### 2/5 — Great concept but doesn’t work

*2026-07-28, version 1.7.6*

The app is a great concept except that it doesn’t work. For example adding products to favourites doesn’t work. Items don’t end up in favourites.

### 2/5 — Aging App

*2026-06-22, version 1.7.6*

This used to be awesome back in the day but the only thing that’s changed is the increased amount of ads. There’s much more comprehensive apps these days like Szumark. Nevertheless, thank you for your legacy!

### 2/5 — Not updating

*2026-02-23, version 1.7.6*

Many a time have I been surprised to find half price items from the app were full price in the store, and vice versa. Just not reliable hence usable at all. Which of course is a pity since it could be very useful indeed.

### 3/5 — ‘like’ function needs improvement

*2025-10-10, version 1.7.6*

1. If I ‘like’ something, it needs to reappear on the ‘this week’ tab each week it returns to 1/2 price.
2. catalog not complete enough, and items not always categorised correctly.
3. I should have the option to view ALL products, including ones not currently 1/2 price. Due to the incomplete catalog, I often cannot tell if the product I want is not 1/2 price; or simply not on the app. I usually end up googling which defeats the purpose of this app.

### 4/5 — Helpful and time saving

*2025-08-29, version 1.7.6*

So helpful but only shows coles and Woolworths. Adding other supermarkets would be helpful

### 3/5 — I think we have moved on from half price

*2025-07-28, version 1.7.6*

App worked well a few years ago but I t hink it is not so effectivethese days.
Things that were half price a while ago maybe discounted but not by 50%, they do not appear anymore.
To me 30% discount plus may be more effective.

### 2/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time

*2025-06-14, version 1.7.6*

This app is Garbage & a Complete waste of Your time .

### 3/5 — This weeks favourites is broken

*2025-03-05, version 1.7.5*

Nice to be able to select items I’m interested in as a favourite but if I did that last week and they are still on special this week they should still appear in the This Week favourites list. I want to see which of my favourites are on special this week. At the moment the list is only showing what favourites I made a favourite this week which is not as useful.

### 2/5 — Price not accurate

*2024-11-23, version 1.7.5*

Price not accurate many times. Better always double check in the official supermarket website or app to avoid waste time going to store expecting one thing and not find it.

### 2/5 — No ability to report errors

*2024-08-21, version 1.7.5*

Neither Report an issue or Contact Us seem to be real buttons. It’s annoying when products are listed that don’t correspond with any of the stores, but more annoying that there is no way to communicate with the app team to alert them.

### 4/5 — Potential plus

*2024-04-18, version 1.5.6*

Good app, functional useful info and has potential to be fantastic by adding other retailers as they sell toiletries & supplements at great prices like - e.g. Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, IGA have good half price specials too, sky’s the limit really Look forward to what’s coming on board

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No essentials here!

*2026-05-04, version 1.7.6*

Zilch!

### 1/5 — Not Groceries

*2026-04-15, version 1.7.6*

I’m sorry, but this misleading. This app shows you prices on luxury items, not essentials! Ice cream, soft drinks and biscuit deals is not what I want or need! I need staples like vegetables, bread, milk. Not how this app is supposed to help anyone. If your biggest problem is is finding cheap ice cream, this app is for you

### 1/5 — Constant glitches

*2025-12-31, version 1.7.6*

Lots of half price specials missing. When I give a ‘star’ to many products it doesn’t then come up under favourites. But random other products that I had previously liked even many months ago are suddenly started again.

### 1/5 — Schweppes Mineral not on special

*2025-11-25, version 1.7.6*

Incorrect pricing

### 1/5 — All junk food

*2025-08-30, version 1.7.6*

Sadly this app is just promoting junk food with very little real healthy products like meat n veg n fruit. Plenty of junk that’s about it.

### 1/5 — Unable to log in

*2024-10-19, version 1.7.5*

Very disappointing since I have taken it as a must-have upon arriving in au, but cannot even get into the access page while the other apps work perfectly fine.

### 1/5 — Does not show rank anymore

*2024-08-17, version 1.7.4*

Which was the best feature. 

The app used to rank products by other customers likes. It was easier to see what other people liked most and find the mist valuable deals.

### 1/5 — Wrong inaccurate with errors

*2024-05-28, version 1.5.6*

Application often lists products that are not on sale, or identifies products on sale for another store or doesn’t include all sale items. Not a reliable application

### 1/5 — Half price my a**

*2024-02-29, version 1.5.6*

I regularly check prices to find items cheaper elsewhere. Head and shoulders shampoo, regular price $22.00, rubbish! Electric toothbrushes are always half price!! How do they get away with it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t reflect actual store or online prices at all

*2024-02-28, version 1.5.6*

Some sales are legitimate but I’ve the olive oil, dishwashing tablets, washing detergent all inflated prices that have been “halved”. - still cheaper online and even more so if you join loyalty program of woolies etc. Junk!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Convenient & Highly Recommend

*2026-06-10, version 1.7.6*

This app is beautifully designed as it is only "One Click" app. You install it and put your postcode and that's it, You will get to see Best & Hot deals on the supermarkets. Save you huge hassle and no need to run to market to check the prices. Highly Recommend to download. Have a Great Day.
