### 5/5 — Bester Barcode Scanner!

*2026-04-17*

Ich benutze diesen zur Kontrolle und zum Auslesen von Barcodes auf Medizinprodukten. Die Aufschlüsselung des Barcode-Inhalts ist sauber. Ein Feedback wurde vom Entwickler in kurzer Zeit umgesetzt. Vielen Dank und weiter so!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr positives Feedback! Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass die App Ihnen zuverlässig hilft und Ihren Erwartungen entspricht. 

Besonders freut uns, dass das Update gut geklappt hat und die App wieder zuverlässig funktioniert – genau so erhoffe ich mir den Austausch mit den Nutzern der App. 

Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung und das Vertrauen.

### 5/5 — Доверьте экспорт

*2026-01-28*

Нужен экспорт всех данных истории. Отсканирован например 10 бутылок, зашел в историю и экспортировал все. А так по 1 приходится. А еще было бы отлично добавить возможность выбрать и удалить сразу несколько или все из истории.

### 5/5 — Super appli

*2025-10-07*

Bonne appli permettant de valider entre autres les datamatrix au standard GS1
Bonne réactivité du développeur qui m’a rajouté un id GS1 qui n’était pas encore pris en compte

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the great feedback! If you have any further ideas for improving the app, please let me know.

### 3/5 — ITF-14 Unrecognizable

*2025-04-01*

This might be no fault of the application but rather phone limitations. ITF-14 will not scan

### 5/5 — Finally, an app that shows the GS character!

*2023-02-24*

After searching for quite a while, I finally found it. An iOS app I can use to help debug GS1 barcodes! Not only does it show that all-important GS character, but it even parses the various GS1 segments for me so I don't have to do it in my head. Thank you for putting in the work on this, Toni! Definitely worth my $2 👍

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great feedback kn my App!
If I can help you or you have feature ideas, please let me know via email. 
Best regards
Toni

### 5/5 — Schneller und schönster GS1 Scanner

*2022-10-26*

Der Scanner ist schnell und einfach zu bedienen. Im Lager kann ich so sehr schnell Details über unsere Produkte sehen und habe zudem noch eine History über meine Scans.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank, für das tolle Feedback. Bei Fragen, Ideen oder Anregungen bitte gerne jederzeit melden.

Liebe Grüße,
Toni

### 5/5 — Klasse App

*2022-05-17*

Klasse App, um mal auf die Schnelle Daten eines Barcodes anzeigen zu lassen und zu prüfen 👍
Mehr Lokalisierungen (z.Z. nur Englisch) wäre fein.

**Developer response:** Hi Jo,
vielen Dank für das klasse Feedback und die Idee zur Verbesserung. Tatsächlich komme ich aus Deutschland, aber habe die App bisher noch nicht übersetzt, da die Anwender aus sehr unterschiedlichen Ländern kommen und das für mich den Wartungsaufwand erhöht. aber gerne arbeite ich in Zukunft daran und baue auch eine Übersetzung für Deutsch ein.

Liebe Grüße,
Toni

### 4/5 — Showing control characters.

*2022-03-29*

When your APP Description said you showed group separators I was hoping it would show all the control characters inside the 2D barcodes. Besides the Group Separator (GS) hex1D; there are also commonly Record Separators (RS) hex 1E; and also End of Text (EOT) hex04. 
It would be so much more useful to see all the Control Characters. 
To be fair - your showing 1 of the 3 common control characters puts you ahead of the pack of other APPs.

**Developer response:** Hi Bobert,

I really appreciate the great feedback. About your comment, I'd really appreciate if you can reach out to me via kontak@toni-hoffmann.com, so I can better understand your suggestions and improve the App for you.

Best regards
Toni Hoffmann

### 5/5 — Best App for GS1 Datamatrix

*2022-02-26*

This App is by far the best barcode scanner for GS1 Datamatrix codes. As it comes with excellent support, it is absolutely worth the humble price. Thank you very much!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much Sebastian, I'm happy that you contacted me and that we could improve the App together.

### 1/5 — 骗人的，退货

*2021-07-15*

请求退货无法生成
