## What is Barcode Data Decoder Verifier?

This app decodes barcodes to verify encoded data, decode and reveal hidden ASCII control characters, GS1 application identifier FNC AI codes and view information about the encoding of the symbol. This app also parses encoded GS1 data to separate out each application identifier and element string. Reveals ASCII functions that cannot be printed or viewed on the screen including the FS, RS, GS, CR, LF and EOT functions commonly used for ISO/IEC 15434. Supports popular 1D and 2D symbols including Code 128, GS1-128, Code-39, ITF, QR-Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and others. The primary purpose of this app is to verify encoded data in barcodes created with barcode fonts from www.idautomation.com and it may be used for other similar purposes also.

### 2/5 — It is Aight

*2026-06-09, version 2023d*

I’ve used several IDAutomation products in the past and have been very happy with them.  However, I can’t say the same for this app.  I wanted to use it to verify that data encoded in the DataMatrix symbols I create are correct.  The iOS version doesn’t allow me to focus on the DataMatrix symbol and as a result it can’t read it.  It works great on large DataMatrix symbols.  It also allows you to scan photos of barcodes, but that feature only works part of the time.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-02-21, version 2023d*

Not working on iPhone 15

### 2/5 — Poor camera functionality

*2024-06-04*

Seems to only scan data matrices. Autofocus also doesn’t work so if the code isn’t big enough from exactly 6 inches away it won’t read it. It would also be nice to implement the macro lens on newer iPhones to get close enough for smaller codes.

### 5/5 — Perfect barcode scan app without ads

*2024-05-28, version 2023d*

This app is free and record the barcodes in one place for downloading later. No ads is a big plus! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-04-23*

This does just what it says.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-02-15, version 2023d*

Doesn’t read any bar codes Ive tried

### 5/5 — Works perfectly and without ads

*2023-10-31, version 2023d*

Worked perfectly for reverse engineering some mystery barcodes and testing some custom barcodes and qr codes with lots of details on the raw content and type of a code. And to top it off, there’s no ads everywhere or any locked features, awesome app!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-08-25, version 2023b*

Trash doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Great tool for analyzing barcodes

*2023-08-17, version 2023b*

Agree with reviewer ChrisG2023. This is one of the only iOS apps that actually shows the embedded data of a 2D barcode.  Very helpful

### 1/5 — Won’t scan barcodes on apple!!

*2023-07-27, version 2023b*

The app won’t scan barcodes with iPhone 13 Pro. Confirmed the barcode scanned in the app on an android.
