Hi. I am impressed with redlaser on an IPhone 5s, I have never scanned barcodes that fast. For me it is really an issue with redlaser, I have to copy the barcode number, and go to the phones search field, and then press safari and when I have the result.
I do not understand why redlaser is so much better than other barcode readers, this is amazing. Why can the very expensive digit-eyes not be developed and optimized, so that it is just as fast.
