Question 1

Is Arvvo free?

Accepted Answer

Browsing venues, deals and The Edit is free, and stays free. Arvvo Pro is the paid tier for people who use it hard: unlimited Find My Perfect Venue, alerts when a deal starts at a place you saved, and bigger saved lists. You get two Find My Perfect Venue runs before we ask you for anything.

Question 2

How do I get Arvvo?

Accepted Answer

Open it in any browser and it works today. Add it to your home screen and it sits with your other apps. The iOS and Android versions are what we are building now, and early access members get them first.

Question 3

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

Not to look. Browsing deals, venues and The Edit works without signing in. An account is what lets you save a venue, get told when its deal starts, and keep your lists across devices.

Question 4

How do you know a deal is still running?

Accepted Answer

Every deal is checked against the venue's own channels before it goes up, keeps a link to where we found it, and is approved by a person rather than a script. We re-check on a schedule and pull anything we can no longer confirm, because a dead deal is worse than no deal. Venues and users can submit deals directly, and those go through the same review.

Question 5

Which cities does Arvvo cover?

Accepted Answer

Sydney, and only Sydney. That is a decision, not a limitation: a discovery app that half-covers six cities is useless in all six. Other Australian cities follow once Sydney is properly covered, and you will know because we will have opened one, not announced one.

Question 6

How does a venue get on Arvvo?

Accepted Answer

By being somewhere worth leaving the house for. We choose the venues ourselves, and owners can claim their profile and publish their deals for free. Position is editorial: the way to move up is to be a place people want to go back to.
