Frequently Asked Questions
Since the site is brand new, we may well be missing questions that should go here. Please contact us with any and all questions and we'll reply to you, as well as
answering the important ones here.
1. What is this site?
Zeepo is the first group buying site for iPhone apps. Each day, we partner with a developer who wants our group to check out their app. They put it on sale at 99 cents, for one day only.
2. How exactly does the group buying work?
Traditional group buying sites make a certain product available for a special price to their visitors. Because of how the App Store works, we can't do that, but we can reward the people who buy
the apps through our site. We track which of our users buys each day's app, and when we hit a certain target level we reward some of those people with promotional items. We also track how many people tweet about
each day's deal and talk about it on Facebook, and when we hit certain target levels of that social media buzz, we give promotional items to some of those people too.
3. I want to buy today's app, how should I do it?
You need to log into Zeepo and then click the "buy! 0.99" button, which will take you to the App Store to buy it. If you buy it on your desktop computer, you can download
it now and then sync it onto your device.
4. I would rather buy it from the App Store on my actual iPhone, can I do that?
No problem, just open up Zeepo in Safari on your iPhone (or iPod touch of course), log into your account there, and then click that same "buy! 0.99" link.
5. So what are these targets and promotional items?
It's pretty simple actually. For now the rewards are as follows:
- If we get 100 tweets/facebook mentions about an app that is on sale, $25 in promo items are released
- If we get 200 or more tweets/etc. about an app being that is on sale, $25 further in promo items are released, for a total of $50
- If the day's app sells 25 copies to our users, $25 in promo items are released
- If the day's app sells 50 or more copies to our users, $25 further in promo items are released, for a total of $50
For now the promotional items are iTunes gift cards, although we'll probably be doing other cool things in the future as they come up.
6. How can I get involved with the tweets/facebook stuff?
Just click the "Share this" link beside the description of today's app and it'll take you to a page that lets you tweet about the deal on Twitter
or "like" the deal on Facebook.
