  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

What would you want to see in a DD app.

Likely just DDMS at this point.

@jj1000 It would be great to have notification filters by category, importance ETC. (Price mistake, flight deals, credit card deals, alive again)

What was the reason for creating it? Notifications?
My Tapatalk notifications don't always work.

The ability to hit a link direct to Amazon/walmart app without using a browser. Idk if that's possible but would be a great feature for those with a smartphone and browser blocked. Also not sure how that works with affiliate tracking when purchasing through an app...

Also, filters by keyword, so I can choose to get notifications for certain custom filters I create.

Is this for people without a browser, or a better experience?
Is it just WebView, or more?

What would you want to see in a DD app.

So here's a list of randomness...

A built in CC list that doesn't redirect to cardratings or anywhere else until I'm ready to apply, with links to DD latest articles/reviews next to each card.

A searchable section for "other deals" which weren't DDMS worthy, but were posted to DDF.

This is a super long shot, and probably more applicable to DDMS than an app, but a DD user review section for items. There have been a bunch of items I bought or didn't buy because of DDF reviews, where the outcome may have been different by just relying on Amazon or other sites' reviews.

FAQs. The same questions get asked a million times on DDMS. (General DDMS idea - ask a user feature. There are tons of people who will never actually join DDF who ask questions, and plenty of helpful and knowledgeable DDF regulars who are happy to answer. Can be a feeder to build FAQs.)

Built in page with DDF notifications, even if it redirects to a browser to see/read details.

Failing at maintaining Lurker status.

So in short, a built-in ChatGPT search bar

What audience would use the app that aren’t using DDMS or SM?

I think the basic answer to why make it is for convenience.

It's much more convenient to have a dedicated app for something you use a lot.

+1. If I understand correctly, Amazon affiliates still get paid when links are opened in the app, but I assume DD would have to give up on the data from tracking links.

I imagine this would benefit DD as much as the people using it, because without direct links, those with no browser would probably just copy/paste the item name to the Amazon app, and then DD doesn’t get their commission.

Would be great to have a button next to any promo code to copy the code, as opposed to having to manually select it and copy it, if that’s possible
