I would like (free of course) a barcode reader app put on my iPhone. I've tried several this evening and all they do is read the bar code on the product I show it, and tell me what the product costs at several stores. That is NOT helpful. The reason I want the bar code price reader is so I can know what the price is at the store I am at in case it's not labeled.
Any suggestions for that type of scanner? I know I don't need a QR code scanner because the iPhone does that automatically now. I am only interested in reading bar codes for specific store items. Maybe that's not possible?

OK, now that's I've researched it a bit, one has to have the app for that particular store in order to scan their barcodes. I guess that makes sense.

It is not the APP for that particular store, but whatever app it is has be logged onto that particular store's computer system and have access to their inventory database. I seem to recall some chain tried that out some years ago, but quickly abandoned the idea for technical and security reasons.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

I have since downloaded a couple of specific store apps that contain barcode readers. I will try them when I go to the store next. I am pretty sure they will work like I want them to.
