Launching on Google Play for Android users recently (LINK<\/a>)\u00a0and iOS today\u00a0(LINK<\/a>), the new\u00a0Ben’s Bargains mobile app incorporates all the account functionality found on the main site in a compact, speedy\u00a0package with more features than our mobile Web version of Ben’s.<\/p>\n

The core new feature in the app\u00a0is mobile notifications. When you set a deal alert on a specific product, we will send you a mobile notification the second that it’s posted on the site (assuming you toggle notifications on). This way, you won’t miss out the next time we post deals that sell out in less than an hour.<\/p>\n

\"mobile-icons\"<\/a>Tied to your Ben’s profile, you can manage preferences\u00a0including Deal Alerts you’ve set on specific products, products that you have set as favorites\u00a0over time and products that you have recently viewed (either on the Web version of Ben’s or the mobile version).<\/p>\n

Similar to the main site, you have the ability to filter products by categories, stores and price range. You can also use the quick filters at the top of the app to see the latest deals, the hottest deals and your recently viewed deals.<\/p>\n

We’ve also includes easy icons to trigger specific events. Tapping the bell icon will set a Deal Alert on the product (and tapping it again will turn it off). The same goes for the heart icon, which triggers the favorite function.<\/p>\n

We also have a share icon on the deal page that allows you to share to Facebook, Twitter or via email.\u00a0Also similar to the main site, you can visit the deal page within the app to make comments as well as vote on comments left by others.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Google Play version is compatible with Jelly Bean and higher (Android version 4.0.3 and up). Our iOS version for Apple devices is compatible with iOS version 7.0 or higher.<\/p>\n
