Competitive Analysis

This app is a virtual fridge on your smart phone that tells you when your items are running low. Items are scanned onto the phone using the barcode scanner. When an item is running low, the app will notify the user. This app also allows users to save time by giving the quickest route to get all items at a supermarket along with helping users stay on their diet when they continue to scan and buy special products. 


Competitive Analysis


Competitor 1 URL: http://techland.time.com/2011/05/27/supermarkets-map-app-shows-quickest-routes-to-things-on-your-list/              This competitor is called Tesco. It is similar to my app because this app also gives a turn by turn route to give the user a suggested route  that is quickest way for finding all the stuff on a shopping list. The difference with my app is that it is for all smartphones and not only for Androids like this competitor. Also for this app, this is the only feature that is used for the app. On the other hand, my app comes with different features, for example, the virtual fridge, the diet feature, and the coupon feature.

                This competitor is called Red Laser. It is similar to my app because it also scans items and finds the prices of the item at different locations. This app is also available for all smartphones. The difference with this app is that it shows prices from local stores and  online websites, when my app only shows local supermarkets. After reviewing this competitor, I feel like it would be better if my app included prices from online websites too.
Summary
               In conclusion, after reviewing these competitors I have noticed that my app can add more features to top my competitors. The positive thing about my app is that it  does not only have one use for the app but it has several uses. This makes my application top my competitors because most of their apps have only one main use.
