### 4/5 — The best available by a good way, but expensive

*2026-08-12, version 2.6.7*

The bad:
Instructions and guidance for adding event tickets that occur on a specific date isn’t there. It doesn’t explain how to set one up or what the field expiry date and relevant date are and how they affect things. Also the time you added it seems to affect when they display, rather than being able to put in a time as well as a date. So I find adding boarding passes or event tickets have to be added as store cards and to manually go into the app to find and display them. There are also some minor annoying quirks with the UI but these are minor and not difficult to cope with

The good:
It’s very good. The best of ours kind on the App Store. Does all you need for any barcodes apart from as mentioned above. Regular updates on the developer.

### 3/5 — Fonctionnel mais payant annuel ou mensuel

*2026-07-29*

Payant

### 3/5 — Update

*2026-06-27, version 2.6.3*

The app will not update

### 5/5 — Seamless

*2026-06-11, version 2.6.1*

Seamless UX. The best app I’ve got in a while !

### 4/5 — Too slow to transfer

*2026-06-08, version 2.6.1*

In general the app looks great. I work retail and I have to get a new QR code daily. The problem is that it takes too long to transfer. Too often the transfer does not take place fast enough to use it. I have another app that is fast enough I just wished this app was faster.

### 5/5 — Great App! Worth the price.

*2026-06-06, version 2.6.0*

This app does exactly what I need. It gives me convenient access to loyalty cards. It can interface with Apple
Wallet, but I use it to provide quick and convenient access to my loyalty cards without unlocking Apple wallet and my credit cards. 
I’m a Støcard/Kląrna refugee. I took screenshots before deleting those apps and used the import from photos to load them into Barcodes. 

This a paid app.  None of your data is re-sold to fund it.  Your data is only stored in the cloud if and where you want it.

Update:
I now have an Apple Watch. The watch integration works well. I don’t need to take out my phone to access cards and the barcodes scan correctly whenever I use it.

### 5/5 — Get this App!

*2026-06-04, version 2.5.6*

I’ve been using this app for some time now and it’s amazing, all my loyalty cards in one place. No rifling through websites and apps looking for your loyalty cards it’s so convenient

### 5/5 — Feature-rich App, and Responsive Dev!

*2026-06-04, version 2.5.6*

I have never left a review for an app before, but I need give a major shout out to Jake. I have requested the most niche brand logos in the past two weeks and he has promptly added them to the app. Besides that, I have been able to use the app for my gym and library cards, which has been a HUGE convenience. The ability to sync with Apple Wallet is the cherry on top.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2026-06-01, version 2.5.6*

Up to 3 barcodes( free) , goes into Apple wallet everything I want it to be, no ads

### 5/5 — VERY GOOD!

*2026-05-23, version 2.5.6*

This app is really good at taking my screenshotted cards from Klarna and turning them into stunning cards in my apple wallet.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2026-05-12, version 2.5.6*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — No more carrying and sorting through dozens of store/gift cards

*2026-05-07, version 2.5.6*

So convenient! I traded my huge wallet in for a minimalist version and will never go back! 

Support is quick, helpful and friendly! Highly recommended!!

### 5/5 — Easy, helpful and great support

*2026-05-06, version 2.5.6*

I love this app! It stores all my various passes, syncs with Apple wallet and my Apple watch, and the devs respond quickly. Honestly, 10/10 and am grateful for an app that's easy to use and solves a big problem. I think I scan it every week between the gym, Costco and all the other places we go that I have my passes stored.

### 5/5 — So far, so very good

*2026-04-23, version 2.5.6*

Since I no longer carry a smartphone, I lost the feature of Apple Wallet that allowed me to store loyalty cards. I was therefore very pleased to discover this app which allows me to carry everything on my iPad Mini instead. I tried the free version for a couple of weeks and was so impressed that I decided it was worth paying the lifetime subscription.

### 5/5 — Easier than Apple Wallet

*2026-04-12*

Widget is a game changer for commonly used codes. Much easier than the built-in Apple thing. And the developer is super responsive.

### 5/5 — Adore it, with one exception.

*2026-04-02, version 2.5.6*

I wish I could add my own brand logos! I use the bar code for my climbing gym. If I had that last little bit of customizability, I’d pay for the app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No longer works :(

*2026-07-12, version 2.6.5*

Stopped working, tried to update but gets stuck. Tried reinstalling and just spins

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2026-07-01, version 2.6.4*

Taken away the ability it add to watch or apple wallet if you dont pay for premium. Wont make me pay for it, ill find another app that will

### 1/5 — Don’t Update

*2026-06-13, version 2.6.2*

Updated and now it crashes as soon as I open it.
Useless App Now.

### 1/5 — Pay to Use

*2026-06-04*

You can only put 3 cards in without paying.

**Developer response:** Hey, the card limit is mentioned in the app description but I'll see if I can make that more prominent. Barcodes doesn't show ads or sell your data so it's not free, the app is the product not your data. Thanks for trying it out!

### 1/5 — Complete Scam

*2026-02-22, version 2.5.4*

Don’t waste your time with this.  I read about it in Stuff Magazine who said it was free.  The app locks and requires payment after you’ve loaded 3 cards.  I’ll let Stuff Magazine know as well.

### 1/5 — Tout ça pour ça ???

*2026-01-05*

13€ pour juste scanner un code barre ? Ça ressemble beaucoup à un abus ... 3 scans pas un de plus et tu payes ... bon et bien ce sera POUBELLE... il y a des limites

**Developer response:** Hé, la limite de la carte gratuite est mentionnée dans la description de l'application. L'application ne montre pas de publicités et ne vend pas vos données, donc elle n'est pas gratuite, l'application est le produit, pas vos données. Merci de l'avoir essayée !

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-12-29, version 2.5.3*

Only add 3 cards they it’s ask to pay if you want to add more.

### 1/5 — Was good. Don’t bother now

*2025-12-25, version 2.5.3*

Originally went for it as seemed good and helping out new developers. All of a sudden want to charge ridiculous fees. So went elsewhere. Would not recommend

### 1/5 — FALSE ADVERTISING

*2025-12-12, version 2.4.2*

Image for app says “store all your cards!!” It does not allow you to store more than 3 without paying. It also removes any cards you’ve exported to Apple wallet if you remove from app or remove their app. USELESS!!

### 1/5 — Just stopped working on Apple Watch

*2025-12-11, version 2.5.3*

I have been using this app on my watch, and it’s been excellent. It’s just disappeared and that’s a real pain. This sort of app is reliable or useless.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fantastic and easy to use with amazing support

*2026-08-16, version 2.6.7*

This app is perfect and easy to use; I couldn’t recommend it enough. The support team for this app are 10/10. I requested a companion's official brand logo to be added, received an email not long after I made the request, and it's been officially added to the app. I also ended up upgrading to the lifetime version.

*2026-08-13, version 2.6.7*

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-07-28, version 2.6.5*

This is the sort of app that just effortlessly makes life easier. All your loyalty and membership cards in one place, and I can use it on my Apple Watch. It even works for Parkrun. Well done to the designers. Great stuff

### 5/5 — Must have for Apple Watch

*2026-07-25, version 2.6.5*

Works as advertised. Very smooth. Extremely handy for Apple Watch

### 5/5 — Functional app!

*2026-07-16, version 2.6.5*

Everyone in our warehouse is using this, all our pallets have barcodes and when the guys working forklift are replenishing the aisles, sometimes the barcode is missing or can’t scan. We also each have a unique QR code we keep on a piece of paper to keep track of our scan in and scan out when swapping batteries in our machines.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-06, version 2.6.5*

Very good app, but seems to update every week, which is good, BUT it freezes during the update, on mi iPhone 13, running the latest software 26.5.2
The only way out is to delete the app and reinstall

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-06-26, version 2.6.3*

This is the sort of app that just effortlessly makes life easier. All your loyalty and membership cards in one place, and I can use it on my Apple Watch. It even works for Parkrun. Well done to the designers. Great stuff

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2026-06-25*

Barcodes has been such a refreshing relief since my previous loyalty card app was bought out and imploded. It works smoothly between my iPhone and Apple Watch, giving me the solution I need in every circumstance. As always with the best apps, great customer service whenever you need something, including adding logos that were missing. The light up feature is so useful when scanning in stores. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-06-15, version 2.6.2*

Works as advertised and  easy to  add cards. Brightness feature is really helpful because some readers need barcode to be a little brighter to work.
