### 5/5 — The perfect barcode reader

*2022-12-14*

I’ve looked for years for a barcode reader that didn’t have ads or had a subscription model. I’m glad I found you! Also, I love the fact that I can see the number and type of symbology live. You should launch this app as a barcode app alone, you guys deserve to be the top app.
