PayPal today made a new version of its mobile app available explicitly for the Samsung Galaxy S5.
The app, first announced in February, lets GS5 owners make payments across the web by swiping their finger on the GS5’s fingerprint sensor. PayPal says the feature can be used with most online merchants and mobile apps that accept PayPal, in addition to select retail stores.
Further, PayPal launched a separate app for Samsung’s Gear 2 and Gear Fit smartwatches.
The watch-based app lets people save and redeem offers, check their balance, receive payment notifications, and check-in at local stores.
Both the smartphone and smartwatch apps are free to download.
