Today we’re making it possible for ALL of our users to quickly and easily scan in food to the Diary with our new barcode scanner! The new version is available to download for free on App Store and Google Play.
Please note! At the moment there are only a few barcodes that are accessible because everything is so brand new. If you scan and don’t get a hit, search for the product exactly as you normally would and add it in your Diary. The more you scan, the more barcodes are tied to the right product.
The Barcode Hunt! (The contest has now ended)
The contest has now ended, here are the winners: http://blog.shapeupclub.com/2012/09/winners-of-the-barcode-hunt-contest/
The contest popup in the app will be removed in the next update coming out in middle of September.
In conjunction with the launch of this new version and the collecting of barcodes, we’re starting up the contest: The Barcode Hunt. The member who scans the most products wins an iPad and a lifetime gold membership at ShapeUp Club!
The contest runs until August 31 and three winners will be selected! Here is the winners’ podium:

3rd prize:

Additional News
Besides the barcode scanner, this update includes two new features
- The ability to share with your friends on Facebook what you have eaten (optional!)
- Add food in your Diary more quickly. Instead of jumping back to the first page in the journal, there is now a pop up where you can see the total amount of calories you have consumed and even choose if you want to continue adding food or return to the Diary page. Smooth is the word!
We at ShapeUp Club hope that you will benefit from these fantastic new possibilities!
Many glad, sunny and summery greetings,
Tove, Martin and the ShapeUp Club team!

why did you remove the grassy hill background that was present everywhere in the app ? I used to like it
me too
I would love the option to change the food data on my own in the database. Because I don’t think you have the time to change everyhing alone. The same food exists very often several times in the database.
I agree 100%, give us at least the option to save a modified version. Because some items (I know a lot of specific cases) have outdated information, missing data, or simply all out wrong. You should really (now that you have a huge database) think about how to manage it and keep it authentic and clean.
I agree. There is a huge amount of foods/drinks in the database which clearly has wrong information connected to it.
It’s quite annoying that I can’t delete it or even better “report” it in a single click, so the shapeup-crew can assess wether to remove it or not.
Vem har sagt att det är tråkigt att hålla diet???
Blir bara roligare och roligare
Kanonuppdatering!!!!
Hej Shape up är fantastisk och nu ännu vassare sedan uppdateringen.
Tack!
Vi använder appen flitigt i vår viktnedgångstävling.
I love this
To input MORE barcodes, I have to EAT MORE! (just joking..
I am happy if I can input barcodes from “my things” too.
When a scanned barcode shows the wrong item, what to do?
I scanned a can of SUGAR FREE PowerKing energy drink (10 kcal) and it comes up as a regular PowerKing (110 kcal).
You can change incorrect barcodes by tapping on the “i” (information) button when you have scanned the food. Scroll down to the bottom of the page that appear and tap on the red button “change barcode”, and search for the correct entry. I hope this helps! Thank you for helping us collect and correct the barcodes =)

Hej
Thank you for the Barcodescan function it’s awesome. We would like the background to be the grassy hill again it’s much more pleasing than this awful monotone blue.
Thanks for your great work! Keep up the good job all of you gals and guys are doing!
You are making the world a better place…
Kind regards
Daniel Ammann
Thank you, that’s very kind of you! We are really happy you like the barcode scanner update! The green and grassy hills probably won’t appear again, but the “hideous” blue might be adjusted in the future =)
Best Regards
Tove Westlund
Ups,
I made a mistake and gave the barcode the wrong product.
How can I change this?
But apart from that, great feature !

What are my options when I scan an barcode and there’s no corresponding item in the database?
If you scan a barcode and get no match, tap on the search button in the popup that appears. Search for the right food to this barcode and select it from the search-result. If you can’t find a good match in the search-result you need to create a new food, and you can do this from “My things” – “Create new food”.

As others have said, if you make it really easy to report errors, mulitplie copies of the same item, the database will be much more correct!
And it would be nice if the current leader of the competition is published…
Thank you very much for your ideas! We like them alot =)
More information regarding the barcode competition on Friday!
Hey
I just love this. But how do I correct the barcode if there is a error in the calorie info??
For eksampel i scanned Fanta Orange and i got this result: 100 ml is 30 Calories but the nutritional content on my bottel is telling me that 100 ml is 43 calories – then im missing 13 calories on the app..
It would be nice if i could choose witch barcode i would use, so i can get the rigth calories count or/and could error reporting the wrong nutritional content

Leider ist die Scanner Funktion nicht, wie hier beschrieben, für ALLE Anwender möglich. Bei mir erscheint der Hinweis, dass meine Kamera eine Autofokus Funktion benötigt, die ich leider nicht habe
Cool würde ich in dem Zuge finden, wenn man statt des Scannens auch die Nummer des Barcodes eingeben könnte (als kleine Anregung 
)
Gillar appen! Det vore bra med färre alternativ, tex olivolja, och att kunna välja produkten i både vikt Och volym på alla eftersom det är knepigt att väga alla ingredienser/produkter. Mvh.
Hittar inte streckkodsläsaren på “app-store”…
/Ann-L
jag har försökt lägga till en ny sträck kåd men den hittar inte produkten i leverantörens sortiment vad gör jag då?
Hej!
Är inte helt säker på att jag förstår. Får du inte upp ett resultat när du skannar med streckkodsläsaren?
//Tove, ShapeUp Club
nä kag får inte upp resultatet. så gick vidare till att söka i lägga in prudukten. hittar märket o många andra prudukter dom har men inte just den jag vill lägga till:0/
Hej! Streckkoden ligger direkt i ShapeUp Club appen. Här är mer info om hur du hittar streckkodsläsaren, samt hur du använder den; http://blog.shapeupclub.com/2012/08/how-to-user-the-barcode-scanner-tutorial/
//Tove
men om den ändå inte hittar det?
vore super med ett tillägg i appen så man inte behöver gå in på en måltid för att scanna en kåd. så den blir lättare att använda när man e i handlar:0)
hello, can we have news about the position of each user on this contest? a list of current positions?
Hi!
The contest will end on August 31, then we will reveal all the winners! Good luck!
Best regards

Kan man få veta hur många matchningar ledarna för tävlingen har?
Hej!
Tävlingen avslutas 31 augusti, då kommer vi avslöja vinnarna! Spännande!

Hej,
Några synpunkter,
Ofta när jag använder scannern så scannar den för snabbt och tror att den har läst av barcoden, fast den egentligen inte har det, utan bara reagerat för snabbt och läst in något annat istället. Detta resulterar i att man får upp dialogen (barcode contest) om att produkten inte finns, och därifrån kan jag sedan välja att söka efter produkten (alltså registrera den mot min barcode) alt. läsa “mer information” om tävlingen. Det skulle *verkligen* vara jättesmidigt om ni hade en “försök en gång till knapp” i den dialogen som då tar mig tillbaka till kameraläget för att försöka läsa av barcoden igen.
Jag vet inte, det kanske bara är jag som har det problemet, men 7-8ggr/10 så tror scannern att den hittat en barcode, fast jag inte ens har hunnit visa barcoden för kameran.
En annan sak jag skulle vilja ha är möjligheten att ändra språk i appen, dvs. inte samma språk som min telefon.
Jag har min telefon på engelska, men skulle önska att jag kunde ha eran app på svenska.
Tack på förhand,
/Patrik
Hej Patrik!
Det låter inte så bra med att den läser av fel, kan du skicka en fel-rapport eller ett mail till support@shapeupclub.com så lovar jag att vi ska undersöka detta.
