Hooked Deals for Negative User Reviews

✓ Deleted after payed subscription went liveI usually use this app a lot but I was disappointed to see the new hooked gold subscription go into play. Basically, any deal with a savings above $2 is inaccessible unless you’re a payed subscriber now. From what I can see, it’s not that you’re getting new and better deals but that you’re losing deals you used to get just for being a hooked user. I logged out and deleted the app because I don’t need another subscription..Steve3TuckerVersion: 11.0

✓ False advertising with discounts that aren’t approvedI went to a Vietnamese restaurant in Atlanta because Hooked Deals said that I could get 20% my entree between 11am and 2pm. When I arrive at the restaurant and place my order, to my surprise, the owner said that they don’t offer this discount and that they have already reached out to this company about posting a discount that was not verified by the owner herself. It was a let down and I recommend not using the app as it appears they are marking discounts down without getting approval of businesses beforehand..AkfusionVersion: 3.0.33

✓ !!!!!!!I live in Australia and was so excited when I learnt that there was this app. But it only works in America. Please change it so you can access it all over the world- or at least in Australia!!!.YolooooaoaooaoaoaoaoiaoaiaiaVersion: 2.1.6

✓ Cant log inI’ve been using this app for quite a while and I pay for subscription but I recently got a new phone I downloaded the app and it would not let me log it. I type in the password and email and try to press the log in button but nothing happens. The google log in option will not load either..Harly leanneVersion: 12.0

✓ Ok App, kindaThis is from a business point of view. “Sales manager” came into the restaurant to sell the owner on this “great deal”. Said it would push a lot of business in from the nearby college. Made promises for tracking usage, getting our menu items into the system, and keeping us up to date as to what’s happening. Was promised someone could only use the deal once per promotion. Then tried to write down credit card or ETF info for automatic withdrawal of fees once the “free promotion period ended”. On random printed forms he had in some folder. The only other time we saw him in the last 4 months was when he put table tents and posters up, and stuck a sticker in the smack dab center of our door. We did have a “welcome” email but after taking about getting pictures of our actual food as opposed to stock photos, we never heard another word from the company. The free promotion period ends with the end of this month. And we have never been given any data on usage, frequency of repeat customers, or anything else. And no one has even bothered to follow up with us on whether or not we would actually pay for this. Hint: we are not paying $100+ a month to break even on selling food to the few customers a week that actually came out..TAOJefferyVersion: 3.0.35

✓ Gold messes up the initial app!I use to see ads for places i want to eat then gold hit and almost every ofer is gold. It is mixed in. Considering deleting app because I'm not paying for gold! I can wait for coupons in the mail or just pay those fees for the food instead of paying for an app fee and the full price..RoseofsherynVersion: 11.0

✓ Do not like the new systemThe gold membership system has made the app difficult to use. It used to be very easy to see deals near me. Now, It’s almost as if they made the app harder to use to encourage people to pay for their new “membership” Program. Please make the free version of the app easy to use like it used to be..@omeidVersion: 11.0

✓ Decent App, Crap SupportThe app is great and does exactly what it says. Support team actively maintaining restaurants on the app that want to be off it, advertising deals the restaurants are no longer authorizing. Know one that’s been contacting them for months, and never get a response. Meanwhile customers order ahead then get angry at checkout because these unauthorized coupons are still being advertised. Pretty crappy way to run your app based business.TomTinkererVersion: 12.0

✓ Fun while it lastedThe rolling out of “Gold” has completely ruined this app. I understand the need to monetize the app more, but locking the same deals that’ve been free for years behind a paid subscription is just the oldest trick in the book. When gold was announced, I assumed there would be new better deals for gold, and free users would have access to the same old deals. Nope. I’m now left with the worst deals that I’ve never used and the good deals I used all the time now cost $5 a month. I’m deleting after 3 years of loving the app. Probably for the best though. Guess I’ll have to cut back on fast food..AdamhomedawhVersion: 11.0

✓ Gold subscriptionI really liked this app before..but I’m not into this “gold membership” thing because almost EVERY COUPON requires hooked gold. There’s basically no deals you can get without getting premium. I understand Hooked is trying to make its money now, but it’s such a turn off to have to pay money to save....Onetwothree12321Version: 11.0

✓ Used to love it...We used to love this app. It offered great deals and choices of restaurants...however it has changed in the last six months and now has a very limited offering of restaurants and the deals are either not good or always the same. This appears to be a sales issue—the reps just aren’t recruiting/enticing the restaurants to offered deals? Bring back the selection and offerings that used to be the reason we loved this app!.JmjwheelsVersion: 2.1.7

✓ Sudden changeI’ve been using Hooked for the past 3 years and have had no issues. But all of the sudden the deals that I’ve been getting for YEARS, I can’t anymore because they’re only available for Hooked Gold? I had just used a “gold deal” the other week with the gold brimming and the app never told me I had to buy a membership. I’m just confused as to why all of the sudden I need to pay for a membership...?.2at101Version: 11.0

✓ Sell outDeals that used to be free are now monthly subscription based. The app looks terrible, as most deals are now locked away so you have to dig to find what’s left of the “free” deals. They already had ads placed within the app which was fine so they could continue to run the app. But now it’s useless. If you market towards broke college kids who are just trying to save money, how does it make sense to charge them a monthly fee? Greedy..MinnietofuVersion: 11.0
