TechBargains: Deals & Shopping for Android
Over and over. When it works, love it.
I previously complained about the loss of the of favorites feature, but the improvement of the share feature sort of makes up for it. The loss of some of my preferred categories still bothers me a bit, but it's still a very good deal tracker.
There is no way to open a webpage in Chrome. Or open it in another app like Amazon so they I can order through that app.
Last update ruined it. Crashes more than to works !!!!
Last update ruined that app
While it's handy having so many deals all in one place, the latest UI update destroys usability. Please don't make us have to visit the menu just to switch categories - the swipe was so much better. The only complaint about the old UI was the category and list being reset each time the app was closed or switched away from. The idea about saving deals is great; maybe an optional notification via email or push when a saved deal is about to expire.
Various bug fixes and UI impairments. <--fixed that for you. - Categories are now hidden in menu, then a submenu. Speed kills, mm'Kay? - Saving favourite items for later or for reference is no longer possible. Live in the now, people. - All your previous saves have been deleted. Small is beautiful! - And last but not least, everything's prettier! Yeah, no thanks, Ziff Davis.
This was one of my "go to" apps before the latest update... Now I have to sift through a ton of crap to find what I'm looking for! Great job of "fixing" something until its broken!
The new UI is terrible, irresponsive, lacks previous features. What happened. No testing? It was my favourite deals app
This use to be a trusted platforms for new and good deals, but within the last six months this has just turned into paid advertisements for products. Half the products literally aren't even a sale and are just posted to look like a good deal. Often "deals" are misleading or wrong, such as more than half of the dell deals listed as containing a gift card don't. This app and website slowly moves towards being ad clickbait and less about helping consumers find actual deals.
Such a pain now to get to the items you want. What happened to all the different categories
Well done Ziff-Davis development team! App is improved since the prior update! Product description no longer being truncated. Also, can now view deals outside of the app - Huge BRAVO! One complaint remaining... app still feels sluggish and choppy as compared to two or three versions back. Similarly the initial load/launch time still seems to take too long. Thanks for listening to our comments! Note 3 stock firmware from AT&T, not rooted, Android 5.0
So Ziff Davis finally decided to ruin the app. They replaced the old/good app with this new app that's not worth using. I've read replies to reviews about adding back the old features as "new" features. Really basic stuff. Also noticed the web site of tech bargains has started ignoring deals not from "sponsored" stores. I've been using tech bargains since sometime in 2007. I looked at it multiple times a day every single day. Since the Ziff Davis purchase of tech bargains in 2013 their influence hasn't been bad until the last 6 months. Tech bargains has become stale and the app unusable. I'll have to find another deal app and website. It was a good run.
The new interface is absolutely terrible! Please bring the old app back asap. You took a huge step backwards.
Yay the categories are back! Can't mark an item as a "Favorite" any more. Missing that already! Good App. Finds me nice bargains on the Tech Stuff I Love!
downgraded to 1 star. All the recent five star ratings are for the old version.
How do I save the deal for later or share it? There are less categories to choose from now. Please bring these options back
I really dislike the new user interface. It is alot harder to find the deals that the old app had
New version is slow to open and once I find an item I like it opens in internal browser which is useless. Like so many before me I am considering just uninstalling this app.
Need to be able to save deals on new software. Also, landscape bugs where not all text shows up in landscape mode
Says no Internet connection. But that's not the problem.
Please bring back categories, I am actually thinking of removing as it isn't quick and as useful before.
Latest update... Fail.
Bring back categories please.
Nice improvement, looking forward to new cool features.
What happened?
Uninstalled...
Previous version was better
Used a ton of deal sites. Tech bargains is my favorite with well written explanations that let me know the powerful a given bargain may be 5/5. This app is useful but has a number of quirks and issues, especially around refreshing 3/5. Whole package is still worth it. You just may need to close and reopen the app a few times when it breaks.
Had used the old app for perhaps a year or more checking it daily; this piece of crap simply does not work. Thanks for the update, you deserve all the negative reviews!
This was my go-to app for deals. Visited the site daily. Then it updated to new version, which btw isn't compatible with my phone anymore. Why do you companies always INSIST on "fixing" what isn't broken??? Just can't leave well enough alone. Thanks for nothing Ziff Davis. You ruined my favorite app.
Great bargains all the time, however it's difficult to navigate once you've tapped on an external site. Either way It's the first place I go if I'm looking for anything electronic.
There's always good deals posted for the everdayer
Unstable, constantly crashes. App can access all your ACCOUNTS on your phone and your email address. Why??? This is NOT necessary for app functions!!! Developer needs to remove this permission from app to ensure privacy and no spying!
I am updating my review. Use to love this app...but now a large majority of the links will not open in my phone. So, if I'm out mobile and not near a desktop computer forget trying to see a deal, much less getting to it to make a purchase. Links simply don't work on my phone. Opens fine on the computer.
I've used a lot of daily deal apps, but this has kind have become my one stop shop for deals...if it's on sale it will be on here.
The deals seem nice, and when I Google them I can find them, but the in-app links won't open!
Fast, reliable and comprehensive. Appears well thought out and coded.
I have pick a few great offers just to go to the vendor site and it has a totally different price. Waste of time.
