Amazon Flow Gives Users the Ability to Scan Anything, Anywhere
Michael Baxter — February 7, 2014 — Tech
Amazon Flow is indulging the impulse shopper in all of us with this new app. The app will allow users to scan any item, anywhere, find prices and even shop instantly. For those with strong shopping impulses, this will be an invaluable tool.
For those who can't keep a mental list of prices and items to buy, Amazon Flow will be a major help. The app only takes about two seconds to generate the prices for the item so it's much faster than actually having to go on the Internet to find out how much that hat in the window costs.
The app apparently isn't the greatest for grocery lists because of a difficulty it has with portion size, but if you can see past that little hiccup this can be your go-to source for online shopping.
