## What is iScanBrowser?

iScanBrowser is the world's only customizable web browser to utilize WebForm Rules (WFR) technology to make scanning with Barcode & NFC Readers into Web Apps and Web Pages easy. 

Eliminate tap-to-focus user errors.
With devices that connect to iOS in Keyboard mode, you must tap into a field and then scan. Manually tapping into each input field slows the user down and increases the likelihood of errors. iScanBrowser eliminates user errors with WFR technology.

iScanBrowser is your Solution.

By using WebForm Rules (WFR) technology, iScanBrowser allows the user to post data into virtually any field on any web page, including your custom made web application, no tapping required*!  Simply set up the rules to target the desired target location for data, connect the scanning device, and capture– swipe the card, scan the barcode or RFID tag - the data is instantly posted to the designated field, every time.

iScanBrowser also supports BlueSnap M6A wireless RS-232 dongles to enable legacy RS-232 hardware such as NFC/RFID & barcode readers, scales, calipers & sensors to work with your custom web app.

iScanBrowser also features a full-screen Kiosk mode to maximize visibility, and has the ability to keep users on task by hiding browser controls, preventing unwanted URL entries. 

Read & write NDEF data using idChamp RS4. Open browser page to any URL stored on the RFID-NFC tag in NDEF format.

Read HID Corporate 1000 cards, Elite, iClass Seos, Prox, ioProx, Indalia, Casi-Rusco, AWID, EM4x00, NTAG, MIFARE Ultralight, and many more.

Use NFC & BLE credentials using idChamp RS4.

Measure distance with Leica Disto E7100i, E7500i, etc. and post Keyboard simulation post measurements to all apps that accept keystrokes. Use measurement rounding feature for simplified use e.g. round to nearest fraction of foot, meter, inch.


iScanBrowser supports more brands of barcode and RFID readers than any product of its kind, including Scanfob® brand UHF, NFC, Barcode, idChamp® NF4x, RS3x, and many others, as well as numerous Bluetooth Smart (aka BLE), and MFi (Made for iOS) Bluetooth devices including Socket CHS family, Allflex RS420, Koamtac KDC Family, TSL UHF family, Tertium Blueberry family, CAEN qID family.

### 4/5 — Works Great for me

*2018-12-16*

I saw the negative reviews and thought I would defend the seller based on my experience.

This app is designed and intended to work with their scanners.  I have continued to receive great support from them for 2 years after purchasing their scanner.

It works great to put QR code data into a web based form system like google forms/sheets or Jotform.  With jotform you can do continuous scanning without touching the iPhone in between scans.

Their scanners also work great.

### 1/5 — Not even close - don't waste your $$

*2013-12-02*

Several problems with this app: doesn't work with dynamic web pages (php=no) so trying to scan your information into a large dynamic database won't work. Absolutely no documentation with this app and the company will only assist you IF you purchased your scanner from them. (And it's like twisting their arm to help = no customer service). It may work only if your page is written in static HTML, but for almost $20 it's definitely not even close to worth it

### 1/5 — Instructions?

*2013-05-24*

How are you supposed to know what to do with this? All it does is take you to a website. Waste of time.

### 5/5 — Good

*2012-11-28*

Good

### 1/5 — This isn't an app

*2012-02-08, version 1.0.8*

This isn't an app, and should be removed from the store

### 1/5 — Scanner??

*2012-01-09*

How us this a scanner? It scans nothing. It opens a webpage. I do see it has an in app purchase option for $19.99, but no where does it tell you what that $20 unlocks. Scanning? Who the hell knows, but I am not gambling $20 to find out. What a joke.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2011-12-29*

This is a complete waste. An app that takes you to a website? How did this get through apple? The instructions are non-existent.  Live the scanfob but the app is useless.

### 1/5 — What?

*2011-07-30, version 1.0.2*

You have to buy a devise for this app to work?  There are better price comparing scanner app than this.  I was looking for an app to scan a data base, this is not it.

### 1/5 — Waste

*2011-06-17*

Don't purchase!

### 1/5 — It's fake

*2011-05-05, version 1.0.0*

It just takes you to their website to hock their products
