Save using Amazon's Price Check

When I go shopping I do price comparisons. I want the best deal I can get in store and online. With Price Check, you can use your Android phone to check and compare prices instantly on Amazon. And to make in-store price comparison even better, Amazon's introducing a new price sharing feature that helps ensure their prices remain competitive for their customers.

Search for products using four easy methods:


• Scan a barcode: Amazon's barcode scanner will match your item and provide Amazon and merchant product pricing in seconds.

• Snap a picture: This app uses Amazon's photo matching algorithm to instantly match your picture to books, DVDs, CDs, video games, and more.


• Say the product name: Speak your search queries and use voice search to return accurate product matches and Amazon's pricing.

• Type your search: Type the product name to retrieve instant matches.

• Buy directly from the app: Buy with confidence and complete a secure purchase directly from the app.

Price Check by Amazon provides access to Amazon.com product descriptions and customer reviews to guide you in making informed purchase decisions. When you find a low price while using the app, simply log into your Amazon account to complete a secure purchase. Price Check also supports add to Wish List; sharing via Twitter, Facebook, text message or e-mail link; immediate purchasing using 1-Click ordering; and Amazon Prime.
