Official Slickdeals iPhone App [apple.com]

Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch Free
 

Apple iTunes has the Slickdeals App for iPhone, iPad, and iPod for Free. If you are downloading from your device, please make sure you search for Slickdeals, Inc. The other apps are not from us. Thanks whocares13

Note, requires iOS 6.0 or later

an entitled dumb comment was removed from here.

How do you change the setting for what exactly is enabled for notifications? (i.e. frontpage deals, deal alerts, etc.) I only want to be notified for deal alerts, not frontpage deals.
Out on Version 1.1! Thanks slickdeals!

Now that the notification can be deal alerts alone, how can we make this be the only method of notification in our account? Right now, the options for deal alerts are email/private message/both. A third option needs to be added for app notification only.

ETA ON:
1. Android version? Now Available on Google Play. [google.com]
2. iOS update regarding push notifications? Version 1.1 is out and has this. Thanks.
3. iOS update regarding pre-iOS 6 (if ever)?
4. Windows Phone 8?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official version?
Yes, this is the only official Slickdeals iPhone App.

Where is the Android version?
In development. There is 2x more traffic coming from iPhone vs Android, which is why we priortize iPhone app over Android.

Why iOS 6 only?
There are some iOS 6 specific things we needed to make the app work the way it does. 90% of iPhone users on our site is on iOS 6.

Why can't I do X?
This is the first version of the app. We felt that this covered majority of the functionality for most people. We rather release the app sooner so everyone can use it, instead of waiting a couple of more months to add some smaller features. This isn't the final version, we're constantly going to be making improvements and adding new features.

Updated clarification on Android 2x figure

As for the claim about iOS having 2x more traffic than Android remember to distinguish the difference between web usage and sold. We look at actual web usage, not devices sales. We're fully aware of the # of Android vs iOS devices sales. Everything from our own Google Analytics to mobile ad networks [chitika.com] (you can sum up Apple vs all other manufactures to get a 2x difference) to asking users which mobile app they want points back up the 2x figure and why we prioritize iOS over Android. However, we do acknowledge that Android has marketshare and is growing and we're paying close attention to this, which is why we have Android app in development.

Don't take it personally, we're a small team of developers with a limited amount of developing resource to go around and always looking to hire more people.

nice, i'll try it out

no HDMI. TD.

So if I click a slickdeals link in an email on my iphone; say a thread alert, will it launch the SD app for me or is there an open in slickdeals option?

When do we get an app for Android? I'd say the majority of slickdealers are on Android.

+1 on this. majority of the world is on android.

It will open in safari.

ditto

Yeah thanks.... Just what I friggin needed, an even easier way to empty out my bank account. Have you no shame!?

Requires iOS 6.0+..............................

Damn, it's a no go for those of us jailbroken!

Only supports iOS 6.

iSlick works for me.

I use I slick from the play store.

+1 for Android users.

yeah that's what i'm using right now but the watch feature is meh on it. also surfing hot deals doesn't bring up all the deals in a day, and it sorts it by when it was first posted. a native sd app that could be linked to my account would be great.

Typing from it now. Pretty nice UI. I like the fact I can log in my account on mobile easy breezy

Is this the OFFICIAL Slickdeals app? Looks like it is. Why no reminder from the BETA?

iOS 6.0 only. FAIL!

What? It says app requires iOs 6?? Why mods, why?

Damn. Just saw when I tried to download it :/

Yes, it is official app. https://www.facebook.com/slickdeals

damn why did i buy islick a few days back... anyways, I like the official app... Sleak UI for the Slick deals app...

iSlick is what I'm using for Android.

ios6+ = BIG FAIL

This isn't a hot deal btw.

you should be banned for making such an old and run down joke .. its not even funny rather annoying :lol:

I really like this! It looks like the Gmail app so the interface is very familiar. Great job Slickdeals!

Where is the love for android? Just switched from iphone to samsung note 2 and loving it! Hope the android version comes soon.

I see that. Looks nice. I'm so used to the basic HTML version on iPhone's Safari. Any way to go straight to subscribed threads?

Requires IOS 6, Thumbs down
To the mods, xD
Would love the app but why IOS 6, WHY?!?!?!

I'm jail broken 4.3.3 and been using the app for the last year...it was on installous or appcake I believe...and free of course ;)

App works great! Its really polished, based on what I've tried so far. Well done SlickDeals.

Um, maybe because 73% of iOS users are on iOS6.

This actually doesn't mean as much. The majority of the world speaks Chinese. Should the app be in Chinese?

Stats show that iOS users tend to spend more...

Love the UI. Very easy to navigate through. Good job development team!

No Android app?
TD!

You are using iSlick not this brand new official app. iSlick is an alright app but I use the official Slick Deals app on my iPad and the experience is much better than iSlick.

+1; i really don't care about an app but i don't like the mentality companies use that an apple app must be the focus

beyond that I don't understand all the apps anyway... for me its quicker and more convenient to use bookmarks for the mobile websites than have an app for the twenty web sites I go to. what am i missing?

Great looking app!

Is there any way to hide the expired deals? It'll be good use of screen real state on the phone.

In for 50

If THAT annoys you, then I don't know how you even tolerate reading SD threads! :eek:

I'll concur, bring the app to my nexus 4!

This really should be on the front page. Which mod will make it happen?

official slickdeals app on iPad is great!!! iPhone app is not that good. iSlick is better on iphone.

Really?

99 % of the world speaks Arabic.

Don't worry, we got our statistic from the same source.

WTF Slickdeals! I guess i'm stuck using iSlick since I'm not loosing my jailbreak! :ranting:

This app is useless so far.

Not a single way to filter anything :(

Beautiful app, nice to have an "official" one finally.

Excellent application, user interface and experience is best. Great :)

Agreed. On iPhone it doesn't seem to add much over just using the browser version. Filtering/sorting would be nice.

i speak chinese so it would be fine for me. additionally, majority of the us and canada are on android. and sure stats show that iOS users spend more. but that's because they're buying apple products.

Does the app give you deal alerts and notifications or do we still need to rely on email for that?

That to me is the only reason to use the app over the mobile version.

However, it looks and runs great. Good job and I'll let all my iOS friends know about this app.

It is much more cost effective at this time to make an iOS app than n Android. Many reasons.

I thought this has been free for a while? I love the app. I check it several times a day. They've done a lot of fixes to the app to make it better to.

But they really have done an awesome job with the mobile website. m.slickdeals.com. I actually like using the mobile website more than the app because it allows you to check the popular deals. The iOS and android apps don't allow for that. Only frontpage dealsd, top favorites and top rated. I wish they would update them to allow you to browse popular deals (and trending deals too)

Majority of the world is poor, doesn't mean it's the way to go.

Boo only ios6 compatible. Until they release an untethered jailbreak this will have to wait I guess

islick was free for me. Are you sure you paid for it?

Earlier i was using islick. Now i installed this. Good job SD.

Wow, this deal is so meta. BRB, going to DL the app and then view this deal. :)

this app shiits all over viewing the site in Safari...NO CONTEST

wahhh you cant filter wahhh...im sure there are some good deals on some diapers for some of you

at least the site doesnt lag and freeze everytime you click a frontpage link

this app provides an efficient and easy way to view the forums without having to constantly pinch to zoom if you visit the site on your iPhone at all you would be stupid not to grab this app

Yeah really have been trying to find a decent Android SD app for a long time. iSlick is about as good as it gets right now. Where's that Brian dog mod? I'd like to know how the official SD app is coming along for Android. It's one of the few things I would actually use on my tablet.

a slick deal about slickdeal....hmmm

Android coming soon ;)

The app looks great - thanks!

We'll eventually do this

Nope :lol:

Emails will be sent out later this week. This is more of a soft launch to ensure everything is running smoothly before we announce it to everyone.

This will be in the next update

90% of iPhone users on our site is on iOS 6. There are some iOS 6 specific things we needed to make the app work the way it does.

Its planned

We're rolling out with just frontpage for now, and add deal alerts later.

This is the first version of the iPhone app. Any other app are unofficial versions.

iPhone traffic is 2x more than Android traffic. We're aware that there are more Android devices, but there is just less traffic to our site (and many other site). Based on this information, it only made sense to prioritize iPhone first. However, Android is currently in development.

I have been thinking about making an Android SD app with some kick ass features. Two problems that I have had are:

1) Not sure about the number people who'd use that
2) Not much time.

Apparently SD got an official app coming but I'd still take a crack at it if enough people are interested.

Very impressed with the app...my first post from the app

Shouldn't this be in the Freebies (digital downloads) section ;)

thumbs down, where's the android 2.2, 2.3, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 version(s)?

iPhones are not slick!

deal alert in not working

Wow this is so much better than the unofficial sd app I've been using.my favorite part is how all the links open within the app itself and don't go into a separate browser. Also this Is way more comprehensive than the unofficial ones.

A few suggestions. Can u add an easy way to check trending deals? Also top rated and top favorites?

Also can you make it easier to rep people and thumbs up posts?

Also do u have any idea when the iPad and android apps are going to be released?

android

Requires iOS 6...are you serious? Get your shit together SD.

The sense of entitlement in this thread shouldn't surprise me, but it still does.

iOS 6 is required? come on SD!

Droid

Great app
 

I love the SD app - works great on the iPhone just like the free HMJ iTunes app (which is hilarious). Between these two, my workday flies by!

Nice and it's iPhone 5 optimize

We really need an Android version.

I downloaded it and it installs as iSlick Free? Am I doing something wrong? I even uninstalled iSlick first. Oh well, it's a lot easier to access SD on something larger than an iPhone anyway.

You're downloading the wrong app. scroll over a few and you'll see the official Slickdeals app. it's white with the SD logo in blue

You have to keep scrolling to the right to find it

islick is the unofficial app which still works good but this deal is referring to the official app. So make sure you click on the link in the op post.

So far I am loving it. I will spend a great deal of time on it. I can already tell.

Liking this better than islick so far. Ipad version is nice too!

"no android" = "no hdmi"

having "no android" is as bad as having "no hdmi" ...

dang it, missed this thread...

The UI is great. My biggest issue (and the reason why I won't use this app) is the content view.

It's similar to the i.slickdeals.net, which I couldn't use, so I went back to m.slickdeals.net.

Here's the biggest thing: so much wasted space!!!

I hope these pictures convey what I'm talking about.
With the app (and i.slickdeals.net), there is so much more unnecessary scrolling.
1st pic is Forum View, the list of topics. See how many topics you can see w/ app vs mobile.
2nd pic is Thread View, the list of comments. See how many comments you can see w/ app vs mobile.

Would like a way to edit posts though :)

Nice, seems good so far.

awesome got one

TD, No Android. And this is a freebie.

Besides your bias opinion where is the poll? Looks like this "iPhone" thread is pretty popular. I would say More use Android, Correct. But not by much for the 10000 Android phones made, vs the 5 Iphones. I'm sick on android getting slower over time owned and all the errors. So I switched to Iphone couple years ago. Never been happier. Apple is a bit easier to deal with if there is a malfunction too. Haven t had this happen yet though. :)

Did you read the thread? I can't believe all the questions that are answered by taking a couple of minutes reading.

Slickdeal!

Lame....6.0 only

Great! Thank you guys!

Tax kills deal.



;D

Eventually yes

What do you mean?

Repping will come later. Thumbs up post will as well when voting on posts comes out. Its currently in beta.

You must be using the old mobile site for the comparison. One of the reason why we updated the mobile site was to make it more touch friendly. We'll take a look at ways to optimize the UI accordingly.

Eventually

I agree. I have a Apple iPod Touch 3.0 & Apple WILL NOT upgrade it to OS6 so I am stuck with 5.1.1

This app needs to be backwardly compatible. I give it a thumbs down. FAIL.

Would like Android and Windows 8 App!

I would like to see it on my palm pilot, windows ce and blackberry....

Wow. I have this on my iphone for some time, didn't realize so many slick dealers didn't knew about it. :)

I feel like I'm going to be using the old http://m.slickdeals.net for a long time (not the new m.slickdeals.net).
I'd rather have more screen real estate for reading data, at the sacrifice of touch friendliness.
How many times do you have to "thumb to scroll" before you reach the end of a page?

Using this thread as an example, I "read" all the way down from post #1 to #40 (40 posts per page).
Took me about 9 thumb scrolls vs 20 scrolls w/ the mobile app.

The only thing I can't do on http://m.slickdeals.net is check my profile page (to see last posts, etc...) - I have to use the full HTML version for that.

Baa Baa

Doesn't shock me that Android gets shown the backseat again. I mean there are special links that are iPhone (http://slickdeals.net/mobile/) and iPad (http://slickdeals.net/mobile/ipad.php) friendly. Don't see a link at the top for Android! Step it up @SlickdealsCEO

Samsung (Android) alone has dominated the iPhone. Look it up. So as slow as the developer has made this for iPhone, they are WAY behind on the market compared to the Android user base.

jailbroken on 5.1.1. bought it months ago when it was on ios5. great app! However, it does not push notifications even when setup to do.everything else works. all apps should be compatible with 5.1.1.no excuses. will never downgrade to ios6..ever..unless JB.

What Android phone did you use? Android was really rough a few years ago, and I would say after ICS, it has become very refined and elegant. The GS3 is an extremely good phone. With a lot of apps open, any phone will slow down. This applies to iOS and Android. And what errors are you referring to? Not trolling, but genuinely curious.

That comparison is really off. Yes, the majority of the world speaks Chinese, but this is an English website, that has users on iOS and Android. And what does it matter if iOS users spend more? The app is free.

That being said, I can't wait for the Android version.

Nice UI. Using it now for this post.

One of my favorite features on the unofficial islick app is the ability to check top favorites and top rated. Top favorites are the deals that are currently the most thumbed up. Top rated are the deals that have the most stars.

Usually top rated and top favorited filter out some incredible deals that may not have made it to front page. Or some of them have made it to front page. Anyway, those are two great ways to sort the deals. if you look at islick, youll see what i mean.

Great app. Posting from it now! Hope there'd be a settings option in the future to opt out of pictures for less data usage and loading times.

is there a way to bookmark threads that im not seeing?

iOS 6 can suck it. Giving up my jailbreak for this app would not be a very slick deal. TD for not very good deal.

Repped for this tip! Thanks!

What's the benefits of using the app vs website thru safari?

Thanks for the update Bryantq

I wish there were mini photo like the islick app for example when you look at "hot deals" forum you do not see the pic preview but FP deals you do...

I bet they don't see high android use because many of us change our UserAgent..

Is this a function of so many unofficial slickdeals apps on the playstore which is depressing site traffic numbers? I don't doubt the accuracy of 2x number, but that number may not give the complete story about how users interact with slickdeals especially when you consider that android now has a bigger market share (or at least last I checked).

Huh? I didn't think Techcrunch had many articles about world languages

Spam, Self Promotion

Requires iOS 6? Fail...

this is so good, i'm waiting for this long time ago!

Where is the Android version?
In development. There is 2x more traffic coming from iPhone vs Android, which is why we priortize iPhone app over Android.

I agree. Android rocks the world. Apple IOS developers are waiting around in their lab for Android developers to come out with their new innovation for Android. :)

nice, been waiting for this!!

It IS THEIR FORUM...duh

This should be a announcement and maybe a sticky rather than a post that will be buried.

Why is this not FP?!?!?! It's awesome.

Big disappointmet: requires ios 6. What about us who r on 5 and do not wish to upgrade?

SlickDeals is offering a Free Lifetime Membership too the Forums of Slickdeals for anyone upset over the App requiring iOS6.

Lol..very funny

Finally

Exactly. I have IOS5 in my 4S. I don't want to upgrade because I don't want to get lost using the map :P

iphone only?

blah.

Thanks! I'll look again...

google maps just came out for ios6 few days ago...

Too bad its IOS6 only. Doesnt work on my iPad 1. :(

Official app? How about this one then?:confused:

Deals & Steals - Slickdeals, by Hotelnames.net; I got this iOS app quite a while ago and was able to use slickdeals.net user id/pswd to log in.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/d...91082?mt=8

Now all we need is a hot deal on some CHEESE to go with all this...

Since it's only for the latest version of the OS, I wonder how everyone would feel if it was for the latest version of Android. Would that make everyone feel better?

I'd bet there's a much higher percentage of "i" devices that are easily upgradeable to the latest OS version (iOS 6) than there are Android devices that are easily upgradeable to the latest OS version (4.2).

App crashed 4 times n a row before it finally opened.....

I thought SD was about saving money...not over paying for the apple name on a phone

Finallllllllllllly! O:

Hey,

Yeah There was a paid and a free version. I have been a user of free version, But features like app notifications for deal alerts etc made me purchase the paid version for $0.99.

Anyways, It help me find great deals on-the-go though... So I guess I shouldnt complain as i have saved more than $0.99 :)

iOS 6+? No go. Sorry SD, ya let me down.

http://www.slickdeals.net

I put this link in my browser's bookmarks. Bookmarks is what they call apps nowadays. And I can click on it and come to this website. I know. Kinda cool.

Android discrimination right here

This was an ignorant post. IMHO

In for 2, thanks.

Nice app. Better than going thru mobile site.

Can't open any threads on it this morning :( Worked fine last night, but now I just the the spinning thing and not ONE thread will open.

Almost as overdone as "you mad, bro?". :nod:

I can't figure out how to remove the badges from the app. I don't want to fully disable it I just want them to go away after I check out what exactly I should be looking at.

Android rocks the world a couple months after the iOS app comes out

This! You can only see like 3 deals per page. It's really quite bloated.

The side menu is slick though.

Someone please post jailbreak instructions for iOS 6 or at least let us know who is developing one so we can donait $$$

Saw them tease this a few days ago. Trying this out now!

Can't edit posts.. Only see a couple deals and then I have to scroll.

So true, not worth it to the Jailbroke and Unlock Community.

Is anyone else having a hard time adding a deal alert on the app?!

Very well done app ESP for the first iteration.

Might as well give it a try

Who's the programmer that talked sd into developing the app for ios6 and up only!? Major fail. SDers are moderate hackers and want jb on their devices.

I just wanna say this app is completely awesome. I really hope they continue to add features. Very nicely done.

Does anyone know how the push notifications work? I just got a push notification for a FrontPage deal on Crayola something. I did not set a deal alert for anything related to that.

The push alerts seem to be solely for front page deals.

I'd like push alerts for my deal alert items only tbh

SD should pay us to download this.

I don't have iphone blahhhhhh

Sweet - been waiting for something "official" for some time now!

there is an app called islick that i use on my jailbroken iphone4...its alright

No iOS 5 support is a mistake. It is just bad business. Slickdeals is in essence eliminating a huge number of people from using their app. Iphone 3gs runs like crap with iOS 6 and in fact the iPhone 4 is not far off. When you take into account the amount of Jailbroken devices that the new app will not support and the amount of traffic SD will be losing in the long run, it seems failrly cut and dry. IMO

Who exactly was the person that decided 90% of the SD target iPhone users are using iOS 6? I would like to see this study because it is undoubtedly nonsense.

Although iSlick will get many a DL from those finding no support for the SD app, they must be happy.

I'm going to call BS on the 2X iphone statement. I'm in the tech industry and study this and the treands of mobile devices. You either have some bogus monthly data or your taking the hype around the internet. Maybe your comparing one specific version of android?

If you are taking ALL android phones vs ALL iphone traffic, I honestly don't see how you can get those numbers.

don't have ios 6

android.

Exactly. I'm sure most people using this website are tech saavy and if they have an iPhone, chances are it is Jailbroken. Which for iPhone 4S phones means it is on 5.x.x , not 6.

It runs pretty smooth on my iPod.

wow, free app that will always be free sure does qualify to be on the front page!

I think there are companies that collect stats, so I don't think it's a complete BS.

Get a cheapy iPod touch then.

"There is 2x more traffic coming from iPhone vs Android"

That's because people who have an Android use their computers to access SD.

Vote for and Android app, and deal notification push messages!

Between this and Google Maps, it's been a great week for my iphone :D

I thought there was no self promotion on SD

installing it now, thanks :)

get over yourself, i'm sure they have access to their own traffic numbers.

Come on Windows phone version!

:heart: that SD snubbed Android :harhar:

This app is incompatible with this iPod touch...

Waiting for Android :girly:

no HDMI

no 1080p

and iOS or YMMV


do i even have to say it?

TD
























j/k i never vote

How much does this normally cost?

Shipping kills it.

I am playing this app on my iPod touch 4th gen. You need to update to iOS 6. ;)

this is a slick deal

How does Slickdeals make money? Advertising and referrals......

What is one more way to do this? Making iOS6 mandatory......

Why iOS6? So they can track you and show you targeted advertising..... You can read more here [theregister.co.uk]

cold.. no android...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What reason would they have to release the iphone version first unless it was that they get more traffic through it?

No Android? Not good for me....
