Hello Anne, Annie, Traci and Others, In general, camera apps and scanner apps use a button just above the Home button at the bottom of the screen. As Anne described, this button on the RedLaser app is labeled "Bolt". Anne, the U.S.-centric only product databases of the RedLaser app date primarily from when eBay bought the RedLaser barcode scanning app from the original developers, Occipital. Up until that time, you had more options to search with barcode scan results, including using your local Google or other search engine. For a while, two versions of the app were kept available: RedLaser and RedLaser Classic. The RedLaser Classic version was a continuation of the original app as Occipital implemented it. I have this version, and stopped updating it, so I can still use the orginal app version separately. However, as of January 2013, the last update for RedLaser Classic puts up constant "nag" messages to "update" to the RedLaser app that eBay owns. If you read the app reviews, anyone who updated to that version lost all the general barcode scanning capability that was not tied to the eBay databases. There's no alternative current RedLaser version that is useful for people outside the U.S. and Canada, but if you happen to have one of the old versions of the RedLaser Classic app you can use that. Or you can try Annie's suggestion of Best Barcode Scanner - Scan QR Code by SimpleAct, Inc., which does seem to be very fast.
