OMG - my friend just told me that you can use the iPhone app to scan the bar codes on your food. Maybe I'm behind the curve on this one, but that means there are others out there that might be clueless too. AMAZING!!!!!!! Just scan your food and POOF! Add it to your food diary.

    It's great I do it all the time! I was like a little kid when I found it...I'd scan things just because I could - even if they were already listed in here. :bigsmile:

    My favorite feature on the iPhone app and I can use it on my iPad too. There have only been a handful of times when the information was inaccurate.

    OMG... I have seen that thingy on my iPhone app., but did not know what it was for. I tried it right now and.... OH HOW COOL that is. And it is easy to use. Kinda!!! lol Need to practice with my foods. After all, I am sure that exercising my fingers while typing is not something I could register as exercise, Hey? New concept!! Thanks for the post. You have helped me out. Know there may be others that will find the information just as useful.

    yeah, i have problems with the scanner on my Android phone. When it works, it's great....but that's not too often :grumble: Don't know why, or what I'm doing wrong. I put the barcode in that rectangle it tells you too. I move it close, and far away and in between, that little green line comes up and most of the time doesn't scan. I don't get it.

    95% of the time it works for me, sometimes it will take something like a local brand that they must not have an give the kraft nutritional facts what are say .5gm more in fat or something but usually it works great.

    Much easier than having to manually enter everything yourself.

    The bar code scan, (I have an android phone), is definitely a plus on the app! I love it! It saves so much time and 'counting' doesn't seem as tedious :-)
