What's New in Barcode to PC

5.0.8

October 29, 2026

Connection • When the computer's plan reaches a limit, the phone says which one and keeps your scans until it is lifted • Computers found on the network show their own name, and pairing tries every address a computer offers • The computer can manage this phone: its settings, a join password and a Settings lock, shown as "Managed by" in Settings (with the new computer app) Sessions • Updating from the previous version, the app asks before importing your old scans and shows its progress Fixed • Sessions: a phone with many photos from the previous version no longer opens the new app with an empty list • Templates: CSV lookup, HTTP and the other steps run on the computer no longer fail with an empty error • Templates: a template limited to phone names with % (as in the previous app) shows on those phones again • Connection: the computer's password is no longer asked for again and again after you removed that computer from the app • Interface: the tips card after your first scan opens the output template guide

Disappointing Onboarding

Seems to have promise, but I’ve already wasted enough time and was only able to scan one barcode. I installed the app on my iPhone 15 Pro, and downloaded the Windows version for my Win11 Pro PC. I used my Microsoft Account to sign up. Work or school accounts appear to be unsupported, so I used my personal MS account. I got to the login success page with the code, but pc app won’t accept it. It also tells me there is a server/app version mismatch, when using the latest currently available on their website. I scanned one barcode and it told me I hit my limit.

我的Mac不能執行.

Mac端還要去app store外下載server程式，而我的Mac不能執行該server程式.

好用，但有的手機不能選掃描

SONY手機型號：XQ-DE72, 安卓15, 掃描時選擇單一或連續時，會不給選擇，無法進入掃描畫面。

Too many steps to setup

Way too many steps to setup. Why do I need to download and use the server when I’m only using it for my computer? Why not just pair the data using Bluetooth?
