Upcoming feature release: Introducing Reminders
Update 1
Reminders are now available to all Android users (03/02/23)
You’ve all long been able to save threads for later viewing; the save feature helps you remember to return to deals that when you have more free time.
"Remember" is the key word here. As we all know, life gets in the way, and it's all too easy to forget to look into that deal before it's too late.
So, with that in mind, we listened to your feedback and are excited to introduce our brand new "Reminders," which will be available soon on your hotukdeals android app.
Reminder key points:
What else is changing?
And finally..
While these iterations were made based on user feedback, research and testing, we still would love your input so we can continue to improve this feature and the wider platform. This is a beta feature at the moment and there may be teething problems, so please let us know if you come across anything that doesn’t look quite right.
The iOS app is following in the next few weeks / soon
We’re looking forward to your feedback!

So, with that in mind, we listened to your feedback and are excited to introduce our brand new "Reminders," which will be available soon on your hotukdeals android app.
Reminder key points:
- When saving a deal on the android app, you can now also set an (optional) reminder time.
- You can also set a reminder time for a more convenient time of the day
- We made it really simple to delete a reminder, you just tap the “save” button for a second time
- This feature will only be available on the android app.
- The first release will allow you to be reminded later about your deals.
- We’ll make further improvements to the feature in early 2023 to make it even more useful.
What else is changing?
- Nothing, if you loved saving threads then you can continue to do so with or without reminders

sorted byBut that will probably be useful for me. Especially those deals that get posted, saying they start in a week etc
I've literally never seen a digital clock/alarm shown in this way
I'd personally rather have it as a 12 hour clock with an am/pm toggle but maybe that's just me
Edit: My clock is a 12 hour clock so it must go off your phone settings (edited)
What happens if I set a reminder and the deal expires before then? Will I still get the reminder at the set time/day?
I see it doesn't work on currently expired deals (sometimes these may get unexpired).
I had a suggestion.
If an user is Offline but is still browsing the app and spots a deal which he wants to check later, currently there isn't a way to bookmark / add a reminder.
Is it possible to cache the reminder info on the device while the user is offline and then sync when the user is back online.
I have had this requirement few times when I'm travelling / in a tunnel or in low reception area.
Thank you.
2).... Oh my god, there's already a Save feature I never noticed!! 🙀🤦🏾 (edited)
