[Announcement] Official OzBargain Mobile App Is Available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store

Update 2024

Unfortunately OzBargain app is no longer maintained. We are focusing on OzBargain on the browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc) to be the preferred way to use OzBargain on a mobile device.


I made a available for testing announcement earlier this month for the official OzBargain Mobile App. However that post was sharing the announcement with Dark Mode (which was also made available for all logged in users earlier today). So I think I should probably make a separate post for OzBargain Mobile App and related announcements.

The initial version was published on Google Play Store on 15 April, and it should be available for most Android phones. iPhone version is available on App Store on 7 July.

Here's the simple description:

OzBargain is the most popular bargain hunting community in Australia where hundreds of deals are shared every single day. It is free for everyone to use, and everyone can sign up to share the bargains they found, discover & vote on new deals, and discuss the in's and out's of favourite deals.

With the official OzBargain app, you can

  • Browse the front page deals and new deals
  • Browse deals from different categories
  • Log into OzBargain for customised feed

The best way to use OzBargain on the mobile is still opening OzBargain website on a browser. However the app would be useful for those who insist using an app.

  • Is this the reason I ha ve not been getting push notifications on iOS 17.7.x for the past month maybe two please?

    The push notifications were the best part! So if that’s the reason they have stopped coming in, it wasn’t well communicated to the App Using Community. Thank you for all your efforts on Androif and iOS. I’m same to lose those push notifications from the app. But if you explain how I can get something similar through Chroe or Safari for iOS that would be really useful please.

    Thank for everything. Cheers.

      The closest thing would be our integration with Telegram. On your settings page under "Notifications", you can connect to our Telegram bot that will send you all your OzBargain notifications.

  • Looks like the Android app has completely failed now, it's logged me out and can't even establish a connection to load the home page. rip :(

    Does OzBargain have the ability to send notifications through Chrome?

    • Due to heavy load on the site due to Black Friday and Cloudflare kicking in.

      • Ah I see. Despite not being logged in I still got a push notification for your reply, interesting.
