Ratings and reviews

This is a nice way to end the year. What better time launch this app than in the season of shopping. The app allows you to select your grocery items, select the major supermarket then compare the price of each item and tell which store have which item and the total cost of your grocery list. This is certainly an nice way to budget. I am yet to check out the other features but it's a step in the right direction so it is a 5/5 for me

Very good start! A necessity. Suggestion for the groceries: users should be able to set their typical shopping cart/basket on first use (and be able to modify it later) instead of having to select items everytime to check the prices. Supermarkets could also be shown by proximity like the gas. Also, some people shop for multiple households so being able to set up multiple shopping baskets would be good too. Petrol section did not show me the cheapest that is nearest first. It should do that.

I was excited when I saw that an app of this nature had been developed. A great effort but definitely needs A LOT more work to be ready. 1. Having a brand of an item (eg tissue) as 'other' defeats the purpose. I am aware that not all brands could be placed there but a greater effort needs to be done to at least have popular brands listed 2. A lot of essential/ popular / basic items are not listed. 3. Some prices are missing which makes a comparison impossible
