Or does the app CardStar suck? I can't get it to work with any of my store cards. It shows the company logo and the bar code, but no reader can pick up the bar code from my phone. I had it on my Tour and now on my Bold. At least at BJ's, they type in the code but I'd rather the app work.
It's not just you. It never worked for me either, and after about 1 week of trying I deleted it. The guy at Borders told me he had seen the app on a few iphones too and that it also did not work for them.
I had used this program when it first came out. It worked great for me at a couple of places (CVS and Foodlion). Removed because of the size of the program. I have not tried it again since they have made it smaller.
It has more to do with the type of scanner than the software/BlackBerry. Most scanners can't read off of a screen. I don't know if it the glare, or something along those lines, but the scanning lasers can't see them.
There are newer scanners that work more like a camera, and those should work. It's mainly the laser ones that (everyone has and) won't work.
I've been using this app for awhile now. I had issues with it not scanning on my 8330 but it seems to scan just fine on the 9800 and the 9670. You have to have them scan it with a handheld scanner. The flatbed scanners produce too much of a glare and won't scan. It also has been updated just recently to show any deals that are going on at a specific store.
