[prMac.com] Loveland, Colorado - Floating Radish, LLC today is pleased to introduce PriceMouse 1.0, a free app for iPhone and iPod touch that simplifies comparison shopping, helping users save money on their groceries and other frequent purchases. PriceMouse keeps track of prices the user has seen and uses those prices to identify the store with the best price for each product. Because its price data comes from the user, PriceMouse works absolutely everywhere, from big chain grocery and superstores to local minimarts.
PriceMouse also performs unit price comparisons, so users can find the best value when comparing different sizes of the same product.
"I was shocked when I read that larger so-called 'economy' sizes are actually a worse deal 25% of the time," says Floating Radish, LLC founder James Huddleston. "People are trying to save money, and instead they're being tricked into overpaying. With PriceMouse's automatic unit price comparisons, people can avoid being fooled like that anymore."
In a nutshell, PriceMouse provides a simple, straightforward way to compare prices on frequently-purchased products.
Key features:
* Price comparison - When shopping for an item, PriceMouse identifies the store that has the best price on that item. Prices at other stores are shown for comparison. PriceMouse conveniently highlights the current store and informs the user when the current store has the best price.
* Automatic unit price comparison - PriceMouse automatically compares unit prices, finding the best value on each product regardless of size or location. Users can quickly tell whether the 6-pack or the 12-pack of cola is a better buy, even if the 6-pack is in one store and the 12-pack is in another.
* Easy number entry - PriceMouse streamlines price entry. A "quick entry" button lets users record the current price of an item with a single tap. When numbers need to be entered, PriceMouse presents a custom number pad with large finger-friendly buttons.
* Fast navigation - PriceMouse includes search capabilities, so users can quickly find products simply by typing a few characters. PriceMouse also lets users assign a picture to each product, making it easy to scan the product list visually.
* Price logging - PriceMouse lets the user log prices from any date in the past. Price logging is a great way to get started with PriceMouse; a user can simply review the receipt from a recent shopping trip and enter a few key prices.
* Shopping list planning - PriceMouse lets users virtually browse stores and compare prices. This feature lets users take store prices into account when creating shopping lists.
* Price histories - Questions such as "Wasn't this item a lot cheaper last week?" can be answered with ease, since PriceMouse remembers and can display all the prices the user has entered.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone or iPod touch
* iOS 4.3 or later
* 1 MB
Pricing and Availability:
PriceMouse 1.0 for iPhone and iPod touch is currently free and is available only in the US through the App Store in the Productivity category.
