Slickdeals: Deals & Discounts 4+

For you section needs work

Edit: there is a setting in menu to pick k default tab. Updated rating.

The “for you” section needs work. It doesn’t make sense that the “Front Page” tab is the second tab on the app, yet, it’s the only tab that automatically refreshes and lets you know that there are new deals since the last time you launched the app. Ideally, the “For You” tab will also have this feature but it doesn’t. You have to scroll all the way to the top and drag down to refresh which is an inconvenience. Either create the feature for this tab or make the “Front Page” the landing tab again as it was in the past.

Very good app, but....

I'm using slickdeals for years and have saved thousands of dollars.. Daily I'll have a chrome tab opened in my work PC for slickdeals to check every once in a while when I get a break..

The app is really good, but has some issues like.. When trying to upvote or comment on a post, it'll say "sorry you must be logged on to do that".. When the app is killed and launched again, this gets fixed.. Also most of the times, when trying to create a deal alert with a valid keyword (I was trying with 7 or 8 letter keyword) and got the error "user with this ID is not found : 0 "

I know the dev team watch this space for feedback and continously work on fixing them.. Hence leaving this review with lots of hope.. Anyway I'll continue to use the app, and will keep recommending to my friends to try as well.. Keep up the good work and bring us more good slick deals.. 👍🏼

Hi maggivisakh. We just wanted to let you know that version 5.7.1 of the Slickdeals app is now available on the iOS App Store. This version contains the fix for the logout issue you were experiencing. Updating your current app or downloading a brand new version should fix the problem completely. Thank you for your patience during this time. If you find that for some reason this does not fix the issue, or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at ios@slickdeals.net. Thank you.

Negative Helpful?

How can something be negative helpful? If a comment is helpful to one person but not helpful to someone else, does that mean it cancels out and the comment was not helpful at all? What kind of logic is this? Yet here you will see these negative helpful comments throughout slickdeals. This results in a community that uses the helpful buttons to essentially downvote anyone not telling a joke or telling them how to get something for free. People downvote friendly input and upvote jokes and snide remarks. Just look at any post in the app and you’ll see.

I get more pop-up ads from this app than any other app because the ads load after the rest of the content so your finger might be resting where an ad appears and it’s ultra quick to load them.

The app also asks for an explanation if you downvote a deal but not if you upvote it. It’s an unnecessary step that should be omitted.

Hi BrianFromCali. Would you be able to contact us at ios@slickdeals.net with more information on the ads opening up easily please? We're not seeing the same instance that you are describing in testing, but want to understand what you're saying so we can investigate if there is an issue there.

Regarding the difference between the Frontpage and Popular page deals, we have a FAQ page that explains it here: https://slickdeals.net/article/news/slickdeals-101-frontpage-deals-and-popular-deals/.

Regarding the comments, I will pass on your feedback to a Product Manager for review.
