## What is Barcode Info?

Point your camera at any barcode and see what it actually encodes. No ads, no sign-up, and scanning works with no connection at all.

Barcode Info identifies the code type, verifies the check digit, and tells you where the product's barcode was registered. Scan a QR code and it classifies the content: link, Wi-Fi network, contact card, email, phone number, and more. Scan a shipping label and it reads the fields the label carries.

WHAT YOU GET
- Symbology identification: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, ITF-14, QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417
- Check-digit validation for product codes (GTIN-8/12/13/14), with UPC-E expanded to its UPC-A equivalent
- Country of registration from the GS1 prefix, with country flags, including special ranges such as in-store codes, ISBN, and ISSN
- GS1 label fields on GS1-128 and GS1 DataMatrix codes: batch or lot, best before and expiry dates, serial number, pallet number (SSCC), weight and size
- Content detection for QR codes: links (with one-tap open in browser), Wi-Fi, contacts, email, phone, SMS, location, calendar events
- A photo of every scan: the camera frame the code was found in
- Notes on any scan, with your earlier notes offered as one-tap chips
- Filters for your history: by kind of code, by date, or scans with a note, a photo or a failed check digit
- Scan history saved on your device: reopen any result, swipe to delete, or clear everything at once
- On iPad held sideways, the list and the scan side by side
- Scan from the Home Screen: press and hold the app icon and pick Scan

BARCODE INFO PREMIUM
An optional one-time purchase, not a subscription. Everything above stays free. Premium adds:
- Folders: sort scans into folders, each with a color of your choice
- Export: send your history out as a CSV or text file
- Scan one after another: start the next scan straight from the result
- More photos per scan: add your own, like the back of the pack or the price tag
- Quick preview: hold a scan in the list to see what it holds
Premium works with Family Sharing.

HONEST BY DESIGN
The GS1 prefix shows where the manufacturer registered the barcode, not where the product was made. Barcode Info says so, plainly, instead of pretending otherwise. In-store and company-internal codes are labeled as such rather than mapped to a misleading country.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Scanning and everything the app works out from a code happen on your device. The app goes online only when you buy or restore Premium, and Apple handles the payment. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your scan history and photos stay on your device.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-23

Barcode Info Premium is here: a one-time purchase that adds folders, export, scanning one code after another, more photos per scan and a quick preview. Everything that was free stays free.

Also new, for everyone:
- Add a note to any scan. Your earlier notes come back as one-tap chips.
- Filter your history by kind of code, by date, or by scans with a note, a photo or a failed check digit.
- On iPad held sideways, the list and the scan sit side by side.
- A tidier result sheet with a close button. Pull it down to close, however long it is.
- Tell us what you think from Settings.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-10

Reads GS1 labels. Point the camera at a shipping label or a box of medicine, and the app lists the fields the code carries: batch or lot number, best before and expiry dates, serial number, pallet number, weight and size. If the label also holds a product number, you still get the check digit and the country it was registered in.

A settings screen. It shows how many scan photos are on your iPhone and how much space they take. You can look through them and delete a single one, or delete them all and keep the scans.

The history list is easier to read. Every row now says what the code is on one line and when you scanned it on the next. A QR code gets a small icon for what is inside it: a link, a Wi-Fi network, a note.

This version needs iOS 15 or later.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-04

Scan from the Home Screen: press and hold the app icon, pick Scan, and the scanner opens right away.

A torch button in the scanner, for badly lit shelves.

Sharper scan photos. The app now keeps the clearest frame of a scan instead of the first one it manages to read, which is usually the one where focus and exposure are still settling.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-04
