about smart shopping scanner
Smart Shopping Scanner turns your iPhone into a powerful shopping assistant. Use your camera to scan barcodes and look up PLU codes for produce — instantly identify products and add them to your shopping lists without typing a thing. Whether you’re building a grocery list at home or checking prices in the store, the app keeps everything organized in one place.
Create and manage multiple shopping lists for different stores, occasions, or household needs. Each list tracks item quantities and prices so you can see estimated costs before you check out. Mark items as you shop, flag sale prices, and keep a running total — no more guessing at the register.
The app also includes a built-in calculator for quick price comparisons, a scan history so you can find products you’ve looked up before, and a personal product library where you can save favorites and add custom items with photos. Everything is stored on your device — no account required, no internet needed.

Frequently asked questions
How Do I Scan a Barcode?
Tap the scan button and point your camera at the barcode on any product. The app will automatically detect and read the barcode, then look up the product information. Make sure the barcode is well-lit and fully visible in the camera frame.
what are plu codes & how do i look them up?
PLU (Price Look-Up) codes are the 4- or 5-digit numbers on stickers found on fresh produce like apples, bananas, and tomatoes. In the app, you can enter a PLU code manually to look up the product name and add it to your list — handy when there’s no barcode to scan.
how do i manage multiple shopping lists?
From the main screen, tap the lists tab to see all your shopping lists. You can create new lists, rename them, and switch between them. Each list maintains its own items, quantities, prices, and checked-off status independently.
