In particolare, avevo bisogno di un'app semplice, reattiva e senza fronzoli (come call-to-action inutili per spingere l'utente a registrarsi o per acquistare piani a pagamento/acquisti in app) per scansionare codici Aztec e Data matrix, e occasionalmente dei codici a barre per controllare che siano scansionabili. Ottima anche la possibilità di creare vari codici, oltre che scansionarli. Non sono solito recensire app sull'App Store, ma questa si merita tutte e 5 le stelle! Mi auguro che lo sviluppatore non decida in futuro di inserire pubblicità nell'app (piuttosto preferirei contribuire con una piccola donazione e usufruire dell'app senza ads). ### 5/5 — Die beste App um Barcodes zu lesen *2025-01-22, version 2.11.4* Die beste App die mir bisher in die Finger gekommen ist! Keine Werbung, schnell, zuverlässig, kostenlos. Liest so ziemlich alles was irgendwie lesbar ist, die App kann sogar den Kamera Zoom verwenden. Bitte macht unbedingt weiter so. ### 5/5 — super *2024-12-12, version 2.11.4* funktioniert einwandfrei. ist ohne werbung und ohne sniffing. sollte im app store gaaaaaanz oben stehen, wenn man nach einem QR/Barcode/Datamatrix-Scanner sucht. ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2024-10-26* No ads, IAPs, and works smoothly and perfectly. A model of an app. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert einwandfrei, werbefrei *2024-10-24, version 2.11.2* Genau das was ich gesucht habe. Super App, dankeschön! ### 5/5 — vorbildlich *2024-08-09, version 2.9.4* sauber programmiert, gutes design, es werden keine nutzerdaten erfasst und kostenlos. besser gehts nichts. dafür würde ich sogar bis zu 3€ zahlen. ### 5/5 — Great app! Scans stacked GS1’s *2024-08-05* Great app! Scans stacked GS1’s quickly and so far accurately! From my monitor even! Thanks so much!!! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars! Does What It’s Supposed To Do *2024-03-08* 5 stars! Had a contract specd with ecc200 barcode requirements. I had used another app an it had embedded their website info within the barcode, this app does not do any of the sort an it was actually how I even fount out the other app was a sham. Not only did it let me create the ecc200 barcode as I said it also lets you scan it an fact check the barcode too, any capable hand scanner for ecc200 is rather pricy so this free working option was nice. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great App, Incredibly Versatile *2024-01-29* This app scans any bar code, printed or digital. Far more capable than most barcode apps on the store. Very happy user! ### 5/5 — Klein aber fein *2023-12-23, version 2.8.2* Nach langem Suchen endlich die App, die einfach tut, was sie soll. Sie gibt die technischen Details der Codes aus und kann auch Data Matrix Code (DMC) und andere Formate. Da ich gerade schaue, ob DMC fürs Asset Management bei uns geeignet ist, ist dieses die perfekte Lösung dafür. ### 5/5 — Scans, Identifies, and Creates *2023-10-04* Can not only scan barcodes, but also identifies the type. You can create barcodes with the app, too. I haven’t encountered any ads or annoyances. ### 5/5 — All the necessary functions *2022-12-07* And no advertisements. Perfect! ### 5/5 — Umfangreich, schnell, werbefrei *2022-07-05, version 1.5.9* Schnelle App, die eine Vielzahl verschiedenster Codes (QR, Datamatrix, Barcodes, …) nicht nur lesen, sondern auch erstellen kann. Dabei kostenlos und werbefrei. Klarer Fall für fünf Sterne. ### 5/5 — A Beautifully Simple App *2021-11-14* I needed a data matrix barcode scanner that allows me to copy the code quickly for pasting elsewhere. This app does it simply and with no pop ups or tricks to get you to agree to a subscription. I would have happily paid $5 for this one. Thanks for getting it so right! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-07* Sucks ### 1/5 — only one scan? *2026-07-29* it won’t let me scan anything else after just one scan ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-02-18* I get copy or close. Neither choice produces a result **Developer response:** We are sorry that the app does not meet your expectations. May we ask what type of barcode you scan (qr code, DataMatrix etc.) and what you expect to see as a result? The purpose of this app is to read and display the content of different barcode types. Depending on what is contained in the barcode, the result will be displayed as text, as a link, etc. If you are trying to create a barcode, you can do this via the "Create" menu item. If you have any further questions, you can also write to us at info@kurzdigital.com ### 2/5 — Parsed data section is missing *2026-08-24* I really love this app and use it often to view parsed data but now that section is missing. App is useless to me now and I have to find a different one. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback and sorry that the parsed data view disappeared in 3.1.0. This has been fixed in version 3.2.0. Please update the app and give it another try. If you still cannot find the section or run into any issues, please contact us directly so we can help. We'd really appreciate it if you could reconsider your rating once you've had a chance to test the update. ### 3/5 — App is great. Nag not so much *2026-06-02* App works great. However plan on submitting a review to get rid of the nag pop up😡 ### 3/5 — Hit 3 by mistake! 1 star *2024-04-13* This does not load the sites that it allegedly goes to!!! all I get are the iPhone open up to send an email, or send a message. Or print that is completely absolutely totally useless if you were attempting to use it as I am right now to register a 12 V acid battery for a UPS. ### 5/5 — Excellent compatibility *2026-08-13* Reads all sorts of codes swiftly and correctly. Would recommend ### 5/5 — Best App for Scanning *2026-05-22* I have to scan barcodes in a manufacturing environment and sometimes the barcodes can be difficult to read, especially when they’re in tight spaces and poor lighting. The flashlight features and options are extremely convenient and the supported format options are awesome. I’ve found that if this app can’t scan it, I won’t be able to scan it with a true manufacturing scanner either. Pretty game-changing compared to the other scanner apps I tried to use previously. ### 5/5 — Works great on Data Matrix codes *2026-02-11* Very simple - scan and copy the information generated. Works perfectly. ### 5/5 — I am so happy i found this app *2025-12-30* Part of my job is to check the data matrix codes on product packaging and this helps me do my job. It reads it so well and so fast its unbelievable! Love it and thank you!! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 0xC05D28952A49820BBfBB4A6e26ebFe654Fd63b41 *2025-11-16* We love you ### 5/5 — Klar, schnell, sehr durchdacht *2025-10-10, version 2.15.2* Es gibt sie noch Qualität „Made in Germany“. Alles ist klar aufgebaut, man findet sich sofort zurecht. Reagiert schnell, scannt ohne Zögern und kommt mit allen gängigen Barcode- und QR-Code-Arten problemlos klar – selbst wenn der Code ein bisschen verknittert oder schwach gedruckt ist. Sehr praktisch ist, dass man nicht nur scannen, sondern auch eigene Barcodes und QR-Codes erstellen kann. Links kann man direkt öffnen oder sich erst als Text anzeigen lassen. So sieht man genau, was drin steckt, bevor man irgendwo landet. Auf Wunsch lassen sich sogar die kompletten Rohdaten eines Codes einblenden. Besonders angenehm ist auch, dass alle gescannten Barcodes automatisch in einer übersichtlichen Liste gespeichert werden. Eine zuverlässige App ohne unnötigen Schnickschnack, die einfach funktioniert und durchdacht wirkt. ### 5/5 — A straight forward app that works flawlessly *2025-09-16* I tried other apps to scan some parts with codes that even scan guns and other apps that enabled the wrong camera were not able to read. This app runs incredibly smooth and you just get the bar code barely in range and it reads it right away. I honestly barely see this quality functionality in things nowadays and felt the need to leave a review to show appreciation. Will recommend to others. Shout out to the team that made this. ### 5/5 — Worked instantly *2025-06-19* 4th app I tried, none worked, this did in literally 2 seconds after I opened it…nice work ### 5/5 — Gute App *2025-06-04, version 2.12.0* Liest jeden Code, wär schön wenn man auch bereits gescannte QR Codes sehen könnte und nicht nur die darin enthaltenen Daten. ### 5/5 — Davvero ottima, legge anche codici un po’ spiaditi o rovinati *2025-05-14, version 2.12.0* Davvero ottima app, ho fatto un po’ di fatica a leggere codici un po’ rovinati ma ottima app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
