"Pic2shop is amazing. I saved $70 last week scanning items and finding them at a lower price at a different merchant. The store manager dropped the price to the competitors in front of me after I scanned products and showed him."

Original Comments: This app is most accessible.
The barcode recognition is automatic and has been fairly quick, accurate and easy to use in my testing.
However, the search results page is a little confusing. It appears to be presented in a style similar to a web apge, and it can be a little confusing to understand. There are certainly a few links and buttons on this page that I still don't know what they do.
Certain areas of the app can also become quite slow to respond when using VoiceOver.
