live kgb Agents who the business claims will deliver quick, accurate answers to any question in minutes

"kgb pioneered the ability to deliver precise, accurate answers to any text question in a matter of minutes. With our new kgb Answers mobile app ready to download on iPhone or Google Android devices, kgb's millions of customers using smartphones can now get an even more sophisticated information tool. Consumers still simply type a natural language question to kgb--no keywords required. When our kgb Special Agents respond to a question, the precision is the same as our text service, but with the kgb Answers mobile app we can deliver even more information with each answer due to the enhanced capabilities of a smartphone," said kgb CEO of Mobile and Digital, Bruce Stewart.

"kgb Answers gives us even more ability to deliver the exact information our customers need, whenever they need it, on their mobile phones. kgb Answers lets you open a map with your answer and get directions to/from a location, share an answer with a friend, save your favourite answers as well as important phone numbers or addresses, browse related and interesting information for no extra charge, or even check out the answer source," said Stewart. "Since many people are curious to see what other people are asking across a broad range of topics, we've included this feature in the app as well."

In January kgb launched its U.S. flagship text answer service, kgb 542542 (kgbkgb) following the success of kgb's similar "Ask Us Anything" premium text answer service in the UK.
