There is already a DansDeals app, but it only works for flip phones.

It's an Android app (APK) so I do not believe it "ONLY WORKS FOR FLIP PHONES."

(As they note, it's just a wrapper around the website, and has no special functionality.)

Here's the download link https://apps4flip.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/dansdealsviewer.apk

Some people are alot more quick to use something that has an app even if the website is almost identical...

Just gave it some thought, not a bad idea to create an app. It’s more direct to the audience - no need to wade through Telegram, WhatsApp, twitter to see deals, push notifications will let you know of a deal right when it’s posted.

It’s also a very convenient option for a kosher audience.

Is this analogous to people back in the day who used to enter a URL into Google instead of the address back?

Know of anyone that can design something simple without breaking the bank?

Also a psychological aspect to it IMO. People will feel more connected to Dansdeals if they have the app, sort of like a membership program…

Android app is simple enough, apple IME doesn't let an app that's a clone of a website unless there's some added functionality.

Push notifications?

Back in the day? You know how many people still do that and still think that google is their gateway to the world?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Shouldn't be too difficult.

There probably are a bunch of WordPress options

I think part of the question was if apple would consider push notifications a big enough advantage over the site.
