    It's only on iphone 4 for iphone users...

    but it is AWESOME! However, I;ve noticed that some are off.. so I always just double check the package or the whatever with what MFP says.

    it cuts down on my logging time and just makes it so much easier. it doesn't promote unhealthy eating! i eat my yogurt, my cheerios, my milk, my eggs... those are good foods and you can scan the barcode! i wish all fruits and veggies had barcodes as well so we could ge the most accurate readings.

    I haven't tried it. Do you think it would work on foods in foreign countries?

    iPhone4

    When you add a food to your diary, there is a button sporting a not so great bar code icon that is just to the right of the text search entry are. Push that button and the screen changes to the camera with the outline of the corners of a box in the center. Center that box around the bar code and the bar code will be captured when the camera adjusts focus.

    I am a bit of a dunce and had a heard time getting it to work at first, no instructions, but now it is easy.

  • I'm a HUGE fan of the barcode scanner! : )

    I use it every day, and it feels like science fiction every time : ) I showed my friends one day when we were chatting about healthy eating, and my iphone got passed around while everyone had a go on their lunches lol
