Since then, it has expanded from Calabasas to Woodland Hills, Tarzana and Studio City, with more cities in the pipeline.

The new iPhone app closely follows the release of the Android app, which came out in March.

Consumers can now get their Jeebster loyalty discount card “on-the-go” for a discount every time they shop at all participating merchants. Both apps also provide location-based coupons and offers.

When Patch conducted a search on Wednesday, we found deals at Under the Sea Indoor Playground, Yogurt Zone, the West Valley Pet Clinic and the Woodland Hills Pharmacy, just to name a few Woodland Hills businesses.
