LivingSocial hits Windows Phone 8 with Live Tiles and lock screen integration, voucher saving to Wallet, and more
Microsoft today announced that LivingSocial has finally released a Windows Phone 8 app. You can download the app now directly from the Windows Phone Store.
LivingSocial has made sure to include unique Windows Phone features, including the ability to display deals on your Live Tiles and lock screen wallpaper. Both allow you to see deals at a glance without having to open up the app.
The app also lets you store your vouchers in the Windows Phone Wallet. In other words, you don’t have to print vouchers: if you see a deal on your device, you can just save it to show later to the respective merchant.
Other than that, LivingSocial for Windows Phone 8 works just like on other platforms:
Each day, we’ll introduce you to a new, cool thing to do in your city — and give you a HUGE discount while we’re at it. Always traveling? With our app, you’ll see every deal we’re running in every city.
As LivingSocial users have come to expect, the app lets you discover new things to do in your home town, and then give you big discounts on them. The app pushes deals to your phone every day, allowing you to view and buy them directly wherever you are.
Furthermore, when you buy a deal, you can tell your friends via email or Twitter in just a tap. If three of your friends buy the deal, you’ll get yours for free.
This is version 1.0.0.0 for Windows Phone 8, meaning you can expect both bug fixes and new features in the next few weeks and months. We’ll keep you posted as they arrive.
