UCT Student Builds Food Price App
Story 1
A 20-year-old University of Cape Town student has built an app to help South Africans compare food prices and find cheaper meals.
Dylan Steiner created Bites – Price Compare after discovering that similar meals at nearby restaurants could have very different prices.
He taught himself to code, and the app received about 300 downloads on its first day, while videos about it reached almost 100-thousand views in two days.
The app is currently available in Cape Town, with plans to expand to other parts of South Africa.
