User reviews

I’m obsessed

This app is amazing. I was trying to track potential purchases and calculate the amount saved if I did not ultimately purchase an item, but it was time consuming and onerous. In addition, it was difficult to lock in to a “wait time” for each item. This does all of the work for me and it is incredibly rewarding to click “I don’t need it” and see animated dollar bills fly up and my amount saved total increase! The only thing it is missing is an added dopamine hit in the form of a sound. This app is a game changer and with every bit of the subscription fee. I’m hooked.
