Groupon’s UK operation today launches its own iOS application iPhone/iPod Touch in the international App Store [iTunes link].

As expected the app allows you to browse daily deals, access your account, organise previous purchases, and sign up for a brand new account should you so wish.

It’s also possible to redeeem offers by presenting Groupons to merchants directly from the iPhone screen (no printouts required).

More interestingly it’s possible to find Groupon purchases closest to your current location, because of the mobile aspect, obviously.
