Spreets launches phone app

Group Buying site Spreets has launched a phone app.

The announcement:

Spreets today announced the launch of the Spreets app, making it even easier for customers to buy and manage group buying deals on-the-go.

As well as being able to purchase deals on the go the app has an easy to use voucher management function, ’a voucher wallet’, which can schedule reminders for booking times and voucher expiry dates for vouchers purchased from any group buying provider.

Research has shown that group buying customers often buy deals from numerous sites, making it difficult for users to keep track of vouchers from multiple sources. The Spreets app for iPhone lets users manage all the purchases by aggregating all deal vouchers in a single accessible place, no matter which group buying site they were purchased from.

“We wanted to do something different with this app that helped take customers’ mobile deal experience to the next level. Of course you can still do all the usual things, like easily purchasing deals on-the-go, but this app goes beyond what has been previously available to group-buying customers,” said Dean McEvoy, CEO of Spreets.

“From a consumer’s perspective this isn’t a Spreets app – this is a group buying app and by including the ability to bring all your purchased deals together in the one place we’re leading the way in mobile group buying.”

The app also delivers an easy browsing and purchasing experience for Spreets deals. Users can sort deals according to the percentage they will save, or by category to make it easier to find the deals they’re interested in.

The launch of the app is the next step in addressing the needs of the Spreets rapidly expanding mobile audience. In the past year, the number of people visiting the Spreets mobile site has increased by over 230 percent, with revenue growing by 125 percent.

To download the free Spreets app, please visit the iTunes store.
