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.
