Negative review Another useless app by anonym
App doesn't scan. The developers' rude responses to bad reviews don't solve anything, and make them look stupid. They can't handle criticism, so they use juvenile sarcasm to help them cope with their insecurities. DO NOT download this or any other crap they make. These cowards wouldn't dare talk like that to us if we were face to face. Stop blaming our devices and own up to your mistakes. Maybe you developers should develope brains, or get jobs doing something else 1/5
Positive review Great app. I've never had any issues. by anonym
Fernando Sobrenome is a moron. There is no need to rate such a useful app one star because of some stupid preference. Turning your device sideways is the most logical thing to do, and anyone that would complain about that is childish. Some people will complain about anything. Even if it's free... Thank you, developers, for making this app and for doing such a wonderful job with it. 5/5
Negative review Does not work on my samsung xq 20 by anonym
Will not scan right always says error error please reboot 2/5
Negative review Ad pops up before it has time to scan... by anonym
Scanning a specific barcode is how I deactivate my alarm in the mornings, this has been a huge inconvenience, and unfortunately, my alarm app exclusively uses this barcode app for this function. Lately, ads pop up so fast that it doesn't have time to properly recognize the barcode, so the alarm keeps going off, which is infuriating. The developers of this app apparently don't care, as there is absolutely no way to report problems other than this. Worst app ever. 1/5
Positive review Works by anonym
I wish I could respond to my customers the way this developer does! All the simpletons complaining saying the app sucks. If you have a legitimate complaint then state what it is and ask for help. It seems doing that takes too much brain power for many! Instead you say it sucks and u hate it and talk about switching to other apps. What kind of response do you think u deserve with that kind of approach? The app is free. If you're that upset over it get a life and find something that makes you happy! Lol 4/5
Negative review Garbage by anonym
Every single time I want to use this app it tells me that the camera encountered a problem. This, despite a fact that the camera works just fine for other scanners & for taking pictures. Really tired of this app - uninstalling. 1/5
Positive review A solid barcode scanner by anonym
This app does a very admirable job of scanning QR codes which is my primary usage scenario. It stores the codes its great. The one flaw is that is lives in landscape mode. For no reason that i can discern the HUD is always landscape. That said holding the phone portrait does not appear to affect its ability to scan. 4/5
Positive review 6 Stars! Superb by anonym
Great app, first thing in reach that i scan, it finds. Spot on. The people who have rated 1 star don't deserve to be consuming our valuable oxygen. 5/5
Positive review Works as advertised by anonym
This only scans bar codes and QR codes and that's it, it does not do product searches, not even popular ones, and it does not make your camera do impossible tricks. It does provide an API for other apps to use and therefore got blamed for being 'broken'. Loving the one star reviews ;) 5/5
Positive review Very impressed by anonym
So far I can say this scanner is insanely fast. I'm still trying to hold it still when I hear the beep and get a result. Very cool 5/5
Negative review Bar code reader by anonym
Every time I have tried to use it it response, " CANNOT FIND THIS ITEM" It's just another example of the Crap you put on your phones. 1/5
Positive review This App works great by anonym
If it doesnt work for your phone its not software problem its your phone useless...Thanks developer 5/5
Positive review Love your replies! by anonym
Awesome app; has always worked flawlessly. As a bonus, I get to read and enjoy your replies to clueless users. 5/5
Positive review Please read why! by anonym
One I downloaded this for the sarcastic snippy comebacks to some smart "sassy "reviews. Kudos to you guys for that and not kissing butt. Two homer simpson also got my attention. And 100mil downloads. It works. Its free. I love the demands people place on FREE APPS. 5/5
Positive review GO ZXING TEAM by anonym
App is great, however I picked this one purely because of the reviews, more specifically the responses from Zxing Team ... Your replies are simply making the person accountable for what they have put in writing! People are too quick to complain first before looking for a solution, frustrating when the solution is there already if they bothered to look! 5/5
Positive review Wow. First time, amazing by anonym
Never used an app to do this before. Tried it (Samsung Galaxy S5) and BLOWN AWAY by speed, ease of use, and accuracy. Useful for anything with a code. Recommending to everyone. 5/5
Neutral review Portrait Not Available. by anonym
Can you please add a "Portrait" functionality, I hate having to read the URL on it's side since I don't turn my phone. 3/5
Negative review Doesn't scan if mobile have fixed focus camera by anonym
I didn't noticed anything scanned till now. I think its because my phone has fixed focus camera.. It can't focus nearer objects so app will fail to scan 2/5
Negative review No instructions on using it by anonym
How long are you supposed to hold your phone over the barcode for it to work. How do you know if it's worked? How long is a scan supposed to take? I held my phone over it as steady as I could for over five minutes, and not sure if anything happened at all. 2/5
Neutral review by anonym
This app is a great idea, but I can't get it to work. I hold it still over the bar code and it doesn't work. Could it be the phone? Android Kyocera. 3/5
Neutral review Cannot work with large barcodes. by anonym
Works well with small codes. But, It seems, it always focuses in macro mode, so, when I close up camera, code does not fit into view (and isn't recognized), and when I try to scan from afar, picture is blurred, thus code isn't recognized. For fraction of second, when it tries to re-focus, it seems to have sharp picture, but apparently this isn't enough time for the program to read code. For comparison, Google Googles app work well with codes of any size (but requires internet). 3/5
Negative review by anonym
I have a galaxy s4 and I've had this app on my previous two phones as well. This barcode scanner has probably only worked about twice. Maybe three times. It goes so slow that I usually give up. 1/5
Positive review Comes in handy by anonym
When I'm shopping this app is great because I don't have to search all over the store for a scanner when I can't find the price. It tells me popular stores like Walmart and Targets price but it does have some bugs, the major one is sometimes it has incorrect info about the product like it's name/picture but it doesn't happen often. Need a way to report incorrections Please! 4/5
Positive review Works for me by anonym
Hasn't failed me yet. Then again, I"m not a prolific scanner. I used it primarily for QR codes. 5/5
Negative review What's with the forced landscape mode? by anonym
I don't want to turn my phone sideways to scan, who thought that this was a good idea? Make the app work on portrait mode aka vertically and I will update to 5 stars. 1/5
Neutral review Front Camera by anonym
Works great but useless for me as I need to use the front camera for scanning. Any chance of adding that feature? 3/5
Negative review Should auto focus out of box. by anonym
I use this for work to scan checkpoints, on a galaxy note 2. Have to go into settings and change a few things for auto focus to actually work. 2/5
Negative review Doesn't work on anything so far by anonym
Tried various camera bug settings. None have worked. In comparison RedLaser recognized the same barcodes within a split of a second. 1/5
Neutral review Craig Brannan by anonym
This app is good it works this message is in response to a few people that left bad feedback it only supports some phones and a autobiography is not a household item this app was designed for food shopping and items like that works great for me 3/5
Positive review Absolutely wonderful!! by anonym
I've been playing around with barcode scanners for a long time. I finally found one that works flawlessly. Scans codes no other app has recognized. It's free and there are no ads. Great job developers!! 5/5
Positive review by anonym
I have never had any issues with this scanner. I can scan both codes on a receipt and bring up same thing I've been using it ever since I got this droid ultra 4/5
Positive review Works! by anonym
People who give this one star just don't know how to phone. In low light its sometimes tricky to get the scanner to snag the bar code, go find some light. Any time I've used this app, it has worked just dandy. 5/5
Negative review Horrible.. by anonym
It'll scan but I just have to wait and hold it very still.And that just gives me anxiety..It only picked up a few things.. Some other things it won't or takes forever and I just can't wait. Especially if I'm at a store and need a price quick..Sorry but uninstalled it.? 1/5
Negative review It takes too long by anonym
I have to have my phone completely still for it to be able to read a barcode and it just sits there and keeps trying to scan it I can type it in and go to the web page faster than this thing can read a barcode deleting now there's better ones out there 1/5
Positive review Works great! by anonym
Don't use it often, but works perfectly when I do. Also tried with instawifi app which created a qr code for guests to configure their phone with my WiFi just by scanning, and it was awesome. This app just scans barcode that instawifi app creates and instantly let people connect to my WiFi at home. 5/5
Positive review Barcode Scanner by anonym
Read reviews.....pretty even between love/hate...but I downloaded, found a used coffee cup, scanned and had a 12 oz. 7/11 coffee cup in my hand.. .in under 2 minutes. Way cool! 5/5
Negative review Sucks by anonym
I can't get this thing to scan anything. I give up. I'm deleting it and that's sucks because it was going to be used for my nail polish data bar base 1/5
Negative review Doesn't capture various barcodes by anonym
Tried on various products. Success rate was nearly 20%. Database shoukd be expanded to include various household products. It was not even able to capture code of "Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin". 2/5
Positive review How to work this app by anonym
This app uses your device's camera, meaning that if it is taking too long to scan, your camera is probably not in focus. This app can only see through your camera but not adjust its settings so if your scan is really slow or not working, open up your camera, put it at the same proximity as you would scan, tap the center of the screen, and that will focus your camera. Then re-open the scanner and scan away. 4/5
Positive review Gets the job done by anonym
Scans the code correctly. Just need to put the red line across the bar code and keep it there untill it bleeps. I suspect the people that state that it doesn't work were trying to make a scanning motion like in the supermarket. ? 4/5
