Pros and cons of CompareMe Price Comparison app for iPhone and iPad

CompareMe Price Comparison app good for

This is a simply wonderful, simple app that is a full-time money saver. The only possible improvement would seem to be the ability to compare 3 or 4 items at the same time. If you shop without this app, you are uselessly giving away your money; so, Dont leave home without it!.

This is such a great app for grocery shopping - especially sine where I live they dont put unit prices on the label. It can be kind of slow to put all the info in, but really thats the only drawback I have! I sometimes find its usually a better deal to get the smaller packs, especially when only the smaller packages are on sale.

Some bad moments

A very important advantage of this program is that you can quickly figure out the cost of a package at the alternate price. Missing a CLEAR button and perhaps an way to compare more than two items. Alain

With the economy the way it is, an app like this is invaluable. Heading out and doing your shopping vs any product really you can use this to help you figure out what is the best deal on the spot. You can change your units and compare so you know that your getting a deal. I have used this a few times and it has already proven itself.

I bought this app because I needed to know which was a better deal on lactose free Milk: (A) 1.89 L for $2.99 or (B) 96 FL oz. for $5.85--well there was a bug with FL oz. so I wrote the developer and they thanked me for detecting the problem and had it fixed and updated with a few days. Very responsive--and it turns out I was overpaying by 23% when buying option (B). But CompareMe can also help with setting specific prices, margins or or discounts (great for store owners/sellers of any kind) and even help negotiating a deal. Would be great if you could save comparisons for future use if prices changed or if you could email them.

This app is a wonderful way to compare different items and thus will help you to save money if used. My one gripe is that I cannot stand the numeric keyboard layout. It is upside down from a normal calculator. Perhaps some dont really care, but for those of you used to a normal calculator keypad, it takes extra time to input your values because the numeric keys are not where you expect them. I would hope that the developer would correct this, or in the very least, provide a toggle option so you could choose your preferred layout. Once corrected, Ill give that fifth star. Updated on 3-2-09: Imagine that, the developer did correct the keypad. I absolutely love it when they listen to their customers. Ive changed my rating to five stars. Ill provide that all elusive sixth star if you provide a bit of audio feedback on the keypad (click sound) so as to make it "feel" more like real buttons rather than just a piece of glass that it is ;-) But as it stands, this is one excellent app at doing what it was designed for.

I was at the supermarket on Saturday night and I decided to use one of these price comparison apps to compare the price of Crystal Lite Peach Iced Tea (whether to buy enough to make 8 quarts or 12 quarts, at 2 different prices of course). The iPhone app I had on my phone at the time was Compare It but I found it confusing to use and not very user friendly. When I got home from the supermarket, I went into the App Store and started searching for similar apps. Of the 4 or 5 other ones I found, I liked this one, CompareMe, the best, but when I went to the developers web site to find out if I could compare volume size in terms of US quarts, US quarts was not listed, and so I was kind of bummed out. Then I decided to e-mail the developer to find out if US quarts was going to be added as a measure of volume in a future release, as another reviewer mentioned how responsive the developer was to his/her input. Well, I woke up early this morning (Sunday) to find an e-mail from the developer thanking me for pointing out that US quarts was not listed on his web site as a volume of measurement, as he told me that US quarts is a volume of measurement available for use in the application but that he had forgotten to include it on the web site. I thought, "Wow! What terrific support, even on a weekend when you wouldnt expect to get a response back so quickly!". I then checked the developers web site and US quarts was now listed as a volume of measurement that can be used by the app. So the developer was not only responsive to me individually regarding my question but he also was quick to update his web site to include the previously missing information. I proceeded to purchase the app, I tested it out based the price comparison I was doing at the supermarket last night, and it was so much easier and much more user friendly than the Compare It app I used to have, which I have since deleted. And after I used CompareMe to make the price comparison, it was nice to see the compared savings in terms of not only how much money I saved in buy the 8 quart package vs. the 12 quart package, but also in terms of % of difference. So I wholeheartedly recommend this application if you youre looking for a price comparison app to get for your iPhone/iTouch, not only because of its ease of use and user friendly interface, but also because of how quickly the developer is in responding to concerns/inquiries you may bring to his attention.

I wanted to do s simple calculaton, to compre and see if 20 bottles of 20oz water for $3.00 was a better deal then 24 oz of water for $3.29. I dont see how this app can do it??
