## What is LightningBug?

Early Access! 
Catch a great deal! LightningBug won’t sting you like other deal apps!
Stop signing up for everyone else’s junk mail selling you junk they don’t want.  Get discounts on only the things you want with LightningBug.

Use LightningBug to get real-time access to hot, local deals free of charge. You control when, where, what category, and how many deals you get each day.  

If getting a push notification or text about half-off tickets to the local dirt track race that you have never heard of before sounds like something awesome then sign up for LightningBug!
Or, you know, ½ off opera tickets or drinks happens too.  
Choose only the types of deals you want, when you want them and how many you want in each day.

So go ahead – follow that light into the forest, eat that bread before it goes stale, fill that concert seat or hotel bed, and suckle on the fruit before it drops from vine!

How does it work?
https://lightningbug.betaplanets.com/privacy-policy/Choose which categories of deals you would like sent to your phone. Set the day, time of day and how many deals you want to get in that time frame. Provide an area you want the deals to come from. LightningBug will notify you of each short-term deal that meets your criteria. Try new things, get the items you need/want at discount prices and get experiences you can’t get anywhere else.
