The scam was quick and it captured my info correctly all spelled out, but I might be doing something wrong, but I open Settings and didn’t see anything ### 4/5 — One more feature *2025-02-13, version 7.1.1* I’ve used the ID scanning feature and it works great, but I think there should be a setting to change when to warn me about age, since some restrictions like purchasing alcohol in Canada is the age of 19 not 21 (it failed when it’s under 21 not 19) other wise love the app! ### 4/5 — Illegible *2024-10-24, version 6.28.2* We use this app to scan GS1 Datamatrix codes. The app is great, but the readout values in this version are so tiny we can hardly read them. Please can you fix this? ### 3/5 — Great app, but don’t use it for confidential barcodes *2024-09-27* No ads, super fast, supports many different barcode formats. What more can one ask for? Well it would be nice if it didn’t secretly send all your scans over the internet for “analytics”. Seriously, read the privacy policy and don’t use this app for confidential barcodes! ### 2/5 — no save / export options (great scanning though) *2024-05-06* i'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish with this app as it may be a sales tool for their business product/business subscription, but the app has no ability to save what you've scanned or to export it out. I would be willing to pay 10 or $20 for this app if it had those features. after you scan various barcodes, it shows you their value but once you click on, it's gone there is no history no looking back on what you scanned ### 3/5 — Crash Issues *2024-04-10, version 6.23.2* App crashed a lot for me but good when it worked. ### 3/5 — What happened to Google search? *2023-11-24, version 6.20.2* Older version a scanned UPC could be searched using Google with one click. Now nothing, not even copy and paste is an option. Please put this functionality back! Otherwise scans quickly and accurately. ### 2/5 — scan history removal huge problem *2023-09-22, version 6.19.0* This was the best code scanning app, I was recommending it to my work colleagues and friends, but then you removed the scanning history, and now the app is useless to me as I scan multiple types of codes in one hit, then go back to my MacBook, copy the code out of history in the app and past them where I need them in the websites I work out of. ### 5/5 — Great app with nice features *2023-07-25* I like that you can aim to scan and also scan to a list. Can you make the list export to text or copy all serials at once? Thank you for your app its great ### 5/5 — Worked right off the bat *2023-06-30, version 6.18.1* This was second app I tried and it WORKS when the other didn’t. Highly recommend! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — GS1 parsing broken *2024-12-12, version 7.0.3* Something in the last two weeks broke the GS1 application identifier parsing. The app no longer breaks out GTIN , Serial, Lot Number, Lot Expiry, etc like it used to. Since that was my primary use of this app the app is no longer functional for me. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2024-09-18, version 6.26.2* This was my go to scanner but sometime they changed it and it doesn’t show the complete data which was scanned in a 2D PDF417 scan. I just get … at the end of the line and no way to see the full data. Hoping they correct. ### 1/5 — From excellent to excrement *2024-08-06, version 6.26.0* Does not show full results. No longer able to cut and paste. Web lookup removed. Unless an update fixes this, AVOID this app. ### 1/5 — Can’t save out scanned barcodes *2024-04-03, version 6.23.2* App is useless. You can’t save the barcodes you scan. ### 1/5 — What a joke! *2023-11-05, version 6.20.0* Reads and scans the bar code beautifully! Yay! IF you can find where the code went, good luck getting it to open to see what the numbers mean. All I got was a bunch of numbers that I can already read on my item I finally deleted the app and went elsewhere ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2023-10-02, version 6.19.2* I've been using this app for 3+ years without any problem. Now, it scans but doesn't open anything. ### 1/5 — Scan History was removed *2023-09-05, version 6.19.0* One of the best features, scan history, was removed in a recent update. It seems my history is gone, so I'm giving a one-star review. ### 1/5 — No longer saves scans *2023-08-31, version 6.18.3* With the new update, as soon as you close the app all scans are erased. This basically makes the app useless. ### 1/5 — Older App better *2023-08-23, version 6.18.3* Used to be able to get a list of scans and save them. That function is gone or can’t be found easily. Liked 3 year old version better. ### 1/5 — Latest update destroyed all value *2023-08-22, version 6.18.3* Scandit used to display the full scanned data - no loger does. Also gave a history of scanned data - also gone. It's now no better than the built-in scanner. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yep *2026-06-26, version 8.5.0* Just noticed Scandit on the Yuka app, this app rocks ### 5/5 — The most underrated app *2026-06-12, version 8.4.1* Tested 30+ more barcode apps, this is the best by far ### 5/5 — First use *2025-02-13, version 7.1.1* I just needed to scan some 1D barcodes and know the symbology. Scandit performed perfectly. Thank you. ### 5/5 — scans just about everything *2025-01-14, version 7.0.3* works great, it’s super capable, and there’s no ads and tracking built in ### 5/5 — Incredibly fast *2024-03-15, version 6.23* Even when the camera is still focusing it seems to scan a Code 3 of 9 barcode as fast as if it were a laser. Incredibly impressive, does exactly what you want, with no interruptions. ### 5/5 — Works on almost any barcode *2024-03-12, version 6.23* I was looking for an app to read a barcode where the numbers were damaged. But now I use this program all the time. Need to read the code on a gift card? Or a coupon code for for online shopping? This program does it all without fuss and without calling home. ### 5/5 — I use this personally . I never do reviews *2024-03-05* With the less ratings , something called to this app . I activate phones on my phone at events and It slows me down punching one number at a time , and why a barcode scanner gun? This app is so productive it has gotten me more customer and higher sales with phone activations . I let it scan all the barcodes and copy and paste and so smooth . I hope this company just keeps improving because they just know what people need . I tried the best one and it does not read it . This one Scandit is my money maker . Thanks Scandit . I approve this app I’m from California . So this ain’t not paid review either . ### 5/5 — Outrageously fast scanning *2024-01-16, version 6.21.3* Was trawling through the app store looking for a good scanner and saw this one. Anyone looking for a good scanning technology that is fast at recognising various barcodes, needs to check this out. You've barely enough time to put the barcode into the camera's field of view before this thing has done it's job and decoded the scan. Highly impressive demo. ### 5/5 — Best scanner app *2023-08-31* No ads, very fast, and supports many codes. The app is also very flexible with multiple modes such as continuous scanning or multiple codes in a single scan. The only downside is the latest update cuts off the scanning results for longer text. Now I have to copy and paste the result to another app to see the whole thing. ### 5/5 — Used to be a great app *2023-08-24, version 6.18.3* Used this app daily and it had been great for years. The newest version (6.18.3) that was released no longer shows character count or differentiates between CODE128 and GS1-128 barcodes. The app is no longer suitable for my needs and I am looking for a replacement. Update 8/20/23 - looks like this issue has been corrected. It now differentiates these barcodes and I like the new scan history tool. It picks the barcode a little quicker than I would like when multiple barcodes are seen, but it seems to do a good job of looking for the center most barcode so it picks the right one. I am back to using this and can stop wasting my time looking for an alternative. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
