The app does not work correctly and desperately needs an update.

Links are often broken. They often open the wrong page, making it impossible to get to the correct page.

I have been using this app for years. It is the best one out there for woot. Within the past few months the product link will not open or it opens to the wrong product. It would be great if this could be fixed as I have now had to result in going to the website as this app is not working.

You can see the time and attention that went into this app. The layout and colors were fantastic. However the app frequently crashes due to the links not working. If the Developer is still paying attention, we’d love to continue supporting this app to do our wooting!

As of late this app seems to be broken. At the time of this review 5/4/2020 the app hasn’t worked in a few days. As this keeps happening on and off I suspect woot.com has changed something on their end. Woot.com has their own app so I suspect they don’t care about any 3rd party companies that might have a better app for browsing their various s websites.

To speak nothing of the deals/amazon/woot-pre-Amazon, this app is very buggy. Missing pics/descriptions, broken links, and inconsistent updates. Choose another app for wooting.

Looking for an extension cord showing on today’s deals 7/13/19. Click on the link and it takes me to a child’s necklace. This morning it took me to a computer monitor. This app is screwed up a lot lately. Someone needs to evaluate the person writing the code. I guess I need to delete it.

The new changes make it impossible to tell exactly what section of Woot you’re buying from. Is it shirt woot? Computer woot? Electronics woot? Who knows! It’s just a list of seemingly random products displayed with minimal information. For example, today’s Woot is a Roomba. You’d think that would be the first product listed in the app, right? Nope. It’s the third with no indication that it’s the daily woot at all. Seriously, who thought this was a good design?

After the latest update, the categories are not as intuitive and it crops the pictures slightly. There is also no way to enlarge and zoom the pictures anymore.

New app design not good. Old app had dated subtexts so were able to skip over things you’d already looked at. Now have to look at same stuff over and over again. Wastes a lot of time, and no longer worth effort. Will probably be deleting soon. Too bad.
