Bargain Alerts App (for iPhone / iPod Touch)

Basq

Some big news here for Bargain Alerts.

Since Bargain Alerts is regularly in the top 3 visited forums on Boards, it was chosen as a test candidate for an iPhone app.

This has been in development for a while now by Conor and Ross and they just got approval from Apple and it's now available in the App Store.

You can search for 'Boards.ie' in the App Store or click below to download it:


http://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/boards-ie-bargain-alerts/id375121227?mt=8

It's free for a certain period but will cost €0.99c thereafter!

Any feedback as usual is appreciated!

PS - an Android version will hopefully be coming soon!

If there's no android version then I'm destroying my phone and the entire apartment complex that houses my phone.

As I mentioned above, not yet unfortunately.

Conor and Ross have mentioned they'll get working on one soon.. but to be honest, they're aiming at the Apple fanboys (like myself) who have more money than sense... and grab for anything shiny and white.

It is free for a limited time..

.. as in if you download it now, you'll never have to pay for it.

Would it not be better to burn down Basq's place. I know where he lives. Well, I know the town where he lives.

Many have come and tried my friend..

.. I've had three arsonists tonight.

And let's not even mention the three people who came to my house trying to burn it down!

It's nice to get a free app from iTunes for a change. Thanks Basq - works great.

cee_jay

Thanks Basq. Just installed it. Looks pretty good. Now fingers crossed it's rolled out across all forums soon.

RoyalMarine

It took a while to get going but that could be down to my dodgy phone.

I fixed the link a couple of minutes ago as it was incorrect..

.. try again!

Pigwidgeon

Nothing happens when I click the link on my iPod touch, it just comes up q blank page.

Orion

Did you delete your cookies?

Cant find this in Apps store from my iTouch.
Cant change region to UK as mentioned above because it says I have store credit and have to spend before I can change region.
Any chance of it being available in Ireland?

Pigwidgeon

Yeah. Also nothing coming up when I search boards.ie in the app store.

It took me a while to find it on the App Store as well, I think there's a problem with Apple's server. But I finally got it installed and I'm posting from it now. Very cool, but still a bit buggy.

Oh and screw the Android version. It's not needed. Let them get a proper phone.

You're an arsonists delight (each and every pun distended) but what category does this come under?
Searched high and low, mostly low.

Well done!
I liked it so much, I bought the company!

Otis Driftwood

Savage,thanks Basq!:D

quarryman

Link doesn't work and can't find app in app store.

lindtee

Thanks Basq, also installed the Mustard Forum Recipe App, I loves my mustard and was finding it harder and harder to find recipes that included it. *Thumbs up*

mcgovern

Doesn't show up in the app store for me either, and downloading through itunes is more trouble than its worth.

Edit: Nice one

Gulliver

I installed this and I think it bricked my iPhone!!! I got error code 1009 "Cannot install app" although it's already there. Then it said COMM_APP_FAILURE Press CMD+OPT+ESC. How do I do this?? A reset didn't work either. I need this phone guys! It's a 3G if that's any help.

mrsweebri

Downloaded here and working no problems. Great app!

Das Kitty

I installed it, but honestly it's crap. Glitchy as fupp. Already uninstalled. :mad:

billius

I installed it and it worked great for about 5 minutes. Now my iphone won't switch on....have tried resetting...what gives OP...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY PHONE!!

michelledoh

Nice one, little bit buggy but hopefully that will be worked out.

phasers

Will this app still allow me to discuss the ethical implications of buying cheap chicken?

dodzy

Give it a wide berth for the moment me thinks :rolleyes:

whiterebel

I can't find it either, on the UK or Ireland stores, and the link on the website won't bring me to iTunes.......Not a good sign:o

D/C

Working great on the iPhone 5!

MoodeRator

Working great on my Android SGS, though the GPS seems a little out

Mr E

Sorry I'm not full of gushing enthusiasm about this..... it doesn't behave itself on a jailbroken ipod touch. It crashed on me, twice.

Are we beta testers now, or did it go through any kind of testing at all before it was published?

Uninstalled.

Soarer

Don't know if it's a glitch, or if it's because Basquille was involved in the development, but all it shows me is bluray bargains!

phill106

actually im not sure about this, it shows different ads, most of them involving webcam girls who seem to want my credit card details.
WTF?
Has the ad side of it been compromised?

ibarelycare

Any chance of getting this on my Nokia 3210?

mailforkev

Awesome app.

Worked for me by changing to the UK store too.

Aldebaran

Amazing. I like the way you get special bargain alerts just for people who use the app.

*awaits the Android version*

Is there a way to get this to work on my Sega Megadrive?

Yeah.
You just slot your iPhone into where you'd normally slot the game cartridge, the iPhone will recognise the Megadrive, and sync accordingly.

At least that's what happened when I tried it with my SNES earlier on!
