Mostly good with a few flaws
Great for finding good deals. Sometimes you even get lucky and find a great deal. My gripes with the app are that 1. if you click on a picture in a post, it takes you to the product rather than making the picture bigger like all other apps do. Secondly, the Front Page is sponsored stuff, not necessarily good deals. Thirdly, it’s hard to follow up on stuff like finding deals you’ve saved or finding a post that once showed up in your notifications. That history may or may not be there, but if it’s there, it’s hard to find.

Too Many Unwanted Notifications and Duplicates!
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
I’ve been using the Slickdeals app for a while, and while it’s great for finding deals, the notifications are becoming a problem. I’m getting alerts for deals I didn’t set up alerts for, and it’s a little overwhelming. Even worse, I often receive duplicate notifications for the same deal, which is frustrating and clutters my notifications.
If I could get notifications strictly based on my set alerts and without duplicates, this app would be perfect. I hope the developers address this issue soon because, otherwise, it’s a great resource for finding discounts.

It is official
Between the overbearing nature of the company moving in directions even the founder pointed out would be issues, going against their principles, they are now doing cash back and this has caused them to remove many deals found. This has ruined the legitimacy of the app and it is clear it has turned into a way to hide back room deals with crappy brands to push products with the most kickback. It used to be a place where the content was being posted by everyone, but now there is only the illusion of that. I would be happy to abandon ship for another service as soon as one is viable. I do know that I will 100% never be clicking a link within the app and will be only visiting the site via browsers that can block all of their telemetry. Thats the only thing any of us are valuable for to a company like this.

Location doesn’t match….Location
In Canada, but the only deals that are being seen are U.S. based, and with most crap coming out of the U.S., you pay just as much or more for shipping, not to mention the exchange rate.

Needs dynamic text support
Most apps that display a lot of text support dynamic text support. Which means you can change the size of font using the font size slider in display settings. iOS allows you to change font size with at the global level or at an app level. However, the slickdeals app does not honor those settings. There is no way to change font size. This is inexcusable for an app that is primarily based on displaying large bodies of text. As I’m getting older I’m finding it more difficult to read threads on the slickdeals app. Disappointing that they do not have any way to change font size. The only way I found is to change to zoomed view at global level (that is a different setting than font size) but that changes the entire OS experience. App needs to support dynamic text or have a way to change text size within the app.

Inferior to desktop experience
The app requires you to keep clicking to update front page deals, which is annoying. In addition, no ability to search comments for key words. Finally, a fault of both the app and desktop site is very poor overall search function and filtering. You literally can only search by key words with no ability to filter for categories or price range. The slick deals community are awesome, but the app developers really limit how you we can access all the community’s knowledge

Great way to check Slickdeals
This app makes it easy to check all the latest deals posted by the Slickdeals community. Only negative is the cash-back feature is not available for use from a iPhone. Develop a separate app if you can’t integrate that feature with your current app.
Designed to generate fake ad-clicks
I would be pretty upset if I was an advertiser on slickdeals. The layout and padding around the ads, registers a lot of scrolling actions as ad clicks. So even if you have NO interest in the ads, the app registers the vertical scrolling as an ad click. If you’re an advertiser, you’re paying slickdeals for all those false clicks. Even the vertical distance between the ads is designed in a way that matches the average distance between vertical thumb scrolls, so even if you intentionally skip the first ad, you invariably click the second ad. The ethics and legality of this is … highly questionable.

Great deals
I’ve been using this app for a while. Probably look at it daily. You can find great deals on here. My only complaint would be that you can’t really post pics from the app. Sometimes I find deals in store that aren’t on the merchants website. Without photo evidence, no one would believe the deal. Makes sharing deals impossible sometimes. 5 star if that problem was fixed.
