Unlike many other price-comparison apps we reviewed, RedLaser’s results pages are incredibly well organized. This app displays both local and online prices for the products you have scanned, and you may easily toggle between the two result screens.

 

The quality of most barcode scanning apps usually boils down to two key things: how well the scanners work and how fast results appear. In the case of this app, results are fast and the scanner is amazing, as well.

Alternatively, in case all those endorphins have you feeling more generous, you may donate all your earnings to a charity.

 

However, keep in mind that the only steps, which count toward your Sweatcoin earnings, are the ones you take outdoors. Moreover, this app does not sync with Fitbits or similar other fitness trackers. Rather, Sweatcoin relies on your smartphone’s step tracking software.

 

The app is quite simple, and fairly easy to navigate. The simplicity and intuitiveness of its interface is praiseworthy. It is easy to see exactly how many coins you have earned in one day, the number of coins you’ve saved, and who is and is not on your friends list.
