A D.C.-based technology firm is launching a new smartphone app today designed to save grocery shoppers a few pennies here and there before they even start yanking items down from supermarket shelves.

The app, PriceSpotting, is the first release from Blue Tiger Labs, The Washington Post reports. With the program, Blue Tiger Labs, headed by Neil Kataria, aims to help people find their nearest food vendors, then list which stores have the best prices on certain items. The app’s description also portends a future grocery shopping experience in which people will attempt to navigate the supermarket aisles while hunched over their phones as they help build PriceSpotting’s database.

As the Post describes it, the app will be heavily dependent on user experiences to flesh out its listings:

The inaugural version of PriceSpotting relies primarily on individual shoppers to scan items they intend to purchase and update the cost in the app’s database. As incentive, users will earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards.

Blue Tiger also plans to cull data from weekly circulars.

PriceSpotting is currently available on Apple’s iOS platform, though an Android version is said to be in the works.

One of the principal challenges for the new app, though, will be if it can accurately compare stores, such as Costco, that sell items in bulk with those that sell the same items in smaller quantities. But Kataria tells the Post that the app is launching with 100,000 already loaded into its database.
