    Would be a good app ok. Haven't really come across one though.

    There's a few barcode scanners that will display product info like Google Goggles but I think the OP wants something that will tell them the price of said product in Tesco vs Dunnes vs SuperValu.

    Doubt it exists tbh as it would need a huge database to keep all products & updating prices daily would be a nightmare.

    Thank you all for the answers

    i just want to be able to see what the price of the item is when i take it off the shelf in the shop to see if the item is prices right and I thought I would be able to get an app for my phone so I could use it like a scanner like they have in some of the shops to check prices as my local shop does not have one
