Try the New Ben's Bargains Android & iOS App! $0 at Ben's Bargains

$0
Update: The iOS version is now available as well! Full details on The Checkout.

We've launched the official Ben's Bargains mobile app for Android and iOS! The Android version can be downloaded on the Google Play store today.

The app adds Deal Alert mobile notifications as a new feature. Rather than just receiving an email alert, we can send you a mobile notification to jump on a deal that's just been posted.

Other features include the Favorites & Recently Viewed section, search and filter functionality as well as everything that comes with a Ben's account (leaving comments, comment voting, etc.).

This is version 1.0 of the app, compatible with Jelly Bean (4.0.3 and up) and version iOS 7 and up. For version 1.1 of the app, we are planning to add deal box info like price history, the Amazon price, and the shopping compare tool.

We would love to hear feedback / suggestions on the app! We will be continuing to improve it over time. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Excellent! The app is fantastic. Unlike the mobile page this app keeps loaded item list on screen when I hit back from the item detail page.

Looks good. Question though: Is there a way to see "at a glance" how many people may have commented on a particular listing? It appears as though this information is not visible until you actually select a particular item/deal, whereas on the website it is visible "at a glance" when scrolling through the list of deals.

Holding out for an app that plays theme music appropriate to each deal. ;)
