All eyes on the GS1 GoScan iPhone App Launch

The GS1 GoScan iPhone app is in final preparation for its official launch to the Apple iTunes Store at the event in Sydney on 21 March 2013. 

Since the targeted consumer release of GS1 GoScan in October 2012, our GS1 GoScan users have kept busy shopping, scanning and providing valuable feedback to help the GS1 GoScan team put the final touches on the app to get it ready for launch. 

Exciting new features include its ability to link data from certified bodies, such as the National Heart Foundation, and the additional Browse capability to allow consumers to navigate products in GoScan based on the category.

In the lead up to the launch you will notice an increase in social media and public relations activity as well as a number of industry events taking place with the promotion of GoScan on the radio waves and other communication channels. 

Look out for the official launch of GS1 GoScan and get ready to download it free from the Apple iTunes Store onto your iPhone, iPad or iPod on 21 March 2013. 

Brand owners – don’t miss out! There is still time to get your products on the app before its official launch.  Contact 1300 BAR CODE (1300 227 263) or email gs1goscan@gs1au.org
