Hey Slickdealers,

We're giving you an early look at some updates coming to the Slickdeals Mobile apps. The core experience you rely on stays the same, but we've made improvements to help you find great deals faster, more easily, and with less friction.

We get that changes like this can take some adjustment—especially when you've built up your own rhythm in the app. That's why we're treating this as an evolution, not a total overhaul. You'll still have the features you count on, now paired with a refreshed design and helpful upgrades inspired by community feedback.

What's Changing in the New App?

Here's a quick overview of what's new:

When You'll See the New App

We're rolling out the new experience gradually over the next few months to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you don't see it just yet, hang tight—it'll be available to you soon.

We'd Love Your Feedback

We want to hear from you. Your feedback played a big role in shaping this update, and it'll continue to guide how we improve the app moving forward.
If you have thoughts, suggestions, or run into anything that feels off—we're all ears. Drop a reply in this thread to share your perspective with the community, or use the feedback button in the app to send us a direct message. Either way, your input really does make a difference, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Thanks again for being part of the Slickdeals community—we're excited to keep improving with your help.

If it's not the first thing we see, it shouldn't be called the front page

Also, where is the search bar?

You will be able to choose which section you see first in your app if I recall. Front Page, Hot Deals, Just for You etc. (it's still the front page of the site so it's still the front page Wink)
The search bar/button is at the bottom, you can see it in the very bottom image attachment.

Quote from IShortysI :
rofl, this UI design is worse than what yall tried with the site redesign
I personally don't like or use redesign unless I have to, I'm a Classic user lol. But I was pleasantly surprised by the new app (didn't like the old one much). So give it a try before you put it down without trying it first. The devs and others that are working on the new app are actively and actually listening to what users say. So if you do download the new app when it's available, use the feedback button on it or post in here if there's stuff you don't like or that you want added or tweaked.

It's not perfect nor is it exactly like the site but what app ever is? And they will take users suggestions into account, they already are. (I'm just happy an OP will actually be able to add images to their posts now lol, been asking for that for years)

Desktop WWW: Any Chance we can extend the multiple wireframe UI views (compact, grid, list, simple) to the popular & trending deal pages - The Trending & popular pages are the most important pages for for catching a deal early and yet they are the two pages that are the least unreadable and yet

I know your looking for Mobile suggestions but I have been asking to fix these basic desktop browser pages for a long time

Please tell me the search button stays at the bottom after clicking it, lol. The google play store moved it to the bottom just to move it to the top after you click on it.

I imagine it moves to the top to give a search history, but that is exactly why it would be a bad idea to move to the bottom

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! The second icon from the right in the bottom navigation bar is the Search icon. Inside the Search section, you'll find a search bar at the top, along with stores and categories below to make browsing easier. We'd love for you to give the new app a thorough test once it's available to you, and we truly value your thoughts. Please let us know your experience, and we'll continue to make improvements based on your feedback.

Is the new UI on the backend or new app update? If the latter can we get an APK to sideload?

It is a new app update. The app will become available to users over the next several weeks in the app store.

Slickdeals is for people to discover deals, so purchasing directly on Slickdeals isn't supported currently. If we do have something related to this coming, we will share news to users timely.

This will be a new app update. Can you expand on your desire to sideload? I assume you want to preview the new version? Thanks!

Hey! Yeah getting the update early, but also can be useful for people that use Android devices without the Google Play store. It's rare but they are out there.

If you find a thread or post for a deal you like, then you would just click the link or links in the thread to then purchase the item at the retailer itself.

Slickdeals doesn't actually sell anything directly itself, it's more of a gateway for users to find deals that other users have posted deals they found from various merchants, that have links in the post to the deal at the merchant for you to purchase from the actual merchant.
