QuickAdvice: Make Intelligent Purchases With SpendWise
SpendWise ($1.99) by T3CH.com LLC SpendWise is an app that helps you make smart purchases. It compares how much an item costs, with how often you will use it, and how long it will last. The interface is very simple; the user plugs numerical values in and clicks “Calculate.” The results include how many hours will have to be worked for it to earn the money to buy an item, how many hours it will be used, and how much it will cost per use and per hour. It is a universal app and can be used on both the iPhone and iPad.
The app has a very clean and user friendly interface; no ads or unnecessary extras. The user has a few different options for calculating the cost of things. The “frequency of use” and “how long it will last” can be changed to calculate based on day, week, month, and year.
The only thing disappointing about the app, is the lack of a save feature. The app has no way of saving, sending, or recording items that you calculate. The developers might have designed this to be used briefly before purchases, though I think it would be very useful to have the ability to e-mail or save calculated items.
Overall the app is very useful and, if users take the time to input accurate information, this could help them make smarter purchases.
