I don't mean to be snarky, but I think this is what's called a "minimum viable product" or MVP around here. It's the smallest thing that does something you can explain. In this example it's "on android, download this app, and anything that has a barcode, you can scan and give 1-5 stars." Other times it's "email us a URL and when the contents there change -- for example someone replied to a comment you left on that page -- we'll email you back". Actually brb this is gold!!!
basically, the way to think about mvp's, is it's the "done is better than perfect" equivalent of a proof of concept. Whereas in the old days, someone would innovate and then put out a proof of concept, these days we skip the innovation stage and put out a proof of...ability to put a database app together? I dunno exactly. Sorry about the snarkiness here, I just think there is life outside of this particular bubble.
What's the rest of your path? What plans do you have for this? Sorry I'm being so inquisitive but I'm an Android programmer and also an active seeker of new Android employees for my place of work, so it confuses me to see something like this with zero additional information.

yeah, minimum viable product, just to see if i'm on the right path
