  3. 1/5Horrible

    Doesn’t show where the penny deals are no matter what zip code it changes it on the item page and it’s not correct

    Introducing Deal Radar: one place for verified price errors and major deal drops. The Watchlist has been rebuilt with smarter targets, price history, restock alerts, filters, and easier editing. You can also check eBay resale prices directly from supported deals. This update adds more monitored brands, improved retailer logos, personalized deal placement, better VIP ZIP recovery, improved notifications, and numerous reliability and design improvements.

  • 1.6.5

    What's New in 1.6.5 • A fresh, cleaner look for Deal Radar and your Watchlist. • Deal Radar now lives right on your home screen: verified price errors and the best drops, all in one feed. • Get notified the moment a penny or price drop lands.

  • 1.6.8

    This one is about telling you the truth and helping you find more. • Rewritten hunting guides. Every retailer has its own tell: at Home Depot, "not available in this store" in their app often means it just went to a penny. At Dollar Tree, the price checker on the wall tells you before you ever reach the register. Now we teach you exactly what to look for at each one. • Every lead shows its age. See when we last spotted it, and we flag the ones that are getting old. • Fewer dead ends. If your store has nothing today, we point you to your penny leads instead of an empty screen. • In-store: fixed the "0 deals" that showed even when your stores had plenty. • The scanner is now honest about what it can and can't do. • We removed the countdown timer from the upgrade screen. It wasn't real, and it shouldn't have been there.

  • 1.6.9 · 26 Jul 2026

    Deal Radar, rebuilt. The Radar now ranks by how much money you actually save, biggest first, instead of by percentage off. A $3,000 saving no longer sits below a 99% discount on a $4 phone case. Confirmed price errors jump to the top because they disappear fast. We also stopped showing deals that already ended. Every card now has to prove it is still live, and anything we cannot verify comes off the feed. You will see fewer cards. All of them will be real. In-store, done right. Setting up your local store no longer leaves you staring at a spinner. You see your actual store, the real stages of the search, and an honest estimate. If there is no store close enough, we tell you straight away and offer the nearest one instead of leaving you at a dead end. Walk away and we will notify you when it is ready. Penny guides you can read in an aisle. Rewritten to be scannable while you shop, with the Home Depot tell that actually finds pennies and the verified facts the old guides were missing. Also in this release: Alerts now reach you. A bug meant most people were never registered for notifications, so deals went out and never arrived. Fixed. Emails and push now arrive in your language. Locked deals show what you would save, so you know what is behind the upgrade before you pay for it. We removed a countdown timer that was not real. The scanner answers faster and no longer opens with a promise the data cannot keep.
