Great app!

This is the only app I have found that pulls up the description picture and gives the price from multiple retailers!

Couldn’t find anything

I don’t know every single time I tried to pull up the camera to scan the barcode. It wouldn’t even scan the barcode for not even a second not even a second and it was saying that it couldn’t find it so I don’t know. I think this app is whack. I’m deleting was worthless in my opinion.

Hi there. Our database has over 1.8 billion unique products, and is growing every day. It's very possible that some of the items you scanned aren't available in our app... yet. If the app doesn't return product info, there are buttons to easily search for the barcode online. We encourage you to play around with the app a bit more for a proper evaluation.

What happened?

Had to delete the app and reinstall now it works. However the images in my history scan do not show up. Really liked this app when I initially download it a few months ago but now it seems to be buggy. I use it mainly to inventory my sneakers that are in boxes.

Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration. We’re glad reinstalling helped get the app working again, but we understand how disappointing it is when images from your scan history don’t appear. Our team is actively working on improving stability and addressing issues like this.

Should be Lookup Barcode in Someone Else's App

A free app of the day that reads barcodes refers to This App's online data base for BC that was just read. That database suggests DLing this App so I did. Barcode Lookup opens to the splash screen and remains there. Tried multiple times, stuck on splash screen. Using iPhone7 iOS 15.8.3, 100GB free, which is compatible according to App store description. Cannot recommend.

Hi there. We're sorry to hear that you had a poor experience. Are you sure you had data and/or WiFi enabled? This is not a typical response from the app. Internet access is required for the app to load and function properly.

Flaws

Can’t export as CSV

Camera is massively zoomed in

Doesn’t match many products

Relies on crowdsourcing to get info

Data input is clumsy and confusing

UI is clumsy and difficult

Otherwise, works fine and seems to be the only of its kind that can do a product lookup.

WAS great, but now… not so much

I’ve had this app for a few months and it was awesome. I liked how it gave several options and prices. Unfortunately for the last week or two, it no longer scans barcodes. It looks like it’s scanning but never takes the barcode. So I manually typed the UPC and it will give me the list of items, click on the options and NOTHING. :(

Hi there. Is the app still not scanning? We've had no other reported issues of this sort. Please note that your device must be online - either through Wi-Fi or using cellular data. Otherwise products cannot be looked up. Hopefully the app is working for you, and you'll consider giving us a positive review :)

25% Positive identification… really??

Scanned 4 items: a pen, a whiskey, a bottle of cheap wine and a can of heavy cream. Only identified the pen. They claim to have 525 million items on their database, which may be but certainly not every day use common items. It’s useless.

Works pretty good!

Works great most of the time, however it struggles with smaller barcodes. But other then that, it’s really handy.

Won’t scan barcodes

I’ve tried a few different barcodes and it won’t even scan. Just keeps going over and over the barcode looking for it but won’t actually scan.

Hi there. That doesn't sound typical of the app at all! Please email us your device model and operating system to support@barcodelookup.com so that we can investigate what the issue might be.
