      saw the staff at uniqlo use something similar to this app to verify the price of an item using the camera on their ipod touch.

      I'm guessing this would be useful if you have a shop with inventory that's stored on your own database connected to your PC and rather than investing in those laser barcode scanners, you can just use your phone to scan the item at POS or for price checks

    For people with large collections of things that have barcodes (books, blurays, cds, etc) who want to list their stuff.

    It's used by foolish people to scan information from QR and barcodes so that their computer can be infected by malicious software or so they can view ads. Nothing anybody in their right mind would want.

      I think you are mistaken or trolling

  Depends on how the barcode is sent to your computer. If it goes directly via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi then it shouldn't be a problem. If it goes via a server hosted by the developer then there's no telling whether your data gets saved somewhere else.

  As for usefulness, barcodes are not just for retail. As mentioned above they're great for tracking anything quickly and easily. Anyone who does asset management (computers, furniture, etc) for an organisation will appreciate this. Filing large numbers of physical documents is another common use. Basically, it saves you having to manually enter tracking data.

    Unfortunately, looks like it goes through their servers.

    • Requires internet connection on both your phone and desktop computer.
      Any internet connection will do (Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE or GPRS).
      No Bonjour needed, no local LAN connection needed.

  I used to use this app as I had a subscription to their Comic Collection service, was essentially scan the barcode, confirm it's the correct book, add it to your collection. You've got a digital catalogue to keep track of things with covers, artists, searchable data etc.

  Problem is, if you let your subscription lapse for a certain amount of time (either 6 months or a year, I forget) then they delete your records requiring you to start again.

  The app is also pretty clunky and frequently drops numbers from the code.
