I scanned a bottle of Starburst Sparkling Ice. It showed 1.48 at Walmart. Wrong. It’s 97 cents. And actually, all three options of the scan were the same amount. You are better going on each store’s app for comparison. ### 1/5 — Not great *2025-04-23* So far all I’ve been able to do is take a picture of a product and it looks it up, but there’s no function for scanning the barcode or typing in the product you’re looking for. I haven’t been able to do that I don’t know if it’s incapable operator but when you can’t get any further than taking a picture, how can you find out if the rest of it works? Also, it only compares three different store prices Walmart, Amazon, and Target so if you’re looking for any other grocery stores nearby like Tom Thumb, Albertsons or Kroger, this is definitely not an app for you. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2025-04-22* Scanned one item 3 times; and the app identified it as 3 different products, none of them correct. Scanned another item… also incorrectly identified. Scanned one more item and it actually got it right, but it’s too little too late. Will try it again, but I’m not impressed. ### 1/5 — Error *2025-04-22* Thanks for the AppAdvice offer! I keep getting error messages no matter what type of different products I’m photographing. The app says “Error. Something bad happened. Please try again.” I am using an iPhone 14 Pro Max with the latest versions of iOS and your app. I’m sure this pop up is the result of some sort of bug. If it is not a bug, it would help to have more specific pop up information to tell users when a product is not in your system, as well as allowing users the ability to add them into your database. Let me know what is going on here, so I can update my rating/review. Unfortunately, the app is unusable as-is when I can’t get past this error pop up no matter the products I’m trying to photograph, so I can’t properly evaluate it. ### 1/5 — Limited in Real World *2025-04-21* Great idea but limited to only 3 stores, Amazon, Walmart and Target. And, not instantaneous in calculating prices. Unless you regularly shop at the above 3 stores, the App as it is now is not a great help. Hopefully the App can “widen its scope” in adding more stores. It may be too much of a Herculean task. ### 1/5 — Failed 5 out of 5 *2025-04-21* I tried scanning different items using barcodes and just images of the items. Every time it missed the item or was so generic as to be incomparable to what I may want. It appears it simply generically searches for items at target, Walmart, and Amazon. But no grocery stores/chains (Safeway, Albertsons, Publix, food lion = no grocery stores - just online and big boxes. It also didn’t show different sizes/options or sale prices. Which t me makes the app useless - I can get better results with a simple Google shopping search. Maybe it’s a simple beta-start but it is too basic to be useful to me. ### 1/5 — AppAdvice Download *2025-04-21* Downloaded from AppAdvice and it doesn’t function—locks on camera?? ### 2/5 — Article Must be Present *2025-04-22* Nice idea, but without an option to input what you need before heading to the store, you waste precious time. Also cannot see what version I have even though I got the Pro version. All it can do is open the camera to check what you aim it at! ### 2/5 — Inaccurate *2025-04-21* I downloaded and tested this on a couple products and checked it against the prices on the websites and it was inaccurate. Wouldn’t recommend. ### 3/5 — Promising but not ready for PrimeTime because... *2025-04-21* Great idea but the app only seems to use three retailers (Amazon, WalMart, and Whole Foods). What about Safeway, Von's, Fred Meyer, Natural Grocers, Albertsons, etc.,etc., etc.??? Three stars for trying but better get busy and add the many stores users shop at !!! Developer, if I've missed something here, please explain. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT!! *2025-08-03* Such an easy way to compare prices and save $$ ### 5/5 — Update information *2025-04-28* So easy to send an email through the App Store got a response very quickly was able to change my settings for both Canadian dollar and in Canada for preferred settings. East fix save a scan click on the top right corner change to preferred currency and change preferred country. ### 5/5 — Must Have for Smart Shoppers *2025-04-23* This app’s a game changer! It makes it super easy to find the best grocery deals. Just scan the barcode or search an item, and you’ll see which store has the lowest price!! I love deal alerts and savings tracker which makes budgeting easy. If you want to stop overpaying for your groceries, use this app ### 5/5 — Pretty accurate *2025-04-22* It seems pretty accurate every time I used it. I saved 50$ in my last grocery. Pretty useful. ### 5/5 — Save time comparing! I’ll take it! *2025-04-21* I like that it was able to do a comparison in a single scan. Simple and effective. Quickly gave me prices comparison for products when I have to choose quickly, I’m gonna reach for this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
