Re: Red Laser app

2013-04-05 Thread Anne Robertson
Red Laser finds bar codes on cans and boxes just fine, but its database is 
sorely lacking for those of us in continental Europe. Digit-Eyes, on the other 
hand, has a very extensive database.

Cheers,

Anne

 Hi All,
 I downloaded a free app called Red Laser with my iPhone.
 This is a QR code scanner, and it reads these squiggly symbols that give you
 information, and can take you to a web site.
 I tried it on a tube of tooth paste, and it not only told me what it is, but
 it gave me pricing for my area.
 I'm not sure if it also reads barcodes, but it is a very accessible app.
