I am just wondering if it’s still active or not. ### 4/5 β€” Need update *2020-11-22, version 7.4* Scanner not working at all used to work perfect please fix the problem ### 2/5 β€” Waste of time *2016-12-12, version 6.3.3* Half the time this app can't find the item. The other half comes up with 1 product and no comparisons. Scanner seems like it works but not very effective or helpful. ### 4/5 β€” Barcode reader: *2016-09-17, version 6.3.3* Helpful App, shame it cannot read whole barcode languages. Recommended to whoever needs it. ### 4/5 β€” Don't go shopping without it! *2016-06-08, version 6.3.3* I've been using this app a lot over the last 4-5 years, mostly while shopping for toys for my son. For me, it is able to find the product 9 times out of 10. This app will save you lot of money, and it's free! It will, with the quick scan of the bar code tell you right there in the store if you are about to do a bargain price, or if you should walk away and get that product elsewhere. ### 5/5 β€” Mr *2015-11-24, version 6.3.1* A++++++ GREAT APP ### 3/5 β€” Good for science. *2015-11-07, version 6.3.1* Very good to being able to travel to space and eat hot dogs with. I recommend for cats. 7/10. ### 3/5 β€” Can’t Download *2015-10-25, version 6.3.1* Trying to re-download this from iTunes and I get a 404 error. Never seen that before! ### 1/5 β€” Won't update - waste of time *2015-10-25, version 6.3* As so many others wrote, the update repeatedly fails. Waste of time!!! ### 1/5 β€” Updater not working *2015-10-24, version 6.3.1* No more updates? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 β€” Worked for about 5 scans *2021-11-06, version 7.4* For about 5 scans it would pull up multiple prices for different stores. Now it just pulls up ebay and no price every single time. So much promise. Unfortunately :( ### 1/5 β€” Worthless *2018-12-26, version 7.3* Did not find any of my 8 items ### 1/5 β€” Terrible *2017-07-19, version 7.0.1* Scan several items and it couldn't identify any of them. ### 1/5 β€” Terrible *2016-12-12, version 6.3.3* I got stuff for my baby shower and was trying to return some of it, half the items I scanned it couldn't even find the code anywhere and the stuff I did scan it didn't even give me places that I know carry the item, for example I know where a guest got a pacifier clip and when I scanned it they said it couldn't be found anywhere except online from Amazon. Uninstalled after 10 minutes. ### 1/5 β€” Server Error *2016-10-08, version 6.3.3* Scan did not always pickup then when it did Server Error. Typing in numbers below barcode did not work. ### 1/5 β€” Doesn't work *2016-06-26, version 6.3.3* Waste of time ### 1/5 β€” Terrible. *2016-04-25, version 6.3.3* The scanner on this app is very finicky; you can only view a webpage in their browser and cannot get the link separately; and ads cover very important parts of the browser like the very top, so navigating a menu is virtually impossible. ### 1/5 β€” πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»GARBAGEπŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ» *2016-02-13, version 6.3.3* This app does not work what so ever. It doesnt scan good. And when it does scan it does not show my product that i scanned.... Do not EVER get this app under any circumstances!!!! ### 1/5 β€” absolutely horrible *2016-01-30, version 6.3.3* The app doesn't look up the right products, ever, and it only displays the barcode number for a split second and then it goes away. Some barcodes don't have numbers and I'd like to know what the number actually is. ### 1/5 β€” Won't upload to book checkout app!! *2015-10-28, version 6.3.1* This app was awesome for managing my classroom library. As of today, it's awful!! Still scans, but doesn't let me do anything with the book title. Can't save it to my classroom library's database. Sooooo angry!!!! Pointless app!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 β€” Works great! *2020-01-25, version 7.3* This is a handy app to have. I previously left a review that it wasn’t working.
