LAS VEGAS, NV—April 1, 2014 - LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, a geo-location based mobile marketing platform that enables restaurants to publish “real-time” and “instant offers” to nearby consumers, today announced that it has released its Android OS App, which is now available in the Google Play Store. The LiveDeal App provides a unique, real-time "deal engine" connecting merchants with consumers and features an enhanced interface enabling restaurants to create limited-time offers and publish them immediately or publish them on a preset schedule that is fully customizable for restaurants.

Jon Isaac, President and CEO of LiveDeal commented“With the release of our Android App we are now fully functional across the vast majority of mobile platform users who may now take advantage of our popular LiveDeal capabilities. This puts the incredible power of our tools directly into the hands of our growing user base, quite literally.”

The recently released LiveDeal Android App will allow consumers even better access to thousands of restaurant deals that are part of the LiveDeal network. Features include:

  • Lightning fast and intuitive navigation
  • International Support – users in any city can view deals posted by merchants in their own locale
  • GeoLocation – displaying deals in close proximity to the user
  • Ability to select and browse deals for locations in certain zip codes or different cities
  • Ability to search for different types of deals, whether by restaurant name, location, or deal description.

The company views the release of its Android App as a big step toward the widespread adoption of the Company’s restaurant deal platform due to the popularity of smartphone apps. The use of smartphones in America is extremely popular as indicated in a December 2013 press release from comScore; over 149 million Americans own a smartphone. Google CEO Larry Page recently stated that more than 1.5 million Android devices are being activated each day. In 2013, the company announced that there were more than 900 million Android devices worldwide, and 50 billion apps were downloaded from Google Play last year alone.

Jon Isaac added, “The LiveDeal Android App is a triumph for our customers and new users alike, and the App will strengthen our brand and drive broad-based market share growth. This App will also help to expedite the growth of our audience which will allow us to reach the goals we've set for ourselves even sooner.”
