### 5/5 — Use it every week

*2026-03-10*

The flyer price scan feature was wonky at first but it got fixed and works fantastic, I use this every week to save money on groceries. Usually save like $20 a week

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-01-18*

Does not work. Tried several times to use it and never could it compare prices.

### 1.6.2 — 2026-01-19

The previous version was having issues with my Google places API. I needed to refactor and update the API key that was being used in the build and this key inherently had one characteristic incorrect inducing, a stale build in development. This was not an issue in development, but when pushing production, there was an issue with the key. This should now be resolved. Please let me know if this issue continues.
