About

QR & Barcode Scanner MultiScan

Features
Read full description

A QR code scanner and barcode reader that reads multiple codes at once β€” just point your camera and every code on screen is captured in an instant. Continuous scanning is built in, so you never have to aim at codes one by one. Tickets at an event desk, rows of barcodes on a shelf β€” batch scan them all in a single sweep. Every scan goes straight into your history, ready to search and revisit anytime. Let's end these little chores for good: re-scanning tickets and coupons one at a time, hovering over shelf labels again and again, losing track of a QR code you forgot to note down. Batch scanning and automatic history take that weight off your day. β–  Scan Multiple Codes at Once Detects all the QR codes and barcodes in the frame together. Continuous scanning is fast too, so even a big pile of codes is done in no time. β–  Wide Format Support Reads QR codes as well as 1D barcodes such as EAN, UPC, and Code 128, plus 2D codes including Data Matrix, PDF-417, and Aztec β€” a wide range of the codes you meet in daily life. β–  Automatic History & Search Every scan is recorded on your device automatically. Star the codes you use often, swipe away the ones you don't, and clean up in bulk with multi-select. Even with a long history, a quick search by title or content finds it in seconds. β–  Swipe Through Past Scans Swipe left and right on the result screen to flip through your history like an album. β–  Create Your Own QR Codes (Designer QR) Turn any text or URL into a QR code on the spot. Pick from 3 module shapes, curated color palettes, gradients, and even embed a logo image in the center. Each styled code is scan-checked with the app's own engine, ready to share as a PNG image, and saved to your history. β–  Scan from Photos Detect codes in images from your photo library and screenshots β€” a QR code someone sent you opens right away. β–  Open the Matching App Directly Supported LINE, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Spotify links open in their matching apps when installed β€” no browser detour, straight to the screen you want. β–  Built-in and External Browser Scanned URLs open right inside the app, or in your favorite external browser if you prefer. β–  Zoom and Flashlight Posters high on a wall, tiny part-number labels, dim warehouse shelves β€” zoom and the flashlight bring them all within reach. β–  Sound and Haptic Feedback A sound and a gentle vibration tell you the moment a scan succeeds β€” no need to stare at the screen. Both can be switched on and off individually. β–  Privacy First Your scan history is stored only on your device. The camera is used solely for reading codes. β–  Great For: β€’ Reading product barcodes to look them up on the web β€’ Scanning tickets continuously at event check-in β€’ Reading rows of barcodes for inventory and stocktaking β€’ Jumping to websites from posters and flyers β€’ Searching and revisiting codes you scanned before Available in 24 languages, comfortable on your iPhone. Just point, and it's done β€” make everyday QR and barcode scanning smart with this one app.
