Use it all the time. You do not realize how much prices go up until you use this great program. I wish it had a bar code reader and when you search for product that is existing you should be able to choose if it is added to needed items. Also it needs an "each" otherwise I just use grams. Fix these few things an it gets 5 stars plus!!!

X70%
by X####:

Pretty critical UX break there, guys. Was already barely usable for its main purpose due to feature bloat, but I'm done with it now.

K70%
by K####:

It's great you can add things to shopping list, but if you can't get it for the lowest price in your price history, you have to enter the current price again for the shopping total at the bottom to be accurate. That's kind of annoying. It would be nice if you could select a price from the history to use.

This is now the best app ever since i found out i was not working it correctly. This app does everything i could want it to do. And i cant wait for all my items to be added and for it to become my new best friend

K70%
by K####:

This app is the major reason I dumped my iPhone after few weeks of using. I love the possibility to add stores and to show the store with the lowest price. My currency is not available, but that is not a big problem for me. I hope there will be a possibility to somehow share/sync the data to used it together with my husband.

This app is AWESOME! I was actually contemplating writing my own price-comparison app when I discovered Price Cruncher. I was so tired of keeping the prices of toilet paper, peanut butter, fish sticks, and juice drink boxes in my head. The unit handling and bulk-packaging system is spot-on. Very slick, quite intuitive. Take the time to watch the demo video on this page; it also serves as a good instructional video for what you can do when getting started as a new user. Although, I REALLY wish it had the following: 1.Share data between multiple users. 2. Add an "Add Similar" feature to the long-press item menu - creates a copy of the selected item, where you can then edit the store, quantity, brand, etc., without having to retype other identical information. 3. Set an optional expiration date for sale prices. #1 is needed the most. My wife and I both have phones. Or sometimes she brings her 7" tablet to the store instead. We need a way to sync and merge edits and additions automatically across all devices.

A welcome change from printing out my price book or trying to update with pen and paper in the grocery store. Easy to understand interface. I like that I can set my default unit of measurement and it handles bulk packaging pricing beautifully (I buy a lot that way). Only thing I'd add to make it perfect for my needs would be a way to sync my price book with my partners since we both do the shopping. Went pro almost immediately.

W70%
by W####:

Works great, but some missing features that seem obvious to me: - Set units for comparison per item (eg. show unit price in kg or 100g even if package is in oz) - Sort price history by unit price (if best price is out of stock or expired sale) Lots of features that could be added, other reviewers have done a good job listing them, but part of the beauty is it's simplicity for shopping in real life. This is the most usable price book app I've been able to find. Thanks!

E70%
by E####:

I enjoyed this app for a long time. But I ran into limitations that stand in the way of my continued use. After entering many lists, my phone was stolen and I lost everything. I wish that items could be exported and imported from and to files. Also, I got really tired of manually entering everything. Ideally, it could scan and parse receipts. I know that's a lot to ask. But at least import data in some preset format (like CSV) that I create elsewhere. Please! I would be so happy if this were possible.

K70%
by K####:

Any good price comparison app should have price per unit and track the price at each store. This app has all of that. I've always wanted these features, but have not taken the time write it myself. The user interface could use a little polish, but it works well. One useful feature is remembering the item category as the default category. I would also like to share my price data with other users of the app.

A70%
by A####:

It's the app you need if you shop offline, at markets, brick and mortar shops, etc. I've tried others, this has a great interface, and works great. Suggestions for improvement: allow users select custom base price units (£/kg, £/100gr. etc) and show a price history. (If the cheapest shop is out of stock, what's my best alternative?) Thanks!

K70%
by K####:

I like being able to track and compare, but data entry is time consuming

B70%
by B####:

I am a big fan of managing my finance, budgeting and saving money and this app helps me keep track of items I frequently purchase and of where I get the best deals. Thank you!!

So Far ~ So Good. It does everything it advertises. I wish it had a Bar Code Scanner. Then I'd know I have one that works Every Time! I will figure out how to use the "Shopping List", I will .....

C70%
by C####:

Finally a shopping list with emphasis on price comparison. It could be better on comparing shops. It is also somewhat annoying with ads and review reminders.

K70%
by K####:

This app is what I've been looking for! It keeps track of prices effectively, so it's great when looking through flyers and planning a shopping trip. The shopping list function then works well in store, grouping items logically for efficiency.

K70%
by K####:

Would give fifth star if I could easily share the data with my husband. Can you email a data file without (risky) full network access?

P70%
by P####:

Like previous comments this app would be a 5 star if it would sync between devices. It does what I was looking for, a way to track and compare unit prices.

K70%
by K####:

This app is great, I downloaded it after a visit to costco thinking there must be an app to record unit prices to see whether you're actually saving money, & that's exactly what this does! I paid for the pro version to remove ads & enable backups (and to support the developers of course). The main improvement I'd like is to add my own product categories (e.g. World Foods, Seasonal) and to delete categories & units that I know I will never use (even if this functionality is made only available in pro)

D70%
by D####:

Simple, straightforward, very handy. I only wish I could create a group list so that as close friends do shopping I can integrate the prices they find into my own list.

K70%
by K####:

Serves it's purpose, but doesn't have nearly enough currencies. Should include a free text field so one can manually enter a currency.

H70%
by H####:

Wouldn't work on my Samsung Android tablet. No button to add an item or create a shopping list. Maybe it's under the advertising but it is inaccessible in any event making this app useless.

M70%
by M####:

Won't allow me to enter any items. Update: I have tried numerous times to enter information. I type it all in, hit save, but it never shows up in items. I really want it to work!

M70%
by M####:

This app is the only reason I kept my android when I switched to iphone... there is no comparable i-app. I can put in costs of any item, usually by oz or other individual quantity (1 bar, 1 bag etc) and I can quickly compare if the 36 Clif bars at Costco is a better deal that the 12 at Walmart on a price per bar basis, or per whatever unit I'm looking at (price per oz of ketchup for example). If you do the easy task of inputting once, you need only to enter changes thereafter. Pro version you can backup!

N70%
by N####:

The only thing I would add is the ability to sort the shopping cart by store. Otherwise I love this app!

I70%
by I####:

Love the app that's why I bought it a while ago. Little things would be nice. Since I have a Amoled display it would be nice if I could switch to a dark theme and tell the app to keep my phone unlocked. The other thing that would be nice is a normalization. Let's say that I always want to see the kg prices no matter if I put in grams or pound. Would make it easier to compare. Last thing would be an option to import the csv. This way I could easily add prices quickly or share them with friends.

M70%
by M####:

it does everything a Canadian Frugalista needs ... tracks prices of different units. Searchable. Creates lists that remind you of the best price you've seen. Keeps history. Lets you share lists. Much better than Sharky or Out-of-milk or Pricebook. But does take significant memory for my older android

M70%
by M####:

Massive, fatal flaw. I thought this app would be great. I enter my favorite products, like Carr's Water Crackers: and if I add the price at each local store, I can track which store consistently sells it the cheapest, right? Wrong. You can do *everything* with this app: EXCEPT easily find out which store has the best deal! I entered "Carr's Water Crackers", price per ounce, store, Walmart. Then I added the next entry for the same item, price per ounce, store, Safeway. IT DELETED WALMART. I was confused. I added the price for Costco. IT DELETED SAFEWAY! Seems you can't add the price of multiple stores for each item. D: So if I wanted to know the price of Carr's Water Crackers at 8 local stores, I'd have to add the same crackers to the app 8 times! That means, if I want to track 100 items across my local 8 stores: I HAVE TO ENTER THE ITEMS 800 TIMES! Holy Cow! :( Please, please add the ability to keep the product's price at different stores in a neat, organized list, sortable by best deal! This app would be AMAZING if it did that!

Y70%

In setting I have "Calculate Cost Using: Most Recent Price" but it does not work. It always uses best price.

C70%
by C####:

I bought it and I'm having a hard time editing back-up in pc and restoring.

M70%
by M####:

Works exactly as expected. I have known I needed a price book for a long time but they always seemed so complicated to create. This app makes it easy to do. I've been using it for 4 weeks now and my only request is a way to sync to the computer because it would be easier to enter data with an actual keyboard. Purchased the license after the first week to get rid of ads and have the ability to back up. Well worth the price.

M70%
by M####:

Used together with the Flipp App and the Favado App it is an EXCELLENT tool for shopping wisely and saving (as long as you are willing to enter and track data, and drive to different stores to complete your shopping). There is always room for improvement (including changing units of measure, once added, different sorting criteria and importing of sales data, as the Favado App does).

My daughter raves about it but I have an iPhone. I like your features, and so far can't find them combined on any apple apps. Do you have plans to release it in anything other than android?

Q70%

Would love for you guys to make a web version also. My fingers get tired going back and forth on a small screen. Hope you'd do it soon.

by B####:

I like the app so far even would buy the pro if you could sync across devices like me and my wifes phones. Didnt see an option for comparing item count ie 70 count tissue to 100 count tissue, whats best price per tissue. Custom setting doesnt seem to do the comparison.

J70%
by J####:

My favorite price book app. I've had no issues at all with my Moto X (1st gen) phone, and I save money every week using it. Just wish it had an online version where I could type prices in at my laptop instead of needing to use my phone.

Would give fifth star if I could easily share the data with my husband. Can you email a data file without (risky) full network access?

Has every feature i was looking for save one, barcode scanning. Without a doubt the most useful price and shopping list app on the store

R70%
by R####:

One of the best apps for tracking your list.

X70%
by X####:

It's quick and easy to use and helps me when I'm out at a new store to check in a second if they're cheaper than my usual place.
