Barcode Scanner - Price Finder
doubtful ratingFocused on price lookup: scan a barcode and it immediately offers to search Google or Amazon. That is a real use case for in-store shopping. Weak point: the product database is incomplete and many codes return no match. The app explicitly collects scan history, which is a real risk if you scan personal documents like a driver's license or passport.

About the rating

Who it is for
