Doesn't work for me, scanned item, put in product numbers, it just sat there, did NOTHING !

### 1/5 — No good

*2015-06-17, version 3.0*

This app dwells in the land of chocolate tea pots.  It only seems to do QR codes or at least it would if it could talk to the iPad camera, which it can't.
Simply put, don't waste your time with this.

### 5/5 — Brill

*2013-12-30, version 1.0*

I've only tried using bar codes so far but they seem to work fine!😀
It's the best code reading app I've ever tried and I advise it!
Even so I've only tried it on my iPad 4 so don't know if it works on phones or other apple devises and tablets

### 5/5 — Barcode Reader for IPad

### 5/5 — Asome

### 4/5 — Asher wow this is grate!!!!!!

Thance

### 4/5 — Barcode reader tap media IPad

*2013-09-20, version 1.0*

Tried once so far . Use to track deliveries of 150 items to 25?sites in a research project.. Looks good.4 from 5

### 3/5 — Some improvements needed

*2014-02-23, version 1.0*

Barcode reader does what it says. An improvement would be if it would update items scanned when not connected to wifi, by adding the details after connection to wifi is re established. After having scanned 100 CDs when not connected to wifi,  is not the time to find all you have is an accurate list of 100 barcode numbers recorded, without a clue what CDs the numbers refer to!

### 2/5 — disappointing

*2014-05-01, version 1.0*

It worked 50% of the time,  not very intuitive.
