It used to work on my previous phone. Not sure if it is new phone not being able to use the app or if there is trouble with the app for all. Is anyone else having problems with scanner?

I recommend ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner, because the permissions to access your personal data are more friendly (ie it can't access your contacts, etc) than many others I've seen. Try installing that and see if it fixed your problem.

issue with the app

I just re.-downloaded this app. I used it begore on my old phone and loved it. Its excellent. I'm finding my food diary screen is displaying multiple screens at the same time. Is it a bug? Liz
