Groupon Updates iPhone, Android Apps

Groupon just announced the release of version 2.0 of its Consumer app.

“This revamp will feature a sleeker, brighter and more simplified user experience, allowing seamless discovery of Groupon’s local merchants, Groupon Goods and Groupon Getaways travel destinations,” a Groupon spokesperson tells WebProNews.

In the new app, there is larger photography for each deal and new carousel scrolling to replace the previous tabbed navigation. Users will be able to find Now! deals under the new Nearby experience.

There is also a new widget for ICS devices, improvement in startup time, and some other performance improvements and bug fixes. For Android, some push notifications issues have been fixed.

The app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
