Liverpool has many smokin hot women no doubt and the nightlife scene is bumpin.

Forget about an app for supermarkets the second corona wave is just beginning. I'm looking for an app for discounted cremation.

I made an app for iPhone, and it may be helpful, or not, I don’t know. The app allows you to compare the prices of supermarkets in the UK.
As it searches directly in their websites, you can save a list and update the prices in a different day.

Here is the link:

It’s free.
