### 1/5 — Seriously Overpriced

*2016-07-02*

Whilst I do not doubt the integrity of the authors of this app, it appears to be in the relatively early stages of development and in my opinion is therefore seriously overpriced for what it is. Yes the information is extremely useful, but it is free elsewhere on the Internet and it is not set out in the app in anything other than basic cross referenced lists which do not include comparisons between or information on any brands of oil on the market. I am not happy that I have paid £3.99 for this. Either the price needs to be reduced substantially or a lot more development is required.
