How do I scan a barcode?
After finding the bar code on the product, you need to center the barcode in the viewfinder until you hear an audible beep.
Why Can't I scan?
Our scanner was built for the iTouch, iPhone 3GS/4/4S and iPad 2. Unfortunately older devices do not have a camera capable of processing the barcode.
How do I manually enter a barcode?
Barcodes are usually 6, 8, or 12 numbers long. Depending on what type of product it is this could vary. 4) Include the information between the 2 numbers on the side of the barcode. Press search and voila!
How do I search for products?
Type in the product name on the search bar. Be as specific as you can.
How do I search for ingredients?
