Hi Everyone,
I've been playing with this app this afternoon, and whilst I appreciate that
the bar codes can be pretty much anywhere on the package, the app does find
them if you systematically move the phone over the product at a distance of
about 6 inches. Although I have some sight, I can't see enough to find the
barcode on the phone screen, so I just work my way around until it makes the
pop to say it has found the bar code. I've tried at various distances and
six inches seems to be pretty optimum. It doesn?t matter which way up the
barcode is.

John,
Having the same problem as you. I hope it gets sorted. The RNIB shouldn't
put the info out that it is accessible for blind people when it clearly
isn't.
