8 of 15I used to use this app ALL the time to comparison shop. But now all it does when I scan is show me the UPC number. No prices. No stores. Ever. Completely useless. I'm going to delete it after several years.
Trash
DO YOU SEE ALL YOUR FEED BACK EVERY ONE IS ALL SAYING THE SAME THING. WE ALL LOVED THIS APP. & NOW WE ALL R LOOKING FOR ANOTHER, AS IT IS NO ONE IS FIXING THIS APP. OR SEEMS TO CARE ENOUGH TO BOTHER WITH IT. WE ALL WANT IT FIXED. I WILL CHANGE MY FEED BACK IF THE PROBLEMS GET FIXED. WHICH I REALY HOPE SO, THIS WAS THE BEST SCANNER I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, IT BARELY FINDS INFORMATION/PRICES ON ANY SCAN EVEN WITH MOST POPULAR ITEMS, IT IS ALWAYS RUNNING SO SLOW. IF @ ALL, AS ERA MESSAGES COME UP.
This was one of the first apps I ever downloaded, back in the day, it worked well and saved me tons of money. Now it does nothing. It's completely useless. Sad that it has ended up this way.
I love this thing; however, it could be a little more user friendly.
Used to work great but now it won't log in via Facebook.
Now there's no database. Sort of renders it useless.
Used to be great but now it's useless. Not sure what happened.
