### 4/5 — Pretty alright

*2025-07-07, version 2.0*

The app is good, but I have two easily fixable complaints about the notifications:

1. It always sends two notifications when the new deal drops, which is excessive. One would suffice. (Edit: after leaving this review, it now gives me THREE notifications every night. This is even more excessive.)

2. The notifications come right at midnight (in my time zone), which is usually at least 10 seconds before the deal is actually available to view. I’d love if the notification could come 20 or 60 seconds later.

### 2/5 — Good app… unless a mehrathon is happing

*2024-07-11, version 2.0*

This app is great for getting a notification to click on every day to check out meh… unless a mehrathon is happening where new products come out every hour or more for a full day, because you will never know. It hides the countdown timer and banner that shows it is a mehrathon 🤬

I mean it is meh.com, so I’m not missing out on too much, but still this is needed functionality. If you are going to redirect every click on the product first for analytics, then you can figure this out.

### 2/5 — Clunky. Doesn't work easily

*2023-10-10, version 1.2*

Clunky.

### 4/5 — Works fine

*2023-03-22, version 1.2*

I don’t love that when the deal changes, the app invites me to “checkout”  the latest deal.  (Maybe the developer is not a native English speaker.)

### 3/5 — Dead in the water.

*2023-02-04, version 1.2*

The app isn’t working. Receiving error code 3840. “The data couldn’t be reached because it isn’t in the correct format. “

### 2/5 — Please make notification preference persist

*2022-03-19, version 1.2*

This app is probably abandoned but it drives me crazy getting push notifications at 11pm every night. I’ll go in and turn them off and a week later they’re back on again. 

Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Where’s the Check-In Icon

*2021-08-12, version 1.2*

App is decent but the check in icon is missing.  To bad 😫

### 4/5 — It's pretty ok

*2019-04-02, version 1.2*

So Meh has it right. Some of the deals are meh, some of them worse than meh, but once in a while the deal is rock solid. And the good deals go fast, so having it on your phone is necessary. There's nothing worse than seeing something you can't live without and seeing it sold out. The stories are fun, shipping's cheap and the comments are salty. It’s not Woot, but Woot isn’t Woot either. So what else do you want? Why are you still reading this?

### 3/5 — No Meh Button, no Meh Icons

*2018-05-21, version 1.2*

Seriously, this app is kinda meh. I hope that is only a coincidence.

Please update to support Meh Button/faces and iPhone X.

### 1/5 — Adware

*2025-04-01, version 2.0*

Totally low effort app, meh can’t get any meh’er because it just injects an affiliate link to all your views. Worse than expired food Meh sends out. Doesn’t have previous items, comments, meh-ra-thin support, but they’ll gladly take commission for all your purchases!!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-02-09, version 1.2*

Worthless, doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2023-02-06, version 1.2*

Several days ago the app stoped working. 
Error code 3840. Fix it!

### 1/5 — If only I could order...

*2023-02-06, version 1.2*

The app mostly works to show me what today’s deal is. But it never works to buy! Always just says “something’s gone wrong.” Usually I wind up going to the web browser and buying that way. But sometimes it’s just too meh trouble.

—-

I don’t remember writing the above, but now it’s 2023, and it seems that meh.com has changed the structure of its JSON output, and Pretty OK is no longer OK at all. 

Don’t bother installing until and unless there’s a new version, dated Feb 2023 or later.

### 1/5 — Stopped working early 2023

*2023-02-04, version 1.2*

App has stopped working as of this past week.

Meh has apparently changed the formatting of their postings and the app no longer recognizes the code.

All that comes up is “Error: The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. (3840)”.

One star review will stand unless/until the developer updates and the app begins working again.

### 1/5 — App not opening.

*2023-02-04, version 1.2*

Data couldn’t be read because of incorrect format 3840. I’ve had this app years and it suddenly stopped working. It’s updated. I deleted and redownloaded and still the same thing.

### 1/5 — Ok

*2020-07-11, version 1.2*

The meh site is pretty lousy. It doesn't work unless connected to strong WiFi. Very inconvenient when out and about.

### 1/5 — Change age rating

*2019-06-02, version 1.2*

This app needs to change the age rating based on the language used in today’s (June 2, 2019) item description. 

Over all the app experience is very low (but what’s to be expected with an app called “ok”

Items offered are usually not worth even worth the time to view. Every once in a while there will be a useful item - one in 50 times. 

Overall the app isn’t worth it. I was hoping for an old-school woot experience, but this is a spin-off not worth the time.

### 1/5 — Bl

*2019-01-08, version 1.2*

UPDATE.  I CANT GET IN THR APP. IVE BEEN VIP FOR YEARS.   NOW. EITHER APP DOESNT WORK 
OR YOU HAVE BARRIERS UP

### 1/5 — Love the app. Hate the profanity in advertising copy

*2018-10-03, version 1.2*

Fun, irreverent presentation of meh! Products. 
Some good, most bad - but still I buy more. 
Until now - giving up the app as the repetitiously profane ad copy just isn’t cool.  To me. To my house. 

To some, potty words may be cool, but not here. 
bye y’all.  There are other apps that offer easy access to crappy products without being 
profane. 

It’s not you. 
It’s me.

### 5/5 — Everything at a glace

*2026-01-24, version 2.0*

The notifications and widgets make this a Meh-have.

### 5/5 — Wasn’t working but now it does

*2023-02-16, version 1.2*

Looks like a change at meh.com broke this for a bit. As of today it is working again.

### 5/5 — Another Crazy Customer

*2022-04-28, version 1.2*

I must like it, I’m ordering so much they automatically added me as a member. I don’t order everything but I have yet to get anything that I’ve been disappointed.  Love it all, and I love the funny stories and the crazy attitude, my kind of people!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Still Pretty OK

*2021-09-08, version 1.2*

It’s a testament to the quality of this app (and the consistency of the Meh API) that even six years after the last update it still works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Fun and Affordable Shopping

*2020-04-16, version 1.2*

One day, one deal.  Get it before it sells out or 24 hours have passed. Not everything is great, but it is definitely Pretty OK! Shipping is really very reasonable as well.  They offer a great story, comparison pricing,  and the forums offer real life feedback. Worth it!

### 5/5 — Like Christmas every day

*2019-12-04, version 1.2*

Ok, not every deal is my cup of tea, but they’re certainly varied and surprising. I really enjoy the stories, the descriptions, the specs. And the product reviews are usually funny. 

The app works well for me. I can toggle back and forth to get more information on a particular item if I want to do some comparison shopping.  Checkout has been simple and easy. You guys need to teach app writing to some of the other app guys.

### 5/5 — Excellent support

*2019-10-18, version 1.2*

You would almost expect with an app like this that support would be non-existent.  Not true! Responsive and helpful. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — This app rules

*2019-03-02, version 1.2*

Great app for Meh!

### 5/5 — Pretty good app

*2018-11-30, version 1.2*

It gets the job done. I like that I get a reminder since I forget otherwise and I can easily take a quick look to see if there is anything good, which there normally isn’t, but this app makes it much easier to check quickly and get on with my day.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2018-07-31, version 1.2*

When I heard the daily single deal was back I was delighted.  One never knows what is going to show up, but every once in awhile I take the plunge and make a purchase.  What you see is what you get.
