Great app
I’ve been using this for years and years.
It’s great for quick comparisons of prices without being insanely over complicated. There’s no weights or measures, so you are only comparing units. As long as what you are comparing is the same for both (such as ounces, ml, etc) it’s fast. Basically just 4 entries and it tells which is a better buy. It hasn’t been updated in forever, but, when it works right, it works right, so what’s to update??
Love love this app!
It helps me compare items in the store down to the cents. I have little ones so I always need diapers, so knowing how many in the pack compared to price quickly is perfect.
Tight
This works well and comes in handy for splitting checks with my peeps.
Nice
Quite nice functionality, but looks a little ugly on my iPad mini 2. And there is no icon for it on my iPad mini 2, just Apple's generic placeholder graphic.
Update: looks better on my iPhone 6 Plus than on my iPad.
I like that it has several functions, and it's free and has no junk ads.
Clears up the confusion
I feel like retailers and manufacturers deliberately obfuscate unit prices by mixing up quantities so you never know if your getting a deal or not. This app totally solves all of that. The UI is very easy to navigate. It’s been very reliable and really does everything I need. You’ll save the 99¢ price more than likely after the first use. Go get it!
Great, clean app
Makes comparison shopping a breeze!
A Great Tool
This is a wonderful app for comparing prices at the grocery store. I have tried several apps for price comparison and calculating discounts and this is the best by far.
Great for Couponing
I use coupons for shopping along with using the target cartwheel app and I have to take a Percentage off and take off a coupon and this is app is perfect for this. I wish someone out there would make an app just for couponers. But this will be ok for it for now. I put the price on the top then the % off from cartwheel on the next line then I take off the coupon on the $off line. It really helps to use this to save! Thanks!
Missing Field
The second column is missing the quantity entry field. This is on a 4s running 7.1.
Great all in one!
I'm frugal, and I am proud! This app really helps me set things straight at the groceries, seeing just how much I'm getting with discounts, and even let's me calculate tips.
I'm young, so price comparing and money management is hugely important
