    i can never get my phone to scan anything!! :cry:

    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 :-)

    Yep. It's part of the myfitnesspal droid app.

    How do I use the barcode scanner to add foods?

    First, start the add food process just like you would for any other food. Next to the search box, you'll see a blue icon that looks like a barcode. Tap on the icon to activate the barcode scanner. Place the barcode you would like to scan inside the target area on your screen. The scanner will read the code and search for a match in our database. Once the match is found, just add it to your diary.

    On rare occasions, you barcode search will return the wrong food from our database. If that happens, you can help us improve the database by telling us the correct match for that barcode. After you see that the wrong food has been found, scroll down on the screen and you'll see a button labeled "Find Better Match". Tap on that button and you can search for the correct food in our database. Once you've found the correct match, add that food to your diary. You've now changed the barcode association in our database. The next time you scan the same barcode the correct food should be found.
