## Review summary

Reviewers generally find value in ShopSavvy for scanning barcodes and checking prices before shopping, and note it has worked well for years in the USA and UK. However, repeated updates have caused crashes and slow performance. A dominant complaint is ads and aggressive monetization, with reports of battery drain. Users also report unreliable item results, limited local store data, and price data from distant locations. Privacy concerns about trackers are mentioned. Overall, the app is useful when it works, but stability, ads, and data/privacy issues dampen its usefulness.

### Pros
