THE DESCRIPTION:
Daily Deals displays electronics deals from seven online retailers, providing a brief description, photo, price and savings percentage for every item. Users are able to purchase from the application via Internet access.
THE GOOD:
Because the app doesn’t hold much information, it doesn’t take long to navigate. All deals are categorized by supplier and buying directly from the application is a little more convenient than doing an online search.
THE BAD:
When you see Daily Deals in the App Store, the listing does not say that it is only for electronic goods, or that the listings are limited to seven retailers. Inside the App, there is no system of categorization beyond store name and no specific format for each list of deals. There is no way to cross-check other websites and applications to see if these really are the lowest prices available on the internet; each link simply leads you to the item’s purchase page, which can take a little while to load, and sometimes crashes. As far as looks go, the bare interface only emphasizes the application’s makeshift quality.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
The actual application is hardly what’s advertised in the App Store. There is no search option or background information, so you’re limited to the short, disorganized lists of predetermined products provided by each retailer. There aren’t many bargain-hunting applications out there, but if you’re looking, Shopping Coupons offers 20 online retailers and more categories; get that one instead. For restaurant savings, use Live Coupons. If you often find yourself on the hunt for electronics bargains but hate doing the search yourself, you may consider downloading this application, but if you don’t mind the limited selection, WootOn! is better.
