iCompare Prices is a very simple, but extremely useful application. We wrote it for those times when you are at your local Supermarket trying to decide which offer on Beer is the best one to go for. As it's not always the one with the big red Special Offer label on it, and some supermarkets don't display the price per litre. While it was initially written for comparing beer prices, you actually can use it to compare anything. It will also advise if 2 different sizes / quantities are the same value (you will get 2 or more green highlighted lines instead of the usual 1). We've added a "Normal Mode" which you can toggle between by swiping or simply shaking the device. It is also Country Settings aware so if you are in the UK prices will be displayed in £, if you are in the US you will get a $ etc. etc. This is set by going to Settings, General, International, Region Format. The app will save settings after each price compare, so if you always compare similar sized items you will only have to adjust the price next time. Additionally there are two sets of settings one for Beer Mode and one for Normal Mode.
