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. ### 3/5 — 我的Mac不能執行. *2025-12-27, version v4.8.4* 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. ### 4/5 — 好用，但有的手機不能選掃描 *2025-12-17, version v4.8.4* 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。 ### 3/5 — Bug in Version 4.8.3 *2025-05-03, version v4.8.4* Bisher bin ich begeisterter Nutzer. Mit der Version 4.8.3 scheint sich aber ein Bug eingeschlichen zu haben. Seitdem komme ich (auf iPhone 8 Plus wie auf iPhone 14) nicht mehr in den Scan-Modus, d.h. Klicke ich auf das Kamera-Symbol (egal ob Einzel- oder Multi-Scan), dann bricht der Scanvorgang ab. Bitte schnell beheben. (Daher eigentlich gerade gar keine Bewertung möglich, sobald er behoben ist gerne wieder 5 Sterne.) Schnell reagiert! Lob ans Entwickler-Team. Mit dem jüngsten Update son Ende April 2025 ist der Bug Vergangenheit. ### 2/5 — Não funciona *2025-03-18, version v4.8.3* Tentei ler o QR-Code e como se esgotou o tempo, não pude fazer mais nada. Ficou instalado no Mac mas não abria pra escanear o QR-Code novamente. Eu nem conseguia apagar o app porque dizia que estava em execução. Tive que reiniciar o Mac pra poder remover o app. ### 4/5 — App is great *2023-07-05* It’s simple and it just works. It’s very fast and reliable. However, one thing that would make the user interface much better is an option to turn off automatic scanning when the camera lens is open. This would give us an opportunity to focus in on the correct barcode. Some boxes have multiple barcodes close to each other and it is very easy to scan the wrong one, causing waste of time later deleting unwanted information. This can increase scanning speed and make it more accurate. Even better, adding an on-screen button to trigger the scan whenever the we align the center of the red square with the barcode we wish to scan. That way the app knows which barcode we want to scan. Another idea, if we point the camera to a label with multiple barcodes and then we tap on the barcode we want to scan to trigger the reading for only that barcode. This would make things much easier. ### 4/5 — Great *2022-06-09* I would like to ask developer have it more stream lined so that when making new lists/sessions you don’t have to keep closing and reopening app. The camera ends up not being accessible after first time (iphone13), then I have to close and then open again. Other than that it’s been useful and works great for multiple scans in one session. ### 5/5 — 10/10 not 5 *2022-05-03* The perfect app, it Works perfectly and in real-time it's also free. ### 5/5 — Great support and wonderful app! *2022-01-11* This app does everything it says and all that I needed it to. But even more important than the app, the developer is great at customer service. He is quick to respond and has solutions to offer! ### 5/5 — 10 stars out of 5 *2022-01-07* No really if I could give this app more than the 5 star rating I would. If you need a barcode scanner for your computer, this app will absolutely meet your needs. I did a full store inventory with it and I am absolutely happy with my purchase(I bought the unlimited use license). A+++. Also worth noting, the creator of this software is very responsive, so if you have any questions be sure to shoot them an email and they will definitely take care of your concerns. ### 5/5 — Funciona a la perfección *2021-11-10, version v3.18.2* Excelente aplicación ### 3/5 — Sorry but there are two issues… *2021-11-09* The app works great but two issue had me looking for alternatives. I couldn’t find any, so hopefully the developer will read this. I use this with Windows 10. This app loses connection with the pc every time the iPhone screen goes black. Which is often for my use case. I scan a barcode and then have to enter other values on the pc. When I have to scan another barcode, the screen has since gone black and the connection is lost. I have to wait for it to reconnect. It is annoying, wasting time and ruining my flow. The second issue is that the scanning could be a lot faster. I have another app for work that also scans barcodes. That thing is straight up magic. I don’t have to wait for the camera to focus nor align the barcode to some line. On this app I have to dance the object front and back. So the scanning speed needs improvement. ### 5/5 — Review *2021-09-16* Great privilege to use this product. Works really good. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2021-08-16, version v3.17.0* Easy to use. Works great, ### 5/5 — Çok kaliteli bir uygulama *2021-07-27, version v3.17.0* Cep telefonunu barkod okuyucu olarak kullanıp, cep telefonunun okuduğu barkodları farklı bir ekrana aktaran tek uygulama .... Başka var mı ben bulamadım. Barkodları düzgün okumak sizin cep telefonu kameranıza kalmış...kameranız iyiyse bu program mükemmel çalışıyor. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many steps to setup *2025-10-28* 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? ### 1/5 — Camera is not loading *2025-03-21, version v4.8.3* Whatever the developers did in the recent update has now completely disabled the camera. I select the single or multiple scan option and now the camera won't open. The app is now defunct! Please fix ASAP as this app is a 5 Star app when it actually works! ### 1/5 — macOS not supported *2024-10-21, version v4.7.5* When you download the macOS client, it cannot install on the latest OS ### 1/5 — Blank screen *2024-05-02* I can’t use it, as soon as I open it, a blank screen shows ### 1/5 — Keine Kameraoptionen *2024-02-20, version v4.6.2* An sich gute App aber leider kann man weder Zoomen noch sonst irgendwie Kameraeinstellungen verändernd. Mit dem iPhone 15 Pro muss man mindestens 1m Abstand halten. Somit ist kein gezieltes scannen möglich. ### 1/5 — Slow and has hidden purchases *2021-04-09* This app is extremely slow and if you actually want to make use of the more advanced features you’re required to purchase a license from their website... ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-08-15* This is totally useless. The OCR does not work. I can not get it to recognize any characters! I have to type all the codes manually, so what is the use of this? Not even worth there price of $0. ### 1/5 — Comment *2019-08-27, version v3.1.4* It is not working at all. Barcode 83870000005-2 is read as 83870000005 Is there anything I can do about that? ### 1/5 — Geht mit ios 12.3 nicht *2019-06-25, version v3.1.1* Stürzt leider bei aktivierten Wlan bei einen iPhone Xs mit iOS 12.3 ab ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-03-22, version v3.0.2* It stops working after a while and asks for money... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Çok başarılı *2025-11-07, version v4.8.4* Mükemmel ### 5/5 — Yardım ! *2025-08-02, version v4.8.4* Uygulama güzeldi, fakat son zamanlarda uygulamaya bağlı başka kullanan telefon olmamasına rağmen iki kullanıcı var diye uyarı veriyor. Sistemden atamıyorum a nedenle de kullanmaya devam edemiyorum. Sildim yeniden yükledim vs ama çalışmadı :) ### 5/5 — Good app! *2024-10-21, version v4.7.5* Es lo que yo esperaba del sistema. Excelente trabajo ### 5/5 — Genau was ich gesucht habe *2022-12-21, version v4.3.0* Scans vom iPhone können direkt an der Curserposition auf dem Mac eingefügt werden :-) ### 5/5 — Good *2022-12-06, version v4.3.0* Good ### 5/5 — Very useful app ever!! *2022-11-29, version v4.3.0* Thank you the developer who made this. It's helpful and great performance! ### 5/5 — Bueno *2022-09-30, version v4.2.0* Bueno ### 5/5 — ممتاز جدا *2022-09-08, version v4.2.0* برنامج مميز ### 5/5 — Spitze! *2022-07-09, version v3.19.0* Funktioniert wirklich klasse und ist für Privatgebrauch sogar kostenlos! ### 5/5 — Notável app *2022-05-13, version v3.19.0* Elegante e poderoso aplicativo. Usando o output template correto, lê perfeitamente o boleto bancário brasileiro.
