I Built An App To Solve Nigeria's Price Problem - What Do You Guys Think? by psalm121vs1(op): 11:04pm On Jun 16*

Hey Guys,

So I've been frustrated for a while now with how prices differ everywhere in Nigeria.
Like, I could buy rice for ₦60k in Lagos and my guy in Kano is paying ₦45k for the
same thing. How is that even possible? 😅

So I built an app called PriceSquad. Basically you can:
- Check prices of stuff across different states
- Submit prices you paid for things
- See what's actually going on in the market

It's pretty simple. You download, you check prices, you make smarter buying decisions.
Its on Google Play Store.
It's got like 90+ items (rice, beans,
fuel, phones, cement, all that). All 36 states too.

Right now it's just the app with basic features. But I'm planning to add more stuff
based on what people actually want.

If anyone wants to check it out and tell me what they think, would really appreciate
the feedback. You can download it on Google Play - just search "PriceSquad".

What do you guys reckon? Is this something useful or nah?

Chai My brother, Is it possible to have a spyware app pass the google play verification? The app does not even require you to create an account. Just check prices of stuff and submit your own price to help others. I understand your concerns but the app is totally free of such.

Why can't you attach screen shot of the app here before people download it, at least let's see how it look like before we download.

Like my people ex use to say, eye dey first eat before mouth.
