Entertainment: Coupons & Deals app good for
Really maximizes Entertainment coupon book...Ill be using more coupons now with this app..Outstanding. Easy to sign in...found my location and showed results I wanted very quickly.
I havent actually tried to use the any coupons yet by showing my phone or key tag but I like this idea. Activating online using this app was easy. I scanned the barcode from the book, downloaded this app, and activated my card in a couple minutes. Searching categories and distance is straight forward. Just make sure to allow your location to be turned on for this app. Feels like this will be a useful compared to having to search the index of the book.
This app was very handy while on vacation. The best feature is that it quickly shows you nearby offers, which you can easily filter down by catagory. You can even redeem some discounts by displaying the discount on your iPhone. Great 1st gen app that will only get better with time.
Would be nice if all the coupons were listed in the App and if there were a larger variety and if more merchants accepted the mobile redemption option rather than relying on the paper coupon version.
Overall, quite easy to use.
It’s working ok. Easy to save when you dont have your book.
Love it! Works great. As soon as I signed in, it pulled up everything right away. No more flipping through the book to find the close deals!
Some bad moments
This has the potential to be a very useful companion to the Entertainment book.
Unfortunately, the filters are a complete mess. Furthermore, a quick check of specific offers from the book showed that they were not reported in the app.
I look forward to a properly tested release.
I really like the idea of this app, no more flipping through the thick book to find coupons of interest.
Unfortunately, not all the coupons in the book show up in the app. Ive updated the filter to include up to 100 miles, but some coupons that are in the book just dont exist in the app (yes Ive tried every single category). Thats a bummer, because it means I still need to manually scan through the book so I dont miss anything.
The latest version no longer works on my iPhone, loads the initial screen an hangs.
This is a great.... When it works!
You would think the main draw of this app would be to not have to carry coupons everywhere and be able to spontaneously use a coupon while youre out and about. Apparently not.
Most of the coupons in this app (Vancouver version) REQUIRE the coupons to be printed to be used. This is incredibly annoying and definitely not as useful as potential customers are made to believe. A number of coupons also expire well before the one year period that the book covers. Additionally, for paying the same price as the book, the app features FEWER coupons.
Be careful before buying!
I wanted to be able to search all the coupons available by location, but this app search omits a LARGE number of coupons in the book. So, the book has a number of special offers in your area, but you wont find them all with the app!!
Customer service couldnt fix the problem, so looks like you need to read through the book to see it all. Very dissapointing!!
In comparison to other competitors offering online coupons and deals, this app needs a ton of work to become truly useful:
1. the map function is useless. It only shows a set view. You cant scroll to another location to see whats available. Its only available in a general search and not when looking up via a category. You cant search using the map.
2. many coupons still need to be printed…so, youre on the road, look up a place, and the app says "print this coupon". Like, yes, I always carry a printer in my pocket. Not!
3. when searching and looking up places it always brings me back to page 1 of the search screen. An irritant if I am looking at another search page and need to keep on scrolling to the next pages each time
4. Inaccuracies…like showing places that are 30 miles away as being only 0.7 miles away.
5. Buggy…frequently if I exit the app then go back I get a repeating error message popping up. I have to totally quit the program to fix the problem.
Cmon Entertainment folks, if you dont get with it quickly, your competitors will (if they havent already) stomp all over your coupon business. You are one of the oldest companies in this line of business and I would hate to see a good thing go by the wayside because the use of online technology hasnt been fully embraced.
