Slickdeals App on Android can't download/install

Hello all, long time member here. This is quite long-winded, so I'll apologize in advance.

I've been having an issue with the Slickdeals App for the past 12-18 moths or so? I've had my Samsung Note 20 Ultra since 2020. I had the Slickdeals App installed on that for the entire time, until Slickdeals put out that New Beta app a few years ago (?) I installed that and gave my input, and had the Original App during that time without issues. After the wrapped up the Beta, and I think put out the Updated Current App, I couldn't seem to download/install it to my Note 20. That was around 18-12 months ago I believe.

About 12 months ago, I tried a few budget phones (Samsung A55, Motorola Stylus 2025 5G) and the Slickdeals app worked fine on both devices. Unfortunately, I didn't care for either of those phones, so I went back to my Note20. Today, I purchased a refurb'd Samsung S23 Ultra, and transferred everything over to the new phone. I attempted to download the Slickdeals App once again, and again no luck. I realized the phone today was on an old software version, so I ran through all of the updates, and it is now up to date (UI 8,5), and I still can't download/install the SD app. I've done the usual troubleshooting Google and a google search has suggested, and nothing that I've found has worked.

Any ideas? I've attached a pic of the warning my phone gives me after trying to download the app.

Thanks for any help. And you'll have to spell out things to try like I'm an old person because...well, I'm old. laugh out loud

hello old friend Wave

Unfortunately I can't offer a fix but I did move your thread to the site issues and suggestions forum to get more eyes on it. It might be a bit quiet until Monday but hopefully we can get you straightened out sooner rather than later.

Thank you good sir! No worries on a time frame. Just something I haven't been able to figure out for a long while now. Lol

happy monday! Wave

some insight from one of the mobile engineers (tl;dr beta app doesn't play well with current one; uninstall it):

I would double check that they don't have the beta app on that phone. In order to reuse the facebook login stuff, we had to duplicate some setup that causes the current app and the beta app to be incompatible. Removing the beta app should clear up the conflict and allow them to install the current app.

hopefully that's your problem...let us know!

Hello, sorry for the delayed reply...Wow, that must have been where the confusion was on my part...the old app vs the "New" app. Facepalm I just got it to work. Thanks so much for you and the mobile engineer's assistance. Tell him thanks. worship
