You have probably heard of the paid iPhone app, RedLaser, that has been in the top 10 paid apps list for a while.
But, there is an app that could be called the original barcode scanner for mobile phones that was very popular with Android – ShopSavvy.
ShopSavvy lets you point the red laser like line on a barcode. It uses the iPhone’s camera to scan the bar code and look up the product online. It shows a picture of the product and shows their online prices.
Plus, it uses your location via GPS to show the local stores that carry the product with their prices.
Now, you have a powerful product scanner while you are out shopping to instantly see if you are paying the right price. A deal hunter’s dream weapon.
ShopSavvy lets you save products you look up so you can refer to them later. It also has another cool feature – setup Price Alert.
I tried scanning a book I had near me and it instantly popped up in ShopSavvy as you can see in the screenshots.
Did I mention ShopSavvy is Free? RedLaser costs $1.99 and is No.3 in the top paid apps today.
With the Black Friday deals just a week away, we are bring more apps that can help you find great deals this Christmas shopping season. If you have a good app recommendation, sound off in the comments.
Please, keep up the good work and continue to post topics like this. I am really fan of your blog!
