In this case I should have believed everything I heard! Everytime I enter a barcode no matter what to product is I always get the message that says product not found. This would have been great especially when I was in the store today and needed to get the price of the same product from another location. It didn't work. Instead I had to use another app and call the store. WTF? 99 cent for a worthless piece of you know what. I too would have been better off going to a dollar menu! If anyone knows of an app that I can do what this one is supposed to do, please let me know. Buyers beware!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2009-02-14* DOES EVERYTHING AS DESCRIBED, BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE ### 1/5 — So far, worst application I've loaded from the store *2009-02-14* The email address for emailing a search (outside the application) doesn't work. The technical support email address doesn't work (both rejected by their email server). About 1 out of 10 barcodes that I type in has an entry and I must have just missed the part about where this paid-for application is AD supported as well. It's a good idea, but a waste of your money at this point. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2009-02-13* Website claims you can capture barcodes with the camera, but application requires you to manually enter them. Further, the manual entry has no backspace so if you mess up entering the barcode 9 digits in - you have to start all over. I was very excited about this application. Now I am just very disappointed. ### 5/5 — worked for me *2009-02-13* went to a circuit city and tried out this app on some routers and switches and it worked perfectly. Its not a barcode scanner but it doesnt claim to be so no suprise there. ### 5/5 — Awesome app also searches bestbuy *2009-02-13* Very nice app. Not only did it give me lowest price online but also gave me lowest price of nearby retail stores like bestbuy. Also sends u to google maps for directions ### 1/5 — Not worth the price.. even if FREE! *2009-02-12* 1. This App is NOT a barcode scanner, you have to manually enter the code. 2. None of the codes i've entered are in their database. "Product Not Found" is the only message i've seen... even with common items. I have tried 30+ items so far, even popular DVD's. 3. Their website is an eStore listing of some sort. I bet the only products this APP responds to are the ones they or their partner's sell. Basically, they charge you .99 cents for an app that takes up room on your device. I'd be happier if I spent the money at any fastfood place with a dollar menu. ## Frequently asked questions about Dial ### What is Dial-A-Deal?
