We have a fair amount of information from the Irish market -- Dónal Fitzpatrick recently did some testing for us there and he notes that we do very well with coverage of Tesco, but there are some other stores with proprietary brands where we need to improve our coverage. He gave me a list and we are working on them.
If you are curious about coverage in any region, you can quickly test the codes by collecting a sample of them (using any of the free scanners) and then going to our website http://digit-eyes.com and putting the numbers into the search box. We will display the same information that you would get in the app N On Wednesday, January 30, 2013 5:56:01 AM UTC-6, Sandratomkins wrote: > > Hallo, > > I have 2 questions re barcode readers and ythe iphone. > > 1.
