MyRegistry.com launches Android app with barcode scanner

MyRegistry.com, provider online gift registry technology, has announced the release of a new and free Android app that offers an additional method of building gift registries. By employing barcode-scanning technology, the app allows users to easily add any item imaginable to their gift registries or wish lists with a single zap.

"As a direct result of the successful introduction of our popular iPhone app earlier this year, we were inundated with requests for a similar application for devices that operate on the Android platform," said Oded Berkowitz, founder and CEO of MyRegistry.com. "Our two mobile applications truly elevate and enhance the ease of creating the ultimate gift registry or a wish list for our customers. As the leaders in the online gift registry technology market, and to continue with our philosophy of All Stores, One Registry, we are excited to be unveiling our new Android application today."

The app will provide an extension of MyRegistry.com's current services by giving users the added capability of adding any item onto one, universal gift registry while away from their computers.

Users of the MyRegistry.com Android App will be able to:

  • Scan any barcode to easily register for items
  • Compare prices before adding new registry items
  • Manage their own registry items and view guest purchases
  • Send customizable e-cards
  • Give and receive cash gifts
  • View any member's registry and purchase gifts for others
