Glad you like it

If you have any feedback or suggestions let me know and I'll probably make the change if I understand the reason

Been playing with it and it looks to be a very handy app.

Thanks for removing my app from the mirror.

Does anyone have any features they would like implemented in v1.1.0? (v1.0.x will just be incremental fixes to fix problems with the software itself as opposed to new features)

As a personal feature I have asked HUKD to provide the link to the deal as opposed to the mobile site in the API to save needlessly loading the same data again

To fix:
There is a bit of an issue if you go to large number pages (e.g. 10 or so) where deals dissapear, I'll look into this.
There is some delay on a slow data connection, I'll look into having a loading icon on there so the app doesn't look like it has crashed/frozen and possibly a notification

Other ideas:
GPS interfacing with google maps to get directions to the nearest place (for finding the nearest Tesco's if there was a deal in Tesco's etc)
Searching by name or tag (so instead of using the API using some xml filtering, should give better results as not many people tag deals properly)

Those are the 2 ideas I have to improve it, if anyone else has any other ideas please let me know

Working fine on htc touch pro 2, far quicker than actually going on the website

Really useful utility, thanks for sharing..

[finlay666]

It was only in the other category tbh.... But it was competing with fully fledged windows apps. I would have loved to do an iPod/Phone one but no mac and no device to test on was a pretty big limitation

Will still certainly support it though in future and make improvements, apparently they will make a new improved API soon so will update the app with those changes

Really chuffed to find out I had won though, was in an internet cafe in Menorca checking emails to find that one saying I had won

[Flibb]

using your app on a daily basis, works perfectly for me. Congrats on the award you deserve it. Cant really think what else I would add, seems to do the job perfectly.
