Slickdeals: Deals & Discounts

There are other apps I use to get things at a discount, but this is by far the first app I check for deals. This isn't full of clear-out, leftover stock that didn't sell somewhere. Its deals are posted by other users and the is a comment section where people comment on their experience and on tech stuff, their expertise with some users asking if a certain product is comparable with their current setup, if there is a better deal, or not a deal at all. Users get reputation points so you see who comments and who posts deals. It's not a review section where you have to figure out which ratings are promoted or promotions. You can save deals to come back later and but and it tells you if the deal has expired and you can filter your feed to your preference. It takes a minute to get used to the layout but overall it has what the others are lacking.

Overall I really like the Slickdeals app. But what I hate is the automatic refresh of the page/tab that you are looking on. For example you are scrolling through the deals on a page and lets say you are half way through or wherever you are on that page of deals and then you switch to a different app and then you switch back to the slickdeals app and now you are back at the top of the list of deals and now you have to scroll down to find where you left off. It is really annoying to say the least. I wish there was a way to disable that. DEVELOPERS: Can you disable that? Can we go back to the old way where you pull down or push up on the page to refresh the page. Maybe when there are new items added to a particular tab there is a notice at the top saying “New items added. Pull down or push up on the page to refresh that tab”, or other simple notification. PLEASE and THANK YOU!

At its current state, this app is nearly unusable. Every couple seconds of scrolling, you will get an ad pop up between your deal list. This would be acceptable if that was it. But each time you get one of these ads (very frequently), your scrolling position on the deal list will be moved seemingly at random. The worst of it is that it can send you all the way back to the top of the page (good luck reaching where you were just at with the bombardment of ads on your way back down the list). If you’re looking for an incredibly frustrating experience, then this is the app for you in its current state.
