I'm trying to work out if that should be read in an exhausted, sighing voice, or in an overly dramatic English voice 😂
Needs Patrick Stewart's voice, not Harry's 😉
You've given me an idea on what to do next when Tyrone has a deal again 😜
Oh how I wish I could upvote your comment, neil!
Never say never
The shortest thread in Ozbargain history.
Why
Coz
Just some tips, there is really no need for an app, in fact you will lose out on any customisations you may be using with apps.
- You can add an OzBargain icon to your homescreen by loading up OzBargain in your browser on iOS or Chrome and then Add to Homescreen.
- You can get notified by email every time a new deal/comp is posted to a specific store (e.g. Coles) by hitting the subscribe button on the store page or deal.
- You can get notified by email every time a deal hits the front page by going to My Account - Events - Subscriptions and clicking Notify me by email when:
A deal reaches the front page - You can get notified by email every time a competition hits the comp front page by going to My Account - Events - Subscriptions and clicking Notify me by email when: A competition reaches the front page
- You can get notified by email every time a deal is found with a specified keyword (aka search alert). Do a search then click Save alert. Search Alerts
- You can get notified by email when a deal in a new category is posted by going to My Account - Subscriptions - Categories.
- You can also notified by email of new comments in a deal, forum post, or competition by hitting the subscribe button.
- You can subscribe to an RSS feed of new deals or front page deals to be notified via your RSS reader of new deals.
Lots of stuff you can do natively to keep in the loop with OzBargain.
Sorry Neil, did you say you can get notified by email, I didn't quite hear you
Huh blue herring…sounds fishy to me
lol email, thats not an ancient technology these days
Yep email instead of an app. Roger.
Unofficial app is Aussie Deals app. It's actually really good
Phone is fine.
Wish I could upvote neil's comment. To be honest I don't even see a need for a mobile app. What does an app do that the website already doesn't do?
Only thing I can think of would be push notifications for the notifications bell (as oppose to an email). But eh, that could cause your notifications to go crazy some days from posting popular deals and not unsubscribing from them
There's VIP alerts on IOS, I use that when I really want a notification of an email.
What does an app do that the website already doesn't do?
The one feature I would love that I believe an app can do but mobile browser can't is pull down to refresh.
My phone does that fine. Google Chrome for Android though.
Just googled it I can't believe I have not known about this feature. I am a donkey.
Just a feedback if…
Whaa?
I have to say, while I do think an app would be kool, the website works really well for mobile, there isn't issues where I try to hover on the menu items like some sites, it loads quick, I pull out the info I need (quickly check the deal page before I head up to JBHifi incase I feel like buying something) its really good for mobile use.
kool?
I like the ' OZBargains ' app on Android (the one with the purple logo).
I find the mobile website too busy and cluttered.
Never.
