Scoutmob

ScoutMob provides location-aware coupons, offering rapidly-expiring deals on local food, coffee, and shops, all tailored to your location and city.

ScoutMob’s mobile application allows the coupons to be delivered directly to the iPhone without having to print out or download. The app enables users to:

  • Store and sort local deals by newest, most popular, nearby, and hurry-you-fool-it’s-about-to-expire.
  • Get extra incentive from these locations when you make a return visit.
  • When you find a deal worth pursuing, pull it up on your screen & show your friendly server.

ScoutMob was made by the creators of Skyblox, a wifi provider based in Atlanta.
