Cuántas veces nos pasa que vamos a una tienda y recordamos vagamente el precio del mismo producto en otra tienda... Con Savy ya no nos volverá a pasar. Apunta los precios y las cantidades para calcular el precio por unidad, Kg, metro o litro. También sirve como lista de la compra deslizando el producto hacia la izquierda. Si una tienda tiene un precio más caro pero te gusta más, puedes marcarla como favorita. A todos nos gusta lo simple así que no hay publicidad ni registro. Tampoco tenemos datos personales ni de uso de la aplicación.
