Scan It, Like It, Share It When you scan something, you are pretty likely interested in learning more about that item.  Hopefully the information you get after the scan is giving you something of interest whether it be a video demo, an exclusive deal, or a contest entry.  Now, if you like what you are seeing, you can just click the heart icon to show your love and you can see if other people in the ScanLife community have liked that item.  If you have connected the app to Facebook, you can even share your likes with your network – a great way to get your gift wishlist in front of friends and family.

Sync your Favorites to Facebook Have you ever wanted to scan something and remember it for later when you’re back to a PC?  Well, one of the best reasons to connect ScanLife to your Facebook account is so you can automatically sync all of your favorite scans (likes).  This is especially awesome when you’re out doing your holiday shopping since all of your liked scans will be waiting for you on your Facebook page.  Of course you can also see all of your scans from History in the app. Here is what your like activity will look like from your Facebook page (just click the Activity Log button on your page):

ScanLife 4.5 for Android has a whole new look which we hope you will like.  The biggest addition is what we call The Hub.  The Hub is the first thing you see when you open the app, and it gives you easy access to everything in ScanLife – your history of scans, live scan activity from around the world, the ability to customize your scanner screen from Settings, and of course the scanner itself from a super cool animated iris.  Need quicker access to the scanner?  Just go to settings and change your app so it’s scanning in no-time!

But that’s not all!  We also added a new feature called QRcard where you can make your very own QR Code that links to your contact information.  Just enter your details and the code is generated.  Now you save or display it in the app so people can save your details in seconds – like a digital business card but better and with no paper!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we are giving away a Samsung Tab 2 10.1 leading up to the big launch.  All you have to do is click on the Tweet button right here to share this great news with all your friends.
