For this review, I am going to do something very simple: scan a few items around me with different apps and see if Barcode Scanner is the best.
The first item I scanned was a bottle of FIJI water, and sadly the app could not recognize is. Other free apps were able to give me prices for FIJI water.
Next I scanned No Country for Old Men on Blue-ray. Barcode Scanner shows 7 online results from $15.60 and 0 results locally. Another free app shows 21 results from $5.94 and 1 local result.
Lastly, I scanned a Pokedex / guide for B&W. Barcode Scanner shows 13 online results from $13.84 and 0 locally. Another free app shows 14 prices from $11.35.
Sadly, it looks like this app does not show the cheapest price for any item that I’ve scanned so far. Some nice features of the app are the ability to make a “shopping list” and it also includes a full browser. There is also a surprising amount of options, including various security features. However, there is nothing that stands out enough with this app to justify the 0.99 price
