Great app

I’ve been using this for years and years.
It’s great for quick comparisons of prices without being insanely over complicated. There’s no weights or measures, so you are only comparing units. As long as what you are comparing is the same for both (such as ounces, ml, etc) it’s fast. Basically just 4 entries and it tells which is a better buy. It hasn’t been updated in forever, but, when it works right, it works right, so what’s to update??

Love love this app!

It helps me compare items in the store down to the cents. I have little ones so I always need diapers, so knowing how many in the pack compared to price quickly is perfect.

Tight

This works well and comes in handy for splitting checks with my peeps.

Excellent app

Use it all the time. Works great, simple. 5 Stars.

Nice

Quite nice functionality, but looks a little ugly on my iPad mini 2. And there is no icon for it on my iPad mini 2, just Apple's generic placeholder graphic.
Update: looks better on my iPhone 6 Plus than on my iPad.
I like that it has several functions, and it's free and has no junk ads.
