Tried to set this up to scan QR codes and extract the data. The app is very inconsistent and the instructions are useless. Thought this might save me some time from just using the camera and saving it to Excel but after hours it's obvious that it won't work. It will scan the code but won't extract the data from the different lines automatically so it's slower than just manually transferring the data to Excel.

Edit: Devs fixed this issue very fast. Now working like before. Thank you guys! Here is the old review: After being updated, it is now forced to use alphabetical order. Used to be able to add a custom item as a divider then scan continuously for those. Now it just auto-sorts them with no setting to go back to the original sorting method. No obvious way, at least.

Fantastic for inventory management at my job. The export and cloud feature makes it great for maintaining my own master spreadsheets. However, the recent update to the scanning engine, while improving speed, appears to have partially broken scanning of data matrix barcodes. The app now fails to scan any 2D data matrix below a certain physical size, where in the previous version they scanned without issue. This necessitated rolling back to the version prior. Great app otherwise.

Great for my job but you need to fix an issue with the scanning side. When you click on + to open your fields, and then click on the barcode button the left side, it goes to your camera like normal. However, when you click on the back button (I'm on Galaxy Note 9), it doesn't go back to the fields at all. It goes back to the main list, deleting all the previous data you already added in.

An absolutely perfect app for the situation that I needed. Was updating a fire alarm panel that uses barcodes for the serial numbers and had to write them all down to map the system. This app made my job a hundred times easier than what it would have been. I tried at least 3 other apps that have the similar set up but we're not as user friendly as this one. The ability to export via email or even upload to Google Drive is very nice. I'd give it an 9.5 out of 10, certainly user friendly, very useful, and no deceptive ads. A few things I'd like to see for settings but all around a great app. My favorite part, which also kept me in check, was the fact that if I happened to come across a device that I already did it registered that and added another to that so I was able to see I did it. Certainly would be good for doing inventory and keeping track of stock. Thanks for the work here, keep it up!

This app has been a lifesaver in setting up our inventory, so much so we're even planning on using it to maintain our inventory! The developers on the support chat are extremely responsive and helpful. I can't overstate this; they've answered all my questions in detail within a few hours. The customization of what the app/scanner displays means our workers can see the data (product names, MFG) but only edit quantities. There's no reason to use Excel to track inventory while this app is around!
