The Woot items haven't been loading for days now. Apparently the links are broken. This app used to be a pretty good tool. The Woot Off feature never did work, but if you're a Woot junkie like me it was nice to be able to check it without the need to be tethered to your computer. Obviously the developers don't check to make sure it's up-to-date that often. Now it's just another useless app that does nothing.

The app images do not show that there are force-fed ads in a stripe at the bottom of the screen. I used to think, so what, its a free app. The problem is that the ad feeds appear to be required to load first. Lately, in the mornings (US Eastern time zone), if I try to use this app I get never ending swirls like it is trying to get to the woot! website. The ads at the bottom dutifully display and cycle, but no woot! content is ever displayed after minutes of waiting.I had tried 3-4 apps for morning time quick checks of woot!. This app used to show me all the sites on one screen and would help me make a quick decision of whether or not I was interested in the daily offerings. It never made noises like most of the other app's. It showed the main, kids, shirt and sellout on one screen. It did not handle woot-off properly, but no big deal. Later in the day, woot me sometimes shows the pages. That is too late for popular items. Sorry, this app is being deleted and I will be searching for a new one. I hope the ad revenue business model "works" for the developer. It failed me.

This app is an amazing, simple Woot checker for each of the five sites of the Woot armada. It has an intuitive interface that quickly presents you with all Woot items at once, and lets you listen to the Wootcast. The description screen could use some improvement, but this is a very well-designed Woot app and I look forward to updates.

Does what it claims and works well enough. Two major problems, though: 1) the app has nothing to indicate a Woot! Off; and 2) the banner ads are poorly integrated and overly distracting. Regarding the latter, the ads also appear to take priority over the functionality of the app. Specifically, they always load before any of the Woot! content. This, to me, indicates either a significant design failure or a fundamental and irreconcilable difference of opinion about the nature of advertising.
