[...] The New ShopSavvy: Faster, Bigger, Stronger – ShopSavvy is the useful app that allows you to use an Android phone’s camera to scan barcodes and get pricing information. More importantly, it allows you to compare prices of that item to prices on the web, where you’ll many times find a better deal. This new update which the team calls “Rodan” offers 1,000 new retailers and 750,000 new products, is better optimized for battery life and is much faster, I’m told. [...]

Thanks Aaron. I’m familiar with the phrase. (But this is not the reason for their name.)

Thanks Alexander. I looked around your site for the answer but couldn’t find it. I was expecting to find the answer on the “Company” page. As it’s the most common question you’re asked when interviewed, perhaps it should be.

Rather, the answer is on your blog (not an “FAQ”).

Anyway, now with the iPhone and an Android phone in Japan, I guess you’ve got a chance to actually get Big in Japan.

Best Buy price matches with ShopSavvy according our experience and the experience of many of our users. We have a deal with Coupons Inc. to offer coupons – taking longer to implement that we had hoped due to redemption issues at the retailers. Hopefully it will be live before the Christmas season.

Apps are one of the biggest power sucks on smartphones. If you don’t build your app right you can screw over a user’s battery performance. We spent a lot of time making sure we impact battery life the least.

the big box stores can’t like this at all. Anyone successfully show the screen to a bestbuy rep while asking for a price match?

if someone can put this app together with coupon codes to suggest the lowest price it’ll be the greatest commerce app ever.

Only for Android-powered mobile phones?

Yup, the app is going to be very useful and handy for shoppers to easily check prices of the things they are about to buy. The app is going to convert phone users into shoppers. Shop, shop, and shop.

I’ve had Shopsavvy for some time. I figured it would die on me, but months later, I still don’t buy any durable good over $10 without checking it.
