What Pricerix is and how it works

Idea

We often buy the same products we like from the same online stores, that we trust. Sometimes these stores have discounts. We like to buy items at a discount, but we don't like spending time tracking them down. So we thought it would be a good idea to automate that process. That's how Pricerix came to be.

Project

We originally thought of developing a desktop app or browser plugin for ourselves. But then we decided to make the service available for general use and the obvious choice was an application for mobile devices. After all, push notifications are very convenient.

The Android app is currently available. The application for Apple™ devices is under development.

Application

We wanted to make the application interface as simple and clear as possible. It consists of just 2 tabs, which you can switch between using the buttons on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen:

- Switches to the built-in browser, where you can open online shopping sites and select products to track. Tapping again loads the Pricerix start page with a list of stores popular in your country.

- Switches to the program control panel where you can view the list of tracked items, the list of price change notifications, and the program settings.
