The free app (unlike this one, an official one) enables users to buy deals in over 65 cities, access their purchased Groupons and find ones that are nearby.
You can also redeem deals from the app and view side deals by selecting the “More Deals” option in the deal page menu.
It works similarly to Groupon’s iPhone app, which has been out since March 2010.

Groupon has to date raised a whopping $173 million in venture capital, most recently scoring a $135 million round at a $1.35 billion valuation.
