### 1/5 — Worse than website

*2026-02-20, version 1.0*

Title explains itself. You’d think getting the app would add features, however it’s less useful. No search functionality so you’ve just got to waste your time using the map or scrolling through the list. Please fix this as the app has to potentially to be great. Just use the website for now, it’s embarrassing they’d make an app that’s worse than the website. Like what’s the point?

### 3/5 — Time for an update

*2025-06-03, version 1.0*

Just used the app to go and have a cheap Pint only to find that the recommended location doesn’t open until 4pm (currently 2pm here) yet they have advertised on the app from 12 till 10pm.

### 5/5 — Use it all the time even travelling

*2025-05-13, version 1.0*

Use this regularly even when travelling. Can’t pass up a special and can use it to pre-book places too! One of the best ones out there!

### 5/5 — So grateful!

*2025-01-31, version 1.0*

I don’t get out much these days, as I work lots of hours + am a part-time Carer. Grateful for this App as I can actually have a nice meal & a drink with my last $20! 
Great App

### 5/5 — Great value finder, and easy to use

*2024-08-07, version 1.0*

2-3 times a week I’ll be onto eatdrink. Up to date specials. Easy to navigate. What’s not to like!

### 3/5 — A good start

*2024-07-24, version 1.0*

But less powerful than the website - I can only search for “food” not “steak” on the app

I’d love the ability to search the entire week too, instead of day by day

### 5/5 — Awesome idea, well designed

*2024-06-05*

Not bad at all for a V1 of an app! Love the cute icons, and how many specials are available! It’s great that you can make a reservation straight from the app too!
Would love to know how to suggest places with specials and help get coverage in even more places around Australia (& beyond??)

### 1/5 — No relevant local deals

*2024-06-03, version 1.0*

Very few local partners that are of interested to me. Pretty useless. Uninstalled.

### 5/5 — Best specials site now even faster

*2024-05-24, version 1.0*

I’m a long time user of EatDrinkCheap. Love that I can now find a cheap way near me even quicker!

### 5/5 — Easiest way to find the nearest Parma special

*2024-05-24, version 1.0*

So so good to be able to quickly see which pub with which food specials is the closest.

Great at work when heading out with the team and deciding where to go.

### 2.0 — 2026-03-24

Hi friends, how you holding up? Between the cost of living and a world on fire, now's a good time to make finding cheap drinks and eats even easier. V2 finally adds what you've been asking for;
- Filter by the popular types so you can find just steaks, parm/a/i/y, pints or even our new bougie special type
- Search by suburb so you can plan ahead
- Search multiple days at once so you can scan a few days at once
- Finally moved the map overlay to the bottom that's been bothering me for years
- Cleaned up some of the terrible UI decisions I made back then
- Plus it's faster, less-buggy and loads pins progressively as you pan the map

More than 7,000 weekly deals nationwide updated this year and verified every 3 months.

Go find yourself something good tonight. You've earned it.
