WHAT WE ASSUME YOU KNOW BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD: We assume that you know what penny items are. We assume you know what store this app is for. We assume that you know that UPC codes are very important and critical to finding the correct penny items. (you shouldn't penny shop based off only images).
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE STORES YOU VISIT WILL HAVE PENNY ITEMS.
THIS APP IS NOT A PRICE SCANNER, it's a Penny Scanner.
***The Penny Scanner's performance is based on the frame rate of your camera on your device. (Which means older devices such as an iPhone 4S and older model iPods/iPads will scan slower using the Penny Scanner than new devices that have considerably better cameras.)
