You do not need a special scanner to check GoOut tickets right at the gate. With our new app, GoOut Scanner, all you need is a smartphone or a tablet. Just download the app to your device and you can start right away. Camera The app allows you to scan both QR codes and barcodes. To scan tickets, just point your camera at the code. If you need to focus manually, tap on your screen. If there is a problem scanning the ticket, try zooming it in or out, or re-focusing manually. Search Bar You can also search for tickets manually using the Search Bar (the Magnifying Glass icon). Use this function in case something goes wrong – the customer lost their paper ticket, their phone battery has died, or there is a problem scanning the ticket (broken phone screen, dirty paper, etc.). Settings The Three Dots icon will show you additional settings details. You can update the Tickets Database, as well as download this handbook to your device.
