CNET Editors' review
Scoutmob is a location-aware coupon service that pushes local restaurant and retail deals directly to your mobile device. No need to print or purchase anything, just scroll through the local 50 percent off (and more) coupons available, click "USE THE DEAL," and flash your screen at the location. It's like Groupon, only simpler and better.
What gives Scoutmob its edge over its other deal-serving competitors is that there's no need to purchase anything ahead of time. If your GPS-enabled mobile device detects that you are at the deal location, you get the deal. And most deals are valid for several weeks, if not months, which is a huge step up from other must-buy-today apps that feature flashing countdown timers. There are even Return Perks, offering further discounts to give you an incentive for repeat business.
Scoutmob claims its mobile app encourages and facilitates local exploration, and from our experience it does just that. Because it automatically serves up a menu of nearby deals, without the pressure of a countdown timer or the commitment of a prepurchase, Scoutmob indeed presents a compelling case to try something new, and possibly discover a hidden gem. And for those feeling particularly inquisitive, click the Curiosities button for obscure facts about your locale.
Scoutmob is an incredibly convenient and beautifully designed app, with its primary limitation being the number of cities it fails to cover. But if you're lucky enough to be in one of Scoutmob's markets, the app is an absolute must-download.

"Very convenient local coupon service"
Version: Scoutmob 1.3.9
Pros
Offers greats deals within your local area, fast and easy, redeem your coupon instantly, no need to purchase ahead of time, and fun photo-sharing feature.
Cons
Nothing to complain about really. It's a free app that offers great discounts with no obligations.
Summary
I'm definitely one of those people who are all for a great deal. Groupon, LivingSocial...all of these coupon services are great. But what gives Scoutmob a step above the rest is the fact that you don't have to buy the deal ahead of time. If the GPS feature indicates that a deal is around your area, simply go to the place, click "Use the deal" and show your phone. Very convenient. The first time I used this was for free burritos from El Metate. They'll have incredibly good deals like this from time to time. So definitely recommend downloading this app.
