The prices, one tap away
Fuel, staples and what your neighbours are paying, without typing an address in first.
On your phone
Put LiveCheaper on your home screen
It takes two taps and no app store. You get an icon like any other app, it opens without an address bar in the way, and the parts you use in a supermarket keep working when the signal does not.
What that gets you
Snap a receipt on the spot
The camera opens straight from the icon, so a receipt gets checked while you are still in the car park.
Works in a shop with no signal
Your shopping list and the benefits checker are kept on your phone, so a dead spot in the aisles changes nothing.
A nudge before a deadline
An MOT, a tax date or a fixed price ending, if you ask for them. You choose what you hear about and can stop any of it.

Questions people ask
Is this an app from the App Store?
No, and there is nothing to download. The icon opens the same site you are reading now, full screen. That is why it takes two taps and no account with Apple or Google.
How much room does it take up?
Almost none. A few pages are kept on your phone so the shopping list and the benefits checker still work with no signal; the rest is fetched as you go, exactly as it is now.
Will it send me notifications?
Only if you ask it to, and only about what you choose. You can turn them on, off or down to one topic on your account settings.
How do I get rid of it?
Press and hold the icon and remove it, the same as any other app on your phone. Nothing is left behind and your account is untouched.
