Consmr is another barcode scanner app that just released on the App Store that's targeted at groceries and pharmacy products. There are lots of barcode apps out there: ShopSavvy is one of the more popular, and we've covered RedLaser before, and all of these work pretty much the same: Aim your iPhone's camera at a barcode, and immediately get pricing, reviews, comparisons or even coupons all designed for whatever you've scanned. If you've already found an app like this that you like, I don't know if Consmr has enough in it to pull you away. There are lots of other apps specifically for grocery shopping that offer plenty of solid features. But Consmr is free and easy to use, and it will deliver all of the information you need about whatever products you put under the scanner. It can be very helpful, for example, to get some tips about competitive products

Earlier this week Nielsen released a study that found just about a third of smartphone users turn to their device for shopping-related activities. The study, conducted during the third quarter of 2011, gives a good picture of how we’re using smartphones in stores. One thing the study highlights is that while not everyone is using their phone in this way, many more would like to. Below I’ve combined Nielsen’s results with a primer on how you can get in on the trend of being a savvy shopper with your iPhone specifically using apps that are available in Apple’s Apple Store. Nielsen found that 38 percent of survey respondents use their smartphone for comparison shopping while in a physical store. This is encouraged by online retailers, and last holiday season Amazon gave a 5 percent discount on certain products to users who scanned retail items using the Amazon app. Big box stores like Target are

Need a few iPhone apps to help you out this Black Friday? In ancient times, our ancestors asked our children, friends, and family to write a holiday gift list or circle preferences in a catalog. Then, our ancestors had to elbow through throngs of people on Black Friday to find and purchase gifts. Well, the latter is still true, but now, we can use apps to help us navigate malls, check prices, and order from our favorite bricks & mortar stores. We previewed several apps for a smooth, successful Black Friday. Price: Free Do not go to the mall without the Fastmall app on your iPhone on Black Friday—or any day for that matter. The depth and breadth of content combined with smart, simple functionality makes this a must-have app. Using your location, all malls within 150 miles are listed. You choose your mall, and everything you need to know is

With Black Friday just around the corner, your iPhone might be your greatest weapon for getting the best deals around. Just download these apps, be sure you have a good case for your phone, and remember not to literally crash through doors, regardless of what retailer marketing says they’d like you to do. (Free) If you want the virtual experience of looking through those fun newspaper inserts with lots of pictures and happy models wearing ugly sweaters, then this app is for you. Plain and simple collection of ads that aren’t searchable, saveable or sharable. But despite limited features, as someone who enjoys marketing, I genuinely loved looking through the national ads with this app, in their full print glory. (Free) This app is put out by the very reputable and addictive Dealnews site. This app is a great tool for searching for a particular product or product category. Need an external

By Leanna Lofte, Saturday, May 7, 2011 | Every week a few of us from team TiPb will bring you our current favorite, most fun and useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they’re iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch related, they’re fair game. To see what we picked, and to tell us your pick, follow on after the break! Ramp Champ has just gone free. Here’s what I said about when I picked it back in October of 2009: Ramp Champ is co-developed by Iconfactory, so you know it’s pixel perfect. A skee-ball type casual, fun, time passer it’s perfect for the iPhone. Thanks to in-app purchase you can buy more ramps when — make that if — you get through the 4 for so that come with the app. I say if because,

Just a couple of days ago, I took a look at the Amazon Price Check app. It's a great way to compare prices against Amazon and other online retailers. Before you hit the stores this weekend, it's also a good idea to have the free app Shop Savvy tucked away on your iPhone. It contains an accurate scanner like the Amazon app, but it also includes local prices and a map to get you to your store of choice. Even better, the app puts a little blue dot next to the stores that have your items in stock. The app has been around for a while, but it has been updated to include deals, complete with info about rebates, sales and special promotions. It also includes coupon codes. The app includes reviews, and you can add your own, as well as share the low prices you have found via email, Twitter

by The holiday season is officially underway. And now, one of our favorite apps for grabbing price comparisons, Big in Japan’s ShopSavvy, has just been updated for the iPhone. The free ShopSavvy 4 for iPhone [iTunes link] is a pretty big overhaul of the app. In addition to a newly cleaned-up interface, the app now sports features for tracking and crowd sourcing deals, finding out price-matching policies at various stores and finding out what store near you has a product in stock. The creators of ShopSavvy say that ShopSavvy 4 is every bit as good as the Android version — probably better. That’s a pretty bold claim — especially when you consider that ShopSavvy was one of the original winners of Google’s Android Developer Challenge back in 2008. The first thing you’ll notice about the new app is that the interface is a lot more clean and crisp. Additionally, the app

by on 13. Oct, 2010 in Whether you use it to find the lowest price, find other buying options, or even just for fun, it is always helpful to have a barcode scanner app on your iPhone or iTouch. Getting the lowest price is a common goal of many, and to do this, a barcode scanner is the perfect solution. With an easy to use interface that also looks nice, Red Laser makes it simple to scan and search prices of products. It scans only UPC and EAN codes, which the type used on nearly all products, and provides both online and local results, and you can view the purchasing results from the sellers within the app, or you can open it in safari. Tapping the lightning bolt brings up the screen to scan, and you simply line up the barcode in between the arrows, and wait for it to scan,

Developer of ShopSavvy, Big in Japan, has acquired a similar service called Snappr, which happened to be one of the first mobile barcode scanning apps out there. Similarly, ShopSavvy was one oaf the first Android apps available at launch, although since then many developers, including Google themselves and Microsoft, have got into the game. If you haven’t checked it out, ShopSavvy allows you to scan barcodes using your phone’s camera for access to product information, reviews, wishlist creation, and price change alerts, all while maintaining a history of scanned items. BiJ recently incorporated QR codes in ShopSavvy for Android (though not iPhone just yet), opening up even more options for getting stuff like contact information and launching websites on your phone. If nothing else, the Snappr crew will be able to provide some added manpower behind ShopSavvy, and at best, they’ll be able to significantly improve ShopSavvy’s QR barcode scanning and help it

Two of the biggest trends we tracked last year were Mobile Web and Internet of Things. In a new series on ReadWriteWeb, which we're calling Mobile Web Meets Internet of Things, we'll explore how these two important trends are converging and look at some cutting edge example products. We start with barcode scanning... Internet of Things is when everyday objects become connected to the Internet, via technologies such as RFID tags, sensors and barcodes. One trend we saw expanding in 2008-09 was mobile phones being deployed as readers for barcodes. Increasingly, smartphones such as the iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices offer applications that allow you to scan a barcode on a product or object and get more information about it. Barcodes are similar to RFID tags, in that they both hold data. RFID tags are generally more functional and flexible than barcodes. Also RFID tags can be read/write, whereas barcodes cannot.

ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications. It launched in October of last year after winning one of the initial Android Developer Challenge top prizes (when it was still known as GoCart). But despite the success it has seen on Android, one question remained: When would it be available for the iPhone. Today, it finally is. Developed by the guys at Big In Japan, ShopSavvy is an app that allows you to use your device as a portable barcode scanner. You point your phone’s camera at any barcode and it will read it, do a product look up, and give you information about the product, as well as where you can find it online or at nearby stores and for how much. Obviously, something like this is a window shopper’s dream. And while you might think retailers may hate something like this, because it gives shoppers all of their

ShopSavvy is one deceptive devil, the update was massive and now requires a whole bunch of personal info. The update description said it was just some bug fixes, LIARS! This used to be a good app, now it's become a scam to get access to your Facebook and other information. Deleting this app as soon as I submit this review.

After over a year of using, go spy on someone else. I'm deleting and looking elsewhere. Why don't you charge $5 for the App instead of trying to turn this into Spyware. #disappointed
