## What is Coupon Binder?

Are you an Extreme Couponer?  Do you keep all your coupons in a physical binder?  If so, "Coupon Binder" is the perfect companion App for organizing and tracking all your coupons. 

Instead of the labor intensive task of manually entering all the coupon information into your iDevice, let "Coupon Binder" perform the tedious job for you!  Simply use your iDevice's camera (auto-focus camera required [1]) to scan the coupon barcode and "Coupon Binder" will automatically load all the relevant information from an online Database.[2]  Want more?  "Coupon Binder" saves you even more time by allowing you to import a Sunday-paper-insert's worth of coupons all at once.  Just pick the week you want from your favorite coupon publisher such as Red Plum, Smart Source, and Procter & Gamble and "Coupon Binder" will add all the coupons from that insert for you.[3] 

With a massive collection of coupons, trying to find specific coupon becomes next to impossible.  Let "Coupon Binder" help you with that too!  You can easily search your virtual binder by typing in simple keywords for your favorite brand (ex. "Garnier"), coupon description (ex. "shampoo"), or category (ex. "Hair").  Typing in keywords is still too much work for you?  Use "Coupon Decoder" to scan your favorite product's UPC barcode at the store and it will "auto-magically" search and match your binder for potential savings.[4]  How easy is that!

Act now and download "Coupon Binder" absolutely free!  There is no risk in trying it out.  You will get a 7-day risk-free complementary subscription when you first install the App.  You can always extend your subscription anytime by going to the "Settings" section of the App.  Any subscription you buy can be used on all the iDevice's you own!

*******************
Disclosures:

1) iOS11 and auto-focus camera is REQUIRED!  Coupon Binder supports iPhone 5S and newer, iPad 5th Gen/ Mini 2/ Air / Pro and newer, and iPod Touch 6th generation.  Older generations that can not support iOS11 will not be supported.

2) Online database (internet connection required) currently contains data for Sunday paper inserts about 5 months from present date.  All future contents are generated both by the App publisher and your fellow Extreme Couponer!  If you are the first person to see a new coupon, data you enter may be used to share with the rest of the community.

3) RetailMeNot, Smart Source, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble are NOT sponsors of this App.  There will be regional difference with the availability of coupons and potential savings.  This means that while some coupons may shows up in the master database they may not be available in your local region.

4) Product UPC matching is a "fuzzy" match.  This means the search algorithm will not always be 100% correct.  It will mostly likely find the coupon from the manufacture of the product you are scanning.  Search function will NOT work with manually entered coupon.  Manufacture ID (which is embedded within the coupon barcode) is needed for UPC matching to work.

5) Subscription transfer requires you to create an optional account (free). You may loose your subscription purchase if you reset your device before creating an account.  You can associate your account up to 10 devices per Apple's standard practice.

6) Yes, you still have to carry your physical manufacture coupons.  By law, third parties are not allowed to reproduce coupons (even digitally).  Moreover, your local grocery store still need the physical coupons in order to get reimbursed by the manufacture.  Any other App that tells you otherwise is breaking the law!

### 1/5 — Now mandates a purchase

*2026-02-05, version 1.5.1*

I have been using this app for YEARS under the free version, and now that is no longer available. You HAVE to pay for it now! Absolutely ridiculous. Not happening.

### 3/5 — Clunky UI, good concept

*2024-06-29, version 1.5.1*

I wanted to use this app for manual entry of coupon codes that don’t have a barcode that I get from small businesses. So I can’t scan a barcode, but when I manually add a coupon I need an image, but it won’t let me choose an image from my photos or “search” for a photo to use. (Where would the searched photos come from anyway? Google?) You always need to add some amount of money in the “Savings amount” category, even if the coupon is for “15% off” or “free shipping” and is therefore not applicable. I like the ability to save and search for words used within the coupon, but the app really needs work.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2023-12-10, version 1.5.1*

I thought this was an app to store the coupons so I could use them from my phone and not have to lug around a bunch of tiny slips of paper. Nope. It just tells you which coupons you have, it doesn’t store the actual coupon on your phone. What is the point of that? Useless entirely.

### 5/5 — Actually recognizes paper coupons

*2023-11-22, version 1.5.1*

This app is the ONLY one I’ve found which consistently provides the actual information about a paper coupon - such as expiration date, the product, the terms, etc…All the other apps I’ve downloaded and tried have failed to provide this information.

### 2/5 — Bit annoying for store % or $ off

*2023-08-31, version 1.5.1*

I hate that there’s no images to choose from when you’re manually adding a coupon and that you can’t just snap the photo yourself if it doesn’t automatically register. I get a lot of store coupons for a dollar off amount or percentage off an ounce expire on a certain date but I’m not able to add them because I can’t add an actual image of anything besides one clip art of a grocery bag

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-04-30, version 1.5.1*

Easy & efficient

### 5/5 — Great organizational app

*2023-02-25, version 1.5.1*

Easy to use. For some reason my snap shot feature is not capturing pic of coupon so it necessitates manual entry using barcode. Outside of that it seems like a good way to keep coupons organized. 
Of course like any similar app if you upgrade you get better features. Basic is good for how it’s used.

### 3/5 — Love the Search Bar but Need it for Expired coupons

*2022-04-26, version 1.5.1*

I have stores that take expired coupons I want the search bar to also give results for expired coupons as well as coupons that have not expired yet. Other then that no complaints.

### 1/5 — Crap!

*2021-11-12, version 1.5.1*

How do you use the coupons in the store? Doesn’t the store have to scan the coupon barcode? Why does the scanner scans the details of the coupon and not the barcode?

### 1/5 — Didn’t do anything special

*2021-04-19, version 1.5.1*

Dont purchase this app it don’t do anything that queer can’t do plus with queer it’s a one time purchase this app is a waste of money and space on your device $0.99 for 30 days lol
