Complete and utter garbage

Users can post a listing of a game from
Steam that looks like it was made within 30minutes to an hour and that will get hundreds if not thousands of upvotes but the moment you make a new account and post a good/interesting deal on a graphics card, they will ban you for ‘spam’ instead of saying that there was a mistake in the listing. Also censoring valid criticism of this website like the mods is a wild thing to do. I would rather rely on deals from elsewhere than this even if that meant I would find no good alternatives than this.

Bad user design

The adverts on the app are too sensitive. Trying to initiate a scroll from anywhere near the ad will act as a click and direct you to the advertiser. Suspect this is by intent. It’s frustrating And the worst thing about the site.

Why have HUKD owners have destroyed this app?

New interface dysfunctional. They’ve lost so many users like me.

Gone downhill

Some of the deals on this app are great and I used to love this app. - hence 2*. But there are now a lot more promoted deals which aren’t actually deals and just make the app more money.

Also it seems mods and users that have been on the site for years will delete comments/posts and just generally attack users who aren’t as active because they ‘know more’.

People take the site far too seriously. Not sure how an app that posts deals can become toxic it’s hilarious. If you can download it and somehow manage to avoid promoted deals, mods and most of the community then it’s a decent app

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing it. We’re committed to improving both deal quality and community interactions. Please contact us with any specific issues so we can address them directly.

App owners selectively curate comments.

App owners selectively curate comments so you don’t get a full balanced view of a deal, product or retailer.

Not a great app

comments sections are full of idiots and if you call these idiots “idiots”hotukdeal gets upset

Bullies

The admins of this app are simply bullies. They rule you are doing self advertisement (false statement) and block your account without being able to appeal. Seems like the publication of deals are only left for a few selected accounts and not letting “normal” users earn votes as they automatically ban you.

Their update: “our communities have rules in place to ensure our community is presented with unbiased content, conversations are friendly.”

My update: I haven’t published any biased content and my conversations were never unfriendly. You also haven’t showed any proofs of your claims. Therefore, my original review stands.

All of our communities have rules in place to ensure our community is presented with unbiased content, conversations are friendly and the time they spend with us is as enjoyable as possible.

Unmanageable

Since the upgrade, the APP IS UNUSABLE

Being ruined with updates

Another developer determined on ruining their own app with each new update. I often look at the hottest list, and when clicking on a deal, then scrolling to the comments, the back button is gone.

Crashing - Fix Incoming

App crashing constantly completely unusable must be from new update as worked fine before

Latest update broke the search function

After the last update can not long search. Constantly fails.

Changed for the worse

New UI is terrible. Constant crashing when comments load.

What went wrong?!!

This app used to work well but now it freezes all the time. It’s just useless now!

Crashing every time

Crashes consistently on any deal

Buggy

Keeps freezing as I’m scrolling I’m trying to read comments, have an iPhone 17 pro max 2TB

Latest update freezes on comments

Scrolling the comments freezes the app, please fix

App keeps freezing

App keeps freezing

Doesn’t work properly in ios26

The app constantly freezes and ends up crashing in ios26, especially if you try to type a comment.

The app force you to the “hot” tab when you open a category, it was “new” before, which is a waste of time and frustrating.

Toxic!

Small part of the community are toxic and ruin the app interaction. The mods are Toxic and do nothing.
Toxic ethics focusing on accidental clicks and deals that benefit HUKD more than users..
HUKD you know I’m right…

Terrible app

Dont let you post deals that are free. I thought free stuff was a good deal, but according to the admins it is not. Wont be using this app anymore.Also got a message from the dev saying i would be banned if i keep voting stuff down. Even though i voted more hot than cold.
