Search is a critical part of Groupon’s product strategy. Most Groupon
merchants now make their deals available on an ongoing basis, and search
allows customers to find only the deals most relevant to them in this
expanded marketplace. In iPhone v.2.5 search is prominent with a
clickable icon that allows customers to navigate from anywhere in the
app.
Search is also a central element of Android v.2.4, which also includes a
sleek new interface for 10-inch tablets. The Android tablet market is
growing quickly, and, with support for tablets, the Groupon Android app
is now a great complement to Groupon’s highly regarded iPad app.
