Building next-gen mobile experience designed to
better serve marketplace needs
What do Instagram, YouTube, Candy Crush Saga, Spotify and
Groupon have in common? All of these popular, free apps now have at
least 200 million downloads across iOS and Android, with Groupon as
the latest to hit the download milestone.1 Groupon, the global
marketplace for local services, experiences and goods, has seen
significant mobile growth as more consumers shift to mobile
shopping, which is expected to account for more than $270 billion
in U.S. retail ecommerce sales in 2019 and represent the majority
of all U.S. retail ecommerce spending by 2021.2

Groupon has the third most visited retail app in the United
States3––behind only Amazon and Walmart––and the sixth highest
rated iOS app of all time.4 More than 80 percent of users visit the
Groupon marketplace via a mobile device.
“Groupon, very early on, recognized the disruptive potential of
mobile and the power of what it could do for our business,
consumers and local businesses,” said Groupon’s Chief Product
Officer Sarah Butterfass. “We’re excited to continue to evolve our
app to meet the demands of our ever-changing marketplace.”
Planned mobile improvements in 2019 include using Groupon’s
proprietary data, machine learning and AI to improve discovery,
relevance and service on the platform. Mobile is also a key enabler
of Groupon’s booking and voucherless initiatives that make it
easier for people to use their Groupons.
