Als Abo erhältlich ist das optionale Upgrade Barcode Pro. Es erlaubt CSV Export, beliebig viele custom URLs und einen Modus zum schnellen Scannen in Serie. Schreiben Sie uns über die Kundenservice Option in der App, wir beraten gern im Einzelnen. Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar und die fünf Sterne. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-02-03, version 3.1.1* Doesn’t work and is difficult to unsubscribe ### 5/5 — Just the barcode reader I was looking for *2022-12-08, version 3.1.1* Excellent barcode reader. Very quick. Also nice that it supports dark theme and has a nice, simple icon. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Gerne genutzt *2022-08-31* 😀 ### 5/5 — a n jiuhhhy *2021-11-06, version 3.1.1* RVM zhhy yyygooob ### 4/5 — Test Matrixcode *2021-08-30* Die App zeigt zuverlaessig den Barcode an. Gut ist die Speicher und Sendeoption. Was fehlt ist die Hexcode- Anzeige um Steuerzeichen RS(Hex 1E) bis zum EOT(Hex 04) pruefen zu können. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar und Ihre Nachricht an den Kundenservice, wir freuen uns auf die weitere Unterhaltung über Ihren Feature-Wunsch. ### 1/5 — Datenräuber *2020-04-20* Trotz Bezahlen will die App Zugriff auf Kalender etc. Frech, wozu gibt man Geld aus, wenn mit Daten weiter Schindluder getrieben wird? **Developer response:** Zugriff auf Kalender und Kontakte ist nur nötig, wenn Sie die Daten eines entsprechenden QR-Codes in den Kalender oder Ihre Kontakte speichern möchten. Dies ist optional; Sie können die Daten auch einfach in die Zwischenablage kopieren, per eMail/AirDrop/etc. senden oder als CSV Datei exportieren - dafür braucht es keinerlei Zugriff auf Kalender oder Kontakte. Ansonsten können wir Ihnen versichern, dass keine Daten aus Ihren Kontakten oder Ihrem Kalender ausgelesen werden - diese optionale Zugriffsberechtigung nutzen wir ausschließlich, um Daten, die aus 1D und 2D Barcodes ausgelesen wurden, abzuspeichern. Es werden auch sonst keinerlei Daten an irgendwelche Server gesendet. Lassen Sie uns wissen, wenn Sie weitere Fragen haben. Ansonsten können Sie die App natürlich auch zurückgeben. ## Frequently asked questions about Barcode + QR Code Reader ### What does the Barcode + QR Code Reader app do?
