If this app worked, it would be an invaluable tool for shopping at IKEA. Being able to scan items to keep track of what youre buying, especially what you need to pick up at the end, would be great. The only problem is that its catalogue seems pretty empty. During my last IKEA trip, it recognized only one of the fifteen-or-so items I bought: a desk. All of the other things I bought were small items that you throw in your bag as youre shopping. Even manually inputting the names of products instead of scanning didnt work. I suppose it was convenient that the one thing I needed to pick up at the end came up in the app, but as a tool to pick out things you want in advance of your trip to IKEA, clearly this wont work.
The cynic in me thinks maybe IKEA is happy to help you keep track of the big things you want but havent picked up yet, but that maybe they would rather not help you keep track of how the little things youve thrown into your bag have added up. All fourteen of those little things I bought added up to be a lot more than I expected.
