Buycott - Barcode Scanner & QR Bar Code Scanner for iPhone 3.1.4

Buycott is a powerful home software that allows you to vote with your wallet by supporting causes you care about. As seen on CNN, NBC, FOX, ABC, and more, Buycott is a must-have app for anyone who wants to make informed purchase decisions and support ethical companies.

How it Works

Buycott works by allowing you to join campaigns created by some of the world's best non-profit organizations. These campaigns are designed to promote causes such as human rights, environmental protection, animal welfare, and more. Once you join a campaign that aligns with your values, Buycott will provide you with information about the products that support or oppose the cause.

To learn more about a product's history and its impact on the cause you care about, simply scan its barcode using Buycott's barcode scanner or QR code scanner. The app will then display information about the company behind the product and its track record in relation to your chosen cause.

Based on this information, you can make an informed purchase decision and communicate your decision directly to the company through Buycott. This way, companies can see how their actions are being perceived by consumers like yourself.

The concept of Buycott is to connect users with causes that will verify if certain products do or do not adhere to the standards laid out by that cause. While there is currently only one cause in the database, the core concept of the app could prove to be very useful for many people.

Buycott has a lot of good ideas, but also has some issues hindering and slowing its use. To start, the sign-up process is long, buggy, and sometimes doesn't work. From incomplete Facebook integration to a slow registration server, it took us two to three minutes to complete registration. From there, we found multiple slowdowns in the app, as well. Scanning products takes time and finding causes takes time--it's all quite slow considering the age of the app. The features are useful, though with only one cause and a limited compilation of information that doesn't offer much beyond what you'd find with a quick search on Google, it remains to be seen what additional tools Buycott can offer its users.

While your options right now are limited and there were some serious performance issues, Buycott has a lot of promise and could help those who are eager to pay closer attention to what they buy.
