### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-12-21*

Just presents a blank screen, it's blank on both my iPad mini and iPhone 4

### 1/5 — Decodley

*2014-06-21*

When you scan a scan bar it tells you the scan bar number. It does not tell you the price.

### 1/5 — Can' scan small QR and weird results with barcodes

*2013-03-22, version 1.3*

Could not scan ANY qr  code I tested (small ones printed on business cards). Maybe it can scan giant qr codes, but I need an app that can read 1.50cm2 codes and this one can't. Managed to scan barcodes, but scanning the SAME code twice gave different data. Unintuitive and unattractive interface.

### 2/5 — Utilities

*2013-02-27, version 1.3*

Review: 5992

### 5/5 — Works great

*2012-12-10*

Needed to scan codes to obtain their type and value, worked great.

### 1/5 — Your decoder

*2012-10-09, version 1.2*

It's CRAP does NOT work, only from the install page ONCE at a time.

### 5/5 — My favorite scanner

*2012-10-06*

I'm looking for a scanner that just reads the barcode, nothing else.  This fills the bill and works well. Reads most common barcodes.

### 4/5 — Very Handy

*2012-09-09, version 1.1*

Works well. This app is handy for quickly entering barcodes. Saves time entering the numbers if you have a lot of items to scan.

### 4/5 — Works great!

*2012-04-27*

Works better than ANY (even paid) barcode app I've tried on any device, ever. Most impressively, it reads very very quickly. I also like that it reads the barcode from anywhere on the screen. I use this at work to scan long lists of barcodes to later categorize on reports so it's tough to remember what codes go to what category after the fact. It's cumbersome to take the extra clicks to copy each code separately, switch to a memo app and paste. Either the ability to add notes to a scan, scan directly into another app, or even a editable memo within this app would solve that issue for me.  This works so well I would gladly pay for these features.  Even a bulk copy function would be nice.

### 1/5 — Decodely

*2012-02-15, version 1.1*

WOW!  It reads the barcode and tells you the numbers........which are just below the barcode! SO!
It doesn't tell you what it is or how much it costs, just the numbers. What's the point???  Crap!
