Customer Reviews

Ok, needs some improvements (3 stars)
I like the UI. Calculates with no lag. Easily viewed to see how much you save off each item. You can name the category and the item.

Love it! Needs iPad version though ;) (4 stars)
Just what I was looking for! would love a store name field, iPad version & this should be found in the grocery apps, not sure why it's in finance. 5 stars for additional field for store name...now i'm using the brand name field for the store. Would be a nice, easy plus ;)

Frugal (4 stars)
Please add a store field! I would use it everyday if you added that.
