FlyerView connects businesses and people through short-lived digital promotions. Looking for current deals, events, announcements, and updates? Or do you own a business and want a simple way to showcase your products, services, and promotions? FlyerView brings users and businesses together in one easy-to-use platform. Users can explore digital flyers from restaurants, stores, salons, gyms, entertainment venues, service providers, and other businesses. Flyers remain available in the main feed for approximately 24 hours, helping keep promotions current and relevant. Discover discounts, special events, announcements, new products, and limited-time offers. Follow businesses and receive notifications when they publish something new. Browse by category or use search to find businesses and promotions that interest you. Some flyers may include external links to websites, booking pages, delivery services, online stores, or social media profiles. These links open outside FlyerView in your browser. FlyerView may perform automated technical checks to help identify potentially unsafe URLs, but each business remains responsible for the content and destination of its external links. Businesses can create a public profile, add profile and cover images, provide contact and business information, and build a presence within FlyerView. Eligible Business Pro accounts can publish promotional flyers and use additional promotional features. Flyers normally remain in the main feed for approximately 24 hours. Businesses may also pin eligible flyers to their profiles for 3, 7, or 30 days. A pinned flyer remains visible only when someone visits the business profile and does not remain in the general feed beyond its normal availability period. FlyerView is more than a place to find deals. It helps people discover what businesses are offering now, while giving businesses a modern and direct way to increase visibility and present timely promotions. Getting started is simple: • Download FlyerView and create an account as a user or business. • Explore flyers and discover businesses. • Follow businesses to receive relevant updates. • Search for businesses, services, and promotions. • Create a business profile and use the available promotional tools. Privacy and safety are important to us. FlyerView may use approximate location while the app is in use to provide relevant content and search results. The app does not contain third-party advertising or use data for cross-app tracking. Users can report inappropriate content, accounts, covers, or external links for review. The interface is fast, modern, and designed to make discovering and sharing promotions simple.
