Barcode Hero iPhone App Review

Description:

Barcode scanner apps are certainly cool as they allow you a cool way to compare prices and find out exactly what you are looking for. This is extremely helpful in this down economy when all we want to do is save money and make it easier on ourselves to make the bills get paid.  Well there is a free app that takes a barcode scanner app to a whole new level.  The app is brand new and it is called Barcode Hero.  Of course this app will scan barcodes and give you information as to how much things cost and where you can find the best deal on an item.  The app goes one step further and allows you to post the barcodes that you have scanned on a social networking site.  Social network sites like Facebook and Twitter are integrated into this app so that you can compare your shopping lists with your friends and help each other find the best deals.

The developers are also dedicated to not allowing facebook spam to be sent to your profile or pages.  This is especially nice because a lot of free apps kind of do this type of thing where you get a whole bunch of crap when you sign up or download it.  You can rest easy with this one as it is safe for your social networking sites.

Features:

• built in scanner from Redlaser works great on all iPhones
• compare prices with top retailers like Amazon, Ebay, and Buy.com
• follow other shoppers to see their scans and recommendations to help each other find the best prices out there on the stuff you are looking for
• build a wishlist to share with friends and family
• invite your friends to see your scans and recommendations
• cool profile pages based on the items you scan
• The app is constantly being updated and new features will continue to roll out with this app once you download it.

If you like to help people save money besides yourself, this is a great app to share what you are searching for with your friends to help them find the best deal as well.  The law of numbers helps.  The more people looking for a deal, the more likely someone you know will actually find the deal you have been searching for.

Conclusion:

This app is Free and has been given a 4 out of 5 star rating.
