Weight Watchers Unveils New Barcode Scanner App
23.05.12
Of WeightWatchers.com and Chief Technology Officer. "The barcode scanner application will help them better navigate the supermarket aisles to make smarter food choices while facilitating additional food tracking- a technique that is key to weight loss success. Our main objective with all of our mobile applications is to provide our subscribers with ubiquitous access to all the tools necessary to reach their goals."
While separate from the Weight Watchers mobile tracking app, scanned foods available on the barcode scanner app can be added to a user's favorites' or to their daily tracker. Additionally, the new barcode scanner app can compare multiple scanned products—a feature that can be useful when it comes to planning meals and shopping lists.
The new Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner app does require a supported smartphone with an internet connection. However, even offline, the app will still allow users to compare previously scanned items, access their personal shopping history and utilize the PointsPlus calculator. With the launch of the Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner app, subscribers have even more access to the tools they need to stay on plan.
