The free app provides address details, price, agent details and pictures. It also offers the ability to forward the details of properties to other interested parties at the touch of a button, as well as immediate access to the agent through a "Call Me" button.

Users can scan through photos in a slideshow feature which scrolls through images in full screen mode.

As well as being able to call agents directly, users can also email agents through the app.

Rightmove has catered the app to the 40,000 customers who access its website through their iPhone's each month, which accounts for 95% of its mobile traffic.

Miles Shipside of Rightmove, said: "Offering an app was a natural progression and we're delighted to be the first major property company to provide a service of this nature. 2ergo was the natural choice for us due to their mobile marketing and app development expertise."
