The Solution

The client wanted an app which displays different kinds of local deals in sectors such as retail, dining and entertainment.

They preferred a rich application which would connect users with the sellers and even help the sellers strengthen their market presence and brand visibility.

We kept each of their requirements in mind and came up with an app which helps users check out new deals, coupons, discounts and promotional offers. Users can even use referral code to get cash back while signing up. What’s interesting is that this app is hyper-local, that is, users can simply turn on the GPS to find out deals and discounts near their neighbourhood, which is awesome!

Features

When you enter the app for the first time, you will select your preferred language (English or Bangla).
On the home screen you can see different categories and featured deals.
There is also a navigation (drawer), with a “Login,” or “Sign up” option and different menus (“Home, Nearby, Popular Deals, Change Location, Change Language, Social Connect, Contact, and List your business”).
When you select a deal (i.e. Buy Bianchi Via Nirone -- a bike), it will redirect you to a new page where you can see different deal coupons for this particular deal.
When you select a deal, you can view the discount value, the discount, the amount you save, the particulars of the deal, the location on Google map, the particular details of the deal, “About the Company.”
Login is NOT mandatory to browse deals, but in order to purchase it (the deal) you need to login.
There are different login options:Email Address, G+ (Google Account), Facebook
You can use a referral code from a friend and get cash back while signing up.
When you are successfully logged in you can purchase the deal.

Locations
