Conclusion
This app has the benefit of HUKD’s decent database of deals, but will naturally provide the best coverage for those shopping in big name stores who issue deals nationwide, rather than small independent shops, where deals may not be reported.
The reviews (especially on the Android version) suggest there may be some usability and compatibility problems that need ironing out in future versions.
Fantastic! I’ve been using hotukdeals for some time now, and this app sure is great to use when your doing your weekly shop.
