This is admittedly one of the most addictive apps I have ever downloaded. Best of all, it's free! The basic premise is that there are spirits (Of Japanese cartoon females) in everything! So in order to 'capture a spirit' you scan the barcode of said product. Anything from the bread and cheese you purchased at the market to the new shoes you got on sale. Once scanned you can either create a new girl, or friend the spirit, if it's already been scanned by someone else. 
When you "create" a new kanojo, you do not get to select what she looks like. She already has a predetermined look, based on the barcode itself. her hair, skin, and personality are unique to her, based on where the barcode was scanned, and where the product was created, among other factors. Your job is to type in her item information such as the product, the company and give her a name. You can even photograph the product she was scanned from. That girl is now on your list of "girlfriends" (You are such a player)When you friend a kanojo that someone else has scanned, you can visit her once every 20 minutes to attempt to "steal" her away. You can take her on dates, buy her gifts or give her kisses (By tapping her face). Depending on her personality, she will respond differently to each activity. Some girls prefer kisses, some hate them. Some love dates, others prefer gifts. You can only interact with girls you have scanned barcodes from.
You can increase the love of each of your kanojo by doing activities with her. Unlike when you visit other people's kanojos, you can visit your own, as often as you like, with no restrictions. You also have access to more dates and such for your own kanojos. You can even choose to purchase clothing for her with real money. Everything from Chinese dresses to Maid outfits.
There are so many combinations, it's difficult to find two of the same looking character. Some traits are very unique. If you find one with these traits, other people may try to steal them away from you. Some of the most rare traits include purple or pink hair, and blue skin. Uncommon traits are cat ears, whiskers and cat eyes. Different girls also have different clothing. But you can always choose to change her outfit.The website for the app (Barcodekanojo.com) is a bit limited as for as instruction (As is the app). I'll try to elaborate a bit. There are several places on the kanojo that you can tap. She responds differently to different areas. A tap on the face is a kiss. A tap on her body is a tickle. Usually the stomach area gives you a higher "love" rating than say the arm. But this isn't 'always' the rule. Kanojos have a "star rating", I have yet to figure out what this is based on. it may be popularity. It may have some to do with other people clicking "like" on it, or it might have to do with follower count. But these all seem to conflict with the stars I keep seeing on various kanojos, so it's hard to say. Buying other people's kanojos a "bag" usually gets you 20 points. It's best to come back every 20 minutes until you've stolen her. because at any time, once someone notices you're approaching their kanojo, they can fill the kanojo's love back up within a couple minutes. On Valentine's day every you are able to buy Valentine's box chocolates for your own girls. When you buy them one, no matter what, it fills their love bar in one go. Take advantage of these! Every now and then you should check your "goods". You may have bed sheets. You can give these bed sheets to your favourite kanojo. When you do this she will sleep in them at night. When she does this, no one else can visit her until morning. If someone is relentlessly trying to steal one of your kanojo you can send her on a vacation for up to 3 days. While on vacation no one can visit her. Sadly, this includes you as well. You can also shake the iPhone to make her dizzy. This is very fun, but does not gain you any love.
I recommend this to anyone who likes 'collecting' or is interested in Japanese cartoons, or just like cute things. Sadly you can't collect any male spirits yet. but who knows... maybe one day they'll add such a feature (I wont hold my breath).
