Hey guys,

First of all I want to thank everyone who downloaded the app when it first launched. I’ve received a lot of great feedback since then and have taken my time to implement each one.

Basically SAD is an Ozbargain app that is optimised for mobile viewing experience with tools such as comment navigation, card views, pie-chart, widget, statusbar notifications and more.

I’ve included a series of screenshots briefly going through the main features. Screenshots

Also, I just released a free version on the play store. Free version.

    Buying ozbargain app with Telstra credit. It is a great day to be alive

  • Darkhour on 15/01/2017 - 16:13

    Like this app.. nice work!

  • Kooratz on 15/01/2017 - 16:58

    Bought ! love OzBargain…

  • CB_TheTECH on 15/01/2017 - 16:59

    Just bought it. Great work.

  • shuffle1 on 15/01/2017 - 17:32

    Bought it. Nice work! I use the mobile site a lot so it's good to have an app for this.

    Some feedback:

    The New deals tab doesn't load for me, sat there waiting for a minute or two then gave up. I spend most of my time on the this page, so this is a big deal to me.

    Also the use of space could be improved. Only one line of the description (not title) shows when scrolling through, whereas on the mobile site I get 3-4 lines. These descriptions are often pretty crucial in whether I decide to click through or not.

    And just a small thing - the green upvotes box vs the red downvotes box aren't the same shape/size.

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 15/01/2017 - 17:36

      Thanks for the feedback shuffle.

      • I'll look into optimising the loading in the next update.

      • In settings > deal view modes > expanded card view : this will show more lines of the description.

      • Will also try to optimise the sizing of the vote buttons in the next update.

      • shuffle1 on 15/01/2017 - 17:53

        Thanks dev, great to hear.

        Changed to expanded card view. In this view you could have the description text go right across the width of the screen, rather than just the right hand space underneath the title. This would then use the white space on the left and you could fit more of the deal on the page.

        Just an idea.

        • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 15/01/2017 - 17:57

          Awesome. I could do that but there might be a large gap in between the title and description. I'll play around with it and see if I could make it work. Thanks.

        • shuffle1 on 15/01/2017 - 18:03

          @primatexD:

          Just thought of something else.

          In android web browsers when you scroll down the page, the address bar will disappear, and then when you scroll up, it will re-appear, in order to maximise screen real estate.

          You could do something similar and this would reclaim a large amount of space at the top of the page (both the sandwich menu bar as well as the tab bar) - space that can be used to show more deals :)

        • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 15/01/2017 - 18:08

          @shuffle1: I had the sandwich menu bar disappear onscroll on a previous update (same as play store app),however I changed it back because I felt that it was slightly awkward (might not have been used to it).

          Will definitely add it back in the next update and include an option to enable/disable this feature.

        • shuffle1 on 21/01/2017 - 13:58

          @primatexD:

          Awesome work! I see the disappearing onscroll now. And things load faster.

          I personally find that expanded card view gives too many lines of description (depending on how long the description is, it can go past 6 lines), while the standard view gives only one line which is too little. Would love if there was something in between, maybe 4 lines like in the mobile site?

          Also black text is easier to read than grey, especially when it comes to the lighter grey description text.

          Again, just small ideas.

          Keep up the great work!

        • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 21/01/2017 - 14:50

          @shuffle1: Thanks shuffle. I'll set the max lines to 4 for the expanded view and see how it goes. Next update should be out sometime tomorrow, hoping to include some other stuff in there as well.

    Does OzBargain have an API? How are you sourcing the data? Does OzBargain approve you are taking their content and replacing their ads with yours?

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 15/01/2017 - 17:52

      There's no API that I know of. But I did email Scotty before creating the app and have followed all the rules thus far such as not using ozbargain name in the title. Of course if Ozbargain does not approve of this then I'll respect that and make any changes needed.

      There's a line of apps on the store that not only uses the Ozbarain name and logo, they also just slap on a webview on top of the ads. Which any dev can create in less than an hour.

      • PainToad on 15/01/2017 - 18:17
        -1

        So you're scrapping their content (and content us members have contributed to), stealing their ad revenue and giving nothing back?

        • PainToad on 16/01/2017 - 17:16

          Why the vote down? I think it's a very valid point/question.

    • expertreader on 15/01/2017 - 18:02

      Google ozbargain api and you will see

  • 18 on 15/01/2017 - 18:06

    Any chance of making the widget showing a whole page of deals rather than just one? Cheers!

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 15/01/2017 - 18:10

      As in a full sized widget? I'll add it in the to do list!

      • 18 on 15/01/2017 - 21:22

        Exactly! Thanks :)

    I appreciate the work that goes into a well designed, functional app like this and appreciate even more a responsive dev.

    Keep the work up - just bought.

    Just bought. Fantastic design so far, lovely and clean material layout. Especially LOVE the positive vote animation, such a nice touch👊

  • joeno on 15/01/2017 - 21:43

    what's the main benefit of this over regular ozbargain website?

  • Chael Sonnen on 15/01/2017 - 21:49

    Thanks OP, just bought.

    Kind of looks like Sync for Reddit.

    Feedback: The pages load very slowly. Could be just me though..

  • Sundubu on 15/01/2017 - 22:07

    Bought thanks OP.

  • giventofly on 15/01/2017 - 22:30

    OP creates a paid app for OzB because OzB makes them broke with all the deals. Clever.

    Bought.

  • Snoop on 15/01/2017 - 23:07

    Hmmm… According to changelog the price has gone up 300% over the last 6 months.
    So 300% minus 66% give us… oh look, right back where we started! ;)

  • cloudie9 on 16/01/2017 - 00:38

    Used my free google credit. First impression pretty good. Now awaiting for ios.

  • Chigyver on 16/01/2017 - 02:34

    Oh man, you've made it so much easier using oxbargain on the phone. Thank you <3

    • BlazinPast on 16/01/2017 - 04:09

      Don't see how the app could improve the experience of oxbargain that drastically

  • paradoxez on 16/01/2017 - 02:37

    One issue I noticed when using dark theme is that the discussion title heading is barely readable (Greyish text on dark background)

  • bigkris74 on 16/01/2017 - 08:05

    Bought and using. Happy to support.

  • squeeb on 16/01/2017 - 10:15

    Thanks. Great app. I particularly like the layout and how easy it is to read. Also like the separate tab for forums, bookmarking and how easy it is to like a comment. These functions are not available on other apps and liking a comment on a mobile site is hard because those plus signs are so small.

    I couldn't get the up and down arrows to work in the widget (but it might be a MIUI thing because it is asking me to send a bug report). No biggie though.

  • Mickel07 on 16/01/2017 - 10:59

    Just purchased. Looks good. Are notifications for front page deals only?

  • 0zyt0zy on 16/01/2017 - 13:38

    Bought. My first monetary contribution to a fellow Ozbargainer. Thanks.

  • zacjanes on 16/01/2017 - 18:14

    Thanks, purchased.

    Could we please have an option to make New deals as default instead of Top deals?

      I like that idea. I'll include that setting in the next update.

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 20/01/2017 - 10:02

      Hey lagged. Just letting you know that you can make new deals the default from setting.

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 17/01/2017 - 17:39

      Thanks! Definitely wont be staying up there for long xD

  • spikiii on 18/01/2017 - 10:21

    Although i love the mobile site - happy to spend $0.99 worth of survey credits to support the community.

    Hoping to see regular updates, upvoting etc to come too

  • 4wd on 18/01/2017 - 11:55

    Bought it and it works fine on my phone (5.1.1) but it restarts consistently on my tablet (4.2.2) when it comes to loading any comments.

    ie. Deals will be displayed, tap on one and it will load but as soon as it comes to display the comments below, the app restarts.

    Not just Deals either, happens wherever comments are displayed, eg. Discuss.

    Happens on two tablets, both are 4.2.2, and affects both the paid and free version.

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 18/01/2017 - 12:07

      Sorry man. Do you get a window where you can report the crash? Unfortunately I don't have a tablet so I can't test it out myself but i'll see what I can do.

  • 4wd on 18/01/2017 - 13:39

    No problem, just mentioning it

    Yeah, it says 'Unfortunately, Aussie Deals has stopped.' Report/OK

    I'll fire off the report.

    Went to try it on an Android 4.0.3 phone but it's not compatible.

    EDIT: Dammit, meant to hit Reply.

  • rowshow on 18/01/2017 - 14:33

    Bought the app but when refreshing doesnt seem to have the latest at the top even in the "new" tab.

    Noticed there was an update overnight. Was working great before that

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 18/01/2017 - 22:53

      Hi rowshow, are you still experiencing the same issue? I aim to release an update tomorrow night and I hope to include as many fixes as I can.

      • rowshow on 19/01/2017 - 15:35

        yeah mate its still happening. No biggie just a bit of feedback

  • thehulk1969 on 19/01/2017 - 22:29

    Thanks OP. I like. Little bug on my Galaxy S5. When I try and add a bookmark and add a reminder it crashes/kicks me out. When I just add a bookmark without the reminder it's fine.

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 19/01/2017 - 22:42

      I just released a new update a min ago (will go live in a few hours) so I didn't get a chance to fix this issue :(. I'll add this to the list and will hopefully get it out in a update this weekend. Thanks for reporting it.

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 21/01/2017 - 14:53

      Hopefully reminders should be working now with the latest patch. Thanks for bringing this up

  • f38r1 on 20/01/2017 - 07:49

    What a bargain! I buy 2

  • Tinqer on 23/01/2017 - 15:43

    Not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but I put a bunch of stuff into the Wishlist a few days ago and still nothing has come up there?

  • belbo on 27/01/2017 - 10:29

    Looks good mate - however haven't paid (yet). I would if you could see both the "Top Deals" and "Front Page Deals" (as displayed on the side of the full site Browser "New Deals" screen). Your "Top" tab shows the "Front Page Deals" but not the "Top Deals" as shown on the full site. Any way to see the items the full site is showing as "Top Deals" - ie at the moment it is the ALDIMobile, $20 Uber promo, 24 KFC Nuggets, Hungry Jacks vouchers and Japan WiFI rental ? (ie the "Most voted deals from the last 7 days" according to the full site).

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 27/01/2017 - 10:53

      Hi belbo. Currently there's only the top deals from last 30 days under "popular" in the category tab. I can add another subcategory for the most voted 7 days.

      • belbo on 27/01/2017 - 10:55

        Thanks mate. I'd buy it then.

  • ausbob71 on 08/02/2017 - 12:19

    Hi just bought the app and it looks good but having an issue viewing tabled items for the grocery deals as the individual prices don't show up.

    • AssociatedprimatexD @ Google Play Luup Apps on 08/02/2017 - 13:15

      Hi bob. Thanks for bringing it up. I'll try to fix it and push an update this weekend.

  • mikezillakind on 09/02/2017 - 14:10

    will give this thing a try
