THE STORY

We all love a deal. Whether it’s an agreement less expensive than deep fried potato products procured by a BBC-based antique loving Oompa Loompa, a bargain offered by a bearded man in a blouse with a box and a banker, or even a deal with the Devil down at the crossroads a money saving mutual understanding is always appreciated. So get living, get social and get your deals daily with LivingSocial…

THE EXPERIENCE

Thanks to a wunch of bankers (collective noun) making a bit of a hash out of the world’s economy, there are quite a few daily deal websites around these days, and consequently quite a few daily deal website aping apps available. But Groupon and those tediously annoying TV adverts for Wowcher aside, when it comes to the big guns of deal slinging, LivingSocial and its Android app is proving to be crucial in cash conserving.

A free app that uses your GPS to work out where you are, once it has you in its sight it then instantly offers options in your area, offers covering everything from deal dining to indoor skydiving to will writing and, well, you get the idea – pretty much anything you can think of; that’s legal.

Simple to search, if you want to look at offers outside of your immediate environs, simply opt for cities and the app will add them in, letting you learn a low-cost language in Leicester, go cut-price karting in Kent or, indeed, buy a bargain bicycle in Bradford, should you so wish.

THE BOTTOM LINE

With a user interface that’s simplicity itself to navigate and a range of daily deals that cover all bases from basic human needs to opulent extravagance at reduced rates, if your life needs a lift that your bank account otherwise wouldn’t allow, download and get dealing.
