Good point, I would love to see an Android latestdeals app or a frontend to the website. Would probably help bring in more viewers and allow people to engage faster on the move.

Welcome to LD 🙂

We don't have an LD app yet - however, we do have a Black Friday app that lists all the deals featured on the site - latestdeals.co.uk/black-friday-app and, despite the name, it works all-year round!

A fully-fledged app with the ability to like, comment, share, etc is a definite on our to-do list 👍

The like system came about from the community. The general consensus was that people wanted a positive system that didn't suffer from "unfair" downvotes without any rationale. "Likes" are something people are naturally familiar with from other social media and we figured comments were a better place for constructive criticism of a deal (rather than an anonymous downvote). The idea is with comments the original poster will understand why their deal might not be getting any likes and anyone considering buying the deal would be more informed.

Would be great to hear from both you and jakemoss any features you feel are lacking from the website that you think you'd need an app for. We definitely plan to have an app but if there's a short-term quick fix we can make to the website to improve things I'd be keen to have a stab at it!

Thanks Kelsey, I agree now come to think of it - a like system is far better then an anonymous cold vote as can be seen on at least one other deals site.

i’ll have a think on anything else that springs to mind that may benefit LD and will let you know via this thread but definitely a mobile dedicated app would help, I am having to use safari to post deals which takes a little longer then it would with an app, I will check out the Black Friday app though 🙂
