I absolutely love this app. I check it daily and purchase at least 1-2 times a month. I've gotten some AMAZING deals on current wanted items. Some sites like this with such deep discounts have old junk that no one wants. I love that shipping is a solid $5 (although sometimes that is the price of the item itself...). The reason I knocked one star off is that when I go to purchase i have had to go to my computer to do so instead of the ipod/iphone/ipad Im using at the time. One example just happened this week where I wanted to buy more than one item. It would NOT let me load the "I want two" icon. VERY frustrating I had to chance losing out on this deal to get home to use my computer. I like how shipping is discounted if more than one item is purchased but I wish they could link up a deal on shipping to different products purchased the same day. All in all awesome and free app!!!
The interface is so easy to use and really nice to look at. I love being able to go straight to discussions without leaving the app. That info is key in making the decision to buy or not. And I really love the way you can go full screen on the product photos and swipe through them. Woot publishes all kinds of pictures from all kinds of angles and states of assembly; I am thankful for the app that allows me to easily focus on those visual details. Wootie is part of my morning ritual. Sometimes I check the offerings while I'm still in bed. To be honest, a barely smile of appreciation crosses my face whenever I open the app. It's a really quick one, and not huge or anything. It's one of those apps that is just as it should be.
***edit after update***They fixed some of the issues, while introducing new ones. For single items the pages work fine. You can go to the discussion and click buy and they take you to a working page. However, when there are multiple items to pick from in a single sale, which seems to be occurring more and more, the discussion and buy buttons send you to a blank page and just sit there, because the data is different on this pages. On these pages you have to click through to another page before getting to the item, and apparently the app can’t handle that. Pretty annoying that the QA process on this app either missed that or doesn’t seem to care since it happens pretty much once a day at least. *sigh*Be better, woot. *****old review*****I used this app all the time to check woot, but now it no longer seems to update with new deals, the “discussion” links don’t work anymore, even the “I want one” button seems to be broken, taking me to a non-functional page! Very disappointed.
These issues have all been resolved :)
Doesn't show all the pictures for each item. That seems like it should be a given feature, but this is still my most used woot app so far.Addition: doesn't have direct link to woot site. I need that because it also does list the item features, which is the only real way to find out what the item really is. Woot stays true to their item write ups but they are utterly useless for figuring out what the item actually does. So I click the link to the discussion and from there go to the home page then click the item to read the features, before I can tell what the item is.
It's really convenient to see all the available products at a glance. However it's very inconvenient that when you click on the discussion button it takes you to the main discussion page, rather than the discussion page for the particular item. Particularly frustrating with Moofi! items. I have never found a discussion page for any of those. Why have a discussion button for them?
nice layout, easy to use. has all the spots and moofi deals tooevery few months there is a new version with minor bug fixes and tweaks to the interface. at this point this app is perfect and usually the first thing I do is check woot with it every morning.dec 2012: latest couple versions contain minor tweaks and improvements. still the best there is
