Community Insight:
It seems like a lot of the people dont understand this app, because they havent read the instructions or directions. You MUST print out the grocery items that include the bar code on them. For example, a box of chips. This app wont scan something you have at home like a cereal box. After you print out all of the grocery items that zebra shopper has provided you, each individual item will scan. Go to, littlezebrashopper.com to read the instructions. Its great for kids of all ages and works on an iPhone and iPad. We wish there was a way to send a receipt, a better register with allowed our son to delete an item, a total button that was easier to understand and the ability to add your own barcodes or print barcodes that could then be taped on items with a given price.
This app is also for our uncles brothers daughters! They like to bother us but role playing makes them stay calm.But there is a problem. The problem is that the camera cant switch into the back camera and the app cant turn like if we turn our iPad, it wont turn the way we want it to be. But this is an awesome app.
We will rate this 6 out of 5 stars if we could. It is amazing and not a math game, but very fun! This deserves better than 3.8 stars! If you are looking for a grocery game, this is the way to go! It needs a little bit of change but, it is a great game.
We recommend this app to everyone who wants to pretend to shop. Ive seen bad reviews where they complain there is no total or the opportunity to enter in the amount paid, but there is! After entering each item you touch the green button labeled with a check mark. When youre done, just touch the green button a second time, then enter the amount the customer gives you and it will give you the change due on the receipt, which you can see on the iPad. 5 stars! We love it so much we are giving an iPad to our great nieces just so they have this app! They love pretend play in their little kitchenette. Ive played pretend shopping with our 10 year old granddaughter and she loves it too.
This app is like a simulator when u play u can just go to the app and play with siblings plus so when a customer enter u can say somthing and it will tell it to the costumer and register it like a real one and also has recipts.
Kids love scanning and the realistic sounds.. Love the printable products.
It won't let us scan certain things.
This app is so good it helps so much for us to learn money or count money and sometimes it helps us with homework it…………idk.
Little Zebra Shopper is awesome.It scans real barcode and tells the price.The products are easy to make. We really love this game.
We deleted this app because we don't like how you can't turn off the camera. We won't allow our child to play a game that has a camera on her the whole time. It should allow you to scan items and put in prices too. Neat app, but potentially creepy.. Not okay with the camera.
We like this game It's good for our children but one thing we dont like is that the scaning we dont get the scaning.
This game was good for our child but we did not know how to scan a bar code we tried but did not work us and our daughter had fun playing with it all day.
We have to agree with the person who wrote this is a horrible app. This truly is. We ourselves know how to work a real register and thought this would be cute to show our little one, but there is no total button there is no way to take a snap shot, you can not type in how much money someone has given, ect… Who ever created this app, did you bother to check it out prior to releasing it? Anyway. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS. IT IS RETARTED.
This game is awful. How do you scan the item.
It's very fun game we like it l enjoy playing it.
Cute game can't scan items in real life only print outs.
