Card Barcodes keeps every loyalty and membership card on your iPhone, ready to scan. It is free, with no ads, no in-app purchases and no limit on how many cards you keep, and it always will be. READY AT THE CHECKOUT Open a card and the screen brightens, so the scanner reads it first time. The number sits under the barcode for when it needs typing in. THE RIGHT CARD WHEN YOU ARRIVE Add the places you use a card, from the map or by searching for a store, a street or a ZIP code. When you get there, a notification reminds you, and tapping it opens the card. The Home Screen widget shows the card for where you are, and a card with several places lists the five nearest. ADD A CARD IN SECONDS Point the camera at a card's barcode, or choose a photo or a file of it. Card Barcodes reads QR codes, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Aztec and PDF417. If a card has no barcode, type its number in. FIND AND SHARE Search your cards and sort them by last viewed, your own order or the nearest place. Share a card as a link someone can add to their own Card Barcodes, or as a picture. EVERY CARD IN ITS OWN COLOR Choose from 23 colors or any color you like, and give each card an icon. Text stays readable on all of them. ON YOUR IPHONE AND IPAD Your cards sync through your own iCloud account, so they are on your iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. There is no account to create. PRIVATE There are no ads or analytics, and nothing tracks you. Your location stays on your device, except that Apple Maps is asked to find and name the places you add. Export your cards to a file whenever you want. FOR EVERYONE Card Barcodes works with VoiceOver, larger text sizes and dark mode.
