BarcodeChecker for Tickets
Read full descriptionHide full description
BarcodeChecker is an app to scan and check tickets with barcodes or QR codes. It allows event organizers to verify barcode tickets at the entrance with one or multiple iPhones or iPads and log attendance. You cannot use the app to scan lottery tickets or purchased tickets if you are not the event organizer and have a list of valid barcodes. Each valid ticket is admitted only once; forged or copied tickets are rejected. After scanning a valid barcode the iPhone flashes green and beeps 1x, but after scanning an invalid barcode it flashes red, vibrates and beeps 3x. You can check barcode tickets that were printed with the TicketCreator software or import any other list of barcodes or QR codes from an Excel file. For registered tickets the name of the ticket holder or additional info can be displayed after the scan. During scanning, the iPhone/iPad must be connected to a Windows PC, which runs the BarcodeChecker software as server and contains the list of valid barcodes.
