DealNews Deals & Coupons App 17+

Beware the Deal Addiction

I honestly check Dealnews repeatedly throughout the day. It's one of my top five apps. The app design is very clever. It allows you to complete all the steps to purchase the featured deal (or research it) all within the app. Of course you can save deals to research or think about without having to scroll through all the new deals to re-find it. And you can notify friends via email, twitter and Facebook. I would like the ability to check for updated deals on items I added to my saved list directly from the list but that's a very minor critique for such a great app. The feature that adds the discount codes at checkout is just tops. I highly recommend this app. It's saved me hundreds of dollars. And you can't beat that!

Thanks so much for the feedback and so glad to hear we helped to save you some money! Happy Deal Hunting!!

Love it... but...

The only thing is dislike about the app is that if you go into a deal and come back out of it you're put back at the top of the list instead of where you last were.

Same goes for if you leave the app and return. Like if you get a text message and read it, then come back to the app. It's just a little tedious is all when it comes to it taking you back to the top.

Also, while actually scrolling through the lists the app will refresh and once again put me all the way back at the top. It’s so annoying trying to find my place again! Especially if I’m pretty far down the list.

Best app ever down downgraded to crap

What used to me a simple and quick to browse app is now a bloated and hard to navigate debacle. The latest upgrade includes (I sarcastically add) huge fonts that take up so much space you only see 75% of what was shown in the original app. Missing graphics, photos of products you might be interested in are now replaced with grey boxes with (contrary to the listing) in a font so small you can’t read it showing the discount “$100 off” (of what? I want a photo like in the past). Seriously, more than 50% of the listings now show no photo. Plus, the date the deal was posted is now missing so you now guess what the last deal you last looked at was (no more scrolling to “24-hours ago” and knowing you’ve seen everything listed below that deal). And I’m done. Bummer. From a 5 to a 1-Star by allowing some coder (obviously they didn’t hire a human interface developer) decide what looks good. I think I’ll let my 10-year old design my next company flyer, apparently that’s now the going style.

Hello @ IDoMagic. Whew, you gave us a lot to chew on! Two of the big changes in this version were 1) adding many, many more deals many of which don't always have images and 2) based on significant user research, we updated the design based on what our users find most valuable. We would very much like to understand more about how we can solve the "guess the last deal you last looked at" issue for you as you're not the first person to bring this up! Please contact us at https://www.dealnews.com/contact/ so we can figure out how to address your concerns directly. Thanks for the feedback and we sincerely hope you don't go.
