These apps are all FREE in the Google Play store, but even if they werent, theyd probably pay for themselves very quickly.
RoboShopper (Top Pick) | RoboShopper is unique because it lets you scan barcodes and then find prices and reviews using multple shopping search engines -- including the top services like Pricegrabber, MySimon, The Find and many more. Thats important because all the shopping services make money by charging merchants, and that means they have a different mix of stores. To find the best deals you really have to use more than one service, and RoboShopper makes it super easy! RoboShoper also has great shopping list features. You can create as many custom lists as you want and then share the lists by email or other Apps. When you share or email a list it includes links to RoboShoppers website so you can continue shopping on your computer. Its a great way to use your smart phone to collect information and scan barcodes, but then use your computer for finishing the process and actually making purchases. Free in Google Play. |
Amazon Mobile | Amazon mobile is a great tool for scanning barcodes and then checking Amazon.com. It gives prices and reviews from Amazon and its affiliated merchants, but not from other online shopping engines. Free on Google Play. |
Shopper by | Googles Shopper gives you fast access to Google Product search and also lets you scan barcodes. One really cool feature is that you can take a picture of the cover of a book or CD and get results based on that. Google shopper also shows special offers from merchants. However, the search results are limited to just Google product search, and Google is now charging merchants to be included, so again its best to use more than one service. Free on Google Play. |
Barcode Scanner by Zxing | This is far and away to the most popular barcode scanner App for Android. It lets scan all kinds of barcodes (UPC, QR, etc.) and also has basic price look up. Over 50 miillion people have downloaded this App, so you can be sure it works. For more features, RoboShopper (above) works in conjunction with this App to give great results. Free on Google Play. |
Walmart | Walmarts App lets you search Walmart.com and also gives you information on local ads specific to each store and rollback prices. A good App for checking Walmart, but does not scan barcodes or check other stores. Free on Google Play. |
Craigslist Mobile | If youre looking for a second hand item, Craigslist Mobile is a great way to find things on the Craigslist site. You can also use it to post your own ads. Free on Google Play. |
