Cyclops App Reviews

Seriously

It would be so bad if it didnt work. Instead, it scans some of the time, and retrieves false info when it does scan. (like, childrens book when youre holding an r rated movie)

It works but only when connected to wifi

Scans fine in portrait but occasionaly pulls wrong data and frequently crashes if scanned list becomes too long. Finally reaches the point when the app will no longer open.

Tried different barcodes and it would not read any of them.

So far, everything Ive scanned has been accuratly translated from the barcode to what seems to be the correct number. Too bad it doesnt look up these numbers on the Internet. Pretty useless this way :(

Yu will get as twice as pepole

Ive tried to use it many times, but it just wont work for me. Its frustrating and disappointing. Over the last five months of having this app, its only scanned a Johnson & Johnson baby wash. Thats it! Im way too patient at times. Someone suggested using it on WiFi, only if its avail, if not, Im trashing this app.

Tried many different applications for 2 days! None was read!!!

Had it for a month and has never worked!! I have actually tried popular items too, like lost season 3 and modern warfare 2. Wont even read numbers or save a pic for later use. Basically a rip off.

In normal lighting conditions, if youre able to hold your hand steady enough to get a clear picture, this piece of software works exellently at identifying the product from the barcode. Sweet app.

This is a terrible app. It is possible that a photo of a bar code taken in a light box with the iPhone on a tripod might scan correctly, but I am not going to devote the time to discover that. Otherwise, it does not do what it purports to do.

Accurate barcode reading and neat layout. You have to try it and compare it to others to see for yourself the difference. Personally I compared it to Redlaser and it clearly more accurate.

Good app, but the icon is terrible. Putting a border on it would make it much more attactive on the iPhone. I actually deleted it because it looked non-elegant on my screen.

I bought the app ($1) It did not work on my Verizon iPhone. I told Deep Prose in two emails. He/she finally admitted that it wouldnt work with Verizon iPhone, BUT that is NOT what the 1.4.3v comment says. HENCE the update. Does it NOW work with the 4.2.6 Verizon iPhone ? ? Now they want me to SPEND ANOTHER DOLLAR to get the "updated" version. Crap ! ! ! RedLaser is better anyway. ./

But does little else waste of time and energy

I downloaded this app to scan barcodes from books and check prices on Amazon. The app will scan the barcode, but it does not pull up a book title, pricing guide, or any other information from Amazon. I am left with a useless list of numbers. I tried to email Cyclops customer support, but the email address is invalid. Do NOT waste your money on this app! (One star rating because the review would not accept zero stars.)

Takes forever to finally read a bar code. When it does it doesnt return any information. Supposedly I was going to be able to click through to see the item on Amazon. I need this feature. I need to be able to get the pure url for the page on Amazon. Id pay $100 for an app that does what yours claims it can do. Fix your app and youre sitting on a goldmine of a niche market.
