A great app
This app if you know and have patients how to learn how to focus your camera and look for the barcode is very good. It can be difficult to use but not because of the app, more because of my not knowing where the barcode is. I appreciate the beeping to let me know that I am close to the barcode.
Poor return on investment
Way too expensive for what it does. You can't see the barcode you just scanned. You can't export easily. Not recommended as is.
App is basic
Once the barcode is found, the app will give you the name of the item. It does not search any product databases to give detailed information. I am not sure why it claims to be the best. I have already found three average products it does not recognize. Also, if you are looking for cooking instructions this app will not suffice.

Best of the barcode scanners
While their are several barcode scanners available, this one is the simplest to use without sighted assistence. Right away it recognizes a lot of the things in the average kitchen. Figuring out where exactly the barcode is on items to scan them in the first place is the hardest part but does get easier with practice/experience. The more advanced functions of the app are optional, but it only gets more and more useful the more you dive in. Definetly read the website's tips to get all the use out of it.

Okay, not that bad…
It helps to turn objects on their side, and scanned from above. It still takes some time for some objects that are larger, but it does work. Certain things are found relatively easily, and it Recognized most of the things that I threw at it. Somethings have directions for use, other things do not. I would say that overall then, this is a quick, or relatively so, way to at least figure out what you're holding.

The instructions on the website really helped me learn how to use this app to its full potential
I've had this app for about 2years now, and it's still useful. Hands down this app has helped me so much and is a great tool for finding products in my kitchen.
Horrible app - hard time recognizing barcodes
Bought this app for my visually impaired mom. When it works, it works great. But most of the time even with a perfect image of bar code, the app can't see it. Seems to like boxes better than cans. Only worked about 10% of the time. Please note I am not complaining about local brand bar codes needing to be added. If that is all it was this would be a great app. But it just doesn't "see" the barcode to begin with. App should been free or at least no more than $3.

Waste of $19
This app works with the built-in device voice over. There are many free QR code scanners and creators that will do the same thing. Very disappointing I paid for this. I thought it had something more for the price. Run - don't walk - from this app.
Great app, even better support.
I've been using Digit-Eyes since it first came out. While it takes a little bit of learning to get good at scanning, once you get the hang of it, it's amazing how useful this app can be. I use it primarily to identify cans in my pantry. It's faster than putting labels on incoming stuff. You get to know where the bar code is, how to old the can, and can have successful scans in a second or three. The new extended information is great too. For many things I scan, I can get ingredients and cooking instructions. The developers are fast, friendly, and really want to help you get the most out of the app.

Very useful as barcode scanner
Once I got the technique for how to place and hold the phone, I got wonderful results with this application. Definitely worth the $. It was frustrating to use at first, but it was my scanning technique that was causing my frustration, and not the application. It works well.
