New Feature in Version 2.3.0: Shake gesture to clear & reset products

CompareMe is a perfect companion for price conscious shopping, price negotiations, bargaining and much more.

This utility application compares and converts prices of products with many different package sizes, volumes, and lengths. Discounts and premiums are calculated and displayed directly or can be set by the user.

You can set prices, amounts or discounts really fast with the optimized number keyboard. Selecting the right unit with the unit-picker is simple, too. Converting prices and transferring package sizes by drag-and-drop turns CompareMe into a powerful but a more than easy to use mobile app.

But to keep the long story short: Just watch the application walkthrough video on the application website to the idea of it.

Reviews:
"The entire application has been designed for speed — buttons are large, text is easy to read, and color-coded results are instantly understandable." Kate Dohe, Macworld, 4.5 of 5 mice

"One of the nice things about CompareMe, besides it simplistic style and perfect function, is the fact that everything is easy to use." Robert M. Barga, Blogcritics Magazine, 4 of 5 stars

Features:

  • Long list of supported mass, volume, surface and length units like ounce (oz), pound (lb), gram (g), kilogram (kg), petrol gallon (gal US) or imperial gallon (gal GB), foot (ft), inch (in), yard (yd) or meter (m).
  • NEW Feature: CompareMe now supports also the number of products - to compare packs of products.
  • Easy to use number keypad for fast input on the go.
  • Calculation of resulting premium or discount.
  • Desired premium or discount can be set.
  • Actual price can be converted to other package size via drag and drop gesture.
  • Package size can be converted to other price level drag and drop gesture.
  • Integrated help.

by Jon62690 - 01/12/2009 - 22:41

I'd like to try it out as I go grocery shopping every week. I've tried other similar apps, but haven't found one worth using when grocery shopping. Could CompareMe be the one that's both simple and functional? I'll be sure to give an in depth review if I get a code.

Only a few codes left ... but you've got one ;-)

by codedifferent - 01/13/2009 - 00:30

Hi Jonathan,

I think CompareMe is the perfect grocery shopping tool ... but now you can test it out by yourself and share your experience with the community. So I'm really looking forward to read your experiences.

Have a great day!

Thanks

by Jon62690 - 01/13/2009 - 03:15

Thanks for the code. I tried it out and it seems really good so far. However I am going to wait and try this out when I go grocery shopping. I will write a review of my experiences afterwards. Thanks again for the code!

Hi cmsy27!

Hope you had creepy Halloween, yesterday ;-) And I hope you received the promo code I sent to you.

I'm really looking forward to read your review.

And good look for your review blog you just started! I think you have to adjust the background picture /color there ... looks strange now.

Thanks for the code!

by cmsy27 - 11/01/2009 - 22:12

Hi! I did get it. It's just been a bit hectic these days so I've had no opportunity to try the app out. Today's a holiday though, and I'm going grocery shopping later -- can't wait to use CompareMe!

I'll send you another message once I get the reviews up.

Thanks! What's wrong with the blog page? Haha. It's supposed to be a Halloween look, but I've optimized it for the standard 1280 x 800 screen. Let me know!

Hi there,

Very interested in giving this app a spin.

Will post review in exchange for code.

Here's the code ... curious about your review ;-)

sorry that it took so long ... I just missed your posting here. But I just sent you a promo code so you can test and review CompareMe. Hope you find it useful and save money :-)

Awesome app!

by cmsy27 - 11/02/2009 - 09:14

Hi codedifferent,

Just reviewed your app on http://app-reciationreviews.blogspot.com/ and submitted one on iTunes under cmsy27. Thanks, this is a really helpful app. Where I live there are plenty of markets where bargaining's the norm; now it'll be easy with CompareMe!

E-mail us at app.reciation.reviews@gmail.com for more feedback. =)

thanks for the catch :-)

by codedifferent - 11/03/2009 - 03:23

Be honest when you review an app!

by codedifferent - 11/08/2009 - 15:42

Hi Torakaru!
be honest when you review an app ... so, after testing and reviewing CompareMe you can decide how much stars this app is worth.
Sure, I personally hope CompareMe is worth 5 stars ... but it is absolutely you decision!

No problem I will be so
