ValueTracker App Reviews

Surprisingly useful...

The app is very fluid in its inputs and fast to use. I visit three markets, two farmers markets, Costco, and a little online shopping. Unobtrusive and fast to use to justify the time without being burdened by the data entry. Itd be nice if there was a tad more structure on the price and unit inputs so that it could auto notify if something is a better price elsewhere. Also, when visiting a store, itd be nice to mark a price as "last verified on". Cheers!

Great app

Just downloaded. Great little app, I love it. Would definitely have to agree with another reviewer though, it would be so much nicer to see product history (buy and reg price) per store all at once when you click on the circled i. Right now you can only view that per store. Again I also agree that the unit price within the product info would be much better then a separate tool.Those are two very key things for me and the only reason i didnt give this 5 stars.

Definitely worth $.99!

I just purchased this the other day, but we have used it for 2 shopping trips. I also played around with pseudo items to get the hang of it. There is still room for improvement, but it is much like my old pen and paper system which worked very well for me. I can see this will probably save me lots of time and the need to carry around all that paper! It would be awesome to see those highlighted in high priority in the rows of the search list. It would also be awesome for my list to be viewed by others in the area and vice versa(keeping write privileges to our own list but able to see other products for a particular store at a particular location). I may have future comments, but I just have to say this is pretty awesome!! ...... A few months later... I still really love this app, but it duplicates entries a lot...even after entering a quantity and then leaving to the store list and coming back. Not sure how to avoid duplication.

Totally Worth It

With the shopping list feature I always know how much my purchase total will be before I go into a store. Love that! And the price book is invaluable for knowing when a sale price is really a good deal. Ive been using this app for over a year and wouldnt shop without it.

Great app just have one suggestion

I have been desperately trying to find an app that would allow me to make a digital price book to track rock bottom sale prices at my local stores. As a couponer its important that I can create an accurate and personal price book that outlines things like size, price, unit price, and product picture its also nice if you can easily search for products you need. I LOVE this app because it does ALL of that. My only suggestion would be to add a way that I could add a comment to my product entry, I would love to be able to note that I used a coupon to get the product cheaper during that trip, to comment on how I liked the product, ect. Im not sure how hard it would be to add but I wanted to through that suggestion out there because thats all I need to make this the perfect price book app. Seriously user friendly and easy if you want a price book then look no further then this.

Needs iCloud sync

Love the app. I would like to see iCloud sync enabled.

Surprised

I have just downloaded the program. Its ok so far. I was just hoping to find a preloaded list to get me started or a barcode scanner so I dont have to input everything by hand. Please think about adding these to your app (especially the scanner).

Very nice, but...

It tracks unit prices and keeps a history per store, which is a must have for me, but I wish it was optimized for the iPad so I can see more of my list and have it clearer.

So much potential

This needs to be optimized for the iPad... The font is too big and is not crisp. Because of this only a few items are visible at a time. Ive also run into a few glitches.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I can keep track of price points of items across multiple stores and see at a glance at what price I should buy. Thank you for keeping the interface clean and not including coupons, ads, etc. I agree with a previous viewer that a comments field would be helpful.

Excellent budget tool

Each week I shop, I lose track of what I am spending and I go over my budget. This tool will allow me to track my expenditures and not lose sight of my finances. Also, I can finally ditch my pen and notebook I take shopping to manage my various lists.

Great App

Wonderful app. Easy to use. Fast and convenient . Just what I needed.

Great app!

It is a great app to have if you are a budget shopper. I wish it has a bar code scan function so I do not need to type the name. Maybe I am just too lazy.

Good... but wishing it gets great

So... although Ive just started using this app, it IS definitely the best of currently available (9/2014) apps for this purpose. However, why in the world doesnt it have barcode search/lookup using databases of groceries and products that are available for app developers?? Having to enter every little product detail is making this really painful to start using. This should be a primary and major priority for the developer! PLEASE! Then, can work on some interface usability tweaks to make it more intuitive, too. You (developer) are SO close to having a superbly useful, unbeatable, and successful app!

So far, so good

Got this app to help with our grocery bill and so far its helping. Kind of a pain to enter every item though.

Excellent Price Tracker

Easy to use. Has everything I need to keep a price book handy on my phone! Very satisfied!

Exactly what I was looking for

I used to make my own price books in Excel spreadsheets. That worked for me because I never found one with all the functionality I required. This app has it all, I love it!!

Good but...

This app is promising... But it would be great if it had a scanner and a way to compare the prices across multiple stores.

Good so far

I havent gotten very far, but adding products and updating prices seems easy. I havent done any trending yet.

Very good at its job

nothing else compares
