What do you like best about Groupon?

I love being able to get services and products at a discounted rate. I have bought several Groupons for Shutterfly and tried Groupons for restaurants and escape rooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groupon?

Sometimes the amount of time you have to use your Groupon before it expires is too short. It would be good to have Groupons that don't expire or that maybe expire after 1 year instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Groupon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Groupon helps me to be able to afford certain items that would normally be too expensive. It has also helped me to try new things because they were expensive before, but with a Groupon, I can try something and if I like it, I will know it's worth full-price the next time.

The downside to Groupon is that the deals expire even after purchase. If you don't use your purchase by the expiration date, you lose it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me narrow down what I'm looking for, for example, vacation ideas. Just enter what your looking for and all the available deals are at your fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Groupon?

Groupon deals are easily achieved through their mobile app. They offer a lot of deals for multiple places, activities and items. Compared to competitors I would recommend Groupon for their large selection of deals not only on physical items but also activities and unique places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Groupon?

I don't like that Groupon app doesn't personalize their deals to accommodate an individual based on search hits and previous purchases. Perhaps Groupon could save search history for an individual and be more personable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Groupon:

I would recommend Groupon if you have a large family or community of people whom you want discounts for for items and activities even gifts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Groupon solving and how is that benefiting you?

No problems to solve with Groupon currently but I do occasionally benefit from this app financially with their savings. I am more productive as I find activity discounts on the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
