Google has just announced that its Google Offers app is now available for the iPhone.
The app is only available in the United States with deals located in a wide swath of major metropolitan areas. A complete list of cities can be found on the Google Offers website.
Users can discover offers near them by using the app’s map view or search for specific deals by category.
After purchasing a deal, you can easily track your offers in the My Offers section of the app. Deals can also instantly be redeemed from your iPhone without having to spend time remembering to print and bring your voucher.
Google Offers can be downloaded in the App Store for free. It is designed for the iPhone and iPod touch but is compatible with the iPad.
I’m glad to see Google realizes it needs to expand its mobile user base to make its daily deals more successful. I’ve always ignored the site specifically because it didn’t have an iOS client to browse. And Google said when the Android version of the app launched last fall, users spent three times more time on the app compared to the site. That’s a pretty big difference.
Right now, the featured deal is for new Netflix streaming subscribers. After watching three movies or TV shows on the service, you can receive two movie tickets for $1.
