Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch Free

The mobile site is still better IMO. Add a simple shortcut to the homescreen and you're done. Less overhead during backups and less storage on your phone (minimalism).

I'm waiting for the android version.

Quote from ryanmc1 : How is a free app a slickdeal, let alone a front page worthy slickdeal?

1. free is cheaper than not free.
2. it has been voted up 233 times.
3. it's their own product and website so they can do what they want.

What is different between "iSlick" and this new app?

They said they get twice the amount of traffic on iOS then android.

Most mobile Web traffic comes from iOS, not Android, study says [digitaltrends.com]

"According to Chitika’s findings, 67 percent of the measured Web traffic during this time period came from iOS devices. Android accounted for about half of the overall traffic at 33 percent."

"Interestingly enough, while iOS devices seem account for most of the Web traffic among mobile devices, Android has dominated the market share for 2012. As a recent report from the IDC noted, Android accounts for 68 percent of the mobile market while iOS claims 18 percent."

I own a few android devices, I don't use them to surf the web though, I use my iPad and iPhone for that. Way smoother experience with the iOS products. If I want to store and view my collection of "borrowed" media, I'll use my android devices. Different devices with different purposes.

Yea, I was about to mention my observation, but didn't want to incite another iOs Android war. I always see my iOS pals surfing the web on their devices, but my Android amigos don't seem to web surf with as much frequency. I too, add HD video MKV files for play on my HP Touchpad but can't do so with my iPhone unless I do a 1+ hour conversion (bleh).

For me at least, it's irritating that the official app doesn't have a quick way to forward the deal to someone else. I do that often enough that iSlick is more appealing if only for that.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you now have to go the actual deal within the app and then chose to copy link. Even then, I couldn't copy/paste that into a text mssg, only an email.

Simple functionality, stupid oversight.

Sharing to Facebook, Twitter, and Email will be in the next update. We'll also have app url scheme so you can open threads & deals directly.

I use the slickdeals reader app on the Android and it works pretty well. I wonder though, does "mobile" traffic actually record the data from apps or just browser traffic?

Seems good - I wish I could filter by thumbs up since Hot Deals 4+ is my usual scanning.

Quote from histreet : Android FTW http://www.huffingtonpost.com/201...93292.html — Android (Google Inc.) — 104.8 million units, 68.1 percent share (46.9 percent a year earlier) — iOS (Apple Inc.'s iPhone) — 26.0 million units, 16.9 percent share (18.8 percent a year earlier) So ignore 68% in favor of 17%? Makes sense.

Quote from Tekerugburn : Complete and utter lie that there are more iphone users.

Number of devices out there is irrelevant.
