Argentinean app controls prices
10
Feb
An Argentinean app controls the prices in this country, the app is called “Precios OK” and it was developed by two 
university students Yamila Fraiman and Alejandro Torrado and it works by reading the bar code of the product, then the system analyzes based on other prices and indicates whether there is an excessive increase.
The tool is already in the list of the most downloaded in Argentina, being, for example, among Candy Crush and Instagram, and has already received complements of the President Cristina Kirchner.
The government from there alerts the people that abusive prices and rising inflation would be linked only to greedy businessmen and is “under control”, seems like a speech already known.
Prices for meat, medicine and many other foods, in Brazil, seem not to be compatible with what inflation says, not to mention the abuse of banks and providers of telephone services.
We are at the time of the beginning of school classes and it would be good to keep an eye in the value of the tuition, school materials, and bundled services such as school and urban transportation.
