Bar code scanner on phone app!

I LOVE it but you have to double check that it's finding the right item and the nutritional stuff is right. It's been wrong a couple times for me.
I will watch for that... thanks for the heads up!
This is true one time it scanned Jack Daniles as Jack Daniels BBQ sauce! (I know I shouldn't have either one!!) I also find it interesting that it will read a generic brand as a Trader Joe's or other name Brand with all the right nutritional info. Reinforces that often you are just paying for the name and the packaging, the content is the same!0 -
I have the Droid Incerdible and I love the idea of the scanner but it seldom works. Kind of irritating.0

I just used it for the first time. Most awesome thing EVER!!! Though, what came up from the barcode is not what the label says. And it's not that it's split up in servings because one pouch=one serving. So, not sure what that's all about.0

It's not on iPhone yet, but it is SUPPOSEDLY coming soon. We'll see....0

Thanks! I have it but had no idea! I'll love this.0

I love the scanner...when it works. Most of the time it either can't find what I am scanning or will come up with something totally different, e.g. I scanned breakfast sausage and MFP told me it was Brown Cow yogurt. Um, not even close!
Bottom line: look carefully at what it tells you was scanned!0 -
Thanks guys - this IS slick. I had never noticed that little bar-code symbol before. Works like a dream. (Android)0

It works wonderfully on my Samsung Fascinate (an android phone) I love it.0

yeaa!!!0 -
I had the capacity for scanning on my Atrix but had never used it. I read the post here yesterday and went home and used it for my evening meal. I saw a recipe here at MFP for pita pizza and went and bought all the ingredients and scanned them in. It worked perfectly. Love it!0

I tried using it last night on a box of wheat thins and it just wouldn't work. I'm tempted to go try it on something right now to see if it decides to work.0

I love it!! It's one of the features that prompted me to start using MFP. It's a great feature!0

Holy cow. I had no idea about that. I had to go check my phone (Android). I can't wait to try it out now.0
