Cannot set location services to while using app. Hard pass on stalker apps. The excuses given on previous reviews are deliberately misleading, there is no excuse for forcing people to be tracked by a coupon app! UPDATE: the excuse that my review, and almost all reviews that criticized the obvious privacy infringing tracking policy, is bull. If the excuse give we’re legitimate, you would be able to have it track exclusively while using the app. This company is in no uncertain way, attempting to track you, and likely sell your personal information and usage statistics to the highest bidder. Do not be fooled. You keep assuming that the people you feed this nonsense to are illiterate to technology, stupid assumption in this day and age.
The app wants Bluetooth to be enabled. That’s not a big deal, but even after I enabled Bluetooth, the app tells me to enable Bluetooth every time that I open it and then forces me to the Settings app. If I tapped OK quickly and then tapped the coupon for the restaurant, it popped up briefly, but was then obscured again by the Bluetooth prompt. I spent 2 minutes bouncing back and forth between the app and Settings page. Ultimately, I was unable to use the coupon (which eventually said it was already redeemed). The app is unusable and has now been deleted. Sorry for wasting my time on this.
Your application shouldn’t need location always on to work. You can change that with your own choices on coding. If you’re doing geolocation, you can get that if you have location services based on when the app is in use. Sure, some functionality lose but the choice to disable the whole app without locations always on is a poor choice for users.
I’m a frugal person, no pun intended. Seriously to go out for an evening and get free stuff who wouldn’t want that. If you don’t have this app you’re crazy. You are missing out! I LOVE FROOGLE!
At minimum for most app permissions, you should have locations on at some capacity be it once/while using, but that’s it. There’s no legitimate reason to force bluetooth or notifications to use the app. I recommend Krazy Coupon Lady for food and toiletries. Slickdeals for everything else.
Terrible customer service, owner gets you on a contract and disappears until it’s time to collect again. Froogle never got any new business for us. Not worth the money.
This app is a digital version of all of the junk mail flyers that your physical mailbox gets stuffed with, and it comes with more privacy concerns than tik tok.
Title says it. My brother asked me to try on my phone because his wasn’t working either. I have iPhone 8 he has x and another friend has android didn’t work either. Location always on is scary and it doesn’t function without it. Hard pass.
