Guest Paul Posted August 1, 2010 Report Posted August 1, 2010 Welcome to 'Paul's App of the Day', where I pick one of my favourite apps as featured app of the day! Today's app is... Shopper What they sayShopper recognizes books and media by cover art, plus barcode scanning and voice search. Find local and online prices, reviews, specs, and more. Star your favorites and share with friends. Currently U.S. and U.K. only. What we say This is a cool app. When i'm buying online I always us the Google Products (aka Froogle) service to do price comparisons, and this application lets you do it 'in the field'. When you're in a store, scan a barcode or cover to get local and online prices and product details. This application is very similar to Shopsavvy, although I opted to include shopper as it includes functionality for scanning covers and most importantly has a funky green horizontal line when you're barcode scanning. :( Beware, people who see you using this in a store will think you're strange, heh... Permissions ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE / CALL_PHONE / CAMERA / FLASHLIGHT / INTERNET / VIBRATE Download View Shopper at AppBrain QRcode To use, install 'Barcode Scanner' from the Android Market.
