### 4/5 — Works simply, and well... QUESTION THOUGH?

*2017-03-14*

I like the app... it works quite simply, which is good!  I would like to involve it from another app... does anyone know if CopyBarcode registers itself with a custom URL in the iOS environment when it launches??  This would allow the app to be launched from another app, following iOS protocol, using a custom URL...
