Thank you for your feedback. Yes, the main idea is that price reviews a "bound" to physical locations so of course it doesn't make sense if the good are sold online. And very good catch about the "Best deals" option (although the term "best" might have a different meaning to different people). I believe that this service will be extremely helpful for people who are travelling. Imagine a situation: you come to a new country, you don't really know that's the average bill in restaurant in the city center, how much the tour guide to that castle costs, etc. This kind of information might be hard to find online (actually, this is when I come up with the idea - when I was planning a trip to Czech Republic and simply couldn't figure out how much money do I need to take with me). You just fire up "PriceFlurry" app and get the _sense_ (that's important, reviews are recommendations rather than something you can trust 99%) of how much the staff costs. Again, thanks for your comments.

For planning trips this could be interesting but that's such a tiny niche - most people aren't going to leave their country even once a year. I actually travel extensively and would only have had 3 opportunities all year to have used this, and maybe a dozen over the last 8 years. Worst of all, I don't need this anymore for any country I've already been in.

  Thank you for your input. The trip planning was one of the use cases. The thing is that it doesn't really matter what kind of price review is that since I'm not limiting the users in what they can post (obviously because I don't know what other people are looking for to buy). Maybe it's even a short term offer that will expire in a week and nobody will be able to leverage it. But that's fine because people will get an _overview_ of how much things can cost in that area (someone will make a conclusion that since there was such a good offer, maybe there are other good offers that are simply not listed on PriceFlurry).
