Hey Slickdealers,

We're giving you an early look at some updates coming to the Slickdeals Mobile apps. The core experience you rely on stays the same, but we've made improvements to help you find great deals faster, more easily, and with less friction.

We get that changes like this can take some adjustment—especially when you've built up your own rhythm in the app. That's why we're treating this as an evolution, not a total overhaul. You'll still have the features you count on, now paired with a refreshed design and helpful upgrades inspired by community feedback.

What's Changing in the New App?

Here's a quick overview of what's new:

We'd Love Your Feedback

We want to hear from you. Your feedback played a big role in shaping this update, and it'll continue to guide how we improve the app moving forward.
If you have thoughts, suggestions, or run into anything that feels off—we're all ears. Drop a reply in this thread to share your perspective with the community, or use the feedback button in the app to send us a direct message.

Had the new app for a few days and miss seeing the thumbs to show how hot a deal is (eg 5 yellow thumbs for a super hot deal). That was usually the thing I'd scroll thru to look for. TBH, I think I'll be looking at the app less since the UI isn't as bold and feels even more commercialized. There's also too much white - what happened to the colors? It was easier to view before when sections were more distinct.

Is there no way to view my notification history in the app, anymore? It was always SO much faster to click on each notification that way, versus swiping down from the top of my phone screen and scrolling down to my SD notifications for every single one. In fact I wish the old app allowed viewing of even more (older) notifications.

Is there any plan to add messaging support? The app can never replace the website if such a huge part of SD's functionality is missing.

How do I view the feed that had posts that were from my search terms? The "For You" feed is not it. I used to be able to click on my profile picture and get this feed. If you took it away, can you please add it back?

It sounds like you may be referring to your deal alert matches. You can find those by clicking the Alerts icon at the bottom and then tapping Notifications the top of that screen.
