Cyclops App Reviews

Well that absolutely didnt work.

Almost everything that I used it on worked fine. Just dont get too close

It recognized ALL of my electronic stuff(Wii, GH, 32" LCD, etc)...but regular household items were not being recognized..

Neat tho not sure what Ill use it for other than a cheap bar trick. Worked perfectly for me 32 3GS

It works as long as you dont get too close. Just do it like in the example they give you. Simple as that!

It works part of the time. It correctly identified some books and a box of crackers but not pop tarts. Its good for a 1.0 and free app. Its better than red laser!

This app really does what it says, I got 10/10 scans. MUST HAVE A iPhone 3gs for it to work!

Cyclops recognized most of the items I scanned, even round items. Making sure that the photo has good contrast and no shadows seemed to help insure a good scan.

Works as described, would be a five star app if it would compare prices...hmm wonder if it could use a location feature, gps even

At first, like other reviewers below, I could not get this app to successfully scan any codes. Then I tried taking the picture in portrait rather than landscape, and all of a sudden barcodes that wouldnt register were now scanning just fine. I suspect for most, like me, the rectangular shape of a UPC code suggests the photo should be done with the iPhone turned sideways. Not so! This software seems to only register when you shoot the code with the phone in a vertical orientation! My suggestion to the developer: add some documentation...a short tutorial or just a simple prompt of some sort. I was just about to delete this app and leave another negative review until I stumbled upon the problem. Since then every code that Ive tried has scanned just fine!

Dont even bother using this on the 3G since the camera wont focus on anything close up enough to get a clean shot of a bar code. I guess this only works on the 3GS.

For starters, when it doesnt recognize something the scan just goes poof. No explanation, or a brief pop-up that lasts 22 nanoseconds. That behavior along makes it worthless. Think the scan needs to be rotated? Good luck with that feature. I had no luck with it. Then theres the speed, or lack thereof. Even when the app does work, and that is only in the best of conditions, it would be MUCH faster to just type in the numerals below the barcode. Much faster.

Did not expect this to work, but it does just what it says. Gave me a good WOW moment. Very cool.

Works amazingly well with portrait images not landscape (on its side). Great A+

Bought this while in a bookstore, scanned in 3 titles up close with the 3G S, all came up 100%, then read reviews online. Bought the travel book with the best ratings. Cool!

The 3G cannot focus close enough to get a bar code. They should have noted that it only works well with the 3GS.

This is so cool! It works every time. The prices are a little off but other than that. Great app. The future is here.

Way better than pic 2 shop. Dont need to put the code in a specific spot. Just shoot and view your product. Hurrah

People who say this doesnt work obviously have problems taking good photos of the barcode. Works every time for me. Awesome app.

I have about 100 apps and have never been interested in posting a review. This app pushed me over the edge. It is completely worthless!! Not only is it unattractive in its design, it is slow to respond, crashes, oh and by the way.... dosent work!
