OzBargain deals on iOS - Free BargainDesk app

BargainDesk on 16/05/2011 - 12:07

Hi, apologies for the late announcement.
I just saw someone mentioned the BargainDesk App on the "OzBargain Android App" deal. Thanks to iish and asa79.

I'm still in the process of improving the app and gathering feedbacks in the forum
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/44491

But feel free to download it and post your feedbacks in the forum.

You can also go to the settings view to toggle off the feeds you do not want to retrieve.
Also, don't forget to change your default city in the Settings view (Current default is Sydney).

    Like the android app this probably belongs in the forums, mods will discuss this as well and maybe move BOTH

    • samfisher5986 on 16/05/2011 - 13:00

      New releases and major improvements for something ozbargain related seems appropriate to me.

          Good boy. Now go to the android app and neg that too

        • Hintswen on 16/05/2011 - 17:08

          Wow, so many negs on jv's comment even though he is right.

          If anyone posts a deal on a freebie that has always been free, everyone negs the deal, btu because this is a Ozbargain app, no one negs it.

    • uraha on 16/05/2011 - 16:21

      free ozbargains promotional tools should be exempt from the forums

    Is this a war between iOS and android?

      valid comment, but why the neg?

        because it's not a bargain. you aren't saving any money by purchasing this…

  • scrimshaw on 16/05/2011 - 14:00

    if you want more people to use your apps why not get Scotty to stick a banner ad or a permalink on ozbargain. I'm sure he won't mind since it will attract more visitors to the site.

    Or at least we can put it into the wiki but nobody reads it…

    • Orte on 16/05/2011 - 15:39

      If I understand correctly, this is not an official OzBargain app (and I believe it's one thing the developers need to mention in the app description).

      If OzB starts to endorse this app and later it's found to contain malware, whether intentionally or not, that won't be pretty.

  • sushiyasha on 16/05/2011 - 14:19

    how come the apps for android got +ve vote like crazy and this one got some -ve vote? can some1 explain it for me?

      because the Mods are not following their own rules and moving this to the forums…

    i get that the apps aren't strictly a "bargain", but i do prefer major ozbargain-related posts like this get posted on the main page as i don't have the time to keep completely up to date with the forum posts (that is to say, i seldom go there)

    in any case, they could be argued to be a bargain in the indirect sense - they allow you to attain bargains and in that sense are bargains and of themselves, just sayin

    • jv on 16/05/2011 - 15:41

      i get that the apps aren't strictly a "bargain",

      they are when you normally pay for them and then they are free or reduced in price for a short period of time…

      if they are always free, they are not supposed to be posted here according to the rules… in the past, all these posts have been moved to the forums… i don't understand why these ones are not being moved… probably because it is about Ozbargain and creating some free advertising ????

      • Damo on 16/05/2011 - 15:44

        Perhaps you could start a new site emotional-ozbargain.com.au it's where we can go to shed a tear

        • jv on 16/05/2011 - 15:45

          Perhaps you don't seem to think others should post opinions here that don't agree to your own ???

        • Damo on 16/05/2011 - 17:51

          I love ice cream

  • Adamiam on 16/05/2011 - 15:41

    This actually looks really great, and actually useful.
    Seems a bit biased towards android that the other app got so many positives, whereas this app which is arguably better hasn't gotten nearly as many.

    Free apps which are always free are not a bargain. Move it to the forums.

    • uraha on 16/05/2011 - 16:17

      its promoting ozbargains.

      • Hintswen on 16/05/2011 - 17:11

        how is it promoting ozbargain? WE ARE ALREADY HERE! We already know ozbargain exists, this is NOT a bargain and should be in the forums.

    I'm with cheapo.one, anything that is directly OzBargain related should be allowed to be posted on the main page for the benefit of those that don't view the forums.

    It's not like stuff like this appears every day, or even every week for that matter.

      • timmye on 16/05/2011 - 16:42

        dude, get over it. the people have spoken.

        none of those apps you linked to are ozbargain site related anyway.

        • jv on 16/05/2011 - 16:54

          they are apps for finding bargains…. same type of app as this one…

      • sushiyasha on 16/05/2011 - 17:06

        jv, why are you so active in this thread while you didn't post any comment or neg vote for the android apps thread ?
        And for those apps that you post, they are not related to OzBargain :D so they shouldn't get post in the front page.
        P.s: thanks for the link tho, i downloaded them all :D

        • jv on 16/05/2011 - 17:08

          you didn't post any comment or neg vote for the android apps thread ?

          i reported that thread be moved… there's not point in posting a comment after there were already so many votes… if i got in early enough, i would have negged that one too…

          you'll see on the first post in this one that some mods also think this does not belong here…

        • jv on 16/05/2011 - 17:09

          And for those apps that you post, they are not related to OzBargain :D so they shouldn't get post in the front page.

          the only ones that i post are always REDUCED IN PRICE for a short time, so you would save money… as per the posting rules…

    I'd like to negative this…..i feel i'm paying too much for this app

  • Hintswen on 16/05/2011 - 17:12

    neg vote because this is not a deal and should be in the forums.

    • jv on 16/05/2011 - 17:18

      This is Australia, so now expect to get treated like all the other minorities… ;)

      • [Deactivated] on 16/05/2011 - 17:45

        H & J Reports noted and now acted upon but look at the consistency - your comments in both posts (IOS and Android) are consistent but voting was slighly different.

        • Hintswen on 16/05/2011 - 19:33

          If you mean teh posts, I negged this one and I thought I negged the other (but what I last checked it said I didn't even vote!)

          If you mean comments I may have mis-voted.

  • maybeamacy on 16/05/2011 - 17:36

    THIS IS THE BEST APP DEAL POSTED ON OZBARGAIN. WOO.

  • kheob on 16/05/2011 - 17:38

    What's with the Android drones? In the other thread any IOS support is immediately negged. In this IOS thread any mention of IOS is also negged!

    I'm beginning to feel quite oppressed.

    • jv on 16/05/2011 - 17:40

      they have an inferiority complex…

  • jv on 16/05/2011 - 17:44

    Common sense prevails and the minority finally has a win… :P

    • [Deactivated] on 16/05/2011 - 17:48

      Yes and no - I made the comment in the FIRST post here that we were looking into this.

      You know Mods do have other lives, and it looks like many of us where having Sunday evening off at the same time hence the Droid app got away - interestingly the excitement of getting any App on the Android was so overwhelming that even though it's probably a pre beta, they couldnt contain that excitement.

      • kheob on 16/05/2011 - 18:05

        Boom tish!

      • Hintswen on 16/05/2011 - 19:33

        The app wasn't "pre-beta" or even "beta" That is release quality of that publisher, a glorified RSS Reader.

      • tyler.durden on 17/05/2011 - 00:35

        If it had been posted in the forum, no one here would know about it.

        • Hintswen on 17/05/2011 - 02:01

          So all the other things posted on the forum should be posted as deals so everyone will see it?

  • CyberMurning on 17/05/2011 - 08:39

    everything that promote ozbargain kind of stuffs must be posted both in forum and deal page! come on, we got alot of benefit for this website, a little bit different treatment would not harm, as a thank you gesture.

  • BargainDesk on 24/05/2011 - 12:14

    Hi, just a quick update. V1.0.3 is now available for download.

    This includes a refresh button for some views. Thanks to all who pointed that out to me.
