Scanner app

Be heard there is an app where you can scan a. Barcode and it tells u the pp in the item. Is this true and if so what is this app called?

The 'ultimate weightwatchers diary' claims to do it, but I think it's a bit like MFP and alot of the data is user imputted!

if you don't have the time to check the info you can always use the 1pp = 40cal rule. It's not always 100% accurate, but it is 99% of the time.

Just tried it out on my o/h's chicken lattice but it didn't find it! Then remembered the value app had a scanner on it, 9pp!

Ive just downloaded the app, and so far it's all scanned correctly beside one item. Althoug I find it bizarre that it scans one tilda rice correctly and another on wrong.

Is the database mostly user-entered? If so, that would probably account for it.
