Any plans on creating a database option for your app. I need something more then live search
Hi Rick,
Thanks for your comment.
We’re working on a batch scan mode. It will enable users to scan items without the need of Internet connection. More about it here https://SellerEngine.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200808960-Batch-Scan-Mode-for-iPhone
Is this what you’re looking for?

Hi Maria
We need a downloadable database like they use in FBAscan so you can go into shops with no internet connection and still get results straight away batch scan is no good if you want to make a on the spot decision wether to purchase or not I am in the UK and if FBAscan would have had a UK downloadable database I would have gone with them so I think you could be loosing a lot of customers by not having that option.
Thanks Trevor
