Price Check (4 out of 5)

Here’s a pretty simple iPhone price check app. Basically, it provides you with the “bottom line” in terms of pricing. It’s a pretty intelligent app that gives you the actual savings you’ll incur just by simply telling the app the original price and sale price of an item you want to buy. If you’ve got additional savings coupons, Price Check can still calculate your true savings. A cool feature of this app is the shake or clear feature when you’re ready to check another item. (Price: $0.99) iTunes link.
