### 5/5 — Must have app

*2015-05-29, version 2.1*

When the supermarkets put on exciting, tempting offers, they cleverly manage to baffle you with numbers. This app allows you to see through the b******t and find the genuine bargains. I'm really glad that I downloaded it.

### 4/5 — Useful in Supermarkets

*2013-04-12, version 1.3*

I find this a handy little app when deciding which so called offer to take in the supermarkets to find a real deal.

### 5/5 — Very simple to use

*2012-05-24*

Like it n easy to use it. U can get the period from setting. Hope the pricing box can be wider to see all figures. Thx!

**Developer response:** Thanks and good that you find the period setting useful. I've made a note to widen the price boxes in the next update - sorry for the long delay!

### 1/5 — Useful but!

*2010-10-20*

There's still no decimal point in the keyboard entry. At least not on my 32GB iPod Touch using OS4.1.

### 3/5 — Keyboard needs a period

*2010-09-04*

The Keyboard needs a period for when you type a price in.
