Coupon codes plus cash back, from one of the older names in online discounts. RetailMeNot lists codes and deals at more than 3,500 brands across fashion, beauty, home, electronics and travel, including Macy's, Target, Sephora, Home Depot, Best Buy and Hotels.com, and pays cash back into an in-app wallet on qualifying purchases. The company says every code is checked by a team and expired ones pulled quickly. A loyalty programme adds monthly bonuses for repeat shopping at participating merchants. Scout Price, a beta tool, compares prices across the web, works out the real cost after sitewide sales, codes and cash back, and applies the stack at checkout. Price alerts notify you when something you're watching drops or goes on sale, and the home feed adapts to what you browse. Cash back is tied to qualifying purchases made through the app, and the bonus programme has monthly earning caps.
Long before cash back apps were common, RetailMeNot was the site people checked for a coupon code before paying. The app keeps that role, listing codes and offers for upwards of 3,500 brands, Macy's, Target, Sephora, Home Depot and Hotels.com among them, and adds cash back paid to a wallet inside the app for qualifying buys.
The company says a team verifies every code and pulls expired ones quickly. A loyalty scheme pays a monthly bonus to people who keep shopping at the merchants in it, price alerts watch items for you, and Scout Price, still in beta, compares the real cost across the web after discounts and cash back.
Checking the app has become a reflex for its users at the checkout stage of any online order: search the retailer, copy the best code, paste, and see whether the total drops. Scout Price shortens that by working out the cheapest combination of sitewide sale, code and cash back and applying it. Between purchases, price alerts do the waiting, pinging when a watched item falls. The loyalty bonuses reward returning to the same merchants month after month, and the wallet balance grows quietly in the background until it's worth cashing out.
A name that has been synonymous with coupon codes for years brings people back out of habit, usually at the moment a checkout page shows a promo code box. The newer draw is the price comparison tool, which answers the harder question of which store is actually cheapest once every discount is counted. Deal hunters also want the alerts.
With five screenshots on the page, the likely subjects are a brand directory, a deal detail card with a copyable code, the Scout Price comparison view, the wallet and an alerts list. Coupon apps lean on bold discount percentages and brand logos rather than imagery, so expect a dense, badge-heavy layout. The listing itself doesn't describe the visual theme.
A 10.0.6 version string suggests a recent major overhaul followed by a few quick fixes. RetailMeNot, Inc. is a well-established company, and the 4.8 rating is backed by more than a hundred thousand reviews, so neither support nor reputation is in question. The Scout Price tool is explicitly labelled beta, which means that part may change. Only an App Store link appears on this page.

Rated 17+ on the App Store, which the listing doesn't explain but is typical for shopping apps that open retailer sites. The app is free and makes money from merchants, with no in-app purchases listed. Cash back requires an account and only counts on purchases routed via the app; the loyalty programme caps monthly earnings. An internet connection is essential. Many of the named brands are US retailers, so usefulness elsewhere is uncertain. Ads and storage aren't mentioned.
Our take
Install it if you shop at the big US retailers it names and would like one place to grab a code and earn a little back; it's a mature, well-reviewed tool. Shoppers outside the US or those who rarely buy from large chains will find thin pickings. If you already run Rakuten or a browser coupon extension, the overlap may not justify another app.
