Once they sign up and register, the app will get a mobile coupon for a free small Blizzard treat, ranging from Oreo to cotton candy.

Before heading out to the nearest Dairy Queen for a treat, be sure it is participating in the offer.

"Most DQ restaurants throughout the United States and Canada are individually owned and operated franchises, so special promotions or coupons are decided by the store management or owner," the restaurant chain said on Twitter.

The app deals are only at participating restaurants, and none are available in Texas.

Find out more information by contacting a DQ near you or going to DQ.com.
