Only a month later than promised, we are pleased to announce Gigan will be available today!  MG Sigler has a great post regarding the release on VentureBeat titled, “ShopSavvy perfects its Android app with better location and barcode scanning.“  Specifically the Gigan release offers:

1. Skyhook integration (better and faster location)
2. Faster barcode scanning (new scanning library)
3. Stealth barcode scanning modes (beep, vibrate or silent)
4. Menu shortcuts (visual indicator to indicate Menu tab contains data)
5. Privacy settings (turn off location)
6. Sharing features including Twitter and Facebook

Gigan follows our Mothra release back in January.  Each of our releases are named after opponents of Godzilla.  Gigan is a daikaiju from the Godzilla series, introduced in the 1972 film Godzilla vs. Gigan. Gigan is a cybernetic monster sporting a buzzsaw weapon in its frontal abdominal region and large metallic hooks for hands. Gigan is sometimes considered Godzilla’s most brutal and violent opponent, and has a large fan following (including Godzilla: Final Wars director Ryuhei Kitamura) despite the generally perceived low quality of its first two films. Its new designs for the Millennium series was praised by many and ranked among fans as the best improvements to a daikaiju.
