faster than 58% of Shopping apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About Penny: Deal Scanner & Alerts
Stores mark items down to a penny. They just don't tell you which ones.
Penny does. Live clearance, real price mistakes, and the $0.01 finds that never make it into an ad — with the aisle and bay, so you walk straight to the shelf instead of wandering the store.
PRICE GLITCHES
Real pricing errors, caught while they're still live. A 65" 8K TV at $1,977 that should have been $5,299. An electric scooter at $601, down from $1,399. These get fixed fast, so you hear about them fast.
IN-STORE CLEARANCE
Home Depot markdowns at the store you actually shop — down to the aisle and bay. Most finds save more than $50. No app tells you where the item is standing. This one does.
PENNY LISTS
Every week, items at Dollar General, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar quietly drop to $0.01. We publish the list before they're gone.
BARCODE SCANNER
Point your camera at anything to see the real clearance price. The shelf tag is wrong more often than you'd think, and it's almost never wrong in the store's favor.
SAVED DEALS & ALERTS
Save what you're hunting. We'll tell you the moment the price moves.
DISPONIBLE EN ESPAÑOL
Toda la app está en español, no solo un botón traducido. Ahorrar no debería tener barreras de idioma.
