The app ties your iPhone directly into the KBB database, so you can pull up the appropriate KBB values on the fly when that one-owner steal looks more like it&#8217;s been stolen from five or six owners. It&#8217;ll also clue you in to dealer locations and provide 360-degree views and reviews of any car you have questions about. It&#8217;s a free download in the App Store. <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you&#8217;re a seller who&#8217;s trying to unload that one-owner steal, you&#8217;ll want to take advantage of Kelley Blue Book&#8217;s Seller&#8217;s Toolkit. AutoTrader won&#8217;t be happy to hear about it, but the KBB software helps you create a professional-looking listing for posting on Craigslist, Facebook, Twitter, or in your e-mail or blog. Check a few boxes and you&#8217;ve got a digital window sticker, Facebook application, widget, dynamic images and a direct link to your selling page. <\/p>\n<p>On top of that, all of the tools provide quick links to KBB for buyers to research your car. The window sticker comes with a QR code that calls up KBB&#8217;s LiveValue function, the LiveValue ID can respond via SMS, the widget is built to fit into WordPress and Blogger, Direct Link provides a shortened URL for Twitter, or a potential buyer can even make a voice call to KBB to get more information. Like we said, it might not make things less stressful, but it could make everyone more informed, and that&#8217;s got to be good for something.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the galleries below for screenshots of the new iPhone app (we loaded it and poked around) and of the KBB Seller&#8217;s Toolkit features. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-iphone-app\/low\/\">Kelley Blue Book iPhone App<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-iphone-app\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/picture-000-copy_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-iphone-app\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/picture-001-copy_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-iphone-app\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/picture-006-copy_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-iphone-app\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/picture-004-copy_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-iphone-app\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/picture-003-copy_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-app-and-sellers-took-kit-screenshots\/low\/\">Kelley Blue Book Seller&#8217;s Tool Kit screenshots<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-app-and-sellers-took-kit-screenshots\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/03kbbappstk_thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-app-and-sellers-took-kit-screenshots\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/04kbbappstk_thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-app-and-sellers-took-kit-screenshots\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/05kbbappstk_thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-app-and-sellers-took-kit-screenshots\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/06kbbappstk_thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kelley-blue-book-app-and-sellers-took-kit-screenshots\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/07kbbappstk_thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/garage.kbb.com\/sellers-toolkit#zipo=e77ca983995e535a79e00a22d6ebe221\">KBB<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/18\/kbb-launches-free-iphone-app-and-sellers-toolkit\/\">KBB launches free iPhone app and Seller&#8217;s Toolkit<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Sun, 18 Apr 2010 16:33:00 EST.
