Wasted too many trips to the wrong stores to rely on this app. Tried looking for a report option to update with correct info like the gaspy app. Such a shame. ### 3/5 — Can be helpful, but! *2026-06-02, version 2.0.2* App can be helpful at times but very frustrating to get to super market and find the the price is last weeks and has not been updated. This happens way too regularly. ### 2/5 — Used to be a great app, but now priced too high *2025-07-10, version 2.0.1* The app now limits one to 6 stores. You have to become a subscriber at $6 per month to get more. Way too high for a casual user. I’d be happy to be $12 a year, what does this app think it is? Netflix? ### 4/5 — Great app *2025-06-29, version 2.0.1* This is great for comparing prices and works well. Only niggle on my iPhone is it keeps autocorrecting product names and not finding what I am looking for. ### 3/5 — Loved old version- Hopefully improving *2025-05-03, version 2.0.0* Loved loved loved the app before about a month or so ago when it just changed, I hadn’t even updated it. I noticed today there is a new update. So I’m hoping that this helps and fixes the issues. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old version please *2025-05-02, version 2.0.0* The new update is a failure ### 1/5 — Page just keeps loading *2025-04-28, version 1.0.2* This app was working on my ph a month ago , now it just keeps loading , won’t work ### 1/5 — Search function not working *2025-04-25, version 2.0.0* App seems good but the search seems to only work once then you need to close the app and restart to search for another item ### 2/5 — Better before the update *2025-04-24, version 2.0.0* I'm disappointed with the update. I feels it's lost functionality. The search engine is worse, now when I type in yoghurt the first option it gives is a yoghurt coated muesli bar! I loved the compact view of your list when doing shopping but it doesn't go so small now. I also liked that when you went to your list you could choose to shop at 2 (instead of the 4 on my list of shops) and it would give you the best options but now that it does individual supermarkets you can't pick to only go to two and thus get your list put into the next cheapest store. I guess I could delete say Woolworths from my list if I didn't want to venture to 3 different shops but that's annoying having to delete and re-add every time, especially when I didn't need to previously. Long grump to say restore the old version. ### 3/5 — Bring back the old version *2025-04-23, version 2.0.0* Prefer the old version ### 1/5 — New version has Software bugs *2025-04-23, version 2.0.0* I’m very sad to see this become a subscription based app over 6 stores this was my go to. $6 a month is extremely high why not do a straight purchase. New version has multiple software bugs. Camera doesn’t load up correctly each time and on launch the app now goes straight to the store selection which is odd. ### 2/5 — Great concept but user design experience is terrible *2025-04-23, version 2.0.0* Wonderful concept to compare prices. The user experience is awful, the list is very difficult to manage. It would be so much easier to have categories (baking, dairy, toiletries, cleaning etc etc) to have a standard shopping list while you’re at the supermarket. Also please find a way to group similar items together, not by brand name. It’s so unmanageable. I like this app but don’t use it regularly because the design is so clunky. Free text Search functionality is awful and inaccurate. ### 1/5 — Bring back the original! *2025-04-23, version 1.0.2* The original version was the best. Easy to use and navigate but since the update all I get now is the loading circle of death Back to the individual websites and a spreadsheet it is. If any broke why fix it! Disappointing as was a really helpful app. ### 1/5 — After updated I can’t use it anymore *2025-04-21, version 1.0.2* After updated I can’t use it anymore ### 1/5 — Keep loading *2025-04-20, version 1.0.2* App just keeps loading after recent update, not bothered to use this again. ### 4/5 — Great for price comparisons. Search needs refining *2025-04-18, version 1.0.2* I use this app every week to help me choose where to buy particular products on special. The recent update has changed the search function and it’s impossible to search for a particular product. The search is really broad and you can’t refine it down ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What’s going on *2025-08-28, version 2.0.1* I used this app for over a year no issues at all, loved it. Now it does nothing, I’ve deleted it, reinstalled it I don’t know how many times, updated it. Nothing. Just sits there with a loading symbol doing nothing at all. I miss this app so much!!! ### 1/5 — Constant upload required and freezes *2025-08-09, version 2.0.1* This used to be my favourite app, now it is just frustrating. Constantly requires ‘upload’ and then just freezes mid search. Really sad to see this app slowly die ### 1/5 — Reload app update *2025-06-30, version 2.0.1* Constantly prompts with an update no matter how many times I click upload. Also stops me selecting more than two supermarkets. Such a shame to see this app die a slow death. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-06-09, version 2.0.0* App won’t load under ios 18.1 - just constant buffering ### 1/5 — Page won’t load since update *2025-05-30, version 1.0.2* 😭 I initially loved this app, it has saved me heaps of money. Then the search engine was way out of whack, and now for the past couple of months it no longer loads on my iPhone 7+. I live in hope I will one day open it and it works again. ### 1/5 — No longer works after update *2025-05-11, version 2.0.0* iPhone 12 on latest iOS version and the app is now unusable. Even when it did work initially after the update it was a step backwards from the old version. Such a shame as used to be wonderful ### 1/5 — New version has Software bugs *2025-05-11, version 2.0.0* New version has multiple software bugs which is not being resolved. Camera doesn’t load up correctly each time to scan. Without scanner no worth a download. ### 1/5 — Don’t get this app *2025-05-05, version 2.0.0* I got this and was handy until the update and now nothing loads an unusable app waste of time ### 1/5 — app does not work anymore *2025-05-03, version 1.0.2* After latest update, the page just keeps loading, cannot sign in, cannot use anymore. Used to be a good app. ### 1/5 — Gross *2025-05-03, version 2.0.0* Beta version, and new update is buggy and not as intuitive to use as the previous version. Also maximum of 6 stores + pushing for people to purchase to use the pro version with the same features they offered for free previously. Nothing in life is free but this is a total money grab app now. Thanks but no thanks. I’ll go back to manually checking my stores & comparing prices. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Arguably one of the most useful apps I have *2026-08-09, version 2.0.2* Extremely helpful, time-saving, and accurate. Made my shopping experience so much more efficient and easy. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Saves you Money *2026-05-10, version 2.0.2* Looking to buy things on Special this App is great. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-07-29, version 2.0.1* Fantastic APP which suits my basic needs!! ### 5/5 — Not working on iPhone 7 (iOS 15.8) *2025-05-29, version 2.0.0* So sad! I loved this app. The update won’t load. The previous version loads but doesn’t function. I would be delighted if you could restore its functionality. ### 5/5 — v2 beta is HUGE if true *2025-04-13, version 1.0.2* the price history feature to me at least is revolutionary in the online market, the difference in the price of even cookies and fizzys changes heaps more than i’d realised. seperately the user interface is so much cleaner, it has a properly professional layout now this is such a great source of information i’ve found generally very reliable, 90% the price on the shelf matches this app perfectly and the other 10% its never super far off i do wish there was an option to create multiple lists or save items you’ve put in your list before to find again easier ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-13, version 1.0.2* I use this app every time I enter a supermarket now, it’s incredible the price differences. Have scroll for some things as they are not named as expected. I like that you can display lists by shop. Recommend to anyone who is budget savvy. ### 5/5 — Does what you want *2025-03-11, version 1.0.2* Amazing app! Perfect for looking up the price of items when I’m curious how much they cost across town. ### 5/5 — When will the app be updated to include more Park Pak n Save ? *2025-03-06, version 1.0.2* Can you add Highland Park Pak n Save and Wairau Pak n Save ? ### 5/5 — Super helpful - astounding how price varies in region *2025-02-24, version 1.0.2* Travelling a lot across nz. Made it easier to check prices. Feature request be I could tap store I will buy from for each item and app shows me shopping list across the 3 stores I’ll visit ### 5/5 — Amazing - follow up *2025-02-15, version 1.0.2* The dude who made this is app is a national hero. Excellent app. Follow up question - any chance you could add mitre 10? They have a lot of household grocery products --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
