This page provides a high-level overview of the Bazaarvoice Mobile SDKs suitable for all audiences.
Introduction
The Bazaarvoice Mobile SDKs make it easy to integrate Bazaarvoice's core products in your Android and IOS mobile apps. The SDKs are built with modularity in mind with a common core and analytics package that can be installed stand-alone. From there, you can add on whichever products and services you'd like. Use the guides and references on this site to install, integrate, and effectively use the Bazaarvoice Mobile SDK for Android and IOS with Bazaarvoice products, such as Conversations, and Shopper Advertising.
