Hi all,

Prino is a price tracking app which helps you to find what you want at the lowest possible price. By adding alerts for your favourites, you'll get notified when the price drops to a certain threshold. It is really helpful for:
- Frequently buy products, only top-up when the price is at the lowest
- Price comparison
- Price matching and bargaining at stores
- … and many other cases

Comparing to Prino (free version), Prino Pro has no ads, no daily limit on favourites, up to 6 months of price history for more than 2 million products from 130+ stores.

Links to download:

A couple of highlighted features in the latest release 1.5:

  • Interactive price chart
  • Dark mode
  • Improved home screen for a much better experience

This deal is not as good as the freebie deal last time https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/546063. However, it will help us in the further development of Prino.

Thank you for your support!

      Hi @ReadOnly. I really understand the frustration when using something with bad user experience. The new release (1.5) was based on lots of constructive feedback from the previous freebie deal discussions.

      I would really appreciate if you could share what you don't like so we can work on improving it.

    How often do you add stores?

    • Associatedprino @ evolit-pty-ltd on 01/08/2020 - 08:03

      Pretty often I would say. In the last less than 6 months we've added ~125 stores (the very first release has 6 stores only https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/515014).

      • BL1TZKRE1G on 01/08/2020 - 08:06

    This community has provided you with significant suggestions and feedback for free and in return you want to charge them. It seems product is still under development so make it free to the community. Not that I will download it again.

    • INFIDEL on 01/08/2020 - 08:47
      +7

      There were 8212 clicks for the app when it was free. Seems a fair contribution (@$5.99 ea) to this community for its input then.
      338 upvotes & no negs.

      App has improved. Now 99c for those who missed the last Deal.

      You say you received it free in last Deal, you downloaded, but you are complaining it's only a $5 discount in this Deal??
      It's free to reinstall - just tried on Android.

        • Associatedprino @ evolit-pty-ltd on 02/08/2020 - 01:37

          The free app gives you 3 months of price history. However the top and bottom line on the price chart are always the highest and lowest ever respectively.

      Some already come from other sites like price hipster, so expect some will be found on this app in future.

      Seriously, OzBargain should consider teaming up with or invest/ buy this app and put as many stores and products on it as quickly as possible, then us shoppers would be able to find every bargain available.

    Got it, looked up “Sonos” and the results look like price hipster but just in an app.
    Not going to let myself have an option off a full 60seconds of use but straight up noticed that it didn’t (well doesn’t appear to) pull prices from Amazon and that was surprising.
    I’ll give it another go at some stage.

    • Associatedprino @ evolit-pty-ltd on 01/08/2020 - 10:29

    Great app. I hope you grow bigger and bigger. Some feedback. Adding ability to filter on categories within a store or otherwise would be great. This helps because currently if i select Big W it shows 1000 different items but i am not interested in most of them (cosmetics, for example)

      I really appreciate it 🤗. Filtering on categories globally is in our development pipeline for the next release of the app. At the current stage, you only can filter by category when searching within a particular store. E.g. Press on the search button at the top right corner, select Big W, then filter by category at the top left under the search bar.

    I've spent a few minutes looking at your web browser version. It's clearly got potential, but it's a pity it looks so similar to Pricehipster :/ and seems to use the same data feeds… so I guess there'll be the same problems as Pricehipster. (You could at least try to be more open than Pricehipster about when data is patchy/unreliable/incomplete. I'm sick of Pricehipster not disclosing that its dataset is incomplete — when all of Woolworths is unavailable for a few days, or the fact that Priceline's feed is never complete, or when price alerts vanish because a product has been recoded on the retailer's site.)

    • Associatedprino @ evolit-pty-ltd on 01/08/2020 - 10:58

      Hi @bloomer. Thank you for trying it out. Our web version is really out of date and not being maintained. At this stage, the mobile app is much richer in term of features and easier to use. We are aware of those weaknesses and will tackle them one by one.

Developers of the app are making real effort to ingest the feedback and improve the app. I’m personally very happy with the App and would buy to save a lot more on my future purchases.

    We've just identified an issue which makes signed in users have to sign in again when using the app the second time. We've put out a fix to ensure that it won't happen again after the second time using the app. Sorry for any inconvenience it may cause.

    We also noticed an increased error rate which might lead to sometimes (low chance) not being able to add some products to your favourites after signing in. We are investigating the root cause and will push out a fix when it's ready. In the meantime, you could either restart the app or sign out and in again if it happens. Sorry about that.

    • Associatedprino @ evolit-pty-ltd on 03/08/2020 - 21:34

  • StuBargainHunter on 01/08/2020 - 22:14

    OP - Nice one. Bought your app thinking it might come in handy sometime down the track, and have already found a passport wallet on clearance that I have been looking for for months! The app has already paid for itself.

    Suggestion - Introduce a home screen/popular tab which shows the most clicked on links. Aspiration - analyse the clicking behaviours of individuals and introduce a 'most relevant' filter.

    • Associatedprino @ evolit-pty-ltd on 02/08/2020 - 01:14

      That’s a great suggestion. We’ll definitely think about it and find a way to do it as efficient as possible. Thank you so much.

    • Associatedprino @ evolit-pty-ltd on 02/08/2020 - 01:26

      And by the way I would love to hear more stories like this using Prino. I personally use my own creation and saved quite a bit. By showing a price history while shopping at Harvey Norman for a new fridge, I managed to get a great deal (really close to the lowest price in the last 6 months) even if the fridge was not on sale at Harvey Norman. I saved more than $200 there plus $150 on LG cash back program.
