### 4/5 — Can’t focus on my iPhone 17 Pro.

*2026-06-30, version 9.9.2*

I can’t say for sure, but I can’t scan a single barcode because it’s not focusing at all

### 5/5 — Price scanner

*2026-05-17, version 9.8.3*

Great for shopping

### 1/5 — Scammer

*2026-05-06, version 9.8.3*

Already spent almost 10 minutes and haven’t seen the results to my scan yet it’s redirected me ask for my email address and still I’ve got nothing

### 4/5 — My review

*2026-02-19, version 9.8.3*

it’s not bad but their are some buggy things like sometimes it doesn’t show you the price but other than that, i recommend you download this app if you want to see how much something is.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-11-15, version 9.8.2*

Doesn’t work as advertised and still shows ads when I paid for the subscription! Absolute garbage of an app, highly do not recommend

### 1/5 — Does not work with Walmart Canada

*2025-09-08, version 9.8.1*

Never worked

### 1/5 — Wildly inaccurate

*2025-03-31, version 9.8*

Price scan is all that was required to demonstrate that this app is complete junk. On its very first use I scanned a product which is available from many retailers for about $25. This app provided only two "best price" options one being Walmart and the other eBay, each for the same product at $39.99.  That's about 159% of the regular price on the product. The people behind this app need to go back to the drawing board, or should be in a different line of work.

### 5/5 — Love Love💓😁

*2025-03-19, version 9.8*

Fast accurate and reliable

### 1/5 — Bc

*2025-03-12, version 9.8*

Tree house 
Zaxb………………

### 1/5 — Not useful after latest update

*2024-12-12, version 9.4.1*

I’ve used this app for years, but today it updated and now when I scan a barcode, it just says it can do a Google search. Doesn’t actually just quickly show the price and places where product is available.
