What's New
Changelog
New features, improvements, and fixes for I Forgot The Coupons.
2026
Lifetime Access
mobile- • Lifetime Access. Pay $99.99 once and Premium is yours, no recurring billing.
- • Browse Extras hides expired coupons so you don't waste taps trying to clip them.
- • Auto-clip retries when a coupon fails on the first attempt.
- • Privacy controls and a data export option are now in Settings.
- • Fixed the paywall getting stuck when the purchase service was slow to start.
Subscription Reliability Fixes
mobile- • Fixed a case where unpaid users could briefly be treated as subscribers if the subscription service wasn't fully configured at launch.
- • Subscription state in the Clip Coupons view stays correct even through a network hiccup.
Privacy Controls on the Web
web- • Consent banner now matches the IFTL site so visitors can manage analytics and ad cookies on iforgotthecoupons.com.
- • Privacy choices and DSAR export available across both apps' websites.
Analytics + privacy policy disclosure
web- • Turned on Google Analytics 4 with cross-domain measurement between iforgotthecoupons.com and iforgotthelist.com. Only loads after you accept analytics consent.
- • Updated the privacy policy to disclose Google Analytics 4 explicitly, including the Measurement ID, the _ga / _ga_GFRLCG8ZNW / _gcl_au cookies, and the Enhanced Measurement events GA4 captures automatically.
Privacy Controls
web- • Added a cookie banner so analytics only load after you accept. Reject and Accept are now equally one-click.
- • Rewrote the privacy policy with the full list of cookies, third parties, retention, and your California rights.
- • New Your Privacy Choices page lets you download all your data as JSON or delete your account in a couple of clicks once signed in.
- • Added a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link in the footer.
Search engine cleanup
web- • Removed the smart-link hand-off page from the sitemap so Google focuses on the real product pages. No user-visible change.
Paywall analytics polish
mobile- • Paywall events now record which gate triggered them so we can see which prompts convert. Pure instrumentation, no user-visible change.
Behind-the-scenes telemetry restored
mobile- • Re-enabled app install + lifecycle tracking that had been disabled to save analytics quota. Lets us see install patterns and daily-active counts to spot funnel problems faster. No user-visible change.
App may occasionally ask you to rate it
mobile- • After you've clipped a few coupons, the system review prompt may pop up to ask how the app is treating you. iOS and Android both throttle this on their own — you won't see it more than once a year, and never during onboarding.
Order import emails open the app directly
mobile web- • Buttons in the Fred Meyer order import emails now open the app straight to the right screen on iOS, instead of bouncing through the App Store. Android and desktop get a clean landing page with a download CTA.
- • Rewrote the Fred Meyer landing page on iforgotthecoupons.com — clearer messaging, real outcome numbers, security details about what we do and don't touch with your Fred Meyer login, and a phone mockup so desktop visitors can see what the app looks like.
Cleaner numbers and clearer sync status
mobile- • Currency amounts now show with thousands separators, like $1,234 instead of $1234.
- • Tightened up the coupon-row date layout so it takes less space.
- • Purchase-sync banner no longer flashes "Importing 0 of 0" before it has counts.
Live Counter During Auto-Clip
mobile- • The Coupons header count now ticks up live as the auto-clip flow lands each coupon, instead of staying frozen until the whole batch finishes.
Smoother Coupons List
mobile- • Fixed jitter in the Coupons list when an auto-clip flow finished while you were scrolled below the fold.
Smarter Coupon Swaps At The Cap
mobile- • When you're at the 250-coupon limit and clip a new one, IFTC now prefers swapping out coupons that have already expired before touching any of your live ones — so you don't lose a still-usable coupon to make room.
- • Same behavior for the bulk auto-clip flow.
Bigger Text Across Screens
mobile- • Bumped up the smallest text sizes across the app so labels and timestamps are easier to read at a glance, especially on smaller iPhones.
Auto-Swap At The Coupon Cap
mobile- • When you hit Fred Meyer's 250-coupon limit during a clip session, IFTC now automatically swaps lower-ranked clipped coupons for higher-value ones from the queue — no more manual juggling.
- • Manually-clipped and store-synced coupons are protected and never auto-removed.
- • Capped at 5 swaps per session so you stay in control.
Coupon Titles You Can Actually Read
mobile- • Coupon cards now show the description as the title ('Save $0.50 on ST Freeze Dried Fruit') with the brand on a secondary line — much easier to scan than a wall of brand names.
- • Same treatment in Browse Extras and the swap dialog so it's consistent everywhere.
- • Em dashes swept out of mobile labels for cleaner reading.
Smarter Swap Dialog
mobile- • After a successful swap, the dialog refreshes the lowest-ranked coupon so you don't see the same one proposed twice.
- • Buttons now read 'Replace' / 'Replacing...' to match what's actually happening.
- • Friendlier message when you're at the cap, with a clear next step.
Home-Screen + Header Fixes
mobile- • Fixed the IFTC name showing as 'I For…' on the iPhone home screen — it now reads 'IFTC'.
- • Fixed the Coupons screen header overflowing on smaller iPhones.
- • The 'Importing X of Y' counter no longer shows a first number larger than the total.
Browse Extras Smoothing
mobile- • Removed a duplicate spinner that appeared while loading more coupons.
- • Fixed the Clip button losing visibility against the brand-colored row background.
Logout Properly Ends Your Session
mobile web- • Signing out now ends your session at the auth server too, so re-logging in always asks for credentials instead of silently signing you back in.
Brand-Aware Account Deletion Email
mobile- • When you delete your account, the confirmation email now matches the app you deleted from (IFTL or IFTC) instead of always coming from the list app.
Email Links Open The App
mobile- • Store connect/disconnect emails now link straight into the mobile app instead of bouncing to the website.
Changelog + Download Pages
web- • iforgotthecoupons.com now has a /changelog page (full release history) and a /download page with the App Store link.
- • Footer matches iforgotthelist.com so navigation feels consistent across both sites.
7-Day Free Trial
mobile- • Replaced the previous free tier with a 7-day free trial of all features. Subscribe before the trial ends to keep saving.
Better Discoverability
web- • Search engines now have a complete map of iforgotthecoupons.com, so pages show up in Google more reliably.
Request a Store Now Sends Email
mobile- • When you request a store we don't yet support, your request actually reaches us — we'll know which stores to add next.
Email From Address Fix
