### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-05-17*

Its a great app, works well, and gives you pretty much all the info you need.

I do wish you had the ability to zoom in as my company has very small pdf417 barcodes which do scan if I blow them up but almost never scan on this app because I cant get close enough or select 2x zoom.

**Developer response:** Appreciate the feedback & thanks for the suggestion on the zoom. I'll look into adding some zoom functionality soon to help you out!

### 5/5 — Looks great, but could do more.

*2023-04-28*

It does exactly what it says with reading and collecting data. It can even make contacts. I’d love for it to be able to have a way to fill out web forms, simply by scanning the card. The only ones I have found to do that want to charge per scan.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I can look into the web forms, but it may take time to try and handle all the various id names that can be used.

### 5/5 — Simple, Works Offline, Securish

*2022-09-25*

Great simple app to parse and read barcode on US drivers license including many fields, but not all raw text. Works offline, small size <3mb, is quick, and great app privacy settings (no data collection) for a cheap price. Best app I could find for this and should be the top search result. Only wish it had a raw data dump for barcode decode in case other field/value pairs are embedded.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to put this together, it is great to see!

I should have a feature available shortly to export the raw data in the next version.

### 5/5 — Works beautifully

*2021-10-06*

Great app

**Developer response:** Thank you, that's great to hear 👍
