Every kid loves roleplaying. With this app it can pretend to be a supermarket cashier and scan everything in and around the house. No barcodes are actually needed, a tap on the button scans the item and prices it automatically (randomly). After scanning is complete, you can "pay" through an ATM machine or cash. Swipe your creditcard through the slot, type your pincode (all pincodes valid) and pay for your groceries. When paying cash, you can grab change from a cashregister! And of course there's a button to play a public announcement tune. Get some time for yourself while your kid is playing! NOTE: this app prices items RANDOMLY, it's meant for kids, not adults. Some reviews: ***** It was so fun! It's so like real shopping! I think it is awesome!

It's awesome! Except it would be better if you could pick a mode, for example, a mode for random prices and a mode where the cashier picks the prices. Then it would be the best app ever!!! Also you should be able to sign a recipe and maybe even you could print it out! ### 5/5 — Best app ever!❤️ *2015-10-26* This is the best game ever and I have been looking for something like this and I would totally recommend getting this game❤️❤️ ### 4/5 — Great game but... *2015-01-14* I have always loved this game but I wish you would update it, and add more to it ### 5/5 — Ok *2014-06-15* This is a wonderful fun app but for the checkout you should ask the kids to make a pin code instead of a whole lot of different pin codes ### 5/5 — Kids scanner *2013-10-03* This is a very great app ### 2/5 — Bad camera *2013-07-30* Camera doesn't work ### 5/5 — Make this app please! *2013-07-20* Mabey you could make an app that scans real barcodes and gives the price then if the item doesnt have a barcode you could do a search for it and it would give the price for that like a real cash register and instead of pressing scan you could slide the item with the barcode across your phone like a real cash register! ### 5/5 — Great *2013-02-08* This game is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2012-11-12* It got frozen on the first screen.
