| 2024-10-04 |  | | I personally have used this app since before Samsung released their 1st Galaxy S class of cellphones and Radio Shack was still a brick and mortar retail chain. This app has completed all the tasks I have set it to do. I really enjoyed it's integration with the whole Android OS and Google Apps. It made sharing my Contact info to Potential Clients and / or Friends and Family a breeze!! I still use that feature even to this day!!! Keep up the great work!! 👍😎👍 |
| 2024-09-14 |  | | Says not compatible with my device. Got the new galaxy Z fold 6 upgraded from the 4, which this app worked just fine on but now my new phone won't let me get this app. Frustrating as this is the only barcode scanner app that an app I use to catalog all my movies will use.... please help!!! |
| 2023-08-30 |  | | Ignore the bad reviews talking about how a recent update turned this app into adware; they are rating the wrong app. Before you install this app or any other, check its most recent update date and its permissions; clearly those reviews are talking about another app, perhaps with a similar name. This is a simple app that just scans barcodes & QRcodes, and does it well. It doesn't require any permissions except camera; it doesn't send the barcode (or your identity) to a server. |
| 2023-02-10 |  | | This is a great app and it should give you no problems unless you're constantly updating to new phones. This user is not going to update their app because it works perfectly with offers is Android. If you're suddenly having problems with this app after several years it's because the phone that you picked has changes on top of Androids base code. Don't blame this user for issues blame the company that's changing your version of Android like Samsung loves to do. |
| 2022-11-15 |  | | Used to be great but not anymore. I have had this app for years with no issues at all and it had always worked great. Today I used it and ended up getting a phone full of adware. My browser continued to open new tabs for dumb sales stuff. When I ran my security software, it found that all of the issues were coming from adware from this app. Not sure why they changed this app with all of this adware but I needed to get a new app for my scanner. |
| 2022-10-04 |  | | This was exactly what I was looking for and it worked perfect. I was able to quickly scan product bar codes and save them in "history". When I was finished scanning, I was able to share the history to email as a csv file attachment. The csv file contained the code value, the code type (UPC_A), and the date and time of the scan. The app is super easy to use. Please note that there are many old comments. The app can rotate, has bar code illumination and more. There were NO ADS. |
| 2022-09-13 |  | | 09/13/2022: Had on phones for years. Today it failed, citing a camera error. Found alternative, but it turned out to be a scam (still got ads after paying), so I uninstalled. While searching alternates, I found this one again and reinstalled. Works now. Relieved! I don't use often, but when needed, it's essential! Wish it had flashlight button. Also QR creator doesn't do Clipboard, Bookmark, or Type-In Text. Application & Contacts QRs work. Also won't rotate. |
| 2022-08-01 |  | | I've used this app for years. I bought a new phone and it did not install because of it being "made for an older version of Android". My old phone had been updated to Android 12. My new phone is Android 12. So I installed it in my new phone. It works fine. Great app. Gets the job done. No ads. No shared data. No data collected. Can't beat that! |
| 2022-05-25 |  | | I've been using the app for years and always noticed that sometimes it's working fine, sometimes it will just not recognize a QR code which, as I found out today, is recognized within a fraction of a second by another app (Google Lens). So I must reduce my previous rating, the app has room for improvement. Still positive: No ads and no malware, apparently. |
| 2021-10-08 |  | | When it works it's great! Works fine on my phone, with lighted camera. (Does nothing on unlighted Galaxy Tab 3 in bright conditions. Don't have anymore.) Found a few apps that don't require this specific barcode scanner. Still use a lot, especially for QR codes for Bluetooth device apps on my Android 10 devices. Love that it saves the info from scanned codes: can go back in list and re-enter QR's URLs, book ISBNs, and barcodes. Use weekly for years, no problems! |
