## What is Barcode Check?

Barcodes will help you to create safe and efficient business processes and require worldwide valid standards. A very important point is to unify coding of data into barcodes. 
The GS1 organization has chosen Code 128 and Datamatrix as base barcode symbology. With currently 169 identifiers (01-2022) all important data could be encoded for example: product identification, lot number, dates, weights, etc. 
Barcode-Check validates if the information in the barcode correspond with the GS1 specifications and help you with other important information's about the application identifier...

### 1/5 — App liest mit iOS keine DMC mehr ein

*2023-11-20, version 2306*

Seit einigen Jahren nutze ich die App. Leider war sie schon immer sensibler als andere Apps in der Code-Erfassung. Seit ein paar Tagen funktioniert das Lesen überhaupt nicht mehr.

### 5/5 — GS1 DataMatrix

*2022-04-19, version 2110*

I got this app several years ago when my company went to the GS1 Datamatrix format. It’s been very reliable in quickly scanning and deciphering these barcodes. I have a lot of subcontractors that have had to learn how to print GS1 data matrix barcodes as well. I’ve found the reports the app generates very useful in communicating label issues to these suppliers. 

I use the app to scan physical labels, pictures of labels, photocopied labels, and label images on my monitors.  It works well.  Only trouble is when a subcontractor provides a really low grade scan of a barcode, but this is not the apps fault. 

I think the app works great for its entended purpose.

### 1/5 — Has potential

*2020-07-23, version 1911*

My free Cognex app, while it doesn’t provide a grade, scans barcodes almost all the time (even when they are photos from my manufacturing sites). So far I have only gotten this app to scan and grade one barcode. I look at a lot of barcodes, all of which are GS1. I agree with another reviewer, I feel cheated out of $20. Stick with something software based to ensure you are meeting GS1 and ISO standards.

### 1/5 — Complete garbage!

*2020-05-13, version 1911*

This app is a complete waste of money. It basically stole $20.00 
It did the same thing a ton of free apps did. It scanned my barcode and “pinged” gave my the product identification number you can see on the UPC, and did nothing else! No other information was found in it, it didn’t score it, it doesn’t tell me it will work, it doesn’t do anything else. None of the the other 4 features worked. The “AI-Liste” has a white box to the right that puts white writing in it you can’t read, and the best part... it didn’t validate or send me anything. The instructions are garbage, there is no information about how any of it works.

### 5/5 — One of my most valued business apps

*2019-12-10, version 1911*

This app is exactly what I’ve been needing. It quickly decides, parses, and analyzes GS1 barcodes. This gives me the ability to quickly analyze my product labels so that I can ensure my medical device and pharmaceutical labels are correct and my downstream customers can read them accurately.

My only request is that I would like the option to export the report to PDF.

### 5/5 — Scannertest

*2014-06-27, version 0114*

Eine sehr gute App um die Inhalte und Steuerzeichen in einem Barcode zu überprüfen.
Hilfreich ist auch der automatisch generierte Report mit Versandmöglichkeit per E-Mail.
Absolut empfehlenswert.

### 5/5 — Scannertest

*2014-02-11, version 0114*

Liest alle gewünschten Codes problemlos.
