What it says it does: Apples2Oranges™ is a nutritional and price comparison and conversion app. Compare, convert and calculate in one step. Apples2Oranges saves you money and helps you shop smarter! And its built-in conversion engine helps you watch what you eat and lets you shop more intelligently. 

What it actually does: Want to save money? Apples2Oranges lets you compare two prices, even when the item sizes are different, so you’ll get the breakdown of each price.  For example, let Apples2Oranges tell you what's the better buy: 78 vitamins for $5.99 or 56 for $4.99. Or 150 feet of wrapping paper for $3.99 or 18 meters for $2.99. The app also allows users to compare nutrition facts… If you've ever tried to compare the calories in a 1 cup serving to the calories in a 180 milliliter serving while standing in the grocery store, you know it's not easy. But with Apples2Oranges, it is! Compare calories, sodium, sugar and anything else on the nutrition label, no matter how different the listed serving sizes are.
