Basket - Grocery Shopping 4+

I used multiple price comparisons apps including Flipp. So far Basket provided the best prices for common groceries. App is easy to use.

One suggestion for the developers is to provide the cheapest product first in given category in the search results. For an example, if search for 2% reduce fat milk, app should give the cheapest option as the first result rather than providing the all the brand of milk. At least, in the search provide the cheapest price so the user can decide to where to get it rather than checking each brand.

I downloaded the app because I thought it had a great feature where you could define your shopping list and it would find the cheapest place to buy those things. It absolutely does not do this. Unless you were only buying nationally marketed extremely fungible items like Kraft American cheese slices, it never finds two stores offering the same thing, so there is no price comprison unless youLook up different products for each different store individually remember the prices and later think about whether it’s higher or lower when you see another one on a different screen.

Unless you do it one by one multiplied by the amount of stores that you want to consider, you can’t ask what a pound of steak tips is and simply see the various options in a list, and you certainly can’t leave it to crunch your whole shopping list for you.

I suppose you can use this app to relatively quickly decide where to buy one item, but that’s as far as it goes.

App uses a somewhat confusing interface with no help or tutorial available. But my biggest issue is that it routinely does not find items/prices/stores. Many of my frequently-purchased products apparently can't be found by the app, but there's no error message, just a blank page. I've scanned in multiple UPC codes but the app still doesn't think certain items exist. Additionally, some stores are randomly left out of comparisons despite my entering them as favorites. I assumed this was because the item wasn't in stock, but checking stores' websites manually and physically checking the stores has proven the app doesn't routinely produce accurate info. Basket is more trouble than it's worth at this point because I'm always second-guessing it. I appreciate the concept and hope the app can be tweaked to actually work.
