Hey guys,

First of all I want to thank everyone who downloaded the app when it first launched. I’ve received a lot of great feedback since then and have taken my time to implement each one.

Basically SAD is an Ozbargain app that is optimised for mobile viewing experience with tools such as comment navigation, card views, pie-chart, widget, statusbar notifications and more.

I’ve included a series of screenshots briefly going through the main features. Screenshots

Also, I just released a free version on the play store. Free version.

    What are the differences between the free app and the paid app?

      The paid one costs $0.99

      Not much. The paid includes the wishlist feature and no ads.

        No ads???😵 Ozbargain is a web of ads, Haha. No offense, I love ozbargain.

        • lyl on 15/01/2017 - 18:05

          There is an option to disable ads in your profile settings if you want, but always a good idea to leave it on to support the great work of Scotty and mods

        • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2017 - 20:58

          @lyl:

          So ads within the app steer revenue to OP, but are there ads within the content still that support Scotty etc, or is this just a way to scoop up their hard-earned under the guise of an app?

        • lyl on 15/01/2017 - 21:16
          +1

          @Sir Casm:

          Sorry my last comment wasn't clear enough. It was a reply to leexm101's comment that 'Ozbargain is a web of ads', which I think he was referring to the ozbargain site. So I suggested that ads on the site can easily be disabled.

          Pretty sure all the revenue in this third party app goes to the OP.

      • plasmapuff on 15/01/2017 - 12:23

        Can you explain how the wish list feature works?

        • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 15/01/2017 - 12:27
          +4

          You can add specific keywords to a wishlist such as an item, a specific store or ozb user and when there's a deal that matches that key then it'll popup in that tab.

          You can check out the UI in the 3rd last screenshot in the imgur album.

      I'll definitely give it go soon. Last time I tried developing using virtual box it was just too laggy. However, I did recently get some more ram so hopefully it'll be less painful.

    Credit to an app developer that allows full functionality in a free app, with simple, convenient additions to the paid version. That's the reason I bought this app, developers like this need more support.

  • rawm on 15/01/2017 - 12:06

    Great app with almost flawless integration however there is no real ability to get a quick snapshot of the user posting the deals; just a generic image of the poster and their name (See example here: http://imgur.com/a/Fll7L -Correct me if I'm wrong!)

    Call me weird but I think the 'essence' of OzBargain is the community feel; being able to see how much a poster has contributed, when they joined OzB, their comment history etc. If you can't access this it loses a lot of it's magic.

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 15/01/2017 - 12:13

        If you could include the avatar image and link to their user name snapshot details that would be a huge improvement to the app. Well done on your hard work so far :)

  • 1Dollar on 15/01/2017 - 12:06

    Bought the app however several issues with it. Dark theme isn't working in discuss and message list. Takes way too long to load Top deals and comments compared to the site

    S5 stock mm 6.0.1

    Installed app and found problems.

    1. In dark theme in discussions the background tile is white and the writting is white as well. Clicking the tile goes into the discussion and everything is fine.

    2. Cant go into forum from menu.

    Unistalled after that. Looks good though.

    • ilikeit on 15/01/2017 - 12:57

        Its a nice clean layout, swipe left or right for other sections plus the side menu to gain access to other parts.

        Nice notification setup and wifget as well.

        I use the forum a lot and a dark theme dose look great bar the slight issue with the colour of the font.

        • NoApostrophePlurals on 15/01/2017 - 16:41

          Swipe left or right? Is this the tinder for deals? That's awesome!

        • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2017 - 18:22

          @Crowdedthehouse: sounds like it but no.

          Although it would be an easy voting system for all deals as apposed to mashing the screen to hit that small plus.

    Hi op

    Just bought your app because why not. Had a look at the forums and it seems it has trouble parsing tables. Check out https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/287561 for example on the app and on the website.

          @Mic Cullen & @Baebs -
          Location services must be active on your device for it to know you've been there.
          Make sure it's on then do some "shopping" and see how you go. Seems up and down though, I've had runs where its a constant survey every couple days then nothing for a week.

        • mickeyjuiceman on 15/01/2017 - 18:17

          @promethbastard: Yep, location services always on. I get them every time I go to Bunnings, but never at Woolies. My wife gets them at neither place.

        • promethbastard on 15/01/2017 - 18:19

          @Mic Cullen:
          That's really odd. Perhaps fire up the survey app and see if prompts you about anything?

    Slick looking app OP - Very nice. worthy of opinion rewards credit like others have said.

    Couple questions:

    Do the comments update/sync automatically? Would be nice to have a way to refresh otherwise.

    Does OzBargain have an API or do you need to rely on some other form of trickery?

  • Wellington on 15/01/2017 - 14:32

    Any chance you could make a ChoiceCheapies version for us Kiwis? It's literally exactly the same as OzBargain, just with New Zealand deals and a different URL and colour theme. If you have a look you'll see what I mean: www.cheapies.nz

  • OxfordMD on 15/01/2017 - 14:38

    Purchased and loving it. The only suggestions I have are:

    1. Editing for comments. This may be a feature already and I have just derped out in finding it.

    2. When replying to comments for some reason something is stopping auto capitalisation for new sentences.

  • mrsecrecy on 15/01/2017 - 15:34
