The scanner which was preinstalled on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone did not work at all. This scanner has a much higher success rate when it comes to actually scanning an item. Unfortunately the success rate is about 50% when it comes to identifying details about the item (i.e. where to buy it, price, etc.). That being said, the app is free so I cannot complain. Thank you! :) xo

This app is an important part of my workflow. It recognises faster and more reliably than the others I've tried. The most recent version update has removed the 'download history' option. This breaks my workflow because I relied on the csv to provide the time that each code was scanned. Is this functionality still in the app? If not, is it possible to get an APK of the previous version from somewhere?

I used this a good number of times before I purchased the upgrade and it was flawless and worked great that's why I bought the upgraded version. But after I purchased the upgrade and installed it I can't get it to read anything. Even the ones that it read easily before the upgrade are unreadable now. I sent several emails to their website to see if I could get it working right but I have never received a response from them. And there ya go.

App's decent. Does QR and Barcodes if your camera can focus. Tho i wish there was better control on focus. Also i hate that if i scan something i cant easily put the number in my clipboard to post in my nite app. I have to allow it to open in the browser first then trudge thru the history. Hell it would be nice to write optional notes in the app or even tbe pic

ShopAdvisor, the site where this app would send you to to see product details, has shut down this part of their website. This is not a problem on Scan's end, so this will not affect my review. This just a note.

About this app

HOW THE APP WORKS

To scan a QR code or barcode simply open the app, point the camera at the code, and you’re done! There is no need to take a photo or press a button. Scan will automatically recognize any code your camera is pointing at.

When scanning a QR code, if the code contains a website URL, you will automatically be taken to the site. If the code just contains text, you'll immediately see it. For other formats such as phone numbers, email addresses, or contact info, you will be prompted to take the appropriate action.

PRODUCT BARCODES

Scan recognizes all of the popular barcode types (UPC, EAN, and ISBN) and shows you pricing, reviews, and more about any products you scan. Barcode scanning requires a newer device in order to work reliably. Cameras on older devices do not provide the resolution or focus required for barcode scanning.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

• View a history list and map of all of your past scans
• Toggle your front or rear camera for scanning
• Set a default browser to open websites in
• Scan pictures of QR codes and barcodes from your camera roll
• A switch to turn on your device’s light (if it has one) for scanning in low-light circumstances

REQUIREMENTS
