Big Deal. - My finally completed meh.com iPhone app (unofficial)

nmassenkoff shared some links said Wed, Mar 25th 2015 at 3:29pm ET

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you guys know that the meh.com iPhone app that I've been working on the past couple of months is finally finished. Please check it out and let me know what you think. My main goals were to create something lightweight with as little chrome as possible, and to allow people to receive new deal notifications any time they wanted.

I'm still ironing out a couple bugs so if you guys experience any crashes I apologize in advance ;-)

Download the app here:
Big Deal. for iPhone

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, you can comment on this post or if you'd like to provide non-public feedback you can contact me at:
Big Deal. for iPhone Contact

For general information about the app and me, you can check out the website at:

Hey this looks pretty awesome! We just have one small request -- please make sure to note that this is an unofficial fan app on your site and in the app store. We don't want people to get the idea that we know what we're doing.

- @nmassenkoff I still think you could be in trouble. You only said it wasn't affiliated with the "awesome people at meh.com." What about the rest of them? Just sayin... :)

How much will it cost me to get rid of that annoying banner ad? ;-)

- @joelmw hmm I'm planning on adding an in-app purchase to remove them. I'd rather not have any ads but I do have to pay for a server to run the notifications and I'm unfortunately not rich :-(

- @nmassenkoff Totally understandable. And I'm serious. Of course, I'm also cheap. But I'd pay something.

Typo in settings screen (as seen above) - should say […] your current time zone.

- @nmassenkoff Wow, that's very rare. You got a positive comment out of @unixrab. Mark this down on the calendar because that's as rare as a blue moon.

- @unixrab The word "moon" is not possessive. Anyway, they are rare. On average, it occurs once every 2.7 years. If you use the original meaning of a blue moon (The 3rd of 4 full moons in a season), the last one was on August 21, 2013 and the next one will be on May 21,2016.
  
  Using the modern day definition of having two full moons in the same month, the last one was on August 31, 2012 and the next one will be on July 31, 2015 followed by another one on January 31, 2018.

- @unixrab So I sort of gave you a compliment because I said you saying something nice is as rare as a blue moon and I didn't say as rare as a presidential election.

- @nmassenkoff You must be using the modern definition and, therefore, your birthday was August 31, 2012.

- @cengland0 Yep, August 31st. I went out and bought a lotto ticket thinking maybe it was a sign. Alas it was just as uneventful as every other birthday, lol

Looks great. Now I won't forget and I can finally get a meh streak of more than two in a row. One thing though- It looks like in the absence of a "meh" button, I'll have to click on "I want it" to go be taken to the web site in order click "meh". That's against my religion.

- @tallrob Wow, I never thought about it from that angle before, but you're totally right. Next version will have a meh. button for sure! Thanks
