User Reviews for Penny Finder

Totally worth the price ❤️ this app

I don’t buy to many apps but I came across penny finder and I wanted to learn more on how to save money. With this app I have been blessed! I have been able to help my family and donate to help others. It’s a great feeling to be able to help someone when you are the person that could use some help. I highly recommend this app and the Facebook group. I enjoy interacting with others who can relate and help each other. Very user friendly. Definitely know that you need to not just jump into finding deals. Make sure you watch the tutorial and study. In no time you will be a pro. The scanner is absolutely the best and I’ve never had any issues with it. The developers are awesome people who immediately contact you back with any issues you have. Try it! You will get your money back and more after your first successful trip. Bless you all!

Penny items

I love finding penny items. I’ve used this app QUITE a bit so in my experience is has paid for itself. I don’t usually pay for apps but it’s actually really fun to penny hunt. Lol. I do wish there were some more features in the app. I love that you can post hauls but I wish you could comment and it would let you know when someone has answers. To the best of my knowledge there’s no alerts for that. I think maybe they’ve made it so newer stuff shows up towards the top on the list? That’s helpful because my stores are way too darn organized. But I do believe the app is worth the price. Though don’t be surprised when DG staff recognize you as the penny finder client because they don’t always love you.

Love It - Except For 2 Things!

The app is great! The verified penny items make it way easier to find items in the store. The moderators do a great job of enforcing the rules. (Like only post Penny items not sale!) I do have 2 complaints - 1) The app glitches a lot in the store. The camera scanner will turn upside down, so I have to type in the UPC. The app also crashes a lot for me in the store. However it works almost perfectly when I’m in WiFi. 2) I wish that the “penny list” had categories to search through and a tool to prevent the same item being added multiple times. They’re is no consistency in how users title the items they add. For example someone added a tube of Crest toothpaste to the list. But, they only named it “Crest 3D White” instead of “Crest 3D White Toothpaste”. So if you are searching for “toothpaste” that great item won’t pop up. For newbies like me who browse the penny list to learn what to look for, those searches are critical.

Not usable - freeze frame constantly - disappointment

I recently purchased the app and the purchase was far easier than the viewing of any items, Hauls, updates or even what features and options are available to use are not visible because of it’s NO load! It’s not worth the purchase price. The reviews although I read them before I purchased; are true. This is NOT a user friendly app. Don’t waste your time to purchase. I have seen more loading and the same pic in a freeze frame mode than by far any real use of trying it for myself. WoW, bummer and such a loss of money! I really wanted to know what value the app adds. I will just have to imagine through all of those that found $2.99 purchase price and beyond possible. The best to all of you in your shopping and I hope this helps you avoid the mistake I made in the purchase.

2 dolla.... will make you holla...from PURE EXCITEMENT!

Oooook, so, I am not a big fan of new apps, especially when I have to spend money on them. BUT, I decided to give penny finder a shot, in hopes of it actually making up for the money spent. I am very happy to say, that the app made up for the 1.99 in less than 12 hours 👏🏻! I had never been able to find a penny item, and actually thought it was some sick joke people posted about online, mocking all the poor people who spent hours tearing through a dollar general, in search of just one single penny item (been there)! But, that is not the case. Penny items are real folks! And they are awesome! And addicting! This app is a life saver, (maybe not life, but definitely a MONEY saver!) and in my opinion, it is soooooo worth the $1.99! This app has helped me get at least one penny item every time I use it!❤️

Dont waste $2.99

I can not believe I fell for this. What a scam. I seen a post about penny shopping. Looked into it and this app was the app they said to use. As soon I downloaded it I went to all FOUR Dollar Generals in my town. NONE of them even carried the products shown on this app. Dollar General has a double clearance section. Items that were on clearance and didnt sell get an even larger mark down. Often one penny. All this app does is have ppl scan those items and post they got it for a penny. Odds are the item they got was the last one that exist. You could be in the store an hour scanning random clearance items. What a waste of time. This app is a waste of money and borderline scam. Save your $2.99 and just go follow one of those pages were people like to brag about what they bought, then go look and see if your local store has it, odds are it wont.

Highly disappointed

Yes! I never leave reviews, but I will for you. 1. This app never works that well. 2. Because of your fb community page. I was removed from, because I asked the question to someone about bragging about clearing items for 70% off, ON A PENNY PAGE. FB has a page for clearances. Yes penny shopping is a treasure hunt. But these post aren’t necessary like you found a treasure. Oh my sweet mercy, people! The store will helpyou find these sales, they normally have them sitting right in the front. So why do you need to post them on the PENNY page, when they aren’t a PENNY? And it’s a normal sale, what treasure did you find? Really people, let’s be realistic. Bragging about a store sale and getting 80 candles at 70% off on the penny finder community isn’t something to brag about. On a penny page, all I want to see is your PENNY FINDS!!!!!!!!! Not your clearance items.

Family Fun!

This app is incredible and worth its weight in gold! My kids can use it with ease! Since becoming disabled and having 3 kids we try to have fun and reward them when we can. Now our activity is penny shopping! I put the app on my phone and an extra phone we had for my kids to shop with! I even got my mom to get the app and now she goes with us! It’s fun for the whole family! We also give away a lot of the items we get so it’s also a great way to teach my kids charity! We truly love it!!! P.S. We love that it vibrates when you find a match! Makes it that much more exciting!!!

Good App!

There is a learning curve to the penny finder app, but it doesn’t take long to get the hang of it. Once you get used to it, it’s easy to use and such a cool app! I love that there is a wall to post about items, and you can comment and interact with other penny shoppers.There are only a couple things I feel need improvement. When searching for items on the app, they can sometimes be difficult to find because they’re listed under an unusual name or misspelled. Also, it may be more helpful if the size/weight/quantity of the item were listed if applicable. For example, dog treats, candy, feminine products, etc—sometimes the size/weight/quantity is not visible in the photo. I feel that this would make it easier for shoppers to know exactly what they’re looking for.Nevertheless, this is a brilliant and awesome app! Penny shopping can be challenging, but so much fun!

DO NOT BUY!!! Use the DG app to scan any item!!!

Updating my review. There is no need to buy this app anymore! Download the new DG app. At the bottom it says list, click list and it will let you scan any item and show you the price even penny items! I still have issues with this app crashing all the time! It’s not worth it nor is is needed anymore! I have had this app for a while! It used to work just fine! Now they switched to a new server (so the said) and the app never works! I was suggesting this app to everyone for a while! Bought it for my husband, my daughter and myMom! Since the update none of us can use it! It either doesn’t load or takes forever to load! Once loaded you can’t get the scanner to work! Useless app! I have tried to contact “support “ which just goes to the Facebook page that they won’t let you post on and will not answer private messages. Wish they would read the reviews, they probably don’t care!
